He had initially set the price at five hundred million, but many experts claimed that the thing was not worth that much. There had been a lot of tourists in Venice recently. He initially thought he would be able to sell the thing, but many people left after taking a few glances at it. They had no intention of buying it. In the end, he had no choice but to lower the price further and set it at three hundred million.
Even so, no one was willing to buy it, until an American showed up in the afternoon. He initially thought he had a chance to sell the thing, but the American said he had to discuss it with his mentor. He thought he had lost the chance.
To his surprise, three Asians came in not long after. They immediately bought the thing without any hesitation. As a result, the two groups of people ended up bumping into one another.
The owner was in a difficult spot. Even though the three Asians were the ones who decided to buy it first and were planning to pay for it, he could not afford to offend the Vice Elder of the Sacred Hall of Liberty!
The Sacred Hall of Liberty Mages already had a respectable status in society, let alone a Vice Elder of the Sacred Hall of Liberty. He could easily shake a city with a stomp of his foot.
"Since you said so, then this …" Hepburn reached out his hand, intending to take Jacker's card.
"Humph!" Pang Lai let out a cough and interrupted Hepburn. He said disdainfully, "I didn't expect a Vice Elder of the Sacred Hall of Liberty to reveal his identity just to steal something. I'm really ashamed of the Sacred Hall of Liberty!"
"Damn old man, what are you talking about!!" Jacker was furious when he heard this and immediately retaliated with a scolding.
Pang Lai's eyes glittered. His eyes immediately turned into a ferocious, pitch-black leopard lunging at the young Jack.
Jack was astounded. He subconsciously took a few steps back. His face turned pale, and he was covered in cold sweat!
"Little thing, watch your words," Pang Lai said coldly.
Jack was having trouble breathing. His eyes were filled with disbelief.
Vice Elder Gisele noticed something too. She was startled too. She observed Pang Lai carefully.
"May I ask who you are … the young ones are being immature, why are you behaving like this?" Vice Elder Gisele sounded a little intimidated, but she did not show any mercy.
"I'm not the kind of person who would use my identity to deceive others. We were the ones who wanted to buy the thing first, so stop messing around!" Pang Lai snapped.
"How can we be unreasonable? We were the ones who saw it first."
"Have you paid for it? Have you negotiated with the owner that this thing belongs to you? If you have paid for it, we have already negotiated. Just now, the owner said that he wanted to sell it to us. Obviously, your disciple only took a fancy to it and didn't say that he wanted to buy it! Boss, don't try to twist the truth just because he's a Vice Elder. If you don't do a fair business, I won't let it go! "Pang Lai said straightforwardly.
Pang Lai's words startled Vice Elder Gisele and Manager Hepburn. Leaving Vice Elder Gisele's feelings aside, she was a Vice Elder of the Sacred Hall. She could do whatever she wanted wherever she went. Not many people dared to oppose her. Therefore, she was used to being rude and unreasonable, yet the old man did not respect her at all!
Manager Hepburn was even more dumbfounded. Judging from the old man's aura, his identity was definitely on par with a Vice Elder of the Sacred Hall of Liberty. What was he going to do now that his little shop had two Buddhas!?
"Manager, I'll let you make the decision then," Gisele harrumphed coldly.
Manager Hepburn looked around and decided to do a fair business in the end. He took the card from Pang Lai's hand.
Since both of them were of high status, Hepburn decided to do a normal business. Either way, the Asian man was the one who bought the item first, and the American man was the one who cut in …
"Aren't you going to tell us your name?" Vice Elder Gisele's tone turned hostile.
The thing was indeed a valuable item. Gisele was obviously displeased that someone else had bought it before her. She did not believe the person was someone important!
"Pang Lai," Pang Lai replied with an unpleasant expression.
Pang Lai took the loot and left with Mo Fan and Jiang Yu, ignoring Gisele and Jack's master and disciple.
Gisele was stunned. It took her quite some time to collect her thoughts.
A long time after Pang Lai and the others left, Jacker, who had recovered from his shock, asked anxiously, "Teacher, why did you let them go just like that? What gives them the right to act so arrogantly in Venice? What gives them the right to do so? How dare they disrespect our Sacred Hall of Liberty! "
"You should be more careful when you talk to him. I'm not asking you to respect him, but he has a special identity. You're still young, so don't let him catch you red-handed," Gisele said.
"Who exactly is he?"
"He's the strongest Royal Mage in China, ranked on the Heaven Ranking, one of the top three Summoners in the world," Gisele said.
Jacker's mouth immediately opened. Just as he was about to reveal a look of horror, he heard the sound of something being knocked over behind him.
Jack and Gisele turned around and saw Hepburn had knocked over a lot of rare magic ores on the table.
Hepburn rose to his feet and quickly tidied up his things, so the others would not see him in such a sorry state. He drew a cross on his chest after he was done.
Oh God, luckily I made a fair decision. Otherwise, I would be in great trouble!
…
After leaving the marketplace, Jiang Yu followed behind Pang Lai and giggled, "Lecturer, you were so cool just then. You managed to stun the guy without revealing your identity. You even gave him your name in the end, hiding your achievements and fame!"
