Chapter 106: Since You Are Cheating, Don’t Blame Me
“Shopkeeper, that’s unfair; this is clearly a high-grade magic stone, worth ten thousand junior magic stones,” Li Xiaojun frowned at the shopkeeper.
This shopkeeper really thought he was a fool.
Did he really believe that as a Tribulation stage powerhouse, Li Xiaojun couldn’t see his greed?
Hearing Li Xiaojun’s words, the shopkeeper showed a hint of embarrassment before his expression changed.
He signaled to the two young men inside the shop.
In the next moment, the two young men quickly closed the pawnshop’s door.
“What do you mean by this?” Li Xiaojun frowned.
“What do you mean? You, an ordinary person, brought a high-level magician’s stone; that’s clearly unreasonable.”
“Tell me, where did you steal this?” the shopkeeper scolded Li Xiaojun with a serious face.
Hearing this, Li Xiaojun laughed.
“So, you want to cheat a cheat?” Li Xiaojun asked the shopkeeper with a smile.
Noticing Li Xiaojun’s attitude, the shopkeeper frowned.
He didn’t understand why this ordinary person could still smile in such a situation.
He had just sensed that this young man had no magic power at all; he was definitely an ordinary person.
An ordinary person facing such a situation without any fear was a bit concerning.
Could it be that this young man had a powerful background? Was he being sent by someone else to exchange money?
But who would use such a precious high-grade magic stone to exchange for money meant for ordinary people? Was that insane?
After pondering, the shopkeeper tentatively said to Li Xiaojun, “Our pawnshop naturally does not engage in cheating. However, since this magic stone is of unknown origin, it is necessary for us to clarify its background. So, please tell me where you got this magic stone.”
He thought that if this young man had a powerful backing, he would consider purchasing the high-grade magic stone at market price.
Hearing the shopkeeper’s words, Li Xiaojun lightly replied, “I picked this up on the road. Just tell me if you will exchange money, and if not, give me back my magic stone.”
Upon hearing Li Xiaojun’s words, the shopkeeper’s expression was somewhat uncertain.
This high-grade magic stone was worth over ten million white crystal coins. If the other party had no background, he could simply eliminate this person and make a fortune.
However, seeing the young man’s fearless demeanor…
Suddenly, the shopkeeper keenly observed a hint of fear in the young man’s eyes.
Then, his spiritual power sensed that the young man’s heart was racing, and his calves were slightly trembling.
Goodness, this young man was trying to bluff him.
At that moment, the shopkeeper instantly understood.
He commanded the two young men outside the counter, “Grab him and take him to the backyard.”
Upon hearing this, the two young men immediately grabbed Li Xiaojun’s arms, lifting him effortlessly.
“What are you doing? What do you want?”
“I don’t want the magic stone anymore; please let me go,” Li Xiaojun pleaded.
“It’s too late.” The shopkeeper revealed a satisfied smile.
“What are you going to do to me?” Li Xiaojun quickly asked.
“What are we going to do? Nothing much, just make you disappear,” the shopkeeper waved his hand, signaling the two young men to take him away.
“It seems you really want to cheat a cheat.”
“Since you want to cheat, don’t blame me.”
Suddenly, a cold aura surged.
In the next moment, the young men holding Li Xiaojun’s arms were blasted away, turning into a mist of blood in mid-air.
Seeing this scene, the shopkeeper gaped in shock.
His eyes widened in fear when he looked at Li Xiaojun.
“My lord, I was wrong, I was wrong, please spare me…”
His voice abruptly stopped as his head suddenly appeared in Li Xiaojun’s hand.
Soul Searching.
A few seconds later, he threw the shopkeeper’s head to the ground.
In the next moment, Li Xiaojun appeared behind the pawnshop counter.
With a wave of his hand, he swept away all the money inside the counter.
Then, he went to the backyard, found a basement, and collected all the treasures inside.
As for other non-monetary items, like antiques or paintings, Li Xiaojun left them alone, as they held no value for him.
Moments later, Li Xiaojun’s figure appeared on the street.
“Shopkeeper, I bought all your candied hawthorns,” Li Xiaojun called to an elderly man selling them.
“Sir, you… you really…”
“Of course.”
Li Xiaojun pulled out a large handful of purple crystal coins from his "pocket."
“Hand me the candied hawthorns, and I’ll give you this money. Is it enough?”
One purple crystal coin was equivalent to ten blue crystal coins, or one hundred white crystal coins.
Li Xiaojun had about a dozen, worth over a thousand coins — enough to buy all the candied hawthorns.
“That’s enough! You are very generous, sir.”
Seeing the purple crystal coins, the old man handed over all the candied hawthorns, including the sticks they were on, right to Li Xiaojun.
Li Xiaojun also handed the purple crystal coins to the elderly man as agreed.
As Li Xiaojun took out the dozen purple crystal coins to buy the candied hawthorns,
not far away, a pair of little eyes spotted this scene.
This was a little girl, around twelve or thirteen years old. She was short and skinny, but her eyes were very bright.
After a moment, she felt a strong urge.
Her target was a young man holding the candied hawthorns, eating one while looking very wealthy in his luxurious clothes.
Most importantly, this wealthy young man had no guards around him.
The little girl walked quickly and lightly.
Soon, she reached the young man’s back.
She quickly reached out her hand.
After a moment, the little girl pulled out three purple crystal coins from the young man’s pocket.
Then, she turned and left.
Once the little girl walked away, Li Xiaojun surprisedly reached into his pocket to confirm that it was indeed filled with a bag of purple crystal coins.
In fact, Li Xiaojun had noticed the little girl from the beginning.
He could see that she was very malnourished and thin.
When he detected that the girl seemed to want to steal his money, Li Xiaojun intentionally filled his pocket with a bag of purple crystal coins.
To Li Xiaojun, ordinary people’s wealth was always insignificant.
He thought that if he could help this obviously malnourished girl, losing some money was not a big deal.
However, what surprised Li Xiaojun was that the girl only took three purple crystal coins from such a large bag, then turned and left without any hesitation.
This situation left Li Xiaojun very astonished.
