They had indeed sold a Green Tree Snake's gallbladder. They had personally dissected the snake, so it was impossible for them to be wrong.

”Bullsh*t. You call this a Green Tree Snake's gallbladder? Do you think I'm blind? You sold me a rank one demonic beast, Red Patterned Snake's gallbladder instead of a fifth rank demonic beast, Green Tree Snake's gallbladder. Do you know what this kind of behavior is called? This is swindling! Do you know what kind of existence the Huatian Palace is? If I let the Huatian Palace know that you have swindled others, hehe, most likely even your little lives will not be enough to compensate.”

The burly man slammed the snake gallbladder down in front of Wang Qian and Su Wan'er with a fierce look. At the same time, his body faintly emanated an aura belonging to an Embryonic Breathing Realm ancient martial art practitioner. The aura was intended to threaten these two mere Regulated Breathing Realm young maidens.

”We truly have not swindled you...” Su Wan'er was on the verge of tears. Her tears rolled around in her eye sockets. The snake gallbladder was clearly not the one that they had sold prior to this. It had certainly been switched out for another. She did not understand why someone else would want to frame them in such a manner.

”This is not the snake gallbladder that we sold you. We will not admit to this accusation,” Wang Qian said as she clenched her teeth. They definitely could not admit to such a thing. Moreover, they had not sold fake goods at all.

”What's the matter? Are you denying it now?”

The burly man hideously and coldly laughed and said, ”Just now, when I bought the Green Tree Snake's gallbladder, many people saw me. There was also another person that wanted to buy it. They are all witnesses. Do you think that there is any use in denying it? Enough talk. According to the rules, one fake will be compensated tenfold. I spent fifty Dragon Coins on this Green Tree Snake's gallbladder. If you are sensible, you will compensate me with five hundred Dragon Coins. Otherwise, you'd believe that I can kill you both with just one hand!”

”That's right. Just now, I indeed saw you sell him this Green Tree Snake's gallbladder, and I saw you place it in this jade box.”

”That's right, this is the snake gallbladder. I also wanted to buy it. Fortunately, this gentleman here bought it at a high price. If not, I would have been swindled instead.”

”Young maidens, you had better compensate this man. Since you have committed such an act, you naturally have to pay the price. Otherwise, this incident won't end well.”

From within the crowd, a few sinister voices sounded. They caused the two maidens, whose hearts were originally on the verge of breaking down, to immediately break down. Even Wang Qian, who was trying to act strong, could not hold back her tears.

The voices of the crowd were all in support of the burly man. This caused her to feel that everyone agreed with the burly man's words and that the crowd did not believe the two of them.

Compensating ten times the amount would mean compensating five hundred Dragon Coins. Even if they sold themselves off, they could not amass so much money.

In Dragon City, one spiritual stone was equivalent to a hundred Dragon Coins. The value of a Dragon Coin was very high. Normally, a few Dragon Coins could buy more inferior demonic beast materials. The Green Tree Snake was a fifth rank demonic beast and its gallbladder was the most precious part of its body. By eating one, an ancient martial art practitioner could enhance their physique, strengthen their body and also greatly improve their body's resistance to poison. They could basically ignore ordinary poisons.

Such an amazing item was sold for a mere fifty Dragon Coins. Five hundred Dragon Coins was an astronomical price.

The surrounding onlookers were here just to join in the fun. Aside from a few people, the rest mostly just watched and did not say anything.

In reality, a few sharp-eyed individuals could tell that this burly man was blackmailing these two young maidens. The difference between a Green Tree Snake's gallbladder and a Red Patterned Snake's gallbladder was so big. Yet alone testing its various traits, even just looking at its appearance, one could differentiate between the two.

The burly man could only have mistaken the Red Patterned Snake's gallbladder for the Green Tree Snake's gallbladder if he was blind. Under normal circumstances, it would be impossible for even a fool to be tricked in such a situation.

Clearly, he was intentionally blackmailing the two young maidens. The few people who spoke up were most likely the burly man's accomplices.

Although many people saw through the trickery at play, no one spoke up for the two maidens. They were all just here to enjoy the fun. They would let things slide if it did not affect them. This kind of attitude was very commonplace in the martial arts circle. After all, in the martial arts circle, a small grudge could cause swords to be drawn. If there was no need to do so, no one wanted to simply make enemies of others. Moreover, the person was a rogue. They were even more unwilling to offend him.

”Please believe us. We truly have not cheated anyone. He did indeed buy a Green Tree Snake's gallbladder, but the one he brought back isn't it.”

Wang Qian looked around in panic. In such a situation, she wanted to get the help of others. At least if someone agreed with her, she could calm down slightly.

However, what disappointed her was that no one came out to vouch for them. Instead, some of the people around insisted that they had committed fraud.

”Humph, even now you are still stubborn. Quickly compensate me. If you keep going on about it, don't blame me for being rude,” the burly man said with a fierce look on his face. The aura on his body pressed down undisguised on the two young maidens.

He saw that the two young maidens had materials from the Green Tree Snake as well as materials from a few high ranking demonic beasts. Due to this, he firmly believed that they would certainly have a lot of Dragon Coins on them. Also, these two young maidens were only Regulated Breathing Realm ancient martial art practitioners and did not have any seniors around them. Hence, he came up with the idea to blackmail them.

”Rude? I dare you to try to be rude to them.” A voice suddenly came from the crowd.
