That person did not expect that the other party would be able to discover his movements after being distracted and distracted. At this moment, when his wrist was grabbed, he was stunned.
After a brief moment of shock, the man immediately put on a fierce expression.
"Let go." As he spoke, he exerted all his strength to pull his wrist back. But to his horror, he realized that Lin Jin's grip was as strong as a steel clamp. No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't pull his wrist back.
His companions also came to their senses at this time and immediately started cursing and swearing.
"F * ck you! Let go! Let go of me! Ah, ah, it hurts, it hurts!" Lin Jin exerted a little more strength and the man couldn't stand it anymore and started screaming. Noticing that something was wrong, the scammers were ready to attack.
Gu Mengzhong could tell that these two groups were in cahoots. With a smirk, he raised his leg and kicked one of them down.
"Let's see which one of you dares to come over."
The men had pet beasts with them too and all of them started growling. Gu Mengzhong patted his gourd and the ink monster materialized a sword. It was obvious that a fight was about to break out. The crowd immediately dispersed to give them space.
Lin Jin extended his other hand and took the amulet from the man's hand before letting go.
Although he had let go, Lin Jin had left a needle in the man's arm. Hence, the man's entire arm was limp and he couldn't move it.
"Punk, you're asking for it!" Even though he couldn't move his arm, the man was anxious and angry. He continued to speak rudely.
By now, Lin Jin had figured out the function of the amulet.
"Amazing. To think something like this exists in this world." After learning about the amulet's function from the museum, Lin Jin was amazed.
The amulet was written in beast blood and some beast's soul was left on it. The incantation used was something Lin Jin had never seen before but with the museum's interpretation, he could understand the meaning of the incantation.
"The blood severing amulet can temporarily conceal or even sever a blood contract connection."
This thing was simply the best magic weapon for stealing other people's pet beasts.
In addition, this amulet could temporarily replace another person's blood contract. For example, it could temporarily make a pet beast think that the other person was its blood contract master.
While Lin Jin was still in shock, someone suddenly appeared from the other side. Using a talisman throwing technique, the talisman was instantly pasted on the elderly dragon before it could even react. Then, the person grabbed the old dragon and carried it away, hugging it in his arms. Lin Jin was shocked to see that the old dragon was in such a state.
His movements were so fast that it was hard for the eyes to follow. Lin Jin couldn't even react in time.
Never underestimate anyone.
Especially in a place like Merak City where there were many experts. In terms of agility and speed, Lin Jin reckoned he would have a hard time defending himself if not for the old dragon's attack.
The one who carried the Elder Mo Jade Dragon away was a man dressed like a rich young master. His demeanor was conceited and arrogant, and his appearance was somewhat androgynous. He was definitely a man, but he had the appearance of a girl. There was a jade pendant hanging from his waist, and his hair was tied up in a bun with a piece of gold. His attire exuded an air of femininity and nobility.
Among the crowd, the bald shopkeeper immediately bowed respectfully when he saw the man.
"Boss, why are you here?" Not only was the bald shopkeeper respectful, but he was also clearly afraid.
It was as if the feminine young master was a terrifying demon.
"Why am I here?" The young master smiled charmingly before slapping the bald shopkeeper across the face. "If I didn't come, you would have screwed up your mission. Fortunately, you're not completely useless. For the sake of this Rank 4 jade dragon, I'll let you off the hook this time."
The bald shopkeeper was grateful.
"I'm leaving. You guys can take care of the rest." Having said that, the young master turned to leave.
"Hold it right there!"
Lin Jin found it funny that these people didn't take him seriously at all. These people clearly had something to rely on and didn't care about the consequences.
Other than being arrogant, they also dared to do this because they were confident that an outsider like Lin Jin wouldn't be able to do anything.
The young master stopped but didn't turn around. Instead, he revealed a beautiful side profile and said, "Outsider, you want to say that this is your pet beast, you want to accuse us of stealing it on the streets, you even want to report it to the authorities, you want to fight. But in reality, this isn't your pet beast because there's no blood contract between you two. I'm in the right no matter what you say. So if you're smart, I'd advise you to save your breath."
The meaning behind the young master's words was very clear.
He had stuck a special amulet on Old Mo's body that could temporarily cut off a pet beast's blood contract. Hence, under normal circumstances, the owner of the blood contract would no longer be able to control the pet beast. They might not even be able to release the power of the blood contract.
It was like someone who had stolen your purse and was caught red-handed asking shamelessly, 'Did you write your name on the purse when you said it was yours?' Would it answer if you called for it?
It was the same trick.
It was a blatant scam.
Lin Jin wasn't angry. Not only was he not angry, he even nodded and said, "Old Mo and I don't have a blood contract. Of course, it's not my pet beast."
Old Mo?
The young master realized that Lin Jin was referring to an ink jade dragon.
However, this was his first time seeing the other party 'admit defeat' so easily.
However, just as the young master thought of this, Old Mo finally couldn't hold it in any longer.
Earlier, it had been pondering a crucial point in its cultivation so it had forgotten about everything else. But just as it was about to figure it out, something was suddenly pasted on its body and it was picked up.
Its train of thought was interrupted by this incident.
When Old Mo snapped out of its daze, it realized that it had been carried away and that person had spouted a bunch of nonsense.
"You dog, why are you carrying me?" Old Mo cursed. He wasn't angry because the other party had carried him, but because the other party had interrupted his train of thought.
But this voice gave the noble young master a fright.
As if he had seen a ghost, he tossed Old Mo away with a horrified look on his face. "Those who speak human language are called monsters. You … you're a monster!"
He didn't know that this young master was so knowledgeable.
No one could form a blood contract with a monster. At this moment, the young master came to his senses. That person wasn't admitting defeat but was telling the truth. This ink jade dragon was indeed not the other party's pet beast.
In this case, the Blood Severing Talisman would be useless. He couldn't borrow the talisman's power to suppress the pet beast with the power of a blood contract.
"I miscalculated!" A thought popped up in the young master's mind.
However, he was a well-known figure in Tianxuan Royal City and had seen all kinds of situations. At this moment, he no longer had the thought of taking Old Mo away.
A jade dragon pet beast was a good thing, but a jade dragon monster wasn't.
If a monster couldn't form a blood contract, it had no value in itself.
Besides, the fact that the person opposite them could make a monster obediently follow him proved his strength.
This young master was a businessman who cared about profits. If there were no profits to be had, he wouldn't be interested in doing it.
In his eyes, these people in front of him no longer had any value. Without value, there was no profit to be had.
With a cold snort, he turned around and left.
"Trying to leave? Not so easy." Just then, Gu Mengzhong raised a finger and the ink sword in his hand flew out. The despicable act of snatching someone's pet beast and leaving without a second thought had clearly infuriated Gu Mengzhong.
"I can come and go as I please. Who can stop me?" The young master sneered. With a swing of his bare hand, he deflected the ink beast sword with an ingenious angle.
His movements were confident and at ease. Then, he strode away. His silhouette flickered, and in a few moments, he disappeared into the crowd.
Once he left, the other scammers and the bald shopkeeper dispersed. Gu Mengzhong wanted to give chase but Lin Jin stopped him with a hand.
"Master Gu, didn't you say that a powerful dragon can't suppress a snake in its own land? Stop chasing after him."
