857 Caught Red-handed (1/2)
Su Wan'er and Wang Qian felt completely isolated and were so anxious that they were in tears. Suddenly, a voice came from the crowd. and a youth appeared.
The surrounding people frantically looked towards the youth with expressions of surprise. There was actually a person that dared to stick his nose into this matter and stand up for the two young maidens!
After being in Dragon City for a while, most people would rather not interfere with the business of others. It was because, in such a place, one would never know when they would offend someone they could not afford to offend.
”Who are you?”
The fierce-looking burly man's expression turned cold. He looked at the youth with an unfriendly gaze. A callow brat actually dared to interfere in his business?
The youth was none other than Mo Wen.
At the same time, a few people quietly emerged from the crowd and slowly surrounded Mo Wen. These people were all the ones that had spoken and ridiculed Su Wan'er and Wang Qian before this. Without a doubt, these people were all in this together.
”Brat, you should know what's good for you. Don't refuse a toast only to drink a forfeit,” the fierce-looking burly man threatened as he coldly looked at Mo Wen. He hoped that he could use this aggressive manner to scare Mo Wen away. It was precisely because he saw the two maidens were naïve that he had decided to blackmail them. If this matter actually got stirred up, the Huatian Palace Executors would be alerted. That was not what he wanted to see.
The few people who had surrounded Mo Wen also wore threatening looks and faintly released their auras. Their cultivations were not low. Two of them were even at the Embryonic Breathing Realm. As expected, strong practitioners could be found anywhere in Dragon City.
”Big Brother Mo!”
”Mo Wen!”
Su Wan'er and Wang Qian's eyes opened wide simultaneously. They looked at the youth in surprise. It was Mo Wen, who had left without bidding them farewell not too long ago. Never in their wildest dreams had they imagined that they would meet him here at such a time.
”Tang Zhizhi, how does the Huatian Palace usually punish such deceitful behavior?” Mo Wen said. He smiled at Su Wan'er and Wang Qian and then turned and looked at Tang Zhizhi. Although the Free Trade Market had no rules and anyone could trade freely, this was still a Trade Market established by the Huatian Palace. It was not a black market. There were some fundamental principles that no one could violate. Such bullish and deceitful behavior would certainly be severely punished.
”If there is concrete evidence, they will be banished from Dragon City. At the same time, they will face a huge fine,” Tang Zhizhi said. The Huatian Palace's fine would bankrupt even a Golden Elixir Realm ancient martial art practitioner, let alone an Embryonic Breathing Realm ancient martial art practitioner. If the circumstances were severe, even a Martial Arts Grandmaster could not withstand such a fine.
Hence, very few people dared to cause trouble in Dragon City. Of course, there were all sorts of people in Dragon City that came from all sorts of places. It was not strange for there to be a few people who liked to take risks and ignored the rules.
”Are you certain that what you bought was not a Green Tree Snake's gallbladder but this Red Patterned Snake's gallbladder?” Mo Wen looked at the burly man again, with a somewhat cold gaze.
”What do you mean, brat? The truth is right before your eyes. She clearly sold me a Red Patterned Snake's gallbladder, but she pretended that it was that of a Green Tree Snake and swindled me. Could it be that you want to stand facts on their heads and accuse me of trying to swindle them?”
Since it had come to this, the fierce-looking burly man could not possibly change his story now. He kept insisting that he had bought a Red Patterned Snake's gallbladder for the price of a Green Tree Snake's gallbladder.
”Is that so?”
Mo Wen smiled coldly and suddenly extended his hand. The fierce-looking burly man could not resist at all and was directly caught in Mo Wen's grasp. The people that surrounded Mo Wen also retreated back seven to eight steps in an instant. A formless power enveloped them, making it difficult for them to even move.
”What are you going to do?”
The fierce-looking burly man's expression changed drastically. He could not help but cry out in surprise. He had not imagined that he would be caught by the youth before he could even react. He struggled with all his might, but it was of no use. It was as though he had been grabbed by a hand the size of a mountain.
His accomplices looked at Mo Wen with fearful gazes. Their impression of his power was even deeper than that of the fierce-looking burly man. Mo Wen had actually suppressed them with only his aura until they could not move. What cultivation did this person have exactly? It was too frightening.
Tang Zhizhi was also shocked. This employer of hers seemed to be quite capable. No wonder he acted so heroically, also daring to accept the challenge of the foreign woman. As expected, he was not an ordinary person.
”What am I going to do? Of course, I am looking for evidence on you.”
Mo Wen simply reached into the fierce-looking burly man's pockets. Mo Wen seemed to have already known where the items were placed, immediately retrieving them from the man's pockets. He removed a wooden box. When Mo Wen opened the box, a rustic scent immediately filled the air. There was a snake gallbladder stored inside. From its appearance, it was the Green Tree Snake's gallbladder.
”What would you say this is?” Mo Wen smiled coldly as he held the snake gallbladder right in front of the fierce-looking burly man's face. It was impossible for the burly man to hide anything from Mo Wen.
