“What are you selling?”

Those three men with fierce expressions, extraordinary presences, and full sets of fourth-echelon demon vessels or divine weapons looked incredibly eye-catching in the crowd, and they had long since attracted the attention of many stall owners as well as passersby. They watched these three men move through the crowd and stop in front of an inconspicuous, normal stall.

Many people instantly had their gazes gather on the stall, thinking that something good appeared over there.

However, many of the players who surrounded the stall then noticed that the atmosphere in the place was a little off.

The trio each occupied a spot at the stall, forming a triangle while making sure that they could easily cover each other. The imposing presence they released caused many people to not dare get closer to them!

They fixed their eyes on the stall owner’s face with burning stares, and there was a hint of coldness and killing intent in their gazes.

“What happened?”

“I don’t know.”

“Looks like they’re here for trouble.”

“Tsk, tsk… These people look like they have great backing. We have plenty of top-class elites in the Chinese server, but there aren’t many with full sets of fourth-echelon demon vessels or divine weapons. This time, we ran into three people with them in one go. Who is the stall owner? He doesn’t seem scared.”

“I don’t know, but judging by his clothes, he should be from the Murong Clan. The things he is selling are also from the Murong Clan.”

*****

The Murong Clan disciple stared at the three fierce people who suddenly appeared in front of him. He had a puzzled expression on his face when he heard their hostile tone, and a frown gradually formed between his eyebrows. “Can’t you look with your own eyes what I’m selling?”

“Hah. You sure have a temper with you.” Golden Rakkhasa sneered coldly and took half a step forward.

Wild Wolves were already used to running amuck in the game, and this was the first time an inconspicuous person retorted to them. Killing intent rose in their hearts.

The young stall owner chuckled softly in a nonchalant manner. “I don’t think you’re here to buy anything at all.

“Well? Are you going to attack me in the city?”

“Rakkhasa!”

Flame Wolf’s gaze was fixed on the young stall owner’s face. When he saw the young stall owner’s fearless attitude, he called out to Golden Rakkhasa to stop him from taking action, and he said to the young stall owner, “My friend’s tone of voice was wrong just now, but there is no need for you to be so crude either. We just want to see what you’re selling—”

“You want to see what I’m selling? Do you think I’m a fool?” The young stall owner chuckled coldly. “Do you know what I’m selling and what they’re used for?”

This time, Golden Rakkhasa was not the only one displeased, even Flame Wolf was a little angry. They could no longer remember when was the last time someone mocked them in their faces, and what was the end result for that person.

At that moment, Bloody Hell Saber stared at the young stall owner’s eyes and said, “It’s just a few ores and pelts. There’s nothing special to them. Do you think that we can’t pay you—”

“If you really want to buy them, I won’t object to them, but your reason is just plain lousy. These items are the materials to create Taiyuan Robe, a normal grade one equipment, as well as the materials to refine Emperor of Qin’s equipment. Even though they’re pretty good equipment among grade one equipment, look at your own equipment, they’re all fourth-echelon demon vessels and divine weapons. Do you think it’s fun to come and spend your time coming to the market and talking to a nobody like me?

When they heard this, not only did all three Wild Wolves finally understand that the young stall owner was mocking them for trying to entertain themselves because they were bored, even the people watching by the side started sizing them up, and they nodded in silence.

“Who made the rule saying that we can’t buy these things?”

The young stall owner smiled coldly. “Of course, there’s no one who would make such rules even if they’re bored out of their minds. I just think that what you’re doing is completely senseless. If you’re in a hurry to get these things, you can just get some random person to have it delivered to you or put up a request at the commission shop to buy it. There’s no reason for you to come to a stall like mine for fun, right? If you’re thinking of conducting a huge business, there’s even fewer reasons for you to come to a small stall like mine to invite ridicule to yourself.”

“That’s right. Your equipment is incredibly grand, and you’re here to buy materials for grade one masterpieces? Aren’t you being stupid?”

“If he’s selling made grade one masterpieces, at least you can explain buying it to give it as a gift to someone, but these are all just materials… These three might want to cause trouble to the stall owner.”

The players around them started chatting up a storm, and Flame Wolf found himself unable to get out of the situation elegantly.

“You don’t just have refinement materials in your stall.”

“I’ve already given you my explanation as to why I don’t want to entertain you. Consider this as me begging you, stop holding me up from conducting my business, okay?” The young stall owner looked as if he was defeated, and he pointed at the other items sold at the stalls and said, “The very first thing you asked of me when you came over here was to ask me what I was selling. Now, I’ll tell you. These items are quest items that can only be obtained after doing certain quests from the Murong Clan. Besides, only the Murong Clan disciples can use these items, so are you telling me that you want to buy them? How about this? Why don’t you tell me the name of your friend at the Murong Clan? I might actually know that person.”

The young stall owner mocked them with every sentence.

The Wild Wolves, who really just wanted to test this person, had their expressions turn so dark at that moment that they truly wanted to immediately kill the young stall owner.

“I’ll buy all these items at double price!” As if he wanted to regain his dignity, Golden Rakkhasa said with a hostile tone.

The people in the area sucked in sharp breaths.

‘Buying those items at double price? That’s practically a major deal that came out of nowhere!’

A group of nosey people near the stall stared at the young stall owner with envious and jealous gazes. Their gazes were practically saying, “Bro, you sure know how to spin your words. You offended them so much, but you ended up with getting all your items sold at double price? You’re rich now!”

“Hurry up and agree to the deal!”

