Dragon's Origin

Chapter 82: Even Thugs Dare to Be Arrogant (Part 1)

Wang Sheng would certainly not sell the hide of the Fanged Boar in a butcher shop. He would definitely take it to a place where it could fetch a good price, either an auction house or Baoqing Yutang or Yubao Zhai, or at the very least, exchange it for something he needed.

Several people had already expressed interest in buying it, but Wang Sheng refused them all. Everyone knew its value. The hide of a fifth-level realm beast would definitely make excellent protective gear. It would be foolish of Wang Sheng to sell it. If he did, the buyers would laugh at him. Wanting to buy such a good thing with gold coins? What a joke!

People got the meat of the fifth-level realm beast and began to disperse slowly, each pondering what method to use to cook it in order to maximize the meat's effect.

Wang Sheng was cleaning up the stall. With nothing left to sell, he could close up shop. However, before closing, Wang Sheng, in front of everyone, carefully cleaned the iron chopping board and meat hooks, even rinsing the ground twice to ensure no dead corners were left.

This was to create a unique brand for himself. Having lived in such a commercially developed society on Earth for so many years, Wang Sheng understood the importance of a brand. However, he didn't lack a brand now; Wang Sheng's name was the best brand. But he lacked a reputation.

What kind of reputation? In the meat selling business, Wang Sheng wanted to establish a reputation for cleanliness and hygiene. That's why he meticulously cleaned the chopping board and stall before taking out the meat and after selling it, leaving people with that kind of impression. In the future, whenever they thought of buying meat, regardless of the price, they would first think of coming to Wang Sheng's clean place to take a look.

While he was diligently wiping, *bang*, a fat palm slapped onto the iron chopping board that Wang Sheng had just wiped clean.

"Closed for the day, come early next time!" Wang Sheng said lazily without even looking up. As he spoke, he scooped up a ladle of boiling water and poured it over the spot that the guy had just slapped.

Three people had come. The one who slapped the chopping board was the bald guy in the middle, who looked the biggest, strongest, and fattest. His cultivation wasn't low, at least at the second-level realm. Although that wasn't much in Worry-Free City, he still had an advantage when facing Wang Sheng.

But no matter how high he was, he was only at the second-level realm, and he couldn't ignore boiling water poured on his hand. He had only wanted to get Wang Sheng's attention to test him, but Wang Sheng poured a ladle of boiling water over without regard. He had no choice but to jump back two steps to avoid being scalded by the boiling water.

"Did you ask our brothers before opening a shop here?" Seeing that Wang Sheng hadn't even looked up from beginning to end, the bald guy couldn't help but become furious and roared at Wang Sheng.

"What's your killer level?" Wang Sheng asked casually as he wiped.

"Second level, what's it to you?" The bald guy subconsciously replied, then immediately felt something was wrong and shouted angrily, "What do you mean?"

"I'm a fifth-level killer opening a shop, do I have to ask a second-level killer for permission first?" Wang Sheng finally looked up, reached out and pulled out the dagger from the corner of the chopping board, and slowly wiped it with a cloth. "Is this the rule of Worry-Free City's outer city, or the rule of the inner city?"

The bald guy was momentarily speechless. He was only ordered to test Wang Sheng, so he acted like a bully. He couldn't answer Wang Sheng's question at all.

How could he answer? Is this the rule of Worry-Free City? If he dared to say that, it was hard to say whether he could go home in one piece tonight. The entire Worry-Free City of killers would probably take the opportunity to ask him about this rule.

But if he said it wasn't a rule, then what business was it of his that Wang Sheng opened a shop? Besides, he had just remembered that Wang Sheng might really be a fifth-level killer. Did a high-level killer need to ask a low-level killer for permission to open a shop?

With Wang Sheng's dagger in his hand, the bald guy didn't dare to act rashly. He had seen the sharpness of that dagger from afar, and his own flesh wasn't as thick as that of a fifth-level Fanged Boar. If Wang Sheng wanted to kill him, he might not be able to gain the upper hand.

"I've taken a fancy to your hide." Unable to make things difficult for Wang Sheng with that question, the bald guy immediately changed his excuse. "I'll give you ten gold coins, and the hide is mine."

In front of the bald guy and the other two, Wang Sheng slowly rolled up the Fanged Boar hide and placed it behind him. The bald guy and the two strong men watched but didn't dare to act rashly. With so many people watching, they were a little embarrassed and angry.

Just as they were about to flare up, Wang Sheng turned back and beckoned to the bald guy. The bald guy was stunned. Was he telling him to come closer? He cautiously took two steps forward, making sure that even with the dagger, Wang Sheng couldn't reach him across the iron chopping board. Then he asked sternly, "What do you mean?"

"What I mean is, some games are boring to play." Wang Sheng leisurely straightened himself and said coldly to the bald guy, "If you want to know something, just come and ask, don't bother with that kind of trickery, it saves trouble. What do you say?"

"I don't understand what you're saying!" The bald guy wasn't stupid. He knew exactly what Wang Sheng was talking about, but he denied it. "I just took a fancy to your hide, are you selling it or not? Give me an answer."

There weren't many people watching, but there weren't few either. At least all the people monitoring Wang Sheng were there. In addition, there were some who were probably tired of cultivation, leaning against the door and watching from afar, probably treating it as a change of pace.

"You better be sensible, see clearly where this is, otherwise, you'll be in for a treat!" One of the big men next to him also threatened fiercely.

However, if these words had been said at the beginning, they might have had the aura of a bully oppressing someone. But since Wang Sheng said that he was a fifth-level killer and the bald guy was only second-level, the whole scene became extremely ridiculous.

Three killers who were at most second-level threatening a fifth-level killer? No matter how you looked at it, it made people want to laugh, even if Wang Sheng looked like an ordinary person and the three strong men looked like their cultivation was higher than Wang Sheng's.

This was Worry-Free City, where it wasn't about cultivation level, but about who could survive in the end. Obviously, the survival rate of a fifth-level killer was much higher than that of three second-level killers.

The three strong men obviously realized the problem as well, and for a moment, they didn't know what to do. They had no idea whether to force Wang Sheng to act or to retreat in disgrace. The bald leader could only secretly look in one direction, the direction where the person who had instructed them was located.

"I don't want to have trouble as soon as I arrive." Wang Sheng glanced in the direction of the bald guy's gaze, and basically confirmed which guy had instructed them. He sneered and said to the bald guy and the two big men, "But I'm definitely not afraid of trouble. If you don't want to die, get out of here now!"
