"I want to meet master Aiden" Harry has become so comfortable with Aiden that using master before his name was so awkward but he knew these are basic formalities that one has do.
Hearing it the receptionist came back to his senses and Started paying attention.
"Sir, Do you have appointment" Fat guy asked straightening his posture, he was worried if this person had some real connection than he could very well be in trouble.
He can't change how he behaved but now being polite could make a softer image in the young man's mind.
Harry hearing it, was perplexed because he didn't had a way to contact Aiden. Neither had any appointment. He could see himself being kicked out in one or two minutes.
"Can you tell Master Aiden that Harry is here to meet."
Seeing Harry up and down, receptionist was in conflict whether to tell Aiden about this man or not, but what could he do if this student is connected to Aiden and he didn't call or he calls and this man is not affiliated with Aiden, in both ways he is doomed.
He suddenly heard a voice in his head,
"Send the boy up to sir Aiden"
It was a familiar voice by one of their staff who works as communicator, she mostly talks when there are direct orders from elders.
Harry was waiting for answer but seeing changing face of receptionist he was ready to go out.
"You can go on top, you will find master Aiden there." Receptionist replied.
Thankyou for the help.
Taking stairs near the reception desk he reached the top. The area was smaller than ground floor but still had many rooms on top with different names carved on the wooden door.
As he was about to try finding the right room, a lady came out of the first room with elegant steps. she approached him.
She was a Beauty, wearing standard clothes hiding every part of her body.
She extended her arm meeting with Harry and shook.
"The last room, Aiden is waiting for you" she said and went back to room.
It was strange, if she was just here to tell the way, why not just speak from distance and go back to room. And if she wanted to talk at least tell the name.
Shaking his head he entered the room.
Aiden was sitting on a desk, going through multiple screen on the desk.
There were different maps that Harry was unable to identify beside one which looked like academy's.
"I hope you have some solid reason to meet, Even if you don't, i don't mind" Aiden said.
Aiden was not against the meeting it's just if Harry has taken him granted then it won't be good and their casual meeting could lead to problems for Harry.
Harry not answering anything continued walking to the desk, he can see Aiden isn't taking him seriously which is not strange seeing the difference in their level. But now he was there as a merchant and being undermined could bring loss to his business.
Aiden could sense the intention behind those green eyes, they were full of confidence but were they really?, he could feel a little nervousness but a solid will, which is hard to find in these days.
He also knew the people with solid will perish first if they don't learn to mold it while keeping intentions same. It is all about targeting same thing but with different ways.
Harry brought 2 rings out from his storage which were made of celestium metal. Looks were fancy but there was a underlining secretive sense.
It would be hard for anyone to notice a specific reason. for Aiden it was his daily job and something related to his element. He instantly knew what was special about the rings.
"Space Rings" he blurted out. The reason for his shock wasn't that he has never seen a space ring, even he had one on his own. But the mere fact that Harry brought them out so casually was the Main reason of shock.
These rings were enough to bring fights between to small town lords.
"Where did you get them" as he said these words he felt his heart about to explode.
Before Harry could answer
"No way you awakened the space element" Aiden grabbed his head bursting out with laughter.
This freaking genius has so many cards that one card is enough to kill himself.
If this freak Crossed path with someone powerful and had conflicting interest he could clearly imagine how they would put their whole life on the line to kill him before he grows out.
Harry sees all this act, "what? Have I done something wrong".
"Okay listen you were already something to hide but now we have to do some serious conversation.
This world is not as serene as outside that I assume you must have already learned but still remember, keep your powers in check. Hide your trump cards, don't show off to get laid with girls.
There will always be someone out there who could crush you with a single click of fingers."
Harry was aware of these things he never used all of his cards. Most terrific was his soul judgement sword. But not using any power would lead to death the other way. So he was trying to use his most powers but in a limited way which would make him talented but not enough to feel threatened.
It was a deception in a deception itself. He won't explain these things to even Aiden. If he told Aiden then what is the meaning of deception.
Seeing no reaction Aiden realised how he was acting out of character so he adjusted his posture and asked.
"So what do you want".
"I want to sell these and as you said I need to lay low but I still need money so you can sell them in your name, just give me 500,000 for each."
"Aiden picked a ring and checked, nice formations, no sign of breaks. These are too perfect to be your first time, but 500,000 for each,are you sure?. Did you check market price I can take them for 100,000 each since I am also doing you a favour." Aiden smile he wants to check how Harry would react.
He has thrown his cards putting pressure by reminding that Harry needs Aiden not the other way around.
"But you can sell these in a auction and I am sure you will get at least something more valuable item in exchange since putting a value on these rare things are not good." Harry turned the table by putting rings into the invaluable item section.
"Yeah you are right but you know some low level space element user are always forging one. At least one in a week. So these low space rings are not as rare as much wider space one's. Since those can only be made by high level space master who are far and few in whole universe."
Both said in unison .
(300,000)(Harry)
(200,000)(Aiden)
Okay 200,000 with this mask.
Aiden brought out a mask on table, i don't have much use of it but it could help you.
