The owner said timidly to them, "I... I paid last week, didn't I?"

One of the three men asked another, "Did you receive it?"

"Reporting to you, Big Brother, we didn't receive it," one of them said.

The man they called Big Brother then asked the other one, "Did you receive it?"

His answer was the same. "Reporting to you, Big Brother, we didn't receive it!"

Although Luo Tian heard what they said, he was not someone overflowing with a sense of justice. Besides, why should he save someone who had nothing to do with him?

When Lu Han saw this, he bit down harder and harder as he ate his barbecue.

Xi Yan, meanwhile, felt nothing about their conversation.

Of course, that was only because the three men had not touched Luo Tian's interests.

At that moment, the owner said weakly, "I... I... have no money left."

"Hah? Look at all these people eating here. Why not just ask them for money?!" said the man they called Big Brother.

The owner said again, "So many people come here not because I'm bragging, but because my food is tasty and cheap."

The man called Big Brother said, "If it tastes so good, why should it be cheap? Charge everyone who ate here ten times the original price!"

Luo Tian was starting to get annoyed. They were merely one Soul Emperor and two Soul Kings.

The owner looked troubled, and Luo Tian said, "Owner, I'd like to pay the bill!"

The owner still looked troubled, but one of the Soul Kings walked toward Luo Tian. When he reached their table, he said, "For everything your table ate, thirty gold coins."

Luo Tian was somewhat surprised. Why was it so cheap? It was clearly ten times the price.

But everyone else who heard him thought it was extremely expensive.

Luo Tian thought it over from every angle. Wasn't Douluo Continent's currency only Soul Coins?

Xi Yan said, "This is robbery! Thirty Soul Coins is enough living money for an ordinary family without a Soul Master to save up over three years without eating or drinking!"

Luo Tian and Lu Han asked in confusion, "Is thirty Soul Coins expensive?"

When Luo Tian said that, everyone else turned to look at him.

Luo Tian quickly changed his wording. "We don't use currency where we come from, so we don't know the specific currency denominations."

Lu Han said, "I often saw Father casually tossing Soul Coins all over the house. You could even find Soul Coins in the trash."

At that moment, everyone at the stall was shocked. This tiny stall had actually encountered two rich young masters.

But after hearing Lu Han's words, Xi Yan became somewhat unhappy with him again, because Lu Han was clearly rich yet had no manners.

Xi Yan explained Douluo Continent's currency to Lu Han. "The currency of Douluo Continent is divided into copper coins, silver coins, gold coins, and Soul Coins. Ten copper coins equal one silver coin, and so on up to gold coins. One thousand gold coins equal one Soul Coin."

Luo Tian was secretly shocked. The difference in value between Douluo Continent's currencies was actually so enormous!

Xi Yan continued, "Soul Coins are so expensive because you can absorb the Soul Power inside them to become stronger. As for copper, silver, and gold, as long as you have strength, you can basically obtain thousands of them!"

Through Xi Yan, Luo Tian also learned that the price they were demanding was astronomical. Even if the owner sold the entire stall, he still could not possibly gather enough.

Now that Luo Tian knew they were demanding an astronomical price, killing intent rose in his heart!
