Chapter 67: Embarrassing Situation (1/2)
Old Li sighed in relief and explained. ”Though this girl seemed to be small, she is definitely a genius of the dwarven tribe. Some of you might not believe me but I suspect that she might be from the royal bloodline.”
As soon as his words sounded, the hall was stunned into silence. The royal bloodline? What did that imply? Unlike humans, dwarves were not divided into thousands of territories. On the contrary, there was a sole ruler that ruled the dwarves. That was the Dwarven Royal Clan. Their strength was so terrible that no other dwarven clan dared to object—or oppose—them. Now Old Li dared to claim that she was from the Royal Clan. He must have hit his head in between the doors before coming to the auction.
After a brief silence, a peal of laughter reverberated. Then the entire hall was filled with chuckles and mockery and curses. Artisan Ironclad couldn't help but mock. ”Old Li, do you think you're too smart, or you think we're are too stupid? You can con others with false information but not us. You did the same with that White Rosemary Flower. You told only prose but you left the terrible cons of the herb.”
Immediately, people in the hall were left stunned. Most of them didn't have a strong background. Therefore, they didn't know much about the White Rosemary Flower. After hearing that it could awaken a star, they started to fight over it vigorously. Now it seemed that something was wrong with White Rosemary Flower.
Khrom heard Artisan Ironclad's words and his expression became awful. He clenched his fist and blood started to drip. However, Kadyn didn't realise it as his attention was somewhere else.
Old Li's expression also didn't look good when Ironclad exposed his petty trick. He thought that none of those people would stoop low enough to expose this matter. As he didn't lie about the effect of the flower and just didn't tell about the consequences of taking it. However, who would have thought that this Ironclad would say it so bluntly in front of the masses. After today the reputation of the Slave Auction House would definitely decrease.
Old Li clenched his fist and glared towards room number four with viciousness. Afterwards, he suppressed his anger and indignation and said. ”At least, let me explain before accusing me of anything.” He said, but could not hide the resentment from his voice.
”Sure, I would like to hear your explanation.” Ironclad sneered.
The old man took a deep breath and calmed himself down. He was getting agitated after being provoked by Ironclad again and again. If it wasn't for his strength, Old Li would have already thrown him out of the Auction House. Afterwards, he looked at the dwarven girl inside the cart and said. ”I said I suspect that she is from a Royal Clan but I didn't say that I'm confident about it. Furthermore, I said that because this girl herself admitted it.”
”Are you kidding us? How would we know if you are speaking the truth about it?” this time it was Artisan Hot Rod who questioned. ”Who knows if you have terrorised that little girl to admit it in front of us?”
Old Li was left speechless by such a counter, his face turned a little red; however, he hid it without letting anyone see. He thought that he could use this fact to raise the price. Now it seemed that it had become a bone in his throat, painful to swallow, hard to remove. He couldn't help but once more glare at room number four hatefully. It was all because of that bastard Ironclad.
”He dug his own grave.” Kadyn shook his head and murmured
