"What is this storm?" ask Jason who came to Adam's lap. The man just saw a commotion in Adam's stable. As a guard, Jason needs to see what really happened.

Moreover, Adam had already given her a pomade for free. Of course Jason didn't let Adam's newly opened stall be targeted by irresponsible people.

"Oh apparently you're Jason. You need to catch this young man. He is very disrespectful to older people. Not only that, I'm sure he's selling in this place without any permission" Parsley Wood said confidently.

The man did not see anyone else near Adam's stable. That means, he came alone here. Parsley Wood is sure no one told Adam that he needed to pay some money if he wanted to sell here.

Basic information such as the cost to use the portal only Adam did not know. It must be a matter of paying money to be able to get a permit to sell, this man will never know.

If Jason catches Adam, there's a good chance that all of Adam's belongings will be confiscated. There Parsley Wood plans to find a loophole to get the items Adam brought.

Parsley Wood could see that the new stuff Adam brought was quite unique. Not only that, he noticed the presence of five watches, which looked different from before. If he got all that, then the profit he could get if he resold it, would be huge.

The corner of Adam's lips lifted slightly after hearing Parsley Wood's words. He did not expect that this man would consider him so stupid. Did he label his place of origin as a backward place so that there were no rules like this?

That's very unlikely. On the Blue Planet, there are rules. Selling also needs to have a permit. In fact, they need to pay taxes for every item they sell. Adam certainly needs to find out if this place has such a rule. Fortunately, Adam had already made the preparations.

Jason looked at Parsley with a strange look. He seemed to think the man was a fool by telling him to arrest Adam for such a reason. When he wanted to open his voice, Jason saw Adam blink one eye, giving a code.

This made Jason choose to shut up and see what Adam would do after this. The man was sure Adam still wanted to say something in self-defense.

"Sorry, Mr. Parsley. Where am I being disrespectful to you? Is it because I don't want to sell my things to you?" ask Adam sarcas.

"I think you're the one who's disrespectful, Mr. Parsley. You said that Duke George was stupid because he wanted to buy used goods at a price that was quite expensive. How dare you insult a Duke like that. He is a noble who needs to be respected."

"Now, you accuse me of being disrespectful when you are being disrespectful yourself. Aren't you ashamed to say that, Mr Parsley?"

Jason's previously ordinary face immediately turned serious. He looked at Parsley who now looked angry. As a Red Stone City guard, Jason worked under Duke George. He couldn't let someone insult Duke George like that.

"This is not true Jason. I never said anything like that. Don't believe the words of this young man. He is a fraud" said Parsley in a high tone.

"I'm not lying at all Mr. Jason. A week ago, I got lost in this town. I am separated from my company. I didn't bring a penny with me. To get home, I sold a watch given by my late grandfather. I sold it to Mr. Parsley for one hundred and ten Kyra's gold."

"I had absolutely no choice and sold the gift from my grandfather to go home. However, I heard that Mr. Parsley sold the watch for two thousand Kyra gold. And now, he's turned to me that Duke George is so stupid for buying a twelve watch for that price" Adam said.

Adam knew this was a double-edged sword. Not everything he said was the truth. He could attack Parsley Wood with these words. However, he could also be hit by a backlash if it was discovered that Parsley Wood did not insult Duke George at all.

However, compared to Parsley Wood who now looks angry and can not control his emotions, Adam believes he who looks calm is easier to believe. Moreover, Adam explained all this smoothly, without seeing that he was making things up with everything he said.

"It's all a lie, Jason. Don't believe the words of this young man. He attacked me. This ungrateful child attacked me. I've helped him and now he won't sell me his stuff! Get him Jason! Catch her!" parsley Wood is no longer calm.

"What's this?" ask Baron Anderson who just came back after taking the money. He did not expect Adam's stalls were now quite crowded. However, it was not crowded because of the customers, but because of a commotion.

"Baron Anderson, you previously told me that Duke George bought a watch for two thousand Kyra gold right?" ask Adam, who tried to involve Baron Anderson in this little debate.

"Yes. I heard from Duke George that his watch he bought at that price. Ah, didn't he buy it from you, Wood?" ask Baron Anderson.

"Then, how much for the watch you bought from me, Baron Anderson?" adam asked without giving Parsley the answer.

"Have you forgotten this, young man? The five watches cost five thousand three hundred and eighty gold Kyra. You asked me to pay you with gold coins, and not Benau Guerio's banknotes. It's a little troublesome for me because you're asking for such a payment. Here, your gold. Now, hand over the watch I bought earlier" Baron Anderson said.

"Of course, Baron Anderson. Buying directly from me would be much cheaper, right? Don't buy things like this from anyone else. It will make you suffer a great loss. As long as you know, Mr. Parsley just bought that watch from me for a hundred and ten gold Kyra. However, he sold them two thousand Kyra gold. That's an overpriced price increase, isn't it?"

Baron Anderson instantly widened his eyes hearing that. "That's too expensive. How can you do this Wood? You've cheated Duke George!" exclaim Baron Anderson.

Actually, there's no harm in Parsley raising prices that expensive. No one will blame him. Duke George wouldn't blame him if he knew that.

However, as Adam now announced aloud that the initial price of the watch was only one hundred and ten Kyra gold, it made Duke George look foolish for paying dearly for such a cheap item.

Without Adam making up the lie that Parsley had insulted Duke George even once, Parsley would still be considered to have insulted Duke George in such a way as to fool him.

"Mr Parsley, it looks like you should come with me to the guards' headquarters. There's something we need to discuss there" said Jason, who is now next to Parsley. The movement was quite fast, Adam did not know when the man was moving and was now near Parsley.

"I'm completely innocent. Don't arrest me. The young man is guilty. Jason, you're wrong to catch people" Parsley shouted as he tried to escape. However, Jason's strong grip made his efforts fruitless.

"You can explain all that later when the interrogation is done. Adam, I'm gonna take this guy away. You can continue your business in peace" Jason said, taking Parsley away.

Parsley's screams are still Adam's hearing. Some people also took notice of Parsley who was now dragged away by Jason.

"I didn't expect Wood to do that. Just for the sake of a moment's gain, he dared to insult Duke George" Baron Anderson said.

According to Baron Anderson, what Parsley did was wrong. He shouldn't have sold the watch too expensive. Maybe because he only wanted a moment's profit. If Duke Anderson was in Parsley's position, the advantage he took would not be too much.

Duke Anderson would buy quite a lot of watches from Adam and sell them elsewhere. Gains are few, but many, much more stable than gains are many, but only once.

"He showed the appearance of a good man. But I didn't think he was bad enough. I was fooled by him" said Adam.

Adam had no regrets about doing all this to Parsley Wood. The man who first started by asking Jason to catch him. Adam was tired of being quiet when he was bullied. Now, he would retaliate even more heavily to anyone who had bullied him.
