Chapter 1272 - 1272: Jade Shop Owner's True Identity
The elder finally revealed his true identity, and before he did so, he activated the sealed tactical formation for the shop to prevent anyone outside from knowing what was going on inside.
"Master Elder, I think you must have misunderstood us. We have no ulterior purpose. I just want to buy some jade. If you don't believe me, you can ask this man how much jade I bought before coming to your shop."
Although the elder had released a huge amount of killing intent and pressure to suppress Zheng-Fu and the agent, the two of them were not affected at all. Zheng-Fu could easily reply to the elder without any suffering.
Ah…
Of course, the elder knew that something went wrong. If neither of them were the advanced Great Deity Stage masters, they would not be able to withstand his killing intent and pressure. But what he saw was that the young man in front of him still spoke so easily under such circumstances. That showed how strong he was.
Seeing that, the elder withdrew his killing intent and pressure before speaking with a serious face, "I don't know who you are or what you want. But I suggest you leave here, or don't blame me for not warning you." The elder knew that if he had to fight the young man, all his plans would be ruined, so he had to take a step back.
"You're not right to threaten me, Master Elder. And I don't like it when someone threatens me!"
Booooooom!!!
Groooaaan!!!
Ah!
You...
After Zheng-Fu exploded his energy, the elder's expression changed immediately. He could feel that Zheng-Fu's strength was not inferior to his, maybe even stronger.
You guys...!
Suddenly, the agent who was also at the scene spoke up in fear. Although he was not strong, he knew how strong the elder and the young man who was his client were. Their strengths were comparable to those of the major clan leaders in the capital.
"It seems that you know too much."
Ah!
Master!
"Please spare my life. I really don't know anything. Please, Master. I still have a family to take care of. Don't kill me!"
The agent broke out in a cold sweat upon hearing Zheng-Fu's words. He felt extremely scared at that moment because he was no different from a little chick in the young man's hand.
"I won't kill you, I just..."
Blop!
Ah!
"I just need to erase your memories of what happened!"
Zheng-Fu did not intend to kill the agent. He just needed to erase some of the agent's memories, so he used Oblivion Powder, which had the effect of erasing people's memories from a certain period before. The effect was not great, but it was enough to make the agent forget everything that had happened since they entered this jade shop.
"Little Comrade, I don't know what your purpose is. If you didn't come with malicious intent, then I apologize for being rude just now. But if you have come to destroy my plans, then I'm ready to trade my life for yours!"
The elder knew that defeating the young man in front of him would not be easy. But even so, he was confident that he could defeat Zheng-Fu. However, he might have to risk his life, which would not be a good thing. Because if he died, his plan would be ruined, and the people behind it would be executed and die with him. So, he thought of trying to negotiate with Zheng-Fu.
"Master Elder! I don't know what you're planning to do, because it has nothing to do with me. Besides, I have already told you that I came here to buy jade, but it was you who didn't believe my words and caused this to happen. However, at this moment…, I'm starting to wonder what exactly your plan is. It's really strange for a human with such a high energy level to be hiding in the Demon Race's capital, right?"
Hah!
You know this!?
Elder was shocked when he was caught pretending to be a Demon Race. But even though he was found out, he was still able to control his emotions and expressions back to normal before speaking, "You're a human too, right?"
"Yes! I'm a human too. Only I used some techniques to change my aura and appearance to be like a Demon Race. As for the reason, I can't tell you why," Zheng-Fu answered Elder honestly that he was a human, not someone from the Demon Race. But he did not tell me the reason for doing that because it was a personal matter.
Umm...
The elder finally understood why he felt that this young man was different from the Demon Race. He had guessed from the beginning that it must have been like this, but he was not sure until he heard it from Zheng-Fu himself.
"Little Comrade, may I ask you which clan you're from? Because, as far as I know, no one from the human clan is this strong. Or are you not from this continent but from another land?" The elder asked with a thoughtful expression before he widened his eyes as if he had figured something out and spoke up quite excitedly, "Oh, that must be it! You must have come here through the White Tiger Testing Tower, right?"
Hah!
"Or do you also..."
At that moment, when the elder spoke about the White Tiger Testing Tower, or the 'Nine Hells and Seven Celestial Heavens Testing Tower' at this time, the feelings of both of them had changed.
"I never thought that I would meet an outsider like me. By the way, how long have you been here? A hundred years, two hundred years, or even more?"
When the elder knew that Zheng-Fu was also someone from the outside world, he felt extremely excited and happy. It made him forget all about what had happened before and just ask Zheng-Fu a lot of questions.
