whoosh *
With a sound, Leng Jun placed the iron sword at Fat Boss's throat.
”Are you kidding me? I asked you to explain about the gem, why are you telling me so many unrelated things? ”
Fat Boss's face also turned ”whoosh”.
In an instant, his face turned ghastly pale.
He hastily replied, ”I won't ask, I won't ask. I'll explain it to you now.”
Leng Jun humphed.
He placed the sword on the table and said, ”You'd better give me a good explanation. Otherwise, I won't stop the next time. My sword will directly slice open your neck.”
Fat Boss let out a long breath, before saying: ”Sir already knows, that even if you are going to be an audience, you still have to buy seats. And every time there were over a thousand people watching the auction, just counting the seats, the Sky City Exchange had the income of over tens of thousands of Deity Coin. Of course, if there really were items being auctioned off, they would still get a commission. But Young Master, think about it, how can there be so many treasures being auctioned off every month? If there were no attractive auction items, not only would the exchange be unable to get commission, but they might not even be able to sell seats. ”Therefore, every time an auction is held, the Exchange will look for something to intentionally raise the price of the goods. The purpose of this is to attract more people to come watch the auction so that they can collect high seats for profit.”
After saying all that in one breath, Fat Boss turned to Leng Jun and asked, ”Sir, now you understand what I mean, right?”
Seeing that Leng Jun's hand was about to reach for the sword, the Fat Boss hurriedly said: ”And this time, at the auction, the exchange market has deliberately given the four gems a name that would attract attention, and then purposefully raised the price to attract people's attention. The bidders and the final bidders were all pre-arranged by the Exchange Company. In fact, although the gems are rare, they're not worth that much money. ”
Seeing that Leng Jun still did not believe his, the Fat Boss hurriedly ran to the counter and brought out a metal box.
He placed the metal box on the table and it immediately started to shake. It was obvious that the item inside was not light.
Fat Boss opened the metal box. Inside the box was the transparent Crystal Sword.
The Fat Boss pointed at the Crystal Sword and said to Leng Jun: ”Young Noble should have also seen it. This sword is only an artifact made out of crystal, and has also been described as an Ancient Divine Artifact by the exchange, how could it even look like an Ancient Divine Artifact?”
Leng Jun glanced at the Crystal Sword. After the last time he was scammed, he did not believe Fat Boss's words anymore. It was just that Leng Jun did not expose him in front of everyone.
The words of the Fat Boss were not all lies. There would definitely be some things that would cause trouble in the auction, such as those people who had been bidding against Qian Bao Duo, the Sect Master of the Southern Fuji Sect, earlier in the day.
However, the prices of the gems and Crystal Sword s were all set by the Fat Boss himself, and were not deliberately set by the exchange market.
After Leng Jun heard the Fat Boss's words, he did not expose him immediately. He only smiled slightly and said: ”Boss, I was just playing with you just now. Sky City doesn't allow martial arts to be known by the world, how could a kid like me dare to break the rules? I really came today to buy things. ”
When the Fat Boss heard this, he heaved a sigh of relief and slumped back in his chair. ”I say, Young Noble, why are you not playing with this? My old life was almost scared to death by you.”
After taking a few deep breaths, Fat Boss asked, ”I wonder what Young Noble wants to sell this time?”
Leng Jun smiled without changing his expression: ”Actually I thought that coming here was a waste. After hearing what you said, I finally felt at ease. Actually, when I sold those gems, I was in urgent need of money. Now that I know that it wasn't auctioned off, it's great. I wanted to buy it back. Of course, I won't let you suffer a loss. I thought you said those gems were worth a hundred thousand, right? I have prepared one hundred and twenty thousand gold. Please take out the gem. ”
As Leng Jun said those words one by one, Fat Boss's expression grew uglier and uglier.
He had read a lot of bullsh * t, but now he was going to find four top quality rubies.
Seeing the bitter look on Fat Boss's face, Leng Jun felt very proud in his heart. He reached his hand out and took out a money pouch, placed it on the table, and said: ”Look, I've brought all the money.”
The purse was bulging and he couldn't tell how much money was inside.
But Fat Boss was very sensitive towards money, with just a glance, one could tell that there were at least tens of thousands of dollars inside.
When Fat Boss saw how sincere Leng Jun's words were, he felt even more guilty. Cold sweat continuously dripped from his forehead as he continuously calculated in his heart how to deal with Leng Jun.
Leng Jun was not in a rush, he also wanted to see how this Fat Boss would deal with him.
As Leng Jun ate the food and wine on the table, his gaze fell upon the Crystal Sword.
The Crystal Sword's entire body was transparent, and it emitted a faint cold aura.
Leng Jun looked at it for a moment and could not help but extend his hand to caress the sword.
