Fairness, Justice

"Young Master, did you remember something that made you happy?"

Flender said with a dark expression.

He had a feeling that the man before him had laughed strangely just now, as though he were mocking him.

That's right. I was mocking you.

A dignified Soul Saint had fallen to such a state and was even being mocked by a noble young master. It was already impressive that Flender had not flown into a rage on the spot.

"My second uncle's third concubine's little nephew's... became a Soul Master today. What a wonderful occasion."

Neuvillette said calmly, as if such a person truly existed.

"???"

Flender froze, blinked, and looked at Neuvillette in confusion.

He had merely become a Soul Master, and he was such a distant relative too. Well... could someone that distant even count as family?

Just as Flender was about to say something else, Neuvillette pointed at the "impure" crystal beside him and said, "Boss, how much is this crystal?"

Hearing this, Flender did not think much of it and looked in the direction Neuvillette was pointing. When he saw that it was the crystal full of impurities, his previously cheerful mood instantly sank.

That crystal was nothing but impurities. Selling it for even one Gold Soul Coin would mean the buyer was blind.

This young master's status and standing were clearly extraordinary. His outfit alone could not have been bought without spending at least several thousand Gold Soul Coins.

Flender did not believe Neuvillette was unaware of that crystal's value.

He's probably looking for an excuse to leave. Sigh, what a pity for this big... cough, young master.

With that thought, Flender waved his hand and said, "If Young Master likes it, one Gold Soul Coin will do."

After saying that, Flender slowly walked back to his recliner and lay down again, looking utterly at ease.

Neuvillette did not stand on ceremony. He picked up the Tabular Crystal from the table, examined it briefly, then placed it into the Storage Bracelet on his wrist, a storage Soul Tool.

"Boss, although you do not recognize this crystal's value, I cannot pretend not to know it. Justice and fairness are the pursuits of my life."

After saying that, Neuvillette took out a golden card and placed it on the table under Flender's astonished gaze. It was a savings card worth 10,000 Gold Soul Coins.

To those who had use for it, the Tabular Crystal was worth no less than 10,000 Gold Soul Coins. To those who did not, it was worth no more than one Gold Soul Coin.

Neuvillette had given him 10,000 Gold Soul Coins for the sake of a fair and equal transaction. He did not lack that amount of money, so there was no need for him to approach it with the mindset of picking up a bargain.

After putting down the Gold Soul Coin savings card, Neuvillette turned and left, leaving Flender standing there in a daze.

After nearly three seconds, Flender shot to his feet, crushing the recliner beneath him. He swiftly arrived at the table, picked up the golden savings card, and inspected it briefly before muttering, "Is this young master truly stupid, or just pretending to be stupid?"

"Is that lousy crystal really worth 10,000 Gold Soul Coins?"

The savings card in his hand was genuine. As a Soul Saint, Flender had that much discernment.

"He's not ordinary!"

"Fairness, justice..."

"Do fairness and justice truly exist on Douluo Continent?"

With a slap, Flender gave himself a Big Mouth. As someone who had lived through it all, he naturally knew that on Douluo Continent, the strong were revered and all talk of fairness and justice was false.

But how could he mock a young man pursuing the dream of fairness and justice?

He truly deserved to die!

"Sigh... I, Flender, am not even as clear-sighted as a child."

Flender shook his head and carefully put away the savings card. He did not know what was so special about that lousy crystal, but those 10,000 Gold Soul Coins were real.

"If I weren't so poor, why would I need to open a little shop and cheat people..."

Only after a long while did Flender come back to his senses. A glint of golden light flashed through his eyes as he made his decision.

This little shop could not remain open.

Neuvillette did not know that because of one sentence and 10,000 Gold Soul Coins, Flender had decided to close his shop and would no longer rely on it to swindle people.

Of course, Flender had another reason for closing the shop!

Could someone who could casually take out 10,000 Gold Soul Coins possibly have a simple background?

What if the other party realized that the lousy crystal was not worth 10,000 Gold Soul Coins and came looking for him...

At that thought, how could Flender not run?

It could only be said that Flender was overthinking it. It was merely 10,000 Gold Soul Coins; Lakesius would not come knocking over such a trivial amount.

After leaving Flender's little shop, Neuvillette looked around, feeling somewhat lost.

Over the years, Lakesius had protected him too well. Afraid that people from major powers would discover his talent, he had never dared let him travel too far alone.

Twin Martial Souls and Innate Full Soul Power of level twenty—such talent left Lakesius no choice but to take it seriously!

If even one of those talents were exposed, Neuvillette would very likely be hunted down by other major powers. Even the other seven of the Eight Great Families did not know Neuvillette's true talent.

That showed just how thorough Lakesius's secrecy had been!

As for why he had allowed Neuvillette to venture out alone, it was because he had seen Neuvillette's six soul rings turn into four...

Good heavens, soul rings could be "hidden" too.

Lakesius had not blamed Neuvillette for "concealing" it from him. Instead, he patted Neuvillette's shoulder approvingly and said that the child had grown up!

Being cautious was good. That was how one lived longer!

Lakesius had even lectured Neuvillette, saying that he should not have four soul rings right now, but three!

Hearing that, Neuvillette's mouth twitched. Sure enough, age brought wisdom!

Hadn't they said everyone's intelligence was below zero?

Why were all the people he met such schemers?

What Lakesius said was not wrong.

At twelve years old, even with Innate Full Soul Power, having three soul rings was already impressive. Four soul rings would make him far too much of a genius.

Those soul rings were like fake glass beads. He could have as many as he wanted.

Neuvillette's true Soul Power Level was currently around level sixty-three. Between the buff of a dragon growing stronger with age and his diligent cultivation, he had attained his current Soul Power Level.

"Hm?"

At that moment, Neuvillette frowned. Were people fighting nearby?

His perception was something even Lakesius, at the peak of Soul Douluo, could not match. Why?

Because the water molecules around him were constantly conveying "information" to him.

All things possessed emotions, and water was no exception.

As the apex life-form of the Water Element, Neuvillette could sense the emotions of all water elements.

"At this time, in that direction... could it be Tang San and Dai Mubai?"

Neuvillette murmured, then headed toward the Rose Hotel...