"The people of the Sacred Hall of Liberty have always been arrogant. I've disliked them for a long time. I happened to stumble into them today, and I'm already a lot calmer now that I didn't teach the Vice Elder a lesson!" Pang Lai might look like an immortal, but it turned out that he had a wild temper, too.
Mo Fan was quite pleased, too. That old woman had really put herself in the line of fire. She thought she could use her identity to rob the Sacred Hall of Liberty …
He did not even ask who Pang Lai was. Even though the Royal Mages of China were not as famous as Parthenon, those who were familiar with the Royal Mages knew that they were a bunch of powerful Mages with advanced magic. They had been focusing on their cultivation for a hundred years, and rarely did anything useful. If a fight broke out, the Mages of the Sacred Hall of Liberty and the Royal Mages of the Sacred Hall of Liberty were evenly matched.
Meanwhile, Gisele was only a Vice Elder of the Sacred Hall of Liberty, while Pang Lai was the chief of the Sacred Hall of Liberty. Even the president of the Sacred Hall of Liberty would personally welcome him when he went to the United States. The difference between their statuses was three levels.
As for their strength, it went without saying that Pang Lai could easily crush Vice Elder Gisele with just a single Minor or Fourth Element!
…
"Thank you for your help, Mr. Pang Lai. I'm sorry to have to trouble you," Mo Fan was always sweet-talking when he had to. He was as smooth as a fox. After all, Pang Lai had indeed done him a great favor!
"What's the big deal? I said I'd pay for you just now just to piss off that old hag. Even blood-related brothers have to settle accounts clearly. My money wasn't stolen. Give me your money first. As for the rest of the money … you can get some good stuff from the treasure hunt and give it to me as payment!" Pang Lai did not play by the rules. His words greatly damaged Mo Fan's impression of Pang Lai, who had the demeanor of an immortal!
Sigh, why was it that in other TV dramas and novels, those powerful old men would have a flash of insight and easily give gifts worth billions upon seeing that the main character's physique was exceptionally good? Why was it that he was so poor? A mere three hundred million, and this old man was fussing with him!
Mo Fan did not dare to say that he was not going to pay back the money. He gave the remaining one hundred and fifty million to Pang Lai. He would pay back the remaining one hundred and fifty million from the treasure hunt.
"Everything is here. Just follow my instructions and you will get a share of the reward, right? By the way, the Battle Soul I got for you is definitely something good. If it weren't for the fact that Jiang Yu isn't suitable for it, I would have bought it for him … you're lucky!" Pang Lai reminded Mo Fan.
"Master, we bought it!" Jiang Yu reminded him helplessly.
"That's right, they are the ones that are trying to steal it," Pang Lai nodded. He gradually regained his calm demeanor.
…
…
According to Pang Lai's instructions, Mo Fan had to improve his Summoning Element first.
Holding the Galaxy Vein that he had spent seventy million on, Qin Nan could not help but feel nervous.
He was worried that the energy in the Galaxy Vein would run out during the crucial moment, resulting in a failure. He would have to spend a huge sum of money to buy another Galaxy Vein.
It was useless to be nervous. Mo Fan focused on meditating. He began to accumulate the energy to break through the barrier of the Summoning Element's Nebula.
The Galaxy Vein continued to provide Mo Fan with energy. Mo Fan felt like he was stepping on a surging wave, trying to break through the barrier in front of him like a hot knife through butter!
Mo Fan had felt a strong resistance every time he tried to level up. However, even though the resistance was the same this time, the energy he accumulated was significantly stronger than before. He managed to break through the barrier in one go, shattering the Nebula and turning it into a Galaxy filled with energy!
The moon-white Galaxy was mysterious and beautiful. It felt like two Galaxy Umbilical Cords were connected to his two Summoned Beasts.
"Awoo ~!"
"Ning ~!"
The Swift Star Wolf and Little Flame Belle cried out, celebrating for Mo Fan. They must have sensed that their master had broken through the bottleneck and entered a broader Summoning Realm. They would soon receive more energy from him …
"Here, Swift Star Wolf, I'll feed you the first mouthful of milk!" Mo Fan followed Pang Lai's instructions and immediately channeled all the energy in the Galaxy Vein into the Swift Star Wolf.
After finishing all of this, Mo Fan immediately sat down and consolidated his hard-earned cultivation.
When the Galaxy Vein stabilized, Mo Fan opened his eyes. His eyes were emitting a bright, lunar-white glow.
"Jiang Yu's teacher is seriously impressive!" Mo Fan could not help but exclaim.
Mo Fan initially thought the Galaxy Vein that he had spent seventy million on would be a substandard one, as it did not have enough energy. After all, the price of a standard Galaxy Vein was around a hundred million, and sometimes as high as a hundred and twenty million. It was difficult to guarantee the quality of the Galaxy Vein at such a low price. To his surprise, not only was the Galaxy Vein not a substandard one, its energy was even stronger than the one he had bought from the auction!
