28 I Will Pay (1/2)
”You are complaining?” Old Mo looked displeased as he added, ”Then my young master will close your veins again.”
”That's impossible.” The prince denied, ”Once the vein was opened, it was impossible to close it.”
Everyone agreed to this. What Old Mo said was purely ridiculous! No one in their right mind would think that a vein opened could actually be closed again!
Hearing the claim that it was impossible, Jin Rou said and denied this, ”I can close your veins again. In fact, I can close all of them if you wanted a proof.”
Hearing this, the prince immediately paled. It seemed this was really possible! Although this was way too ridiculous in a sense, there was still a fact that the mysterious young man claimed it was possible! What's worse, he would be the guinea pig to prove it!
This claim from the young man brought a heavy sense that they could not explain. As if, if he said it was possible, then it was definitely possible! Everyone gulped a mouthful of their saliva and didn't dare to refute this claim.
”No.. No need.” the prince immediately shook his head. Of course, he didn't want to be a guinea pig for just making a proof of claim! His heart was bleeding as he said, ”Okay. I will pay the three million and a hundred thousand diamonds.”
He added, ”But I cannot give that kind of amount today. I can only settle the bill in my empire.”
The crowd was stupefied by this. He really accepted the conditions of amount! However, they realized that they were talking about the crowned prince of the Gu Empire! By his standing, taking out that kind of amount was not a big deal!
”What do you mean?” Old Mo frowned, ”You want us to accompany you to your empire to settle the bill? What if you are plotting against my young master? You think I will let it go and spare your empire?!”
Old Mo said in a threatening voice! However, the crowd didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
Although they knew that it was Old Mo of the master chef guild, they also heard the recent happening. The master chef guild claimed that Old Mo betrayed the guild and went with someone who could benefit him greatly. Of course, those who really knew the actual fact denied this in their hearts. But those who don't know the fact, they were amazed because following someone from a high empire would really benefit him greatly! No wonder he chose the young man instead of the guild. This was not selfishness, this was practicality!
The prince's lips twitched involuntarily.
You are only a Nascent Realm cultivator and you dare threaten me and my empire?! If not for you being a butler of that young master, I would have already turned you into a meatpaste!
He suppressed his anger and said in a low tone, ”Senior Mo could rest assured that I will never renege and completely settle the bill in my empire. I bet my name as the crowned prince on the line. ”
Seeing this grave promise that his name was on the line, everyone sucked a mouthful of air. This was the crowned prince for you!
Of course, Old Mo knew that what the prince did carried a very heavy meaning to it. He nooded in approval and looked at his young master. He was asking for approval about this. After all, he was only a Butler and the decisions were to be decided by his young master.
Jin Rou only smiled in response. But Old Mo already knew what he meant! Old Mo then looked back to the prince and said, ”Okay. Then we will carry trust your words for once.”
Everyone who saw this felt their worlds spinning! To act this way in front of a crowned prince of a high-tier empire and demand a three million diamonds and was politely agreed with? This was meant that he had a powerful backing! And of course, they already k2ne who it was.
The prince smiled mischievously. It was like he was delighted by this! This caught Jin Rou's attention and looked through the prince's mind. However, seeing what was on his mind, Jin Rou could not help but be puzzled. And thus, he disregarded the thought and just smiled.
