206 City Master (1/2)
”What?”
Yu Jian was only a young boy; this was the first time he had experienced the dark side of society.
These cunning businessman cheated them of their goods and even wanted to send them to jail!
”Foreigners, how dare all of you. It seems that there will be quite a few new additions to the cells!”
The leader of the patrolling guards exclaimed.
In his heart, he was thinking. 'Rock Village has no strong backing. Even if we kill them, no one would stand up for them...'
There was no doubt which side justice would favour.
”Sir, we are willing to give up our good. Please let us go!”
Li Hu was pale. He had no more intention to go against them and started to plead.
”Hehe... This is the consequence of getting on my nerves!”
The cunning businessman was laughing at one side. ”All of you... go and reflect on your actions in the quarry! Guards, please!”
”Hold up!”
Zhang Kongfan, who was now a messenger, appeared.
”You are...”
The leader of the patrolling guards was shocked. As he noticed Zhong Kongfan's luxurious clothing and a logo he had on him, he appeared stern and took a bow. ”Sir!”
As a spiritual array master, even if he was just a spiritual disciple, everyone in the city would show their utmost respect to them as they were the ones running the city.
”Mm, these people...”
Zhang Kongfan stared at Li Hu intently and clenched his teeth. ”They are my friends... What's happening?”
”Ah... Nothing much!”
The leader of the patrolling guards was stunned. Between the businessman and the spiritual array master, he quickly took a stand.
Turning around, he stared at the businessman with justice. ”Businessman Min, you have wrongly accused of these foreigners. Follow us to the government court. We'll also need you to seal up your storeroom, and we'll check it!”
”This... This...”
The cunning businessman was stunned.
His backing was only the uncle of the leader. If they wanted to do things 'by the book', he would have no grounds to resist.
Furthermore, as Businessman Min looked at Zhang Kongfan, his legs turned jelly.
Never would he have thought that these foreigners had a spiritual array master as their backing!
How was this possible?
How would a person of such a high status get involved with these lowly people?
Businessman Min's heart was filled with regret. However, he knew that there was nothing more that he could say. Everything was reasonable.
After all, he was a smart person, and without hesitation, he admitted. ”I admit to my wrongdoings! I shouldn't have listened to rumours and caused trouble to these people!”
Looking at Li Hu and Yu Jian, he was now smiling. ”I'll return you your goods, and compensate you guys another 10 rocks of green salt, 130 pounds of top-quality metal. Please accept!”
Li Hu and Yu Jian rolled their eyes.
In reality, both of them had no clue as to what was happening, and how did the situation change.
The originally fierce looking businessman suddenly became an obedient one, to the extent that he was afraid they might not accept his gifts.
”All of this had become as such, and we owe it to the appearance of this Sir!”
Li Hu looked at Zhang Kongfan and could guess that this person had a high social standing. Quickly, he knelt down. ”Thank you for saving our lives, Rock Village will never forget you!”
”No worries, I have been tasked by someone else to do this!”
Zhang Kongfan had an unnatural look on his face. Turning around, he did not accept the gratitude from these people.
After all, if not for his Master's instructions, he wouldn't care less about their survival.
”Since this is so...”
Li Hu knew the limit. Even though Zhang Kongfan was a strong backing, he did not want to force it on him, which might result in a backlash. ”Then we shall keep things as such!”
He took a bow towards the leader of the patrolling guards. ”Thank you for upholding justice!”
”Mm, you're welcome!”
The leader smiled. He knew that they were thankful for his help. ”I am Luo Fan. If you do visit Descending Star City in the future, you can look for me!”
”I've settled this, and I shall take my leave!”
Zhang Kongfan looked down and left. He did not care less about how they were going to settle the issue.
”Eh? That is...”
Yu Jian looked towards the direction where Zhang Kongfan headed towards. Rubbing his eyes, he thought that he had seen a familiar silhouette. After blinking a few times, they were all gone, and it was like an illusion.
”That should be Lord!”
Li Hu walked towards him and exclaimed with confidence. They only had relations with one such powerful person. ”Who would've known that he could manipulate a spiritual array master...”
In his voice, there was a hint of regret.