"Please slow down, Master Elder. I think we should handle other matters first and talk about it later!"
Zheng-Fu also had many questions he wanted to ask the elder, but it was not the right time to talk. The agent was still there, and the effects of Oblivion Powder would end soon, so they had to deal with this matter first.
Umm!
"I understand! By the way, are the people outside your comrades?"
No!
"Good! Today, I'll take this opportunity to eliminate the worms that are eating my vegetables."
Whooooosh!!!
"Wait, Master Elder! If you kill those people today, I'm afraid they'll bring trouble to us. Let them go for now!"
Ah!
Zheng-Fu thought it over again and decided to let those people go. If he let the elder kill them today, it might bring trouble to him. When the elder heard that, he nodded in understanding before slowly lowering his hands, not doing anything to them.
"Today, I'll go back first. There will be an auction held by the God of Jade Shop tomorrow. I hope you'll join me in the auction!"
Zheng-Fu thought that he should not stay there anymore, so he excused himself to go back. And he made an appointment to meet the elder again the next day at the auction.
Umm!
"No problem, I'll definitely go see you," the elder immediately agreed. He had many things he wanted to talk to Zheng-Fu about, so he did not let the opportunity pass him by.
After a while…
Erm!
"Master, I think a small jade shop like this should not be… Huh? Where are we? It's not like we…"
"What are you complaining about? I told you that I changed my mind and did not want to go into that small jade shop. Why are you still talking about this?"
Hah!
Sorry, Master!
"My brain isn't good, so I'm forgetful like this!"
The agent felt completely dazed at that moment. He remembered that he had just brought Zheng-Fu to the front of a small jade shop. But why did they suddenly end up in the middle of an intersection before reaching the Trading Area exit? No matter how much he wondered, he did not dare to contradict Zheng-Fu and had to play along with his role.
"All right! I got what I wanted today, and this is the extra money for your good work!"
Zheng-Fu nodded slightly before handing some money to Agent Bao-Biao. He wanted to return to the tavern, so he no longer needed the agent to guide him.
Ah!
"Master, I have already received a lot of shares from introducing products to you. I can't accept this money, otherwise…"
"I told you to take it! Didn't you hear me clearly?"
Erm… Thank you so much, sir, Master!
After giving the money to the agent, Zheng-Fu left the Trading Area and immediately returned to the tavern where he was staying. On the way back, he did not meet anyone blocking his way or bothering him. The people who had been secretly stalking him just followed him from a distance. When he arrived at the tavern, they left.
In Zheng-Fu's room at the tavern…
"It seems I'll have to pay a visit to the comrades who have been following me. Let me see who you guys are!"
After entering the room and finding that all of those who were stalking him had left, Zheng-Fu changed into a black robe that concealed his face. He then summoned a clone figure of himself and ordered him to stay in the room so as not to raise suspicion in case someone came looking for him there.
Flap!
"You're here. Don't take action unless necessary!"
Mhm! Mhm!
The clone figure nodded at Zheng-Fu before he walked over to sit on a chair and picked up a book to pretend to read, but in reality, he was just sitting there looking.
Good!
Whoooosh!!!
The first target Zheng-Fu chose to visit was the two middle-aged men who had been keeping an eye on him since the beginning, before the other groups came to stalk him. Because those two men were the first to pay attention to him, Zheng-Fu thought it would be disrespectful if he did not visit their place before going to the others'.
A few minutes later, at the entrance of Men Clan…
Thump!
Sigh…
"Because of the destruction of the demon monster beast confinement area, such a commotion has occurred!"
"Why are you complaining? Even if this didn't happen, you would still be on duty guarding the gate."
"Can't I complain a little? This is already our second day on duty, and we still have four more days before we can rest. If I had known it would be like this, I'd have played hard with that number two girl that night!"
"Do you still dare to say that you didn't play hard with her? You didn't rest all night like that, it's already good enough that she didn't die!"
"Just that! Humans are so fragile. If it weren't for their fair and beautiful skin…, I wouldn't have touched them!"
Shh!
"Lower your voice! Someone might hear you!"
"So what? It's not just our Men Clan that's doing this; many clans are doing it too!"
You!
As Zheng-Fu arrived at the entrance of Men Clan, he happened to overhear the conversation between the two guards. What they were talking about seemed to be about having fun with the female slaves from the Human Race that they had bought or captured.
'You filthy bastards! You guys are truly scum!'
