Chen Zhao walked up to Raz. Raz also had his own stall. He looked up and was clearly stunned when he saw Chen Zhao. Then, his expression turned into one of enthusiasm.
"Honorable Living Lord, welcome."
Raz glanced at Jessica, who was beside Chen Zhao. Cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
Jessica gave him too much pressure. The Banshee's aura was too terrifying.
Moreover, her reputation was not small at all.
In Obsidian City, Jessica was known as the Evil Woman.
"Raz, what a coincidence. I didn't expect to see you here."
"Ha … What a coincidence. Living Lord, may I ask why you're here?"
"I was invited here by the lord of this place," Chen Zhao answered.
"This is the lord's guest," Jessica said, looking down from above.
"Raz, I bought something when I was shopping here. Help me see if I've been scammed." Chen Zhao took out many Hell specialties from his spatial ring.
When Raz saw these things, he froze on the spot as if he had been struck by lightning.
Raz finally realized that Chen Zhao was here to punish him.
"Living Lord … I … I …"
Chen Zhao narrowed his eyes and stared at Raz.
"Is there anything else you want to say?"
Raz turned around and fled into the "crowd." He didn't even care about the things in his stall. He just wanted to get away from Chen Zhao as soon as possible.
Jessica glanced at Chen Zhao. "Do you need me to catch him for you?"
"Yes."
Jessica flew into the sky. A few minutes later, she returned with the limp Raz and tossed him before Chen Zhao.
Raz seemed to be under some kind of spell. He couldn't straighten up like mud.
Chen Zhao squatted before Raz. "Raz, I'm very disappointed in you. I thought that we could establish a long-term, stable partnership, but you bullied me because I didn't understand the prices in Hell. You sold almost everything to me at a hundred times the price."
"Living Lord, you're the most compassionate person I've ever seen. I was wrong … I was wrong … I'm willing to return your demonic crystals. Please forgive me," Raz begged.
"Living Lord, how many demonic crystals did he scam from you?"
"About a hundred years old." Jessica's eyes glowed. She was not surprised by Raz's appetite.
He was shocked that Chen Zhao had so many demonic crystals.
Moreover, if he hadn't accidentally found out about the real price of goods, he might still have been deceived.
"How dare you!" Jessica kicked the limp Raz on the ground. "You even dared to cheat a living lord's demonic crystal, and so much of it. You won't be able to pay it all back even after a hundred years."
"The demonic crystals are still here … The demonic crystals are still here … I can return them all."
"There's no need to pay me back. I'll use the goods I get from you in the future to repay the debt."
To be honest, while Chen Zhao was angry, he still needed a stable supply.
After killing Raz, he still had to find another source.
Raz didn't dare to lie to himself anymore. After all, his demonic ritual implement was still in his hands.
Therefore, Chen Zhao had the absolute initiative.
If Raz dared to lie to him again, he could directly use the demonic artifact to summon him to the human world. There would be plenty of ways to deal with him.
There was no contract between demons summoned with demonic ritual implement.
Therefore, there were no restrictions for Chen Zhao to summon Raz.
Even if he killed Raz, he wouldn't be punished. However, if he killed Raz, Chen Zhao might not be able to find a more reliable source.
Perhaps the new supplier would be worse than Raz and might not even give him the demonic ritual implement.
Chen Zhao might as well keep Raz. At least with Raz's demonic ritual implement in his hands, he wouldn't have to worry about any more tricks.
As for the price, to be honest, Chen Zhao was angry.
But to be honest, it was a consensual trade.
Chen Zhao didn't understand the prices in Hell, so he couldn't blame others for scamming him.
Of course, fairness and reason didn't exist in Hell. Whoever was stronger had the right.
Therefore, Chen Zhao was in the right now.
"Jessica, what spell did you cast on him?"
"Do you want me to undo the Weak Curse?"
"Yes."
"Living lord, do you always use demonic crystals when you trade with him?"
"Yes."
"Living lord, it's usually 100 soul shards for one year's worth of demonic crystals on the market, but the actual value of demonic crystals is much higher than that. Some demons can even accept double the price."
"Why is the difference so huge?"
Logically speaking, the market-determined price wouldn't be too different from the actual value. Usually, it was possible to fluctuate by 20%. However, Chen Zhao couldn't understand the difference of double the price.
"Demonic crystals can increase the lifespan of most demons, while soul shards are just food for demons. So, do you think the market can determine the value of demonic crystals?"
This meant that Raz had increased the price of Chen Zhao's goods by more than 200 times, or even 300 times.
Chen Zhao glanced at Raz and snorted coldly.
Chen Zhao didn't know the price before, but now he did. Raz would suffer in the future.
For now, Raz was still irreplaceable.
Chen Zhao had many demonic ritual implements from all kinds of demons, but Raz was the only one who specialized in business.
Being able to travel between the human world and Hell didn't mean that one could be a merchant.
Businessmen needed a clear mind, just like Chen Zhao. If he and Raz switched places, Chen Zhao might not be able to do as well as Raz.
So, unless it was absolutely necessary, Chen Zhao didn't want to change his trading partner.
However, when he thought about how he'd thought that Raz's price was fair, Chen Zhao felt stifled.
As expected, demons couldn't be trusted.
After walking around the market, Chen Zhao saw many magical things, but most of them were just magical. They didn't have any actual use.
Raz followed Chen Zhao nervously. He wasn't afraid of Chen Zhao, but Jessica, who was beside Chen Zhao.
Thankfully, Chen Zhao was tired of shopping, so Raz was finally free.
Visiting a demon city for the first time was rather novel, but after walking around for a while, he realized that it wasn't much.
It was like when he'd first come to America. He'd fantasized about how great America was, but when he arrived, he realized that it wasn't much.
The novelty came quickly, but it also left quickly …
In Chen Zhao's eyes, Hell was a chaotic place.
