Hua Qiang Gets Robbed

"Young man, keep playing. I don't have time to waste on your nonsense. These things are beyond your means!"

Hua Qiang was struck dumb, his body trembling in disarray. This wasn't just being looked down upon, it was being completely despised!

Do I just look like I'm poor?

Does his face scream "poor"?

They look down on people like that, they didn't even offer a price, they just sentenced him to death.

Is this how business is conducted?

What are the basic ethical principles for doing business?

He is a consumer, a customer, a god, and his bread and butter!

How can you talk to your father like that? I want to punch him!

"Boss, you didn't even name a price, yet you know I can't afford it. You're really looking down on me."

Tell me, how much do you want for these broken stones?

"If I'm in a good mood, I'll just pack up all your goods and take them away!"

The man at the street stall immediately sat down, a sheepish smile on his face.

"Young man, I'm sorry, I was in a bad mood just now and my words were a little harsh. Please don't take it to heart!"

"Uncle, the goods on my stall start at ten Spirit Stones, and the more expensive ones are worth one or two thousand. I don't know which one you're interested in, or if you buy them all, I'll give you a 20% discount!"

Well, looks like this guy has a knack for business. He's even mastered the Hyundai art of discounting without any formal training.

"Master, there are some good things in this pile of stones. I'll share them with you now. Buy them all, and your Thunderclap Blade can be upgraded."

"Oh, really?"

Hua Qiang's heart stirred when he heard the consciousness emanating from the Creation Divine Cauldron in his mind.

He brought this Thunderclap Blade from the Lower Realm, and he's so used to wielding it that he's developed a deep affection for it.

So much so that his current level is still low. If he could upgrade and improve the quality, his destructive power would also increase significantly.

Soon, he received the information transmitted by the Creation Divine Cauldron in his mind, and his gaze locked onto the pile of stones, which contained almost nothing but treasure.

Then he started working, casually scribbling a large pile, taking up about three-tenths of the pile of stones.

Of course, this was intentional on his part.

If the target is too precise, it will alert the street vendor.

"Okay, that's all for now. How much will it cost?"

As for discounts or not, it doesn't matter. I don't need those few coins.

Seeing how generous Hua Qiang was, and how he was buying almost blindly, the middle-aged man couldn't help but feel secretly pleased.

It seems they've picked a greenhorn; this guy is just throwing money away, buying things recklessly. An average family couldn't afford to raise him.

It seems that appearances can be deceiving. Sometimes you really have to control your temper, lest you offend a customer and lose business, which would be a real shame.

This batch of goods naturally included that rather special, ugly-looking stone that Hua Qiang had a vague feeling about.

"These total... about 20,000 Spirit Stone!"

Hua Qiang didn't waste any words and paid the money directly. Then he was preparing to pack up the stones and take them away.

A voice came from behind.

"Wait, kid, put it down! You've already shortchanged us on those goods!"

Hua Qiang frowned, turned his head and saw a young master with an exaggerated appearance, pale face and unsteady steps, walking over surrounded by several guards.

Damn it, I've stumbled upon some ridiculous plot twist. Someone's trying to argue with me, flaunt their wealth, and snatch the item I wanted.

I've already paid.

Upon seeing the newcomer, the middle-aged man immediately stood up and said with a hint of helplessness, "Greetings, Young Master Wang!"

"Alright, enough nagging. I'm in a good mood today, and I find you rather pleasing to the eye, so this one's mine!"

Then, with a wave of his hand, a group of guards surged forward, ready to seize all the stones that Hua Qiang had just bought.

Hua Qiang's face immediately darkened. Damn it, it's true what they say, "The tree may wish to be still, but the wind will not cease!"

I don't want to cause trouble, but trouble always seems to find me.

"Hey, who are you? I just bought all of these, and I've already paid for them!"

Whether you pay or not has nothing to do with you!

Kid, let me tell you, no one has ever dared to disobey Young Master's orders!

"If you know what's good for you, get out of here!"

"Yes! If you know what's good for you, get out of here!"

Otherwise, if our young master gets angry, you'll regret it!

A group of guards and lackeys surrounding him also started shouting.

"Oh, by the way, Old Man Sun, how much did he pay you just now?"

"Young Master Wang, it's twenty thousand."

"Twenty thousand?"

Young Master Wang surprised. He looked at Hua Qiang again, and then his mouth pursed so much it seemed to reach the back of his head.

"Dressed so poorly, yet still able to produce so much money, I'm starting to suspect that the money came from an illegitimate source."

"Fine, I won't hold it against you. But you just made me unhappy, so here's 200. Get lost!"

Immediately, a man who looked like a manager threw 200 Spirit Stone at Hua Qiang's feet.

The middle-aged man's lips twitched slightly, thinking to himself: Just as I thought, this young man is really unlucky.

"Kid, our young master is very generous today and is giving you 200. If it were someone from another Lineage, they would not only beat you up, but they wouldn't give you a single penny."

Pick up these Spirit Stones and get out of here!

Hahaha!

The group of lackeys following this Young Master Wang burst into laughter.

That kind of arrogance was as outrageous as it could possibly be.

Hua Qiang was truly enraged. If it weren't for the fact that it was broad daylight and in full view of everyone, he would have definitely killed these people.

However, he was suppressing the urge to take action, because if he killed these people, many more problems would surely arise later.

It also makes it easy to expose oneself.

"Are you trying to rob me?"

"Bullshit! You're asking for money, do you know?"

Purchase!"

"Yes, our young master bought it with money."

Kid, if you don't want to suffer, don't talk nonsense and obediently hand over the stuff.

Otherwise, we won't be so polite later!

The wicked slaves began to shout and yell in unison.

"Well!"

The middle-aged man hesitated for a moment, sighed, and then whispered in his ear, "Young man, forget it, just accept your fate!"

We can't afford to offend this Young Master Wang; he's from the Wang Lineage family, one of the three major Lineage in this Desolate City.

We can't protect what they've set their sights on; otherwise, the consequences will be severe!

Listen to your uncle's advice: patience brings peace, otherwise...

He really didn't know how to continue, but Hua Qiang didn't want to accept this outcome.

Anyone who dares to bully him is asking for trouble!

With a wave of his hand, he pocketed all the stones, then looked at the group of people and said in a calm voice, "These goods are mine, and I can't give them to you."

"You think you can take my 20,000 worth of goods with a mere 200 Spirit Stone? Who gave you the nerve?"

"Holy crap! How dare he talk to Young Master like that?! Men, beat him up!"
