Chapter 213: Boss (2/2)
Alex was not expecting this reaction from them. In his mind, they would either get angry, saying that they didn't have it, and order him to give it to them if he didn't want to get hurt.
Or get happy and show him a yang jade, in which case he would swap one with the food. But he never expected them to just laugh at him. This was a really weird incident.
”What's going on? Why are you laughing? Do you not have these?” he asked.
”Hahaha, Stop trying to act like you're the boss. We've already seen the boss before,” one of them said.
”Haa, That might have worked on some poor newcomers, but us who have been here for a while now won't get so easily scammed. If you think you can swap the yang jade with us old ones for a single fruit, then you are mistaken boy,” another one said.
”It seems you don't know that the boss trades two fruits, instead of one for the yang jade,” the third one said.
”Huh?” Alex was truly confused now. ”What boss are you talking about? It seems you know what a yang jade is, so, will you swap it with me or not?” he asked.
”Go away kid, we don't have any. If we did, we wouldn't be stuck here, trying to hit the fruits down,” the first person spoke. ”We could've just trades yang jades with the boss for food if we had one. We wouldn't be in this current predicament.”
Alex was really intrigued by the current information, so he said, ”Give me information about this boss and I will give you this fruit.”
The three guys looked at him weirdly. ”You want to know about the boss? We don't have much information about him,” one of them said.
”Give me any. This is my first time hearing about this boss and is really curious why he wants yang jades so much,” Alex said.
”You really don't know anything about the boss?” the three asked in confusion. If he didn't know about the boss, why did he try to impersonate him? They were quite confused right now.
”No. I only came to the Forbidden Fields two days ago and I do not know much about this boss,” Alex said.
The three people's eyes went wide when they heard this. ”If that is true, then… you really don't know about the boss?” They asked.
Alex simply put forth the pear towards them and said, ”Enough nonsense, do you know anything or not? I don't have time to waste on you people.”
”Wait, wait, wait, we will tell you. We will tell you about the boss,” he exclaimed and continued, ”It all started about a week and a half ago.”
