Chapter 748 No Evidence On The Table

Willie hated lies, especially the ones that were so ridiculous. Yet here he was, having to deal with such from the man who had shown up at his doorstep. "Butler Willie, have you finished? In my opinion, you don't have to pretend. Apparently, the Magical Beast House sold me a sick beast," the black-bearded man beat the gang and shouted impatiently. The man looked like someone who knew he was lying through his teeth. A fraud, trying to hustle the Magical Beast House out a healthy beast they had sold him. And the swindler was gutsy into the bargain. Even if he knew Willie could sniff out his lies, the ego would not let him apologize.

"Sir, don't worry. We'll finish in a minute. Go to the mansion and ask Master Harry to come here." Willie hesitated, before calling out with a worried face.

Soon, a young man in a green robe and square face walked in. He looked simple and honest, and his every move was steady.

"Master Harry, the customer bought this baby Heaven Prestigious Tiger from us the day before yesterday, but it fell ill, after only two days. Do you know what might have happened?" Willie asked.

The young man was Harry, a disciple of Raef. Raef usually accepted many disciples for training. But they only learned basic skills then left to start their own life. Some used the skills acquired under him, for sustenance, by treating beasts. Only a small number of disciples still stayed here to work for the Xiao Clan. Harry was one of those who stayed on. With his excellent work ethic, he put in extra effort, every day to study the art of Beast Curing Skill. As a result, Raef grew fond of him. Now he was the first beast tamer in the Magical Beast House.

"Okay." Harry nodded and went to check on the Heaven Prestigious Tiger.

"Master Harry is one of our promising disciples from the Xiao Clan who has also inherited many of our chief. He is the most skilled beast curer of our Magical Beast House. I'm sure he can tell what's wrong with your spirit-manipulated beast," Willie said to the man with a black beard on purpose, giving him a hint.

"Oh, really? Then let me see how powerful he is." Willie had intimidated the man into some semblance of sanity. But inside, the man was on pins and needles, especially from the time Harry ca

a simple issue. This fellow is smart as a whip. The method he used is very simple, but it might leave these so-called beast curers helpless, ' Rocky wondered to himself. Rocky really wanted to save the Heaven Prestigious Tiger's life, but he didn't want to expose himself.

"Don't waste time. I have more important things to attend to," the black-beard man thundered, like the excitable person he had been earlier. He seemed to have planned this for a long time. He immediately stood up from his seat, looking very angry.

"Wait a minute, sir!" Willie tried to pacify him.

"What are you waiting for? The Magical Beast House sold a sick beast to me, but you pretended to be innocent. Do you think I'm easy to bully? Forget it. I'm in a good mood today. I won't ask you for ten thousand taels. That's a lot of bucks that could leave holes in your pockets. So I'll just be a gentleman, and cut it down to five thousand," the man said as he raised his hand.

"But you checked the beast before I sold it to you. If it were a sick beast, you would have known, and wouldn't have taken it," Willie explained.

"Who knows if you had done something fishy to it before you sold?" retorted the man. It was apparent the guy had come here with malicious intentions. He did not even pause to understand what Willie was saying.

"You..." Although Willie was pretty sure that the man was a fraud, he couldn't bring any evidence on the table. Now, his face darkened at the thought of someone trying to swindle him.
