Sorry, Someone Bid Higher

"I offer one hundred thousand! Please, young brother, help me!"

Just as Yang Chen was preparing to leave, a woman's shrill scream rang out.

Yang Chen's foot, which had been about to step out, froze in mid-air. He turned around, looking at the woman, a bright light emerging in his eyes.

"Really!"

The leader's brow furrowed tightly, and he said in a deep voice.

"Young brother, I already gave you ten thousand earlier!"

Yang Chen waved his hand, then said dismissively.

"That was compensation you gave me; this is different! By the way, miss, if you can really give me one hundred thousand, I'll resolve this matter for you!"

A glow radiated from Yang Chen's eyes; he had an obsessive fixation on money.

After all, he had been so short on cash before that even a few dollars would make his heart ache for a long time. But this female boss was offering one hundred thousand right off the bat, which made it hard for Yang Chen to refuse!

As for the money those people had given him?

Didn't they say it was compensation? That didn't count as taking money to do a job!

The leader's expression turned gloomy instantly, but he didn't make a move. He knew that ability users were not to be trifled with; even the weakest among them could take down several of his men!

Moreover, looking at Yang Chen's demeanor, he didn't seem like a weak ability user at all!

If his group really started a fight, they might end up buried here, or at the very least, find it difficult to walk away.

Even if Yang Chen killed them, there wouldn't be much trouble for him.

After all, they were just ordinary people with slightly better physiques, and the status of ability users in this world was far superior to that of ordinary people.

Therefore, he could only hope that this female boss couldn't come up with the one hundred thousand, or that Yang Chen wouldn't take the job.

From among the burly men, a woman with a somewhat frail physique slowly stepped out. Her lips were bright red, and a faint sorrow swirled within her eyes.

She gave the impression of a delicate woman.

Yet, within that fragility, there seemed to be a trace of determination.

Clearly, this woman was someone independent!

The woman pursed her lips, then bit down on her crimson lower lip, saying with some difficulty.

"My shop is worth several hundred thousand. If you can resolve my trouble, young brother, I am willing to give you half the shares of this shop!"

Yang Chen immediately lost interest and waved his hand, looking bored.

"Forget it. If it's not cash, I'm not interested!"

As soon as these words were spoken, a gleam of spirit erupted in the leader's eyes.

Clearly, this woman's bargaining chip wasn't enough to make this ability user step in!

Heh, did she think an ability user could be hired for such a pittance? The one behind him was only a C-grade ability user, yet the cost to hire him was over a million, if not more.

And as far as he knew, this female boss couldn't possibly pull out a million!

The light in the woman's pupils seemed to vanish, and her entire body began to tremble slightly.

Yang Chen was her last straw, but clearly, her chips were insufficient!

"Young brother, I have a few tens of thousands in cash here that I can give you first. As for the rest, how about I transfer it to your card tomorrow?"

The woman leaned gently against a chair. When she said this, it was as if she had exhausted all her strength. If Yang Chen still didn't agree, she would have no other options.

Her shop would simply be forcibly taken away by them!

Just as the woman was falling into despair, a voice suddenly rang out in her ears.

"Deal!"

Yang Chen revealed his snow-white teeth, wearing an innocent, harmless smile.

Getting a few tens of thousands was good; all things considered, his net worth would be close to one hundred thousand. Once he gave her his card number, his wealth would likely break the one hundred thousand mark.

Such a sum of money would have been impossible in the past—something he could only dream about!

"Young brother, you'd better think this through. Our Young Master Wang is a C-grade ability user from Number 98!"

The leader looked at Yang Chen with a gloomy expression.

He truly couldn't understand how a mere few tens of thousands had managed to hire Yang Chen.

Wasn't this a bit too cheap?

Unfortunately, he hadn't lived Yang Chen's life and had no idea how obsessed a small-timer could be with money!

"Sorry, someone offered a higher price."

Yang Chen's expression gradually turned cold.

"Are you going to leave on your own, or do you want me to invite you out?"

Since he had taken the money, he had to play the part well, or he'd get a bad review!

A trace of anger flashed in the leader's eyes, but he quickly suppressed it and did not lash out.

He was still clear-headed enough, otherwise he would have attacked right then and there.

Of course, there would only be one outcome to attacking directly: being ruthlessly pinned to the ground and rubbed into the dirt by Yang Chen!

"I hope you can withstand the wrath of our Young Master Wang! Let's go!"

The leader cast a gloomy glance at Yang Chen before leading the group of burly men out of the shop.

Only then did the female boss let out a sigh of relief. She collapsed into her chair, covering her face and bursting into tears.

Watching the female boss in this state, Yang Chen didn't know what to do for a moment. He just walked up to her sheepishly and scratched his head.

"Uh, pay up!"

Hearing Yang Chen's words, the female boss seemed to forget to cry for a moment. She looked up at him, her eyes filled with deep suspicion.

Was he even human? She was crying, and he was still asking for money so directly? Was this something a person would do?

Yang Chen felt a bit awkward under the female boss's gaze and scratched his head, not knowing what to say.

After a while, the female boss said gloomily.

"They won't let this go. In a little while, they'll likely send ability users."

Yang Chen understood. So, she was just afraid of further trouble. Was it really worth crying over? Tsk tsk, what a heart!

Yang Chen patted his chest and said.

"Let them come. I want to see who else in Number 98 dares to lay a hand on me!"

Yang Chen really wanted to know, since he had just defeated Wild Wolf in front of so many ability users in Number 98, which other blind fool would want to challenge him!

The female boss looked at Yang Chen and then said.

"If you can truly resolve this, I will hand over those tens of thousands in cash to you."

"Deal!"
