"What?"

Joey thought he must have misheard.

"The Arkja Ruby, priced at 2 million gold coins, has just been bought!"

Anna calmed down a bit and answered more fluently.

"It was just sold like that? It was priced at a whopping 2 million gold coins!"

"Perhaps someone has been keeping an eye on this ruby, or maybe we set the price too low!"

It was clear that Anna regretted the price she had just set and felt guilty towards Joey.

"This...this is amazing!"

Although I underestimated the world of the wealthy, 2 million gold coins was indeed a fortune I could never have dreamed of.

"Um... dear Mr. Joey, I need to have this ruby ​​shipped to the buyer via the system!"

Anna was still holding the box containing the ruby ​​in her hands. Although she had already sold it to someone else, she still greeted Joey.

"Okay, go ahead, but I wonder when my 2 million gold coins will arrive?"

Joey didn't care about the ruby's true purpose; what he was after was the real gold coins. He was concerned about when he could pocket that huge amount of gold.

"The money should have already arrived. If you have already opened an account at the Goblin Bank, the money will go directly to your account!"

After saying this, Anna walked straight out of the room, since the goblin system still had requirements for the timely delivery of items.

"Dear Mr. Joey, please take out the deposit slip I just gave you and let me see it!"

Phil, having recovered from his shock, reminded Joey of something.

Joey didn't delay and immediately took out the voucher.

"!"

Upon seeing this number, Joey became excited. After deducting the gold handling fee, plus the gold coins he had just deposited into the bank and the 90 gold coins he had deposited in Gold Rush Town, this was the total.

(I'm rich! Although I don't know exactly how much money I have now, I feel like I no longer have to be at the mercy of others or work for them!)

At that very moment, Joey was already thinking about whether he should go straight to Barron City, buy a mansion there, marry dozens of beautiful wives, and live a peaceful and stable life.

Farewell, my Lady Catherine!

Farewell, my Leviathan!

Goodbye, my big beard!

I've arrived, my widowed wife Vivian!

Although he had this idea, it was only a fleeting thought. As a nouveau riche, he had no connections or resources. He would probably only be an ATM for powerful lords in Baron City. This was a lesson he learned from his past life.

"Alright, Phil, let's go. I reckon news of what happened today will spread throughout Ashfurnace City soon, and I don't want anyone to know that I sold this gem!"

After Joey finished speaking, he got up and left. Phil naturally understood Joey's thoughts. He understood the principle of not flaunting wealth, which was an unspoken rule in the goblin system. However, he had never met a client with such a high net worth before.

The two hurriedly left the auction house, and even when they encountered Anna who was preparing to return, they didn't have time to say goodbye. This was because Anna was already surrounded by goblins from other auction houses, all asking who the person who had brought out the Ekya Ruby was.

Although Anna saw the two from afar, she tacitly refrained from calling out to them. Having been in this line of work for a long time, she naturally understood these things.

The two returned to the Goblin Bank, which was bustling with activity as a huge sum of gold coins had just been deposited into their account. However, due to the customer's privacy policy, only the bank manager and the employee who handled the transaction knew the customer's information.

"Is he/she your customer?"

"Good heavens, you really think highly of me. I wish it were me!"

"I bet it was you who asked that on purpose, planning to keep it from us?"

"I'm not that bored!"

...

"Look, Phil's back!"

The goblins were having a heated discussion in the bank. When Phil returned, they enthusiastically shared the breaking news with him, assuming he must have missed it since he had just run out.

"Yes, I accompanied a client to the auction house!"

Phil smiled insincerely, pretending not to know anything.

"Although you met a good customer who deposited gold today, just now, another big customer with 2 million gold appeared. If you had been in the bank just now, you might have had the same good fortune."

"That's such a pity!"

Phil looked somewhat disappointed, then turned to look at Joey behind him, suppressing a laugh.

"Alright, I won't bother you anymore, your client is still following you!"

The goblin in front of them left, and Phil led Joey away alone.

"Phil, besides depositing money, what else can we deposit at your bank?"

As soon as Joey and Phil entered a private room, before Joey could even sit down, she asked Phil a mysterious question.

"Of course! Our Goblin Bank has the best safekeeping services in the entire continent of Budalas, and we have never had a single theft!"

Phil didn't know what Joey was going to store, but judging from Joey's expression, it was definitely not an ordinary thing.

"This is it!"

Joey took the Aqua sapphire, which emitted a pale blue glow, out of his pouch.

After the ruby ​​was bought, Joey had this idea. Although he felt it was good to keep important things on his person, something worth 2 million gold coins might still be a hidden danger. With his current strength, he didn't think he was capable of keeping his things safe forever. There were too many strong people in this world. Perhaps he would only feel truly safe when he had the strength of Archmage Meld.

Moreover, he doesn't plan to sell this sapphire for the time being. Once the mysterious buyer has collected all four gems, it wouldn't be difficult for him to sell this sapphire for 3 million gold. That's how speculation works.

"Aikoa Sapphire?"

Phil's eyes widened in disbelief. He never expected that after going to sell a ruby ​​with Joey, he would come back to find a sapphire. Had the Arkja gem become so common that it was everywhere?

Joey didn't answer, but gave Phil an affirmative look.

...

Inside the castle of Ashfire City.

The city lord entered Archmage Meld's room carrying an exquisite box.

"Meld, I've bought the Arkia Ruby for you!"
