“Three low-grade feather coins!”“I can take it for four.”“Seven.”“Nine.”“Nine! Is there anyone else who can bid higher? Okay, one…two…gone!”The auction lasted for about an hour and went very well. Michael and his men sold all the animals and the people who participated in it were all excited, for they thought they had picked up some bargains by chance.Michael and his men were also excited because the animals they had sold provided them with a total of over three hundred low-grade feather coins.Overjoyed, Michael and Old Peter decided to give half of them to Tolly.“Here you go! Thank you for your gift. We’re honored to have had this great opportunity to do the job for you.” the old man said to Tolly gladly.“You’re welcome.”Tolly was happy, too. However, he didn’t take half of the money. He added,“I should thank YOU. I really appreciate your help. Without your help, I would have never been able to sell all of these animals in such a short time.”“Whatever you say, but we’ve b
It was not long before they strode back on the narrow path that could only allow one person to go past at one time. After stepping on that steep flight of stairs, they went through the special door in the wall and arrived at the dark dead-end alley. Tolly, Michael, and Old Peter did not talk much during the journey, as they didn’t want to be noticed by others. In fact, the black market was not as secretive as one might think. The authorities had simply turned a blind eye to it and acquiesced in its existence. The alley was not very long. Five minutes later, they were back on the bustling Bridge Street. However, it was much busier than usual. They saw numerous people rushing in one direction for something exciting. “What’s going on?” Tolly asked curiously. Frowned, Old Peter and Michael shook their heads, indicating that they had no idea what had happened. Old Peter immediately stopped a tall man who was walking briskly and asked, “Hey, dude, what’s the rush? Can you tell us wha
Before anyone else could react, the kite rider launched a large fireball at Fanta Lord.Fortunately, the iron wall that had been transformed from Tolly’s Stone Turtle Shield blocked that attack once again. The fireball went straight at the wall and made an explosion. However, it hurt no one.‘Hew…” Tolly heaved a relieving sigh and thought, “It’s not my business. I should not have got myself involved. It’s too dangerous. But it also shows that I’ve got the potential to be a hero.”“Holy shit!! Who’s courting death? I want to tear you apart, bastard!! How dare you ruin my plan??” the kite rider roared on his bird-like kite.“The bastard is cursing who??!” Tolly spat back with a sneer on his face.He hid behind the iron wall so that the kite rider could not even see his face, much less his sneer.“The bastard is cursing you!!” the kite rider replied subconsciously.“Ha-ha… you’re right. You are the bastard that is cursing me!!” Tolly said in amusement. His lips curved into a mocking smi
“Ha-ha! Mr. George Lange, I’m just kidding! Don’t be afraid!” Tolly laughed, shining his eight white teeth, “I’m not a zombie!”George immediately turned back and found it was true. He fumed with indignation,“What the hell are you doing? Are you nuts? You’re scaring me to death!! My father used to play such a game when I was a little boy. You’re reminding me of that horrible memory!”“Don’t be mad with me! See, I’m coming to pay the loan back.” Tolly grinned.With that, he swiftly took out fifty-two low-grade feather coins from his pocket and stacked them on the counter.Seeing those coins, George quickly put on a big pleasing smile on his face, saying,“Great! it never occurred to me that you would come back alive. I thought my investment would go down the drain. You’re my little hero now!!”George’s helper, the old ugly man Sam, was also surprised that he was able to see Tolly again. While counting the coins on the counter, he said smilingly,“Since the first time I saw you, I’ve k
Tolly jumped on his Sound Sword without any hesitation.And the sword under his feet carried him to fly in the shop. In a split second, Tolly was taken from one side of the shop to the other before he knew it.‘It’s fantastic! It surely is as fast as sound.’ Tolly thought, ‘it’s exactly the vehicle I want for traveling. I don’t need to torture my two faithful dogs anymore.’With that, lowering his head and having a look at his own two feet, he whispered to them happily,“Thank you for the great efforts you’ve made. You’ve earned your plaudits. I guess in the future you two will have holidays often.”With that, he had already circled the little shop a few dozen times on the Sound Sword in a second. He was moving so fast by riding on it that the others could not even be able to see him clearly. What they could see was a blurring figure moving like a dazzling silver shadow. However, it also made George and Sam tremble with fear. It looked as if the silver shadow would bump into the she
Tolly turned around and what came into his sight was a muscular guy with a scar on his face, flanked by several young men. All of them had tattoos of a dragon on their arms.Tolly recognized the guy immediately, who was the scar-faced man who had tried to collect protection money at his hovel. They were all working for the Golden Dragon Gang. They had been following him ever since he left the George Lange’s.The scar-faced man cracked his fingers, saying maliciously,“Hey, boy! I’ve heard you made a fortune on the black market. Well, it’s time to pay for your protection money. I think you know who we are.”Apparently, the scar-faced man had already forgotten who the boy before him was, for he probably had to collect protection money almost everywhere. It was a load of work to do.“I know who you are, of course! You’re the guy who comes from the Golden Dragon Gang. I guess you don’t know who I am.” Tolly said calmly, cracking his own fingers, too.Tolly was ready to fight at any minute
“Okay. As for the second option, you crawl!” the scar-faced man said while spreading his feet as wide as his shoulders. “Crawl?” Tolly said ironically, laughing, “Surely as a dog, you’re crawling all the time.” “Crawl through under my crotch.” The scar-faced man said, trying to insult Tolly in such a way. “Are you deaf or something? Read my lips!” Tolly sneered, pointing to his own mouth and not listening to him, “I’ve said you are crawling like a dirty dog all the time. Do you hear me?” Tolly suddenly felt like he had become more eloquent than before. Was it the benefit from the Golden Throat Pills he had taken? It was unbelievable. “You…go to hell, you little punk!” The scar-faced man prepared to lunge at Tolly—the short, thin but handsome boy before him. Tolly instinctively took a few steps backward. At the same time, he put out his hand to signal him to stop again. However, the scar-faced didn’t stop. Instead, he pressed his hands together and a ball of white light was gathe
Chapter 31 Dragon-like Body “Do you know why I make you lick Howard’s shoes instead of mine?” Tolly asked with a sneer. The scar-faced man didn’t respond, but Larry and Albert asked in unison, all their eyes turned into signs of big question marks. “Why??” “Well, your big brother or whatever, has got a smelly mouth, so it is surely going to contaminate my shoes. Even my shoes have a better smell than his mouth.” Andy’s men wanted to laugh, but they did not dare to do so. They had to contain themselves, or Andy’s Thousand Chance Beat might be on them first. “As for letting you crawl through under Howard’s crotch, I’m sure you are not going to give him a Tiger Grip, are you?” Another fit of raucous laughter burst out. Andy was so furious that he felt a bit dizzy, all his hair standing up on end. He looked like a hedgehog ready to sting anyone at any minute. “Is it true that the little guy before him had some sort of secret weapon?” Andy wondered. “Don’t be taken in, my big brot
