Chapter 423 When Shapeshifters Leaders Pick Up the Weapon of Law

The Shapeshifters leaders were almost going insane.

Smashing a corpse and getting such benefits?

They had signed such harsh contracts and only managed to stimulate their potential.

But the Flameheart Vine in Oxys's hand wasn't just about stimulating potential,it was like a leap to the heavens.

"You guys aren't thinking of robbing me, are you?" Oxys, seeing all the Shapeshifters leaders eyeing him, glared warningly, "This was a reward from Mr. Johnson, and the law teacher just said that robbery is a serious crime, possibly facing years of imprisonment."

The Shapeshifters leaders were stunned.

Naturally, they wouldn't dare to rob something given by William, but this guy seemed to have learned too quickly!

A mighty Shapeshifters leader actually lecturing them about the law?

Steven, having noted down these Shapeshifters leaders' names, chuckled at Oxys's words.

"You don't have to be like this, guys. If Oxys can get these rewards, so can you." Steven seized the moment to influence them, "In the future, if you encounter bullying, you can also protect your rights through legal means, like resorting to the law."

The Shapeshifters leaders fell silent, not ready to accept these new rules immediately.

In the Abyssal Void of the Underworld, if Oxys appeared in front of many Shapeshifters leaders with a Flameheart Vine, it would unquestionably lead to a bloody battle, where only the last survivor could claim the vine.

But now, they dared not rob it!

They really didn't dare!

Yet, Oxys suddenly felt that if all the Shapeshifters leaders obeyed the law, it might not be so bad.

After all, he was the beneficiary. You can trace the roots of this content at n0v@lbin

Coming in directly with the Flameheart Vine was William's instruction.

Having been told so by William, he naturally carried it boldly.

He even thought, if these Shapeshifters leaders really tried to rob him, would William just slap them into mincemeat?

Hearing this information for the first time, the Shapeshifters leaders were surprisingly engrossed.

Having lived for so many years, the Shapeshifters leaders' intelligence was far superior to that of ordinary humans, and they learned incredibly fast.

In just three days, they were already able to recite "A Short & Happy Guide to American Law" and "Law 101: Everything You Need to Know About American Law" cover to cover, leaving Steven in utter amazement.

Even the slowest among them, Oxys, learned the language of this world in less than half a day.

Steven had previously thought these beings were somewhat simple-minded.

Then, under William's guidance, these Shapeshifters leaders actually fell in love with reading.

Yes!

They fell in love with reading!

"Hamlet," "The Great Gatsby," "To Kill a Mockingbird," "The Declaration of Independence," "The Iliad," "The Edda"...

These were all within their range of reading.

Then, there was a significant shift in the scenario.

"Steven! I realized something. The last time you sold us those phones, it was coercive selling!" A particularly burly Shapeshifter leader, his eyes gleaming red, stared at Steven.

Steven's mouth twitched as he responded, "How is that coercive selling? Didn't you agree to it voluntarily?"

"According to Professor Kingsfield, coercive selling is defined as using violence, threats, or other improper methods in commercial transactions to force someone to buy or provide goods or services. Such behavior is illegal," the Shapeshifter leader continued, his eyes still flashing red. "You used Mr. Johnson's threat of force to make us buy those phones, so your actions constitute coercive selling."

Damn!

Steven was internally shocked. What was going on?

A group of Shapeshifters, who knew nothing before, had learned so much in just three days and even understood what coercive selling meant.

The Shapeshifter continued, "In the United States, according to federal laws such as Extortion and Blackmail Laws, Commercial Fraud Laws, RICO, engaging in commercial transactions or providing services using violence, threats, or other coercive means is considered coercive selling or transaction. Depending on the severity of the case, this kind of behavior might constitute a crime and can lead to fines or imprisonment."

"..." Steven was dumbfounded. Were these Shapeshifters now wielding the weapon of law?

The Shapeshifter leader went on, "However, since we're all so familiar with each other, just treat us to a BBQ and we'll call it even."

"..."
