Chapter 121 Trading
The news of the twins shocked the entire city, and panic gripped the city as everyone feared they would be next.
Despite repeated denials from law enforcement, the rumors have spread to everyone in the city thanks to the instigation of certain individuals.
Fitus was furious. He first posted notices throughout the city stating that he was not responsible for the kidnapping, and then ordered law enforcement to conduct a large-scale search throughout the city, vowing to catch those who spread rumors.
This is why the scholar in white noticed something was wrong with the atmosphere in the city as soon as he arrived; officials and people were suspicious of each other, and this distrust often led to a surge in conflict.
"interesting."
Lin Tian listened to what the white-robed scholar said, his eyes full of amusement.
He didn't know the truth of the matter, but he knew it was definitely not as simple as it seemed. How could a mere rumor cause such a commotion among ordinary people and officials?
"And another thing?"
Lin Tian put the matter aside; no matter how much trouble there was, it had nothing to do with him. He wasn't there to mediate the conflict.
“I’ve looked at many places in the city these past few days. In addition to the basic facilities that other cities have, there is also a place called the slave trading house.”
"To be precise, this building exists in many places in the Sand Kingdom. What sets it apart from other countries is that the slave trade is brought into the open. This is the first time I've seen it done so openly."
"Two days later, they will hold a trade fair, and from what I've heard, it will not only be a slave trade fair, but also a fair to sell some valuable items."
"Something precious?"
"That's right!"
After hearing the white-robed scholar's words, Lin Tian remained silent for a moment before speaking:
"Go and see!"
.................
Although he had no hope, Lin Tian still came to see it. After all, there's a saying...
What if?
The tickets for the trade fair weren't very expensive. Lin Tian and the white-robed scholar paid their fees and entered. As they entered the hall, Lin Tian subconsciously frowned.
After all, as a 21st-century youth, this kind of thing had a significant impact on him, as it was somewhat inconsistent with his values.
However, the slave trade had become deeply ingrained in the culture of this land and had even given rise to corresponding legal provisions, which was not something Lin Tian alone could change.
After calming himself down, Lin Tian began browsing the trade fair with a blank expression.
Each slave was bound with iron rings, and the slaves stood obediently in place, allowing customers to choose them. Some more particular merchants would even place a card next to them with their information written on it.
Those standing here are at least mid-level slaves; lower-level and inferior slaves wouldn't be in a place like this. They are sold by the dozen.
Lin Tian merely strolled around the slave market; he had no intention of buying slaves and had no such perverse interest.
Since the sale of items wouldn't start until midway through the day, Lin casually found a place to sit down and waited patiently.
"This friend."
I never expected someone would come looking for me here.
Lin Tian didn't get up, but just slightly raised his head to look at the... pig? in front of him.
Of course, this is an exaggeration, mainly because this Zhang is just too abstract.
The man looked like the demon Bogang, with a fleshy face so big you couldn't even see his eyes. He was wearing clothes of an unknown size, and several hot women followed behind him. Judging from the iron rings around their necks, they were slaves.
"Hello."
Lin Tian was a little curious about how he had attracted his attention.
Seeing that Lin Tian did not get up, he showed displeasure, but did not say anything.
Can you sell me that?
that?
Which?
Lin Tian was initially a little confused, but when he saw the little lizard pointing to his shoulder, he realized his purpose.
"Not buying."
Lin Tian refused outright. He wasn't there to buy anything, and besides, the lizard on his shoulder wasn't an ordinary one; he wouldn't sell it so easily.
"1000 sabes".
Bo Gang spoke with great confidence, as if the lizard was already his for the taking.
However, Lin Tian ignored him and simply lowered his head to drink his tea, his refusal quite obvious.
But Lin Tian's actions excited Bo Gang. You see, he had offered 1000, a price that could buy a person, let alone a lizard, but the guy remained unmoved.
"2000!"
Bo Gang doubled his bet, which shows he really likes the lizard.
However, he failed to impress Lin Tian, mainly because Lin Tian had no intention of selling.
"3000?"
"5000!"
Bo Gang kept calling out the price, drawing stares from those around him, but Lin Tian remained calm and composed.
"Do you know who I am?"
Bo Gang was a little defensive. In this city, he had never met anyone who looked down on him so much.
"Of course I know! Isn't Bo Gang one of them?"
"You still dare to act this way even though you know that!"
So your name is really Bo Gang?
Lin Tian's face twitched, but he quickly recovered and said in a nonchalant manner.
"Not... for sale!"
This made Bo Gang blush with shame. The stares around him made him feel extremely humiliated. How could Bo Gang, the son of the local tyrant of Huangtu City, encounter such a thing!
"Hey!"
Bo Gang reached out his hand directly to Lin Tian, as if he was about to do something.
slap~
However, before he could even touch Lin Tian's hand, he was grabbed by the white-robed scholar, who stared at Bo Gang with cold eyes, as if he was about to make a move at any moment!
The terrifying look startled Bo Gang. Just as he was about to call for his guards to protect him, Lin Tian suddenly spoke up.
"and many more."
"You really want this?"
Lin Tian suddenly turned his gaze over and looked at Bo Gang with a curious look.
"That's right!"
"Name your price!"
Seeing the white-robed scholar release his grip, Bo Gang swiftly withdrew his own hand, though he still couldn't forget the lizard.
"Ten thousand!"
"Impossible, ten thousand is too much, I can only offer five thousand five at most."
Bo Gang shook his head repeatedly, as if to say, "I'm very smart, I won't let you take advantage of me."
But Lin Tian suddenly smiled when he saw him like this.
It’s interesting!
Lin Tian: "9500!"
Bo Gang: "5700!"
Lin Tian: "9000!"
Bo Gang: "6000!"
Lin Tian: "9300!"
Bo Gang: "6400!"
Lin Tian: "8700!"
Bo Gang: "6900!"
Lin Tian: "9800!"
Bo Gang: "7200!"
Lin Tian: "!"
Bo Gang: "8000!"
"make a deal!"
The delivery and payment were completed in one smooth motion, but when the lizard arrived in his hands, Bo Gang was still a little dazed.
Clearly, his brain is overloaded.
When he finally realized what had happened, he discovered that he had fallen into Lin Tian's trap. However, the deal had already been made, and asking for it back would damage his dignity and reputation. Seeing this, he could only glare fiercely at Lin Tian.
"I remember you!"
"Walk slowly without sending."
After the fat man had walked away, the scholar in white leaned close to Lin Tian's ear and asked:
"Is it really done... like that?"
Faced with the white-robed scholar's question, Lin Tian simply smiled calmly:
"of course."
