Chapter 113 - Business (1/2)

Hao Xuan changed into some jeans and a white shirt before going to meet Sixth. He had sent him the location of a restaurant in the western area of the city.

The western side held many beautiful sceneries and was a very popular scenic spot. There was a ten-kilometer long strip of malls and hotels so it was the go-to spot for families and couples or basically anyone looking to have a fun night out.

He used Emperor's Arrival to move faster and arrived in the area within 30mins or so.

”Wow, this seems like a completely different place,” Hao Xuan was looking around like a villager that had never seen an urban area before.

Because in most of the other areas of the city, the buildings were like the ones found in old Chinese movies. The streets were extremely wide and there were giant pavilions and old-school courtyards everywhere. There were no tall buildings, at least not many.

But this place was like a metropolitan city on its own. It reminded him of Tokyo from earth, or what he remembered from the videos and pictures since he had never left the town he was born in.

The entire area was littered with hundreds of meters tall skyscrapers.

He walked into a slightly deserted alley and summoned Green and Red.

”Here, take this and buy yourselves a few things. Get some storage rings, spirit bands, and any other essentials. And buy some suits for yourselves. The best money can buy. You're with me now. I Can't have you looking like beggars,” Hao Xuan said while taking off his own Spirit band and throwing it to them.

Usually, only the owner of the band would be able to use it, with the only exception being the summoned creatures and slaves that had their souls under the control of their masters. Even if they wanted to do something bad, it wouldn't be possible. And even though Green and Red weren't his slaves, their souls were still connected to his so it was enough to fool the bands and use one another's.

They silently bowed and walked off with huge steps.

He stepped out of the alley and got back up on the main road to observe the surroundings. It really was too similar to some of the places back on earth and looking around he felt a bit homesick.

There were thousands of people walking around. There even seemed to be some groups wearing similar uniforms which confused him.

”Are there normal schools here too? Well, there should be, for the mortals at least,” he thought looking at them.

It was about 12 p.m and the sun was shining brightly. It was almost the end of January so it was still cold. But he could barely feel anything even with the single cotton shirt he had on. It was one of the advantages of the cultivation world. At higher realms, cultivators could walk on lava and sleep in freezing tundras without a worry in the world so this was nothing much.

He followed the crowd and walked for a good 15 minutes before reaching his objective.

Since arriving in the Beast world, this was the first time he saw some of the vehicles he so dearly wanted.

There were three of them parked outside a restaurant. Two looked like the old Alto cars from earth, instead only smaller and somehow less attractive. The other one was like a scooter.

”.....is it just me or do they look worse than I expected?” he mumbled while staring at them with a frown.

”Hahaha, what do you think? Beautiful isn't it? Jealous? You're jealous, aren't you? Its fine, I can take it, hahaha” said a husky voice from the entrance of the restaurant where a few youngsters were standing. All of them were well dressed and anyone could tell at first glance that they came from rich backgrounds.

The owner of the voice was a slightly chubby man that had gold ornaments on for some reason. He looked like someone that had just come into a bit of money and was keen to show it off.

He walked up to one of the cars and lovingly patted its roof before looking at Hao Xuan with a grin, ”What do you think? Awesome isn't it? You don't look half bad so if you follow me and become my servant, I can think about giving you a ride,” he said while closing his eyes and waiting for an answer.

One of the guys behind him suddenly came forward, ”Boss is so magnanimous. Hurry up and bow before he changes his mind. You should know that not just anyone could get such an offer from our great boss,” he looked at Hao Xuan with a smile, as if doing him a great favor.

Hao Xuan, on the other hand, was speechless. He was just thinking this ”thing” looked hideous and now this fatass wanted him to become his servant to get a 'chance' to ride it?

”I wouldn't be caught dead in this thing. Get the hell out of my way. Retards,” he gave them a disdainful look and walked past them, entering the restaurant.

The fatass who was standing next to the car acted like he had heard the most unbelievable thing in the world and put his hand over his heart in an exaggerated manner.

”Wha- How dare you! I lower myself to invite you from the kindness of my heart and this is how you treat me?!” he shouted at Hao Xuan's back but with a couple of steps he was already out of sight.

”Don't worry boss, we will bring him in front of you and make him beg for forgiveness!” the man behind the fatass shouted and left with several of the other ones.

Hao Xuan didn't pay them any attention and continued walking. He entered the elevator and pressed the button for the 8th floor. That's where Sixth was.
