Dragon's Origin

Chapter 87: Acting on One's Own (Part 1)

Wang Sheng bought a small courtyard with a small shop facing the street, three small rooms plus a kitchen, for three thousand gold coins. This was the market price.

Next to the warehouse, Wang Sheng burned down fifteen rooms belonging to someone else. They were of various sizes, and according to the market price, it would cost more than ten thousand, less than twenty thousand gold coins. Wang Sheng also promised double compensation, which would require forty thousand gold coins.

Although Wang Sheng earned several thousand gold coins from selling the leg meat of the tusked wild boar, it was only enough to earn back the cost of his own courtyard. Later, although the tusks of the tusked wild boar were sold for twenty thousand gold coins, they were directly exchanged for pills. It can be said that Wang Sheng now only has three thousand gold coins on hand, which is definitely not enough to repay the debt.

"A penny can bring down a hero." As the saying goes, you really can't just go around causing trouble. Wang Sheng shook his head and sighed. Under the gaze of several guys who were eagerly waiting to see him in a difficult situation and unable to pay, ready to help him out to gain favor, he casually took out two nearly two-foot-long teeth and placed them in front of the staff of the assassin hall.

This is Worry-Free City, where if you don't have gold coins, you are allowed to use things of equivalent value to pay. Anyway, the largest auction house and the assassin hall in Worry-Free City both belong to the City Lord, and these things can be cashed out as long as they are confirmed to be genuine.

The staff member had seen this kind of thing many times and was not surprised. He skillfully followed the procedure and invited the appraiser stationed there. No matter what you want to accept, the appraiser needs to make a conclusion first.

"Brother Wang, the tusks of the tusked wild boar are good, but they are not worth twenty thousand gold coins each." The little fatty next to him, who seemed to have come over by chance but was actually paying attention to Wang Sheng, took two steps forward and said to Wang Sheng with a smile: "If Brother Wang doesn't have enough, I can help you out here. Brother Wang only needs to pay a little bit of interest. I wonder what Brother Wang thinks?"

"Oh? A lender?" Wang Sheng cupped his hands slightly towards the other party. The other party came over with goodwill, and Wang Sheng was not ignorant and rejected him outright: "Okay! I'll see how much is still owed later. If there is a big difference, I will have to trouble you, brother."

The two of them were talking happily here, but before they could continue, they heard a harsh and mean voice.

"You want to swindle forty thousand gold coins with two teeth? Do you think our Worry-Free City is a charity hall or easy to fool?" As the voice rang out, two people walked out from the back of the hall. One was the staff member who handled the formalities for Wang Sheng, and the other was a guy who looked sharp-mouthed, monkey-cheeked, and rat-eyed.

The acrimonious voice was obviously from this wretched-looking guy. He was dressed in gorgeous clothing, but his frame was not big, and he looked like a big monkey wearing a coat. To use an idiom that Wang Sheng was familiar with, it was a monkey wearing a hat.

In the two days that Wang Sheng had been in Worry-Free City, he had never seen anyone with a bad attitude among the strangers he had met, except for the rookie assassin from another place who didn't know the immensity of heaven and earth yesterday who dared to ridicule him, and the three bald guys who provoke him. As the saying goes, who knows what level of assassin that stranger is? Isn't it courting death to offend someone for nothing?

Especially the staff of the assassin hall, their attitude was as good as it could be. Even the one just now had been smiling and speaking kindly, but this wretched guy was the first one Wang Sheng had seen who had this kind of attitude before even meeting him.

Of course, Wang Sheng didn't expect the entire Worry-Free City to be good to him. That's not realistic. However, since this guy works in the assassin hall and serves as an appraiser, he should know what's important. How could he behave so badly?

"Appraiser, the quality of your things depends entirely on his word." The fatty next to him reminded Wang Sheng in a very low voice: "He's from the City Lord's Mansion."

So that's how it is. The only force in Worry-Free City that can be arrogant is probably the City Lord's Mansion. The entire Worry-Free City is under the protection of the City Lord, and it can be said that the City Lord is the king of Worry-Free City, with the power of life and death.

Under these circumstances, people from the City Lord's Mansion are naturally arrogant. Moreover, they also control the power of appraisal, so naturally everyone tries to curry favor with them. It's not surprising that they behave so arrogantly.

The staff member didn't dare to be as arrogant as the appraiser. He trotted over, carried a chair for the appraiser, diligently invited him to sit down, and had to take the time to give Wang Sheng an apologetic smile, busy as a bee.

The appraiser, however, looked down his nose at everyone, not even looking at Wang Sheng on the opposite side. He sat down on his own, crossed his legs, and then hummed and stretched out his hand, slowly nonchalantly shouted loudly: "What do you want to appraise? Let me see it?"

Damn it, this guy is definitely doing it on purpose. He just said that two teeth could be exchanged for forty thousand gold coins, but now he has to ask loudly in front of so many people what he wants to appraise. He is clearly deliberately embarrassing Wang Sheng. If what Wang Sheng takes out is not worth forty thousand gold coins, it is estimated that this guy will directly poisonous tongue ridicule Wang Sheng to death.

The appraiser dares to put on airs, but the staff member doesn't dare to do so even if he is beaten to death. He hurriedly held the two long teeth that Wang Sheng took out with both hands, first sending one to the appraiser. While doing this, he cursed wildly in his heart. What madness did this guy go into today? Doesn't he know that the person in front of him is capable of easily killing fourth and fifth level masters? How dare you, a mere second level appraiser, act like this in front of him?

Wang Sheng has a good temper, and this kind of person is not worth arguing with. Anyway, once he's done with his business, he won't have any interaction with him, so there's no need to argue here.

As soon as the long tooth was in his hand, the appraiser felt that it was extraordinary. He was arrogant and put on airs, but he was absolutely competent as an appraiser, otherwise he would not have gained a foothold in the City Lord's Mansion.

Who Wang Sheng is, the appraiser has of course heard a little about, but he went to bed early last night and came to the assassin hall early this morning, and didn't know what happened last night. Some of the staff knew and some didn't, but no one would tell him. This guy puts on airs, and the small staff don't take him seriously.

He only knew that Wang Sheng came from the Thousand Absolutes Land, and also got rid of a lot of experts' pursuit, and he didn't know more. But yesterday there was a rumor in the City Lord's Mansion that the City Lord seemed to be a little dissatisfied with Wang Sheng and wanted to warn him. Since this is the case, he will have to take the opportunity to suppress Wang Sheng today, so that he knows that even if he can come out of Thousand Absolutes Land, the City Lord still has the final say in Worry-Free City.

At first, the appraiser thought that this was the tusk of the tusked wild boar. After all, Wang Sheng carried a hind leg of the tusked wild boar into the city, which was widely spread. Since he can have a hind leg, it is normal to have tusks. The tusked wild boar has two tusks, and Wang Sheng wants to exchange two tusks of the tusked wild boar for 40,000 gold coins.

This is impossible, it's definitely not worth it. With this confidence, he dared to be cold and sarcastic to Wang Sheng and didn't take him seriously. But now, he has found trouble.
