Puzzled, Wang Xiao took out his communicator and realized that it was Ma Yunle’s number. He immediately pressed the answer button and placed it to his ear. “Senior Ma? It’s so late...
“Help!”
Suddenly, Wang Xiao and Tang Longji’s expressions turned cold.
After returning to his senses, Wang Xiao hurriedly asked, “Senior Ma! What happened? Where are you?”
“I’m at... Market East... Sixth Street... Come and save me!”
Ma Yunle’s voice was intermittent, as if he was being chased by someone and was already out of breath from running.
Although Tang Longji did not know Ma Yunle, he could tell that the situation was urgent. He thought for a moment and said, “I know that location! Follow me!”
With that said, Tang Longji had already rushed out. Wang Xiao hurriedly asked Ma Yunle to hold on and then chased after him.
There were not many people in the trading market late at night. In addition, the Lord’s Shop was near the East District. The two of them quickly arrived at Sixth Street, but they did not see Ma Yunle.
Wang Xiao looked around. “Could he have already run far away?”
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw a figure running over from afar. It was dim and the other party’s appearance could not be seen clearly, but his heavy breathing could be heard dozens of meters away.
Immediately after, two more figures chased after them from behind. Similarly, their appearances could not be seen clearly, but the two of them ran in the same posture. It could be seen that they had quite a tacit understanding.
In this moment of daze, the figure in front of him had already arrived. Only then did Wang Xiao recognize that it was Ma Yunle.
At this moment, Ma Yunle also saw Wang Xiao. His expression was delighted as if he had seen his family. Before he could stabilize himself, he shouted,” Brother Wang! Help!”
As he spoke, Ma Yunle tripped and immediately fell forward. Wang Xiao quickly supported him and shouted to his side, “Uncle Tang!”
“They’re here!”
Tang Longji complied and strode forward. He frowned at the two pursuers and asked coldly, “Who are you? Why are you chasing him?”
Seeing the burly Tang Longji, the two of them immediately stopped. One of them panted and said, “My name is Lang Lina. This is my brother, Lang Buli. As for why we’re chasing him... Let him say it himself!”
Ma Yunle seemed to have exhausted his strength and was already paralyzed on the ground. When he heard this, he explained breathlessly, “What do I have to say? That item was originally of broken quality. I already said that it might not be usable. If you insist on buying it, what can I do?”
“You think you’re still in the right?!”
Lang Lina glared and was about to step forward, but Tang Longji raised his hand and stopped him.
Wang Xiao took the opportunity to look at Ma Yunle. “What happened? What broken quality item?”
“This is it!”
As Lang Buli spoke, he took out a long whip and threw it out. “He said that this is a broken orange item with beast souls inside. Once it’s activated, it’s extremely powerful. In the end, when we tried it in the secret realm, there was nothing inside! ”
Wang Xiao took out the [Identification Scroll] and tore it open. The information of the long whip appeared.
[Nine Dragon Whip]
[Orange (Broken)]
[It’s woven from the tendons of nine types of mutated beasts. It has nine attribute attacks.]
[Remark: As the meat tendons need to be extracted alive, the vengeful spirits of the mutated beasts that die tragically will attach to it. While it’s extremely powerful, it will also cause a huge backlash to the user. Please use it carefully.]
“Hmm...’
Seeing the introduction of this item, Wang Xiao immediately sucked in a cold breath. Perhaps because he was a beast tamer lord, when he saw that the meat tendon needed to be extracted alive, he actually felt a chill run down his spine!
However, putting aside the cruelty of the production method, this was indeed a powerful item. Especially since it had nine attribute attacks, its power might be a little low for a orange quality item.
After taking a few deep breaths to calm himself down, Wang Xiao looked at the two brothers opposite him. “I’ve checked this item. There’s no problem.. Moreover, a broken quality item can’t be guaranteed to be usable. Didn’t he tell you about the risk?”
As soon as he finished speaking, Ma Yunle added, “I already told them that this item might not be usable, but they insisted on buying it and even offered a price themselves. How can I not do business?”
Hearing the word “offer”, the two brothers opposite him became agitated again.
Lang Buli spat and said angrily, “You still have the cheek to say that? We asked someone! This item is very damaged and the market price is only about 100,000 star coins. How much did you charge us?”
Ma Yunle was speechless for a moment. After a moment, he said in a voice not much louder than a mosquito, “Two, two million...’
“What?!”
Wang Xiao exclaimed. Tang Longji also widened his eyes in shock. Although they were here to save Ma Yunle, they could not stand it anymore.
For him to sell something that was worth 100,000 star coins at 20 times the market price, even if they were the two brothers, they would still fall out! seemg tnat wang xlao’s reaction was wrong, ma Yume nurr1ea1Y explamea, “Brother Wang, listen to my explanation! The two million star coins was quoted by them themselves! I...”
Before he could finish, Lang Lina shouted again, “Even if we offered a price, you clearly know that it’s not worth that much. Why didn’t you correct us?!” “You seem to be joking. I’m a broker, so why shouldn’t I earn money?”
“You’ve cheated us!”
“This is called business! Just treat it as paying for a lesson!”
“I’ll teach you a lesson now!”
As the two sides spoke, they started arguing. If Tang Longji hadn’t stopped them in the middle, they would probably have already started fighting.
Wang Xiao looked at this scene and suddenly felt a little tired.
Logically speaking, Ma Yunle was not wrong in this matter. Transactions were meant to be one-sided. Wang Xiao had also bought many expensive things in the past.
However, the difference of 20 times was indeed too much.
Frowning and thinking for a moment, Wang Xiao suddenly shouted, “Stop arguing!”
Both sides stopped talking in confusion. Wang Xiao took a few steps forward and picked up the [Nine Dragon Whip]. He looked at the two brothers and asked, “I’ll give you two million yuan. The item will belong to me. What do you think?”
Before the two brothers could speak, Ma Yunle shouted, “No! Go out and ask around. I, Ma Yunle, have never returned the things I sold! I...”
“Shut up!”
Wang Xiao glared at Ma Yunle and then looked at the two brothers opposite him. “If you agree, I can transfer the money now.”
The two brothers looked at each other. In the end, Lang Buli nodded. “Sure.”
“Open your trading interface!”
As Wang Xiao spoke, he opened the interface and took a few steps forward. When he approached, he realized that they were actually twin brothers. Not only were their facial features similar, but even their hairstyles and clothes were identical. It was extremely difficult to distinguish them when they stood together.
At the same time, the two brothers also saw Wang Xiao’s appearance clearly. One of them frowned. “You’re Wang Xiao?”
Wang Xiao was focused on inputting the amount. When he heard this, he was immediately stunned. “You know me?”
The two brothers did not say anything.. After looking at each other, they actually turned around and ran!
