171 Desperate (1/2)
”Pardon?” Zang Hueru could not believe what she heard. She did not expect that her generous offer would be turned down just like that. It was like the answer was already prepared beforehand.
”I said, we refuse.” Jin Rou calmly said with a smile, ”We want to watch the Showdown of the Beasts too so we can't sell this to you.”
Truth be told, the main reason he declined was he knew that Zin Shi wanted to go there badly as if it was her dream. And a part of him was curious what kind of event was that. As someone adventuring outside, this was a great opportunity for him.
”You can still watch the Showdown of the Beasts even without the golden card!” Zang Hueru said, ”How about this? I have four entry tickets here that would able the two of you to watch the show. Though the tickets could not be compared to the seat that will be given by the golden card, these are still expensive worth 15,000 rubies per ticket. I will give you all the four I have, so if you have other friends, you can invite them to watch it.”
She paused for a moment and said to Zin Shi, ”How about it, Young Miss?”
The people around could not help but suck a mouthful of air. They even forget to shop their desired items as they were already too focus on the scene happening. Anyone out there would be more than willing to give the golden card to Zang Hueru after she offered those huge offers. After all, the golden card could be a double-edged sword. If someone did not have the power to protect this card, then they better just sell it to someone who can. This is the Golden Card we're talking!
Just when the crowd expected that Jin Rou would be able to accept it, Jin Rou broke all their anticipation and said, ”We still refuse.”
”This Youngmaster here...” Zang Hueru knitted her brows and said, ”I am talking to this Young Miss, who possessed the golden card. May I ask if you have a say here?”
”He has a say here.” Zin Shi did not like the sarcastic tone of Zang Hueru, ”This golden card came from him and he personally owns it. So he has a say here.”
”So that's the case.” Zang Hueru returned her smile in her face professionally as if she did not knit her brows in displeasure, ”If the offers I laid down are yet to satisfy this Youngmaster, I am more than willing to negotiate with you and compromise. As long as it is within my reach and not my bottom line, then I won't mind.”
”I'm sorry but what I said is final. The golden card is ours.” Jin Rou turned his back and said, ”Zin Shi, let's go.”
Zin Shi nodded and followed.
However, when they were about to reach the door, a barrier was activated, locking everyone inside the shop. Zang Hueru assured everyone, ”Fret not, everyone. I only activated the barrier because I have no other choice. I need the golden card, I need it so bad.”
”But shouldn't you at least let us go outside and leave them here? I mean, every one of us, even you, are locked down here.” The yellow-haired youngmaster said with a carefree manner as if this was not a big deal at all, ”But oh well, since you have already locked the place, then just do your business. We still have a pending business, you know.”
