Chapter 625: Devouring a Man
The door to the luxurious reception room on the second floor suddenly opened, and two Lionhearts, one tall and one short, walked right in. They were very rude, as if they were in their own home.
The tall one was wearing an alloy mask. He was a warrior, and he was close to five meters tall! He weighed no less than seven hundred kilograms!
The owner of Saruman Merchant Guild was also a Lionheart, so the room was very spacious. Even so, this person still had to lower his head a little when he entered, which made him look rather awkward.
Meanwhile, the Lionheart youth beside him made Xia Fei furrow his brows. This was none other than Heinrich, whom he had saved in the desert. Xia Fei had given him two slaps in a moment of anger. Could it be that his father had come looking for him?
"Isn't it just one million grade 4 Origin Crystals? I, Heathfield, will take it! " The tall and burly Lionheart warrior loudly declared. His voice was deep and resounding, and his words caused the glass windows to tremble.
Ricky hurriedly stood up and walked over. "Welcome, planet lord. Please forgive me for not coming out to greet you."
Heathfield nodded slightly, pointing at Xia Fei. "Is it him?"
Heinrich nodded lightly, a hint of hesitation in his eyes.
Xia Fei was slightly taken aback. His finger rested on his spatial ring. The Lionheart warrior in front of him was very muscular, and his cultivation was definitely not low. If they really clashed, it would be a bitter battle. Xia Fei had not recovered from his injuries, and his ribs were still throbbing with pain. This was not the time to clash with someone.
Ricky did not know what was going on, so he took two steps back, unsure of what to do.
All of a sudden, Heathfield took off his mask, revealing his true self!
What a face of a berserk lion! A cross-shaped stab wound was on the left side of his face, making this vicious face look even more savage!
For some reason, Xia Fei felt that this face was very familiar.
"Don't be nervous. The Lionhearts never reveal their true faces in front of outsiders. Not only does he mean no harm, but this is also a sign of extreme respect for you," Lionheart Emperor Oro secretly said to Xia Fei. The Great Demon Lord Oro's voice seemed to have a specific direction, drifting into Xia Fei's ears, making it very difficult for others to hear it.
Sure enough, Heathfield immediately bowed to Xia Fei after taking off his mask, his attitude solemn.
"Heinrich is my only son. Thank you for saving his life!"
Xia Fei breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly said something along the lines of it being nothing much. Ricky was overjoyed, inviting Heathfield and his son into the house and ordering someone to bring over some tea and snacks.
After figuring out the reason, Ricky was full of praise for Xia Fei. He was an ordinary Lionheart, while Heathfield was a Lionheart royalty, so he could be considered his master.
Just like in other places in the Law Realm, Ricky, who had embarked on the path of business, was no longer recognized by his family, so he could not even be bothered to wear a mask. There were not many Lionhearts living in Black Lion City or even the entire Black Lion Planet, so Heathfield took good care of Ricky and did not look down on his status.
Xia Fei had saved Heathfield's son, which made Ricky very grateful.
"That's not all. Heinrich has already promised me to study hard at the royal Wild Lion Star Academy, fulfilling my long-cherished wish!" Heathfield said excitedly.
"That's great! It's worth celebrating, worth celebrating! " He claimed that he wanted to give Heinrich a big gift, which made the shy young man very embarrassed.
"Star Academy? That's the exclusive imperial academy of my royal family. Ask which royal family Heathfield belongs to, "Lionheart Emperor Oro whispered into Xia Fei's ear.
Xia Fei cupped his hands. "Planet master, it's indeed a good thing that the young master is seeking to improve himself. I heard that the Wild Lion Star Academy is the exclusive imperial academy of the royal family, but it turns out that the planet master's background is so noble."
Without waiting for Heathfield to reply, Ricky interjected, "Young man, you're being rude. The planet master is a direct descendant of the Lionheart royalty, with the Golden Lion King bloodline running through his veins. It's not something people like us can casually inquire about."
Xia Fei nodded. He wondered if the Golden Lion King bloodline and Oro were of the same family.
"Oh, so Heathfield is my descendant …" Lionheart Emperor Oro softly said.
Xia Fei wanted to laugh, but he did not dare to. This father and son pair were both the great great-great-grandchildren of the great demon Oro, and just a few hours ago, the Lionheart Emperor Oro had even ordered his own grandson to die. How could he say that?
If it were not for the fact that Xia Fei had disobeyed him and stubbornly saved the little fellow, the great demon Oro would most likely be regretting his actions.
Heathfield stared straight at Xia Fei. Just like his ancestor Oro, he had a pair of demonic eyes that made Xia Fei's hair stand on end.
"Heinrich is my only son. My wife passed away after giving birth to him, and he's been spoiled by me ever since he was young, resulting in his spoiled personality. I don't know what method you used to enlighten Heinrich, but in any case, I'll definitely reward you properly this time," Heathfield solemnly said.
Xia Fei replied, "I'm just reminding the young master of his responsibilities. Since you're a member of the royal family, you naturally have to shoulder the honor of the entire family. Actually, I'm just an external factor. The main reason is still the young master's determination to strive for the top."
Xia Fei very cleverly attributed the main factor to Heinrich's awareness. He played down the humiliation of him being kidnapped while secretly supporting Heathfield and his son, leaving no trace behind.
Xia Fei inadvertently glanced at the spatial compass on the table. With this thing, he would be able to return to the Alliance to see Avril as soon as possible. He did not want to stay in the Demon Race for too long.
