Regina's breath caught for a moment at Daniel's words, as he claimed that she insisted on giving him the Golden Immortal Token. She wondered if he even understood how rare this token was.
However, remembering Daniel's strength, she decided not to argue. With an awkward nod, she quickly walked away.
"You really don't know how to appreciate a woman's goodwill, do you?"
Charlene teased him from the side. After all, women understood each other best.
Daniel shot her a glance. "And you'd rather I be more appreciative?"
Charlene didn't respond, but her fingers playfully moved on his arm.
Daniel ignored her and turned to Isaac. "Mr. Hayes, does this thing allow me to bring in more people? Is it more valuable?" he asked.
Isaac's expression turned complex.
"By the rules, the Immortal Syndicate cannot refuse any request made by the holder of a Golden Immortal Token," Isaac explained with a wry smile. "To be honest, this is the first time I've seen a real one in all these years."
The Immortal Token was merely an entry pass, but the Golden Immortal Token was a symbol of status.
Daniel wasn't the type to exploit privileges for small gains. Besides, it wouldn't be wise to push things too far and risk offending the Immortal Syndicate.
"Could this be just a flashy item with no real value?" he scoffed.
Isaac's expression grew serious. "Quite the opposite. As I said, the Golden Immortal Token can grant any request, including early access to bidding and the ability to select a seller."
Daniel raised an eyebrow. While those rights might not seem like much at first, they were actually privileges.
For example, if he had his eyes on a particular spiritual herb, he wouldn't even have to compete in the auction. The Immortal Syndicate would simply deliver it to him at a fair price. If the price exceeded what they considered reasonable, they would cover the excess cost themselves.
And it was the same for selecting a specific seller. It all comes down to the Immortal Syndicate having the final say.
