The canvasser smiled even more broadly, annoying Alex the most.“Hehehe! Well, you know that you guys nearly cleaned up this place, so it will be quite expensive,” he said calmly, still smiling brightly.“So, how much are they?” Alex asked impatiently.“I actually gave you a fifty percent discount on all of them, to show my generosity. It's just two billion in total,” he said, raising his fingers to show the 'two' sign.Alex frowned in thoughts before nodding his head.“Two billion yuan? It's expensive, but still reasonable in consideration of the products we took,” he reasoned, signaling to Tajana to pay up.The canvasser shook his head and smiled.“Benefactor, I think you must have misunderstood me. It's not two billion yuan. It's two billion dollars,” the canvasser announced coldly, dropping the bombshell.Everyone immediately froze, mentally calculating the worth of their supposed purchase.“Excuse me?” Alex growled in a low voice, giving him an intimidating glare.“Oh? That look
The Buddhist canvasser frowned, staring at Luz steadily. He suddenly chuckled, distracting James, who was secretly trying to probe him without alerting Alex with his spiritual waves.“Oh that, he's not a demon. I probed him too. He only got his demonic aura a few minutes ago due to his greed,” the canvasser said, making pa James quickly turn to him.“Greed? What happened?” Pa James asked doubtfully, still stealing glances at Luz.“That boy was terribly spoiled, making him think he reserve the right to act as he pleases. When they came to my shop, alongside the others, he also refused to select weapons from the common area, making his father carry him along. However, he kept going for powerful demonic artifacts that looked fancy to him, despite his father warning him severally that being fancy doesn't make a weapon good, it's the compatibility with the user. However, he still sneaked out after all this warning and grabbed a dagger forged by Lucifer himself,” the canvasser explained, ma
Everyone in the store immediately felt the sudden change in temperature, making them follow the direction of the cold mist, only to see the super angry Alex.Si Feng felt the cold but quickly shook his head, telling himself that the cold didn't come from Alex. Yes, it must be one of the ice attribute treasures."Do you have a death wish, little boy? How dare you try to attack me when I'm busy doing something very important ?" Alex growled, angrily clutching Si Feng's throat.His guards immediately rushed Alex, only for Alex's guards to surround them, making them unable to get close to the duo."What's going on here? The treasures in that row are all very precious. Don't you fight there! How dare you act up in fortune pagoda?" Pa James roared, rushing towards them."I saw this treasure first. However, he began to throw his weight around, trying to steal it from me," Si Feng quickly said, making Pa James smile.He had been watching Alex attentively while trying to scan his powers, so he
Pa James almost burst into laughter as he watched what happening.Alex suddenly began to select fake artifacts and pills made on earth because he knew that Si Feng will definitely take it from him. However, the fool kept stalking him, while Alex basically helped him select the worst of the worst trash.“I thought I was wicked. However, this is a new one for me. This is the real wickedness. Luring him into paying sky-high prices for trash, and wasting his entrance fee. I wonder what his family appraisers will say when he returns with them,” the old man whispered, feeling amused at the trouble-seeking, idiotic man before him.Alex bit his lips, trying to hold back his laughter. He turned to Si Feng with a scowl.“Are you done yet? Or do I need to call the fortune pagoda's management to attention?” Alex asked, giving him a side eye.“You're free to call them. I don't really care. Whose fault is it that you always go for items I already had my eyes on?” Si Feng asked, looking at him with
The old man chuckled wickedly, caressing the point of sales machine he just used to receive payment from Alex, a few minutes ago.“Fortune pagoda's reputation can never be destroyed. Those fake artifacts are a test of the buyer's expertise. It's a thing of pride if you can distinguish the real from the fake, no matter how fancy the fake looks, or rusty the real looks. If they can't discern if the treasure they're going for is real or not, it means that they are idiots who did not deserve to handle such precious treasures. You should know the value of what you want, before going for it,” Pa James explained, making Alex roll his eyes at him.“It's just an excuse if you want to be sincere with yourself. Why not screen out the untalented ones at the entrance? But no, you can't do that because it won't benefit you. You usher them in with delusions of grandeur, just to encourage them to spend more money here. Or is it your stupid policies? You can't let people leave without paying the full
Alex immediately smiled at him, noticing how guarded he was.“How can I fight you? I know not to do such things with elders. I was already going away because I'm rushing to go elsewhere. Furthermore, I was merely trying to make you see reasons with me,” Alex said with a wide smile, trying to soothe the angry old man.“I can't see any reasons with you. That silk was not meant for sale, it's just to fill up the spaces. So, kindly give it back,” Pa James said, making Alex to chuckle heartily.“You didn't tell me at the initial stage that it wasn't meant for sale. I already marked it as mine, you can't take it away. This was not the agreement. You asked me to make sure that what I took was less than ten percent of the total goods, and I did just that. Taking even less than ten percent. Why then are you trying to renege on the agreement and cause a silly scene in here? I have already taken and marked it, sending it back will not be possible." Alex said authoritatively, pulling the cart aw
Alex stared steadily at the punctured vehicles and shook his head wryly.“Change the tires with the spare tires in the boot. I will fill it with air when you're done,” he whispered and turned around to enter the good sedan.“Why don't some of us follow you in the good vehicle, while the rest join us after repairing it? The jade market closes by 10p.m, it's already 7.20pm. We need to get there as soon as possible,” Tajana said anxiously, trying to stop Alex from going to relax in the car.“Daddy, I'm hungry,” Luz, who had been quiet all along, finally said, obviously unconcerned about the vehicle or any stupid jade they were talking about. His own concern was keeping his stomach happy and warm at all times.“You're already hungry? Okay, wait, let me look around for where to buy you food,” Alex quickly said, pulling Luz into his arms.“Boss!” Tajana called impatiently, obviously upset that Alex was not paying attention to him when he had something important to say, rather choosing to at
Alex frowned, quickly circulating his internal energy to protect his heart.“It's nothing, let's go. We don't have much time to waste,” he quickly said, pushing them away.“Dad, are you sure?” Luz asked, trying to hold him back.“I'm fine, let's go!” Alex quickly said, entering the car.“Wait, take this bag to those in the other car. I'm sure they're hungry too,” Alex said, giving Luz one of the paper bags.He quickly went to the sedan and offered it to Emrys, Shadow and Ikaris who were in the other car, before quickly rushing back to the SUV.He met Alex removing the shells of the eggs, before slashing them into two equal parts with his fruit knife.“That knife, Dad, I hope you have never used it to kill people. I don't want to eat particles of human flesh or blood,” Luz immediately rattled, making Tajana chuckle from the driver's seat.However, Alex wasn't finding it funny at all.“Are you an evil child? Why will you refer to your father as a murderer?” Alex asked unhappily, making
