Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Su Wan’er and Wang Qian felt completely isolated and were so anxious that they were in tears. Suddenly, a voice came from the crowd. and a youth appeared.

The surrounding people frantically looked towards the youth with expressions of surprise. There was actually a person that dared to stick his nose into this matter and stand up for the two young maidens!

After being in Dragon City for a while, most people would rather not interfere with the business of others. It was because, in such a place, one would never know when they would offend someone they could not afford to offend.

“Who are you?”

The fierce-looking burly man’s expression turned cold. He looked at the youth with an unfriendly gaze. A callow brat actually dared to interfere in his business?

The youth was none other than Mo Wen.

At the same time, a few people quietly emerged from the crowd and slowly surrounded Mo Wen. These people were all the ones that had spoken and ridiculed Su Wan’er and Wang Qian before this. Without a doubt, these people were all in this together.

“Brat, you should know what’s good for you. Don’t refuse a toast only to drink a forfeit,” the fierce-looking burly man threatened as he coldly looked at Mo Wen. He hoped that he could use this aggressive manner to scare Mo Wen away. It was precisely because he saw the two maidens were naïve that he had decided to blackmail them. If this matter actually got stirred up, the Huatian Palace Executors would be alerted. That was not what he wanted to see.

The few people who had surrounded Mo Wen also wore threatening looks and faintly released their auras. Their cultivations were not low. Two of them were even at the Embryonic Breathing Realm. As expected, strong practitioners could be found anywhere in Dragon City.

“Big Brother Mo!”

“Mo Wen!”

Su Wan’er and Wang Qian’s eyes opened wide simultaneously. They looked at the youth in surprise. It was Mo Wen, who had left without bidding them farewell not too long ago. Never in their wildest dreams had they imagined that they would meet him here at such a time.

“Tang Zhizhi, how does the Huatian Palace usually punish such deceitful behavior?” Mo Wen said. He smiled at Su Wan’er and Wang Qian and then turned and looked at Tang Zhizhi. Although the Free Trade Market had no rules and anyone could trade freely, this was still a Trade Market established by the Huatian Palace. It was not a black market. There were some fundamental principles that no one could violate. Such bullish and deceitful behavior would certainly be severely punished.

“If there is concrete evidence, they will be banished from Dragon City. At the same time, they will face a huge fine,” Tang Zhizhi said. The Huatian Palace’s fine would bankrupt even a Golden Elixir Realm ancient martial art practitioner, let alone an Embryonic Breathing Realm ancient martial art practitioner. If the circumstances were severe, even a Martial Arts Grandmaster could not withstand such a fine.

Hence, very few people dared to cause trouble in Dragon City. Of course, there were all sorts of people in Dragon City that came from all sorts of places. It was not strange for there to be a few people who liked to take risks and ignored the rules.

“Are you certain that what you bought was not a Green Tree Snake’s gallbladder but this Red Patterned Snake’s gallbladder?” Mo Wen looked at the burly man again, with a somewhat cold gaze.

“What do you mean, brat? The truth is right before your eyes. She clearly sold me a Red Patterned Snake’s gallbladder, but she pretended that it was that of a Green Tree Snake and swindled me. Could it be that you want to stand facts on their heads and accuse me of trying to swindle them?”

Since it had come to this, the fierce-looking burly man could not possibly change his story now. He kept insisting that he had bought a Red Patterned Snake’s gallbladder for the price of a Green Tree Snake’s gallbladder.

“Is that so?”

Mo Wen smiled coldly and suddenly extended his hand. The fierce-looking burly man could not resist at all and was directly caught in Mo Wen’s grasp. The people that surrounded Mo Wen also retreated back seven to eight steps in an instant. A formless power enveloped them, making it difficult for them to even move.

“What are you going to do?”

The fierce-looking burly man’s expression changed drastically. He could not help but cry out in surprise. He had not imagined that he would be caught by the youth before he could even react. He struggled with all his might, but it was of no use. It was as though he had been grabbed by a hand the size of a mountain.

His accomplices looked at Mo Wen with fearful gazes. Their impression of his power was even deeper than that of the fierce-looking burly man. Mo Wen had actually suppressed them with only his aura until they could not move. What cultivation did this person have exactly? It was too frightening.

Tang Zhizhi was also shocked. This employer of hers seemed to be quite capable. No wonder he acted so heroically, also daring to accept the challenge of the foreign woman. As expected, he was not an ordinary person.

“What am I going to do? Of course, I am looking for evidence on you.”

Mo Wen simply reached into the fierce-looking burly man’s pockets. Mo Wen seemed to have already known where the items were placed, immediately retrieving them from the man’s pockets. He removed a wooden box. When Mo Wen opened the box, a rustic scent immediately filled the air. There was a snake gallbladder stored inside. From its appearance, it was the Green Tree Snake’s gallbladder. action

“What would you say this is?” Mo Wen smiled coldly as he held the snake gallbladder right in front of the fierce-looking burly man’s face. It was impossible for the burly man to hide anything from Mo Wen.

“That is the Green Tree Snake’s gallbladder that we sold. There is only one of them. Just now, we sold him this snake gallbladder and not that Red Patterned Snake’s gallbladder.”

Su Wan’er saw the snake gallbladder and immediately cried out in excitement. They had not been lying. The snake gallbladder had been sold by them just now. Clearly, this fierce-looking man had wanted to frame them.

