Chapter 399 - Chapter 399: Chapter 399: Fifty Thousand Promissory Note (2/2)
Chen Yu couldn’t help frowning and rushed over quickly.
Jin Lingsu, wielding a pair of golden spikes, was duking it out with an extremely ugly middle-aged man. The two went back and forth, evenly matched.
Just as they were locked in an inseparable battle, Chen Yu suddenly charged out and grabbed the man’s arm.
“What in the world is going on?”
The domineering voice startled everyone present.
Jin Lingsu also sighed with relief.
“This guy came out of nowhere, claiming he had once been Victor’s bodyguard and demanding what he called a ‘bodyguard fee’ of five hundred taels of gold.”
The middle-aged man glared furiously, trying to break free, but found Chen Yu’s grip was like iron tongs, firmly clasping his arm.
“That’s the going rate in Dongming Canyon. If you can’t afford it, don’t hire a bodyguard.”
Chen Yu’s brow furrowed slightly; he knew gold was the hard currency here.
When Victor had fallen on hard times before, there hadn’t been a single bodyguard by his side. Where did this guy come from?
Victor emerged from the building, looking somewhat helpless.
“On my first day in Dongming Canyon, this fellow clung to me refusing to leave, insisting on being my bodyguard. But I never agreed to it.”
Chen Yu immediately understood that there were indeed many such people in Dongming Canyon.
They made a living by forcibly insisting on being someone’s bodyguard to earn gold.
These guys were the worst.
Chen Yu didn’t bother with pleasantries, directly using force to shatter the bones in the man’s arm.
Immediately, chaos erupted, since many here made their livelihood as bodyguards.
Now someone had failed to get paid and was beaten to this state, totally shattering their unwritten rules.
Just as the group prepared to step forward and demand an explanation from Chen Yu, he pulled out the Knights of the Round Table Token.
“Starting today, every single one of you, if anyone dares to come within half a step of this place, I will take their life.”
These people had made their way in Dongming Canyon and naturally were somewhat knowledgeable, with quite a few recognizing the Token.
They didn’t dare make the slightest false move, scattering like quails.
Chen Yu didn’t say anything more and directly pulled Victor into the shop.
“Why have you come back in? I’ve already told you, if you stay in my inn, you must pay with gold. If you don’t have any, please go somewhere else.”
The innkeeper, along with a few workers, blocked their way, two of them wielding large sticks.
Chen Yu’s eyes flashed with disdain as he once again lifted the Knights of the Round Table Token.
The innkeeper was startled.
“Oh, if you have this Token, why didn’t you show it earlier? Please, head upstairs.”
Chen Yu didn’t move immediately but instead took out that gold note.
“I’m new here and still don’t know how to use this. Could you deduct the cost of the room and return the rest to me?”
The innkeeper’s face showed amazement, seeing such a high-value gold note for the first time.
“How could I accept money from a Knight of the Round Table staying at my inn? Whatever you need, the establishment can provide. Please settle in with ease.”
