Chapter 459: Four hundred and fifty-nine, I, Shen Wannian, will take it!
"Hehe, if Shen doesn’t remember wrongly, the item Your Excellency spent 200,000 Gold Coins on should be that stone, right?"
Shen Wannian confidently laughed twice and then pointed at the stand owner, saying, "If Commander Lin Hao does not believe me, you may ask this owner and see if what Shen says is true or not?"
Suddenly, all eyes in the trading area were drawn towards the stand owner, causing him to feel a bit excited, with a subtle change of mind that nobody knew about.
Hearing Shen Wannian say this, Yun Xiao’s face looked a bit ugly. Payment additions like these actually shouldn’t count as part of the trade, Shen Wannian is indeed an extremely formidable character.
"Wu Xian, what exactly is going on? Speak up!"
Commander Lin Hao did have some recollection of this stand owner, but it wasn’t a good one. He knew this owner was notorious for cheating and swindling; numerous Cultivators who were tricked had complained to him, the manager of this trading area, causing him quite a few dilemmas.
However, as far as trading goods went, what mattered was one’s judgment. As long as the cash and goods were settled, it was a case of a willing seller and a willing buyer. If you fell for Wu Xian’s trickery, then it’s buying without backing out; even finding Lin Hao would be useless.
Thus, the Commander had turned a blind eye to Wu Xian’s deeds; after all, losing a bit of money was not that big a deal. Learning from a bad experience was beneficial—this, in some sense, was good for those deceived Cultivators.
Yet today, the matter escalated, bringing the entire trading area to a near standstill, everyone gathered to watch the spectacle, and it even involved two prominent figures from the Countries Hidden Dragon Conference. Lin Hao simply could not ignore this.
Lin Hao believed that in such a big public setting, if Wu Xian wanted to continue operating in the trading area of Moon Cool City, he would absolutely not dare to lie to him and could only tell the truth.
"Reporting to Commander Lin Hao, indeed, these 200,000 Gold Coins were... solely the price for the Dragon Seeking Divine Stone!"
