"Respected Mister Maxim, this price is already very fair. With your physique, a mere bowl of blood is nothing, not like I'm asking for your essence blood.
A quick nap and you will have recovered, without any impact on your health.
Forget it, dragon blood is rare after all, I'll add another five thousand gold coins!"
No sooner had Hudson finished speaking than Maxim's anger escalated. After all this talk, it still came down to wanting his blood.
A mere 15,000 gold coins and they think that can make him submit, it's nothing short of a daydream.
Negotiations failed, and Hudson did not raise the price any further. Experiments also need to consider costs, and if dragon blood wasn't so rare, a bowl of ordinary dragon blood would be worth this much.
Without dragon blood, let alone bear blood. Maxim might not care about a bowl of blood, but Belsden is different; the fellow's grown so big yet never shed a drop.
