Chapter 641: A Foolish Owner (1/2)

The customers who had been watching the entire show all this time were shocked by this development. They were sure that it would be Jing Luo being beaten up rather than the owner. In fact, they had not expected the owner to be hurt at all.

But seeing that a member of the merchant council himself had done this, they could not question it. All they could do now was to wait and see what else happened.

”The owner is out of his luck,” One of the customers said.

”I didn't think that this man would be so influential that even council members Shang would give him face.” Another customer said.

”You don't understand. What if the man was not lying at all?” A customer who was old said.

”What do you mean?” the previous customers questioned.

”Don't you all know that the spirit stones aren't actually the same size? It is the sects and the mine owners that cut it into that size to make it standardized. An uncut stone that is as big as this is quite rare.” The old man spoke.

”Why would it be rare, grandpa?” a young teenage girl questioned.

”Simply because they are usually not let out into the market and the ones who can have them are usually the mine owners themselves. This means that either this man is an owner of a spirit stone mine himself, or that he belongs to some powerful sect.” The old man spoke in a wizened tone.

”Whoa! Can he really be from a sect?” The people were now really surprised.

”I can't sense his cultivation base! He's definitely stronger than me.” A young man who haha a sword on his back said.

The other customers of the shop also heard the conversation that happened on these few tables and had a face of realization. To them, the restaurant owner had simply kicked a steel plate today.

The owner, who had been knocked into the wall, managed to sit up while coughing blood. Pain filled his body as he realized he had probably broken several bones and had internal injuries. His mouth also seemed to be far lighter than before to him.

”My teeth… they are gone…” the owner said in a sorrowful tone.

When he spoke, one could see the missing teeth in the front and the fragmented teeth in the back. The fragments that had been broken could be seen lying around the place where he had coughed.

The white teeth stained with blood and lying in the splattered pools looked rather gross.

”Why Council member Jingming Shang?” The owner questioned.

”You just offended a person I know and you are in the wrong as well. This is truly a spirit stone… an uncut one.” Jingming Shang stated.

”I-I… I… ahhhh! ~thud~” The owner tried to justify himself but simply fainted after a few tries.