“After all, they have so much money that they don’t know how to spend it! You’ve got yourself a major deal!”

But a strange thing happened.

Just when everyone, including the three Wild Wolves, thought that the young stall owner would stop mocking them and quickly complete the deal, the young stall owner had an even more disdainful and mocking look appear on his face, and he spoke even more plainly, “Ooh…? Getting embarrassed, are we? I’m telling you, I won’t fall for your tricks. You want to get my name and information through the trade, don’t you? By doing that, you can regain your dignity, and in the future, it’ll be easy for you to take revenge on me. Do you think I’m actually stupid enough to agree to the trade?”

The young stall owner actually resolutely decided to pack up his things in the stall at that moment, and under countless players’ dumbfounded gazes, he cackled smugly, “Well? Unless you actually have the guts to attack in the city, or else, I’m actually not scared of you.”

Some were rendered speechless.

“Awesome.”

“He’s too sharp. I can’t believe he actually thought of this.”

“If I were in his place, I would have definitely agreed to their trade, not knowing what was going on…” A player patted his chest with lingering fear in him.

These were three elites with full sets of fourth-echelon demon vessels and divine weapons. The force behind them could easily destroy a normal player with no background. In fact, they could just as easily destroy a player with powerful backing.

Indeed, the losses outweighed the gains if they gave up on a few years worth of work and hard work to just get twice the profit for these goods, and these three fierce-looking people looked as if they could very well do something like what the young stall owner just mentioned.

Many people approved of the young stall owner’s quick mind. When they stared at the three Wild Wolves, their gazes turned incredibly strange, as if they were on guard against something.

The three Wild Wolves were completely speechless this time.

They did not expect that this slight probe for information had actually led to things developing to this extent.

This was a keen young man with an incredibly wild imagination. Perhaps he harbored an incredibly great hate for the rich, and perhaps he ran into too much unfair treatment in the past, which was why he acted this way…

All three looked away simultaneously before they turned around and were prepared to leave.

In truth, based on the conversation they had just now, Bloody Hell Saber was already certain that the person they were looking for was not this young stall owner.

A top-class elite will definitely not bring around a bunch of useless materials on his person. He was also dressed in the clothes belonging to Murong Clan disciples, and he also had the quest items unique to the Murong Clan. Clearly, this person was completely different from the one they were looking for.

“What? Leaving now?”

The young stall owner placed his hands on his hips smugly. He still had the presence he had while he argued verbally with them, and he held himself in the manner and presence of a general.

“I thought that you would attack desperately for the sake of your dignity.

“Tch! And here I am, getting excited over nothing. Do you already know that I’m supported by Gusu City’s governor, and there are a few Myth Realm elites guarding my organization?”

The three Wild Wolves were in the process of turning around to leave when they suddenly heard that young stall owner’s words, and they stopped moving.

‘This guy… he’s seriously rotten to the core!’

‘It’s no wonder why he kept on mocking us! So, he intends to provoke us foreigners so that we would end up being hunted down by Myth Realm elites…’

Golden Rakkhasa, who was the one who had the shortest temper, had cold sweat break out on his skin. ‘What the heck! That’s sinister! Thank goodness I held myself in check! If it isn’t because we still have something else later, I might have already fallen for his provocation and attacked just now… This person is really cunning. Did he set this up right from the beginning?’

Different thoughts flashed in the trio’s minds!

It was also at that moment that the trio’s wariness toward the young stall owner dropped to the lowest. Their last vigilance and suspicion toward the young stall owner disappeared like smoke.

In fact, they found themselves feeling relieved because they thought they were lucky.

But at that moment, something no one expected happened.

The young stall owner, whom countless players were certain was actually weak, suddenly slid behind Golden Rakkhasa like a phantom and attacked like lightning. He actually took the initiative to cause trouble and attack the three Wild Wolves!

The young stall owner attacked too quickly.

The onlookers’ attention was mostly on the three Wild Wolves. Hence, the people who saw this through the corners of their eyes, and they practically could not believe their own eyes.

In an instant, their breathing froze.

What did they see?

This was an ambush that only top-class elites would be able to do!

The young stall owner suddenly seemed to have turned into someone else, and his smug attitude was instantly gone, replaced by a grave presence and an air of self-restraint. His gaze was sharp, and he moved like lightning, but he attacked silently. When he attacked, he easily seized Golden Rakkhasa’s neck, even though he was decked from head to toe in fourth-echelon demon vessels and divine weapons.

‘He’s mad! He’s definitely mad! Does he want to get rich so badly that his mind went bonkers?!’

The players around the area witnessed the young stall owner seize Golden Rakkhasa’s neck, and all they could think of at that moment was something along those lines.

If someone killed a top-class elite with a full set of fourth-echelon demon vessels once and were lucky enough, they could make them drop one piece of equipment, and they would indeed no longer have to worry about their lives anymore.

However, the failure rate for recklessly attacking an Inaction Realm elite was so high that there was a 99.9% chance that they would fail, and this figure was already infinitesimally close to 100%!

And this young stall owner even took the initiative to attack. If he did this, regardless of whether the Inaction Realm elite could react to it, he would end up getting killed no matter what, because if the Inaction Realm elite killed this young stall owner in the city, he would be killed by a Myth Realm elite!

However, before they could recover from their shock, the sound of bones cracking suddenly rose, and Golden Rakkhasa’s neck was crushed like it was brittle wood.

At that moment, countless people had their thoughts fly into disarray.
