Chapter 27: Crooked Grass (3)
Three chests of gleaming gold entered the eyes of the envious spectators.
Ye Qingtang glanced at the gold before he picked up some, piece by piece, golden chunks the size of his palms, and dropped each one onto a table featuring Flora's moon rocks.
There was a clinking sound as each piece of gold landed on the counter, but Ye Qingtang remained indifferent to it. With narrowed eyes, he focused his gaze on the grim-looking Duan Tianrui, observing his dark-setting face as each sound echoed.
"It's thirty thousand gold, I bought Flora's moon rocks." As the last piece of gold numbering thirty thousand landed on the counter, Ye Qingtang made his statement with a smooth grin on his face, which nearly shattered the veins in Duan Tianrui.
Never in his wildest dreams did he anticipate that Ye Qingtang had such a trick up his sleeve.
Even without his coffers, not only did he manage to obtain the moon stone, he also committed a direct killing!
Regardless of his wise temperament, Duan Tianrui could not help but be angered by Ye Qingtang's provocation.
“Sorry, Mr. Duan. We work based on who comes first served. Moonstone Flora's ..." The manager, who owed Ye Qingtang a debt of gratitude for the discovery of Bent grass, was clearly standing beside him. He approached Duan Tianrui personally and asked him to return the moon stone, which he had played in his hands.
Duan Tianrui gritted his teeth silently and handed him the moon stone, which he had originally expected was in his pocket.
The manager handed the moonstone to Ye Qingtang in front of everyone and announced, "Miss Ye, this Flora moonstone is now yours."
Ye Qingtang raised an eyebrow and received the moon stone before glancing at Duan Tianrui.
That single glance was enough to push Duan Tianrui against the wall.
Think he's the one who ended up playing clowns!
“Yeah, congratulations on your new purchase, Miss Ye. I have things to watch and will move on. ” Duan Tianrui bit his lips before conveying his bureaucratic message and left, accompanied by his servants, with a tail between their legs.
Everyone was at a loss for words as no one expected this when the curtain fell.
“Nona Ye, if there is anything else you need, please feel free to ask. I'll excuse you for now. ” The manager smiled and offered Ye Qingtang his best hospitality.
Ye Qingtang nodded subtly, getting Flora's moon stone was a pleasant surprise, but there were more important items for her to find.
The manager left the boutique lobby and headed straight upstairs.
The door to the suite's attic on the top floor was tightly shut. The manager tidied up his clothes before politely knocking on the door.
"May I ask His Majesty's permission to enter?"
"Given."
The manager then opened the door calmly and entered the room.
The charismatic Mu Su sat by the table. The manager once closed the door behind him, kneeling in front of Mu Su, while he handed him a brocade box containing Bent grass.
"Your Majesty, we've managed to get Bent's grass."
Mu Su raised his eyebrows and received the box. After checking the contents, there was a satisfied smile on his face.
Who knew that the mysterious owner of the Treasure Pavilion, was none other than the famous Marquis of Luoxing City.
“Although this takes quite a long time, but you did it well.” Mu Su put down the box before praising the manager for his work.
The manager remained on his knees and replied respectfully, "I thank Your Majesty, for your graciousness."
Mu Su had just arrived in Lin City the night before. The manager was surprised by his sudden arrival because deep down, he was afraid of his presence. It was a blessing for him to get the Bent grass in time, otherwise, he would not dare to show himself in front of him.
Seriate....
