91: Dinner

Still not admitting defeat?

This was everyone's first thought.

However, for Liu Jiangyi, the show had just begun!

Boom!

A red pillar of light suddenly shot into the sky, carrying boundless Evil Qi, spreading in all directions!

The sudden anomaly startled everyone, causing them to widen their eyes and quickly look in the direction from which the anomaly came.

The next moment!

Everyone was stunned!

The direction where this anomaly appeared was precisely the stone Liu Jiangyi had chosen.

The stone was opened, and a blood-red iron piece appeared in everyone's sight.

That towering bloody Qi was clearly erupting from this iron piece.

Bloody Qi permeated, Evil Qi was oppressive, and a terrifying Aura, like a Devil King descending upon the world, made everyone feel an impulse to kneel.

After three seconds, this Aura began to disappear.

All the Killing Intent and bloody Qi were actually reabsorbed by the iron piece.

It was as if the anomaly just now was merely the iron piece announcing to the world that it had reappeared!

“This… what is this thing? How can it have such terrifying power?”

“It looks like a broken piece of something?”

“Holy crap! Just a broken piece has such an Aura, the main body of this thing must be at least Ninth-Rank, right?”

“Ninth-Rank? Holy crap! That’s something that only exists in legends. If this thing is truly a part of a Ninth-Rank item, its value is immeasurable!”

“There’s such a divine object in that rotten stepping stone? This kid hit the jackpot!”

The boss's wide-open eyes looked as if he had seen a ghost.

He absolutely could not believe that the broken stone Liu Jiangyi had chosen contained such a Heaven-Defying object.

It could be said.

All the things he had here, plus all the energy liquid on the ground, might not be as valuable as this one item!

The boss stepped forward and snatched the iron piece into his hand.

“What do you mean?” Liu Jiangyi's expression changed as he questioned.

“Heh heh, what do I mean?” The boss said shamelessly, “This item is priceless. You think you can buy it with just one energy stone?”

“Not a chance!”

“Heh heh, so you’re planning to seize it by force?” Liu Jiangyi sneered.

“Damn it! This boss is playing this card?”

“If he does business like this, who would dare to gamble here in the future?”

“Gamble my ass! If this thing is sold, he won’t have to work hard for the rest of his life, so why bother with business?”

“Holy crap! That makes sense, then this boss is going to lose big time!”

“Nonsense, otherwise, why would he be so shameless? If it were me, I’d be shameless too!”

The boss pointed at the primordial stone on the ground, “I’ll count this round as your win. All the primordial stone on the ground is yours, but I want this iron piece!”

“Joke!” Liu Jiangyi coldly shouted, “This primordial stone was bought with my money, and you’ve already lost the bet.”

“Whether it’s this iron piece or these stones on the ground, they all belong to me.”

“So you’re not planning to give in?” The boss’s expression grew increasingly sinister.

Even though he knew his actions were inappropriate.

He also knew that Liu Jiangyi might be extraordinary.

But he understood the principle of seeking wealth in danger.

This iron piece was simply too rare, and it came from a stone at his stall.

How could he give it up?

He was now regretting it to death.

If he had known there was such a divine object in this stone, he would never have sold it to Liu Jiangyi!

“Nonsense, everything is mine, why should I give it to you?” Liu Jiangyi refused to back down.

“Good! Then don’t blame me for being impolite!”

The boss waved his hand, and his Man immediately rushed out.

The lowest-ranked among these Man were Ninth-Rank Martial Artists, and more than half of them were Martial Arts Grandmasters!

One of them had even reached the terrifying cultivation of a Grandmaster at the seventh level.

It made sense.

Doing this kind of stone gambling business, it was inevitable to encounter some unruly customers.

Moreover, the boss also dealt in fake primordial stone, which was an illegal activity to begin with.

If he didn't employ some strong enforcers, how could this business continue?

“Seeking death!”

Ya Ya stepped forward, ready to act.

“Hey, why do it yourself?”

Liu Jiangyi pulled Ya Ya back, saying playfully, “I’ll ask you one last time, are you sure you want to renege on the debt and fight me?”

“Nonsense!” The boss said sinisterly, “You two upstarts in animal skins, I’m just going to rip you off. What can you do?”

“If you’re not convinced, come fight. If you kill me, I’ll settle it with money in minutes. Who can do anything to me?”

“Tianjiang City isn’t lawless. If you do this, aren’t you afraid I’ll call the Law Enforcement Bureau?”

“Hahahahaha, are you a fucking idiot?” The boss laughed even louder, “I do this kind of business, is it possible that the Law Enforcement Bureau doesn’t have anyone?”

“Go ahead and try calling!”

“Alright, I’ll try.” Liu Jiangyi smiled even more playfully, took out his phone, and made a call.

Seeing this, the boss also quickly took out his phone and made a call.

A moment later, the boss hung up the phone and said smugly, “My people will be here soon. You open your dog eyes and watch carefully, whether they listen to you or to me!”

“Tsk tsk, whatever you say.” Liu Jiangyi shrugged and sat down on a nearby chair.

Ya Ya bared her little fangs and clicked her tongue, a hint of sympathy in her eyes as she looked at the boss.

“You fool, you’ve really kicked an iron plate this time.”

However.

Neither the boss nor the surrounding crowd took Ya Ya’s words to heart at all.

“Sigh, this kid indeed has good luck, but it’s a pity he offended someone he shouldn’t have.”

“Yeah, how can a boss who runs a stone gambling business be a Mortal? If he doesn’t want to die, he should just admit defeat obediently.”

“Calling the Law Enforcement Bureau? Doesn’t he know that the Law Enforcement Bureau always sides with the powerful? He has no power or influence, how could he possibly get the Law Enforcement Bureau to speak for him?”

“Just watch, when the Law Enforcement Bureau arrives, this old guy will only regret it more. Maybe he’ll even be taken back by the Law Enforcement Bureau for torture, then accused of a fabricated crime, forcing him to hand over all the energy liquid in his pockets.”

“…”

Just as everyone was discussing.

Da da da…

A dense sound of horse hooves came from the end of the street.

“Law Enforcement Bureau on official business, everyone move aside!”

Six Law Enforcement Bureau personnel, riding tall Blue Flame Horses, rushed over aggressively.

The leader was a man in his thirties.

The man had a square face and a full beard, which gave him a feeling of overflowing righteousness.

“Who reported the case?”

The man immediately questioned upon dismounting.

Liu Jiangyi stood up and walked over, “I reported the case. That guy and I made a bet, and then…”

Liu Jiangyi quickly recounted everything that had just happened.

“Is that so?”

The man looked at the boss and asked.

The boss immediately showed a fawning expression, hurried forward, and, right in front of Liu Jiangyi, stuffed a handful of energy liquid into the man’s hand.

“Captain Wang, you know how honest I am in business, don’t you?”

“This kid is completely slandering me!”

“He came here to eat and run, not only did he not pay, but he also tried to snatch my things. Everyone around here can testify for me!”