Heathfield smiled. "Ricky, you're not trying to pull some sort of trick again, are you? Young man, you might not know this, but on the surface, Ricky is honest and honest in his business dealings. The things he sells aren't that expensive, but if you really buy it, there will be many conditions attached. The final transaction price is guaranteed to make you vomit blood. You mustn't fall for his trick. "
Xia Fei frowned. He had long felt that ninety thousand grade 4 Origin Crystals for an accurate super-grade spatial compass produced by the Fig Corporation was too cheap. It turned out that there was indeed something fishy going on!
Though Ricky was an unscrupulous businessman, he was still able to distinguish between inside and outside. Xia Fei was indebted to the Black Lion Star Lord, so there was no way he would dare to deceive Xia Fei.
"Actually, these are all common tricks used by merchants. Take this spatial compass for example. The hardest part about an unregistered spatial compass isn't how to get your hands on it, but how to set up an anonymous account. After all, using a spatial compass costs money, and without an account, even the best spatial compass can't be used. It's just a piece of scrap metal. If you set up a public account, you'll need to register it first, and once you register it, you'll be tracked, making it meaningless.
"It's not just me. Other merchants also sell their spatial compasses and accounts separately. If it weren't for the planet lord's presence today, young man, you'd have to fork out three or four hundred thousand Origin Crystals."
Xia Fei sweated profusely. Indeed, all merchants were unscrupulous. He himself had only called out a price of two hundred thousand Origin Crystals at most, but this Ricky was much more black-hearted than him! He actually dared to ask for four hundred thousand Origin Crystals!
After a pause, Ricky said, "Since the planet lord is here today, and young man has saved the young master, you're my benefactor. Without further ado, this Fig Corporation's Precision Model 100 compass, along with the anonymous associated account in the standard bank, as well as the ten thousand grade 4 Origin Crystals stored in the account, will all be given to you, young man!"
Though he sounded very forthright, that was not the case in reality. The unscrupulous businessman Ricky was a smart man, and he had his own plans.
Logically speaking, Xia Fei would definitely reject it. After all, this spatial compass was a top-grade item, and it was worth a fortune. Most people would not accept such a gift for no reason.
As long as Xia Fei rejected it, Ricky would immediately take advantage of the situation and claim that he was only asking for the cost. Even if it was just the cost, it would still be a profit of ten to twenty thousand grade 4 Origin Crystals. This would give the planet lord enough face, and Heathfield would be very grateful to Ricky, believing that he was loyal to him and his family. Ricky could even make a small profit, killing two birds with one stone.
Unfortunately, Ricky did not understand Xia Fei at all. What kind of person was Xia Fei? He was someone who would eat people up without spitting out their bones!
Xia Fei rolled his eyes, stood up, and bowed to Ricky. "It's hard to refuse such great hospitality, but since Boss Ricky is so kind, I'll accept this gift."
* Shing! *
The atmosphere in the room instantly changed. Heathfield was trying his best to hold back his laughter, while Ricky's face, which was covered in golden hair, was red. He had never expected that Xia Fei would actually accept the gift that he had only been trying to be polite with!
That was Fig Corporation's Precision Model 100 spatial compass! The best of the best! The treasure of Saruman's Holdings! Xia Fei had actually accepted it as a gift! He had even reluctantly accepted it after much hesitation! It was just like how Ricky was in a hurry to give it to Xia Fei!
What could he even say? He had truly shot himself in the foot. Ricky might even feel like dying right now!
Standing up, Xia Fei boldly walked over to the table and stored the compass in his spatial ring. Phantom was rocking back and forth in laughter, nearly losing his breath. Even the Great Demon Lord Oro was amused by Xia Fei's move. In this psychological contest between two unscrupulous businessmen, it was clear that the more cunning Xia Fei had won.
Actually, Xia Fei did not feel guilty at all. Who asked Ricky to trick him first, selling the compass and the account separately? This was also a small lesson for him. Don't think that everyone is in your calculations. There are people in this world who are as stubborn as Xia Fei.
Since you want to play around, Xia Fei will play with you! Let's see who can outplay who!
Turning around, Ricky's face had turned green. There was no way Ricky could go back on his word in front of the planet lord, Heathfield, but he could not help but feel like a knife was being twisted in his heart as he cursed Xia Fei.
Returning to his seat, Xia Fei sincerely said, "I'm truly sorry to have made Boss Ricky spend so much money. I'm truly ashamed."
Ricky gritted his teeth, thinking to himself, 'Why didn't I notice that you're embarrassed at all?'
Changing the topic, Xia Fei casually said, "I'll have to trouble Boss Ricky to give me the information of the standard bank account when I leave. After all, without an account, this compass can't be used, can it?"
Ricky's heart trembled. He knew that he had completely screwed up this time, suffering a huge loss that he could not say. The bitterness in his heart had seeped into his bones!
"Of course, of course …" Ricky gritted his teeth and forced himself to say, "I'll get someone to get the bank card right away."
* Pfft! *
Heathfield could no longer hold it in and burst into laughter, causing Ricky's heart to twitch once more.
"Alright! I'll be hosting a banquet tonight. I'll be entertaining Ricky and this little brother, "Heathfield said loudly. "Also, let me have this dark metal weapon for one million grade 4 Origin Crystals. You mustn't think it's too little, little brother."
Xia Fei only wanted to take the money and leave. After all, he was still thinking about Avrils.
