He ran The Dueling Dragon , a dingy cantina built into the carcass of a crashed Kree warship orbiting the Battlerealm’s core. His specialty wasn't fighting. It was liquidating .

Kael winked. “Who said I only had one?”

He slid open a reinforced drawer beneath the counter. Inside, nestled on a bed of shredded ISO-8, were seventeen identical 3-Star Groots. Same signature level. Same dupe count. Same pathetic stats.

The second buyer was a completionist. A deranged millionaire from Sector 7-G who had every single Champion except the original, pre-buff, utterly pathetic 3-Star Groot. Kael named his price: three Tier 5 Basic Catalysts. The millionaire paid without blinking.

“Now get out there,” Kael said. “And remember—the most valuable Champion in the Battlerealm isn’t the one who wins the most fights. It’s the one someone else thinks they can’t live without.”

“The secret,” Kael said, closing the drawer, “isn’t power. Power is a commodity. Anyone can sell a 7-Star King Groot. The real art, the luxury trade, is selling absence . You convince a whale they’re missing something. You convince a hustler they need a joke. You convince a mad scientist that the worst champion in the game holds the key to the best strategy.”

He polished a glass with a rag that smelled of burned electronics.

Kael sold the Groot. Again.

But Kael wasn’t most Summoners.
