SWNOVELS Chapter 3341
Evelyne gave a soft sigh and explained, "This, it was Brother Chen who gave you this."
"At the city gate earlier on, because of the critics and comments that Junior Alchemy Master had to apologize to you, and even gave you 100,000 yuan stones as compensation."
"That amount of money was nothing to him, but for ordinary people, it's a large sum. It's completely too far beyond the normal amount of compensation."
"He deliberately mentioned the amount out loud, which was 100,000 yuan stones. There were so many people with ulterior motives around, and they would target you both, who are weak and feeble."
"This money seems like money which fell from the skies. But in fact, it was a blade that attacks." "If you really took the money, you might not be able to get out of Wood Fragrance City alive."
After listening to Evelyne's words, the mother suddenly came to a realisation and suddenly understood what had happened just now. Her face suddenly turned all pale.
Then she said, "So, Master Chen purposely asked for the money as a token of gratitude, taking the card away just to protect us?"
Evelyne nodded and said, "That's exactly his intentions. He forcefully took the money away from you in front of the crowd, and then the target would be aimed towards him."
"This, this Master Chen-" The mother's face was full of gratitude and she did not know what to say for a moment. "That, I cannot take Master Chen's money. He'd helped me several times. How could I still take his money? I couldn't..." Evelyne gave the card back to her and chuckled, "It's nothing. 100,000 yuan stones mean nothing at all to Brother Chen. He doesn't lack that money at all. You should keep it and it would help you and your daughter's lives improve a little." "Thank, thank you very much, Master Chen. Thank you very much to you too." The mother's face was streaked with tears of gratitude.
A moment later, Evelyne went back with a pile of snacks.
"Brother Chen, have a taste of them. They are all specialties of Wood Fragrance City. Try them and see if they suit your taste."
After, Fade just enjoyed his tea while having the snacks, and he looked relaxed and calm.
On the other hand, Lenny seemed a little restless sitting beside Fade.
After all, he was still waiting to go sell the Reddish Flower for money to cure his wife's illness.
Evelyne noticed Lenny's anxiety and whispered, "Brother Liu, don't worry. Brother Chen will definitely help you."
Hearing this, Lenny's mood calmed down a little.
Fade seemed as if he was simply just eating and drinking, but his eyes were actually observing the streets in Wood Fragrance City.
In that short period of time, Fade had already noticed some characteristics.
Wood Fragrance City was very huge and prosperous. It was even more prosperous than Southern Van City.
However, the new people and new businesses were divided into two obvious different levels.
Among them, some were wearing gorgeous clothings, and entering luxury stores decorated exquisitely.
Most of the ordinary people were dressed in plain clothes, which weren't better than Lenny's. The stores that they entered were mainly the stalls beside the streets and the food stalls.
With that, it couldn't explain anything much. After all, no matter which city it was, there would be the rich and the poor, and it was a definite thing.
However, the situation in Wood Fragance City was a little different.
Wood Fragrance City was much more prosperous than Southern Van City, but its difference between rich and poor was much more obvious.
If in South Van City, the ratio of the poor and rich were of 8:2, then in Wood Fragrance City it would be 9:1, which was obviously higher. Moreover, almost all the rich people in Wood Fragrance City had a symbol on them, the Magic Furnace symbol.
That symbol represented the Alchemist Association.
That was to say, the rich people of Wood Fragrance City basically were members of the Alchemist Association or were related to it. And the poor lived their lives worse than those in South Van City.
Of course, that was just the conclusion Fade reached to after a simple observation. As for the details, he still didn't know much.
After finishing the tea, the three of them then left the teahouse.
Fade deliberately walked into a remote alley by the roadside.
Sure enough, seven or eight ferocious strong men immediately surrounded him.
"Boy, hand over the money. I will spare your life." A muscular man with a scar on his face threatened Fade.
Fade shook his head and sighed, "It seems that there are so many people who want money more than their own lives!"
While speaking, Fade stepped forward and walked towards those strong men.
The strong man with a scarred face was furious. He took out a dagger and tried to attack, "You're looking for......"
However, before he could finish his words, all the men soon fell to the ground;
Fade rubbed his hands and brought the scarred-face man and Lenny away.
Behind them, several people in the crowd, who had been secretly following them, quickly approached both of them and turned into the alley. They then saw the few people inside. Their expressions suddenly changed as they left immediately, not following them anymore.
After sensing the movements behind himself, Fade said faintly, "The followers are gone."
Evelyne breathed a sigh of relief and her expressions finally soothed a little.
Fade asked, "How is the situation on the other side?"
Evelyne nodded and said, "I've dealt with it."
Lenny was all confused upon hearing that.
Seeing this, Evelyne immediately told him about how Fade was trying to protect both the mother and daughter.
After hearing this, Lenny finally understood it, "So Master Chen was having that in mind, you're such a great person! I almost thought that..
Speaking of this, Lenny covered his mouth and did not continue.
Fade joked, "What is it? Did you think that I was such a villain who would bully the weak and feeble?"
