Chapter 396 - Chapter 396: Chapter 396: Half of the Treasures (2/2)
“The reason your body has turned out this way is not only because of the misuse of medicine but also due to consuming raw blood! The methods of prolonging life mentioned in ancient medical texts all require the aid of specific drugs, and your indiscriminate use will only cause problems.”
As he spoke, Chen Yu controlled the electric currents in his hands, letting them flow over the man’s body.
The shopkeeper’s previously hunched body gradually reverted to normal, and even his eyes brightened with some luster.
Just then, a commotion erupted outside the door, and Mo Sanchong, somehow, got trapped by a group of people at the entrance.
“The other day you called me over to guard the house, and it seems you haven’t settled that bill yet. Hurry up and pay up, or I’ll trash your shop.”
“You still owe me for bodyguard services from a year ago, and if you don’t pay up today, I’m going to take you down.”
…
A large group of people surrounded the place, all seemingly there to collect money, leaving Mo Sanchong at a loss.
Chen Yu frowned, feeling a bit puzzled. Mo Sanchong ran such a large shop; could it really be that he couldn’t cover the cost of bodyguard fees?
“Hey, how much does he owe you? I’ll pay!”
Chen Yu stepped forward, taking out a promissory note from his person.
But these thugs sneered at it.
“Around here, we only deal in Gold and goods; your money is worthless here.”
Chen Yu’s eyes widened in disbelief; outside, promissory notes are not something an ordinary person could afford, yet here, they were as useless as dirt.
Mo Sanchong sighed helplessly.
“Mr. Chen, if you want to stay here for a long time, you can’t do without a reserve of Gold.”
Chen Yu sighed, feeling helpless. He had come in such haste; how could he possibly have brought Gold with him?
Moreover, when he had looked around Mo Sanchong’s shop, aside from some Western treasures, there wasn’t a single item containing Gold.
“Can his debt to you be deferred for three days?”
No sooner had Chen Yu spoken than the crowd burst into laughter.
“Kid, he’s been owing us for a long time, and today’s the final deadline. You still want to delay for three days? It looks like you’re tired of living!”
One of the men was about to advance, wielding a large sabre.
Chen Yu didn’t bother with pleasantries and directly pulled out the Token of the Knights of the Round Table.
The moment he revealed the Token, those few froze in place, one of them even dropping to his knees on the ground.
“Are you a Knight of the Round Table?”
Chen Yu hadn’t expected this object to be even more effective than Gold in this place.
“Correct. Can I defer the payment for three days with this thing?”
“Of course!” one of the men stepped forward respectfully. “Not just three days, even three months will do! Additionally, if you require protection while here, you can come directly to us, and we won’t charge you half a gram of Gold.”
Chen Yu didn’t say much more, merely nodding his head before letting them go.
Mo Sanchong immediately breathed a sigh of relief; thankfully, Chen Yu was present, otherwise his shop might not have been spared today.