“This... this is a Green Tree Snake’s gallbladder that I bought from someone else earlier on. What’s the matter? I am practicing a martial arts method that requires large amounts of Green Tree Snake’s gallbladder. It isn’t strange for me to have Green Tree Snake’s gallbladders on me. What does this prove? Who can prove that they sold this snake gallbladder to me?” the fierce-looking burly man countered stubbornly.

Even if he was caught red-handed, he would not admit it. However, he was secretly very shocked. He had hidden this Green Tree Snake’s gallbladder very discreetly. It wasn’t easy even for him to take it out. How did this youth find it so quickly, as though he had known where it was straight away?

“You truly don’t give up. There are also other materials dissected from the same Green Tree Snake on the stall of these two young maidens. If we inspect this Green Tree Snake’s gallbladder and these materials from the body of the Green Tree Snake, we will easily discover whether they are from the same Green Tree Snake. In Dragon City, we coincidentally have such appraisal agencies. If you still don’t want to admit it, then we will need to ask the Huatian Palace to come to take a look,” Tang Zhizhi said with a cold smile.

Before this, she had felt scared when she saw Mo Wen make a move. If they did not find evidence, they would be the ones causing a ruckus. They could then be punished by the Huatian Palace.

However, Mo Wen had retrieved the evidence directly from the burly man’s body. This would not be Mo Wen’s problem, but the problem of these men.

“This...”

The expression of the fierce-looking man turned ugly. His gaze flickered. He was obviously feeling guilty. After a while, he suddenly shouted coldly, “You are seeking death. Do you know who we are? Don’t end up dying without even knowing how you died!” The fierce-looking burly man was viciously threatening Mo Wen.

Being caught on the back foot, he knew that it was useless to quibble any longer. He hoped that these people would have reservations about taking the issue any further. Otherwise, if this incident reached the Huatian Palace, they would definitely land themselves in serious trouble.

“Humph, you dare to commit such deceitful acts in Dragon City and also even dare to threaten us! You sure have some guts. I will inform the Huatian Palace law enforcement team right now, and they will come to handle you scum.”

Tang Zhizhi coldly snorted. As a Huatian Palace Three stars Executor, she naturally had an arrogance that no one else had. How could she be threatened by these complete lowlifes? She immediately took out her secret communication insignia that all members of the Huatian Palace had and directly contacted the nearby law enforcement team members.

“You are from the Huatian Palace?!”

The expression of the fierce-looking burly man changed drastically. His face became incredibly pale. He recognized that insignia. It was the identity insignia that only the Huatian Palace Executors that were on a mission in Dragon City had. He would never have imagined that such a young woman was a Huatian Palace Executor. He had actually tried to commit fraud in front of a Huatian Palace Executor. Wasn’t that suicide?

His surrounding accomplices were also terrified. They were far more flustered than when Mo Wen caught them. Their pale faces were full of terror. If the Huatian Palace intervened in this matter, it would truly be the end for them.

The people who had gathered to watch saw that the situation was at a huge turning point and glanced at each other. The looks they gave Mo Wen and Tang Zhizhi were somewhat respectful. No wonder they had dared to intervene in such a matter. They were actually members of the Huatian Palace.

Su Wan’er and Wang Qian also looked at Tang Zhizhi in astonishment. Dragon City was the Huatian Palace’s dominion. The members of the Huatian Palace would naturally deter ordinary people.

Tang Zhizhi had a look of accomplishment on her face. As a guide, she had finally been of great use. With a price of one spiritual stone a day, she needed to be value for money for her to earn this salary peacefully.

Very soon, a five-man Huatian Palace law enforcement team arrived.

“What happened?” From the badge on his chest, the young man in the lead was a Four stars Executor. He was in charge of the district’s security.

Tang Zhizhi told him what had just transpired. Since they had been caught red-handed, there was no reason to doubt. Moreover, Tang Zhizhi was a member of the Huatian Palace. Her credibility was very high.

Therefore, the members of the law enforcement team did not inquire much and went straight over to arrest the swindlers.

Once the Huatian Palace law enforcement team appeared, the once fierce-looking burly man was so scared that his legs went limp. At this moment, even if he quibbled, it would be useless. The Huatian Palace would be able to find out the truth immediately.

Once the group that had caused trouble was arrested and taken away, the surrounding crowd gradually dispersed. The Free Trade Market had never lacked conflict. The burly man could be considered unlucky to have encountered a Huatian Palace Executor. His accomplices might not be too severely punished, but the mastermind surely would be.

“Big Brother Mo, thank you. You saved me once again,” Su Wan’er said gratefully as she lowered her head. If Big Brother Mo had not appeared, she would not have known what to do.

“Mo Wen, thank you so much,” Wang Qian said with an embarrassed smile as she wiped away the tears in the corner of her eyes. Su Wan’er being so scared that she cried was one thing. After all, she was still young. Wang Qian was a sect senior sister and had also cried. She felt somewhat embarrassed.

“It’s just a small matter. In the future, when you are selling things, try to have a senior with you,” Mo Wen advised with a smile. The reason why the burly man targeted Wan’er and Wang Qian was most likely because the two young maidens were pushovers. They did not have seniors with high cultivation beside them and their stall was laden with items of high value. Hence, the burly man had gotten greedy.