"No, no-" Lenny hurriedly shook his head.
Fade smiled and said, "Don't get nervous. Let's go, let's go sell your Reddish Flower."
Lenny happily nodded and said, "I heard from people that they usually sell herbs in Wood Fragrance Trading.
Soon, the three of them arrived at the entrance of Wood Fragrance Trading.
It was an eight-story building built of wood. The whole building was huge and exquisite. People were coming and going inside, and it was so crowded and lively in there. Moreover, most of the people who went in and out were well-dressed rich folks.
Fade and the others appearing there seemed a little out of place, and they even caught attention from many.
They simply ignored that weird gazes as they walked into the store.
After waiting for a while, a worker in the store only then approached them and asked in a cold tone, "What do you want?"
Lenny quickly said, "I want to sell
เอนๆ
some medicine." "What kind of medicine? Don't take that cheap stuff and try to sell it here in our store. We're not accepting that here, it'll just ruin our reputation." The worker said in an arrogant tone.
Lenny took the Reddish Flower out and carefully handed it over, and asked, "Is, is this okay?"
"Reddish Flower! It's the Rank 8 Human Level!" The worker was a little surprised. "It's considered okay. Come with me."
"Okay!" Lenny hurriedly followed him.
When they arrived at a counter, the worker said something to an elder with a white beard there, "President Lin, he's here to sell medicine. The Reddish Flower, please have a look at it." After that, the worker looked at Lenny.
Lenny was reluctant to take the Reddish Flower out of his hands, and he was also a little worried.
Seeing this, Elder Lin said disdainfully, "It's just a Rank 8 Human Level Reddish Flower. Do you think we, the Wood Fragrance Trading would even want this thing from you?"
"No, no!" Lenny waved his hands and handed over the Reddish Flower.
Elder Lin examined it and finally nodded, "It is indeed the Reddish Flower. It has 350 years of medicinal age. We'll keep it!"
Then, Elder Lin threw out a receipt. "Take this receipt and redeem your money over there."
"Thank you, thank you..Lenny took the receipt over and thanked him.
However, when he took a closer look at the receipt, he was stunned. "This..
"What's wrong?" Evelyne came over and asked.
Lenny rubbed his eyes and took another look at it, then looked up at Elder Lin as he said, "This, have you mistaken it?" "What?" Elder Lin frowned.
The worker immediately came over, glanced at him and said, "Reddish Flower, for 20,000 yuan stones, it's not wrong!" "No, isn't the Reddish Flower worth 80,000 yuan stones?" Lenny said.
"Who told you that the Reddish Flower is worth 80,000?" Elder Lin asked in a cold tone.
"Ah, this, this-the other herb collectors told me that. They said..Lenny replied.
However, before he could finish his words, Elder in snorted and interrupted him. He said in an upset tone, "You've said it, that's for other cities Here in Wood Fragrance City, the Reddish Flower indeed cost this price."
"But, but-" Lenny didn't know what to do.
Fade, who was standing aside, frowned as he said, "Isn't it too much for you to reduce the price by so much?"
"Reddish Flower, no matter which
city you bring it to, the price would definitely not be lower than 70,000 yuan stones. Isn't it a little too greedy for you to buy it for 20,000 yuan stones?"
"Who are you?" Elder Lin glared at Fade with dissatisfaction.
Fade said coldly, "I'm just an ordinary
passerby."
"Boy, you're not from Wood Fragrance City, are you? You'd better shut up right now or you wouldn't be able to bear the consequences." Elder Lin gave Fade a warning. Fade's expression remained the same as he sneered, "What sort of consequences? I would like to have a look."
"You-" Elder Lin was furious. He waved his hand and ordered, "Throw them out."
Just as he said that, a group of guards surrounded them.
The scene became noisy, and many other customers also came to watch.
One of them, who was a man in a black shirt tried to remind them in a low voice, "Don't be stupid, you cannot afford to provoke the Wood Fragrance Trading. Hurry up and apologize!" Fade glanced at the man and said lightly, "There must be someone who would be willing to fight against injustice. I am willing to do so."
The man in the black shirt did not speak and retreated.
At that moment, Lenny was trembling in fear seeing the guards who had full armor surrounding them. He looked at Fade and whispered, "Master Chen, let's, let's just go." Fade nodded and stretched out an arm at Elder Lin and said, "I can go, but give the Reddish Flower back."
Evelyne said indignantly, "Yes, give us our things back. The price you're offering is too low and we've decided not to sell it to you. We'll just sell it elsewhere, hrmph!" Elder Lin's face darkened. He was about to become furious when he saw many other customers looking at him.
Therefore, he suppressed his anger and threw out the Reddish Flower. He said coldly, "Sell it elsewhere? Hrmph, let me say this upfront."
"In Wood Fragrance City, no one would dare to buy anything from you."
Ignoring Elder Lin's harsh words, the three of them left the Wood Fragrance Trading with the Reddish Flower in their hands.
