Chapter 278
After his explanation, Lager Zu's eyes lit up with excitement. He looked at Fade Chen and Master Xie with a smile on his face and said, "You guys must have found something good to be in such a hurry to leave!"
Master Xie said in a deep voice, "We don't understand what you are talking about. We didn't find anything."
Lager shook his finger and said, "Mr. Xie, your words can't convince me!"
"Then what do you want?" Master Xie asked in impatience. Normally, if he met an ordinary person who dared to challenge him, he would have killed the person in a move. But now, he had decided to be loyal to Fade, so he could not act as unscrupulous as before.
Lager's gaze landed on the two traveling bags. He said, "Since both of you are carrying such large bags, you must be very tired. I'll send someone to carry them for you!"
As he said that, Lager made a gesture with his hand, and his subordinates immediately walked toward both of them. It seemed like they were about to grab their bags and search what was in it.
Master Xie's gaze was cold. He glanced at Fade with a questioning look, wondering if he should take action or not.
At this moment, Fade spoke. He took out a Sacred Fig and placed it in his hand. He looked at Lager and said, "There's no need to search anymore. This is what you're looking for, isn't it?"
Lager looked at the small and smooth fruit on Fade's palm and his eyes immediately lit up. He almost pounced on it. "That, that's it. The old villager had a photo of it. That's it," Lager exclaimed.
"Haha, I didn't expect you to be so lucky to find this treasure!" Lager said.
Fade said faintly, "Yes, we have found this treasure. What do you want, Chief Zu?"
Lager was stunned. He didn't expect this young man to be so stupid. "Wasn't I clear that I wanted to snatch that treasure from him? Yet he is still asking me what I want to do!
Then, he thought of an idea and a smile appeared on his face. He said, "I see, Mr. Chen is smart. Since I am the boss here, I will definitely not treat you badly. How about this, I will buy the fruit in your hand."
"You want to buy it?" Master Xie said, and his expression darkened as his voice turned cold.
Fade still pretended as though he did not understand what was going on. "Buy, you would like to buy this? How much are you willing to pay for it?"He asked.
Lager immediately took out a stack of money from his bag and showed it to Fade. He said, "This much money. I'm sure you have not seen so much money before. Give me the fruit, and the money will be yours."
Looking at the bank notes in Lager's hand, Master Xie became angry. He shouted, "You were just saying that one fruit is worth five million yuan twenty years ago. Now it's possible for it to fetch more than ten million yuan. But now you intend to buy it from us with ten thousand yuan. Are you kidding?" Content provided by NôvelDrama.Org.
Hearing this, Lager's face fell. He kept the bank notes in his hand and said coldly, "To be honest, I offered you the money because I wanted to compensate you for your long journey. Otherwise, I wouldn't have given you any money. The treasure in your hands belongs to me anyway."
"You want to snatch it from us!" Master Xie said, and his face fell.
Lager smiled and said, "Snatch it from you? Why are you using such harsh words? I'm not that kind of person."
"This treasure belongs to me in the first place," Lager spoke, and his expression changed.
"Bullsh*t, when did this thing become yours!" Master Xie could not help but yell angrily.
Lager shook his head and said, "You don't know this, but I've planned to sign the contract to acquire the land behind the mountain ridge. Therefore, the treasure you found in this place is naturally mine."
"Give it to me now and I can give you ten thousand yuan for your hard work. Otherwise, you won't get a penny," Lager said arrogantly.
"If you planned to sign the contract, that means the contract hasn't been signed yet. If you haven't sign the contract, how can this thing be yours?" Fade asked.
Lager's expression immediately darkened. He was a little annoyed and shouted, "If I say it's mine, then it's mine. I don't have time to quibble with you. Hurry up and leave this thing here with me. Otherwise, don't blame me for being rude."
While speaking, Lager gestured his hand. More than 20 men approached the two of them again.They seemed like they were going to start a fight.
Seeing that Lager was so arrogant and unreasonable, Fade didn't want to say anything more to him. He nodded to Master Xie and said, "You can solve this matter now!"
As he spoke, Fade put away the Sacred Fig. He took a step back, and stood aside.
When Lager saw this, he immediately shouted, "Surround him! Don't let him run away!"
In an instant, five or six people were sent out to chase after Fade.
However, as soon as they came forward, Master Xie let out an angry roar. A violent wave of air surged out, which shocked these men. They trembled in fear and froze on the spot.
Then, Master Xie raised his arm and a ray of golden light appeared in his palm. The ray of light shot out energy with the sound of slapping.
In an instant, there was the sound of wailing. Due to Master Xie's attack, these men were hit and they fell to the ground, howling before they could even react to the attack.
Of course, Master Xie did not use full force. Otherwise, these people would not have survived.
Lager, who had a gleeful expression just now, was shocked when he saw that his men were defeated in less than three minutes. He was shocked and he looked at Master Xie in horror. "You, you are a martial-artist,"he said.
"Who did you think I was?" Master Xie asked coldly.
Seeing Master Xie approaching him, Lager panicked and he retreated. The sweat on his forehead trickled down.
Just as Lager was about to be pushed to the edge of a cliff, a strong wind blew over them. A man clad in black drifted over. The man wore long robes and he had his hands behind his back. He looked confident and proud. "Chief Zu, I'm here!"he said.
Lager, who had almost been forced to the brink of death, turned his head when he heard this voice. He immediately became overjoyed and shouted quickly, "Mr. Wu, save me now. That fellow has injured my people, and now he wants to attack me. Quickly now!"
Mr. Wu gave a cold snort and turned to look in the direction that Lager had pointed.Master Xie was standing there.
At first glance, Mr. Wu felt that the person in front of him was familiar. However, he couldn't remember who this person was, and he couldn't help but frown slightly.
At this time, Lager said, "Mr. Wu, they found the treasure. It's the little fruit. When we succeed in taking the fruit from them, we'll split the profits equally."
Hearing this, Mr. Wu couldn't help but feel joy in his heart, and he got rid of the doubt in his mind. He looked at Master Xie with an earnest and proud expression on his face. He said,"Looks like you are also a martial-artist, and you know a few tricks!"
"But, in front of me, your tricks are just some fancy movements," Mr. Wu said confidently. He continued, "I am a martial-arts master at the middle stage of the Yellow Level. Now, I will give you a chance to hand over the treasure on your own. Don't provoke me to take action. Otherwise..."
