Chapter 65 - The Threat of Light and Light
The shopkeeper looked at Chu Qianye who was looking around and said: ”Five.”
Ling Zhao sighed, ”Five spirit stones, this price is indeed cheap.”
The shopkeeper was on the verge of going insane. Five spirit stones? The price of the gold coin was two thousand three hundred Spirit Stones. The lowest price was five thousand Spirit Stones.
Ling Zhao threw five Spirit Stones on the counter, and very calmly put the gold ore into the tiny space ring. This was not a purchase, but a real forced sale.
Chu Qianye looked at the fat on the shopkeeper's face that was trembling as he said: ”I am a man of rules, and like to follow rules. But you guys don't understand the rules, so don't blame me for not being reasonable.”
The shopkeeper was sweating profusely. The storekeeper was right behind him, but he didn't dare to show his face like a tortoise. The storekeeper could only bear the enormous pressure in front of him and was about to collapse.
Ling Zhao picked what he needed and glanced at it, causing Ling Zhao's gaze to fall upon a huge box. Ling Zhao pointed at the box and said: ”How much Purple Cloud Metal is being sold?”
The shopkeeper didn't dare to stop this time and subconsciously said as fast as he could, ”Two hundred spirit stones a catty.”
Ling Zhao berated angrily: ”As expected of the black-hearted, I remember that the Mu Li Trading Company has a price of twenty pieces of Purple Cloud Iron per Jin of spirit stones, I remember that there is definitely such a price, but unfortunately, it has all been sold out. ”You're obviously just here to watch the Mu Li Trading Company run out of goods. That's why you're purposefully raising the price. What is your intention?”
Liao Jingxing grabbed the shopkeeper's shoulder and said: ”Go, go out and give everyone an explanation. Let's see who will put on an act and sell them off at a high price.”
The shopkeeper had announced a normal price. This price was indeed a bit high, but it wasn't that outrageous. As for the Mu Li Trading Company, how could they sell high-grade ores like this? It was even more impossible for them to sell it for twenty Spirit Stones for a jin of Spirit Stones.
The shopkeeper kneeled at Chu Qianye's feet and hugged Chu Qianye's leg with both hands as he said in a sobbing tone, ”Master, I know my wrongs. Even if this box of Purple Cloud Iron is an apology to you, from today onwards, our Sword Qi Pavilion will no longer dare to target the Mu Xuanyin Trading Company.”
Ling Zhao and the others quickly opened the chest, and the several hundred jin of Purple Cloud Iron Ore were quickly divided. Chu Qianye looked down at the shopkeeper and said: ”There is no next time. ”If you dare to use any underhanded methods again, you will know the meaning of regret.”
At the very least, they were certain that the Haoran Sect would not leave any face for these merchants. When Chu Qianye walked out with his men, a dozen or so flying lights quickly rushed over, immediately blocking Chu Qianye and the others behind them.
More than ten beams of light descended, one shopkeeper dressed up as he brought the shopkeeper along in a panic. Those with sharper eyesight could see Sword Qi Pavilion's shopkeeper kneeling on the ground, it was obvious that he had received a good lesson.
A middle-aged man with a friendly face bowed from afar, making the people of Haoran Sect relax his vigilance and said: ”I am the manager of Zhang Ji Trading Company, and am here on orders from my boss to apologize and beg for forgiveness. I hope that the seniors of Haoran Sect will be magnanimous, and forgive us for our previous disgraceful behavior.”
The shop assistant behind him handed over the exquisite box. The middle-aged man carefully opened the box, revealing a piece of precious jade that was shining with a dense light.
The boss of Zhang Ji Trading Company had given such a heavy gift and the other managers felt dizzy. How could they be so shameless? He was the first one who came forward, yet in the end, he took out such a precious apology gift. What about the others?
Ling Zhao knew what was what, and said via sound transmission, ”Blazing Fire Jade, it's good stuff.”
Chu Qianye nodded, a Spiritual Master walked over and took the box back to Chu Qianye's side. A chunky storekeeper turned around and looked at the shop assistant behind him. The shop assistant shook his head, the gift they brought seemed too cheap.
The short and stout man looked around furtively and found that the others also looked troubled. He took a step forward and asked, ”Fellow Daoist, may I ask, if we don't apologize, what will you do next?”
Chu Qianye said gently: ”It's just a warning, we can't bully others using our power.”
No one would believe his words. He didn't want to bully others? Bringing such a luxurious group of thugs, wasn't this just bullying?
The fat man felt that Chu Qianye's answer was right, and said politely: ”I am Wei Chou, the owner and shopkeeper of this pavilion. I have instigated everyone to go with me to suppress Mu Ji Trading Company, I am also considered a mastermind, and would you like to ask if your surname is Chu?”
Chu Qianye honestly replied: ”Chu Qianye.”
Wei Chou licked his dry lips, straightened his waist and said: ”In order to make up for his mistakes, I will offer 20% of the shares in the pavilion to Fellow Daoist Chu, from now on, we are family.”
Wei Chou was one of the planners, he admitted it, in order to not let Zhang Ji Shang's gift suppress his, he clenched his teeth and offered 20% of his shares, and did not invest in shares that only received money, the other four managers felt as if the sky had fallen.
It was said that merchants were unscrupulous, Zhang Ji Trading Company had secretly prepared such a generous gift like Blazing Jade, while Wei Chou was even more vicious, directly handing over 20% of the shares, what about the others?
What was even more hateful was that Wei Chou was honest and open-minded, he said that he was one of the masterminds, how could the other masterminds protect themselves?
