Xiao Zhan was stunned for a long time before he slowly came back to his senses. He took a deep breath and smiled bitterly."Old sir, your actions have really made the Xiao family feel overwhelmed. We are already extremely grateful that you can help the Xiao family at this time. How can we take advantage of you again?”
The black-robed man waved his hand casually and smiled faintly."This bit of profit is not attractive to me. If it wasn't for the fact that I was afraid that you wouldn't feel at ease, I wouldn't have bothered to take that 50%.”
"Big brother, just do as this old gentleman says.”Xiao Bieli said.
As he spoke, Xiao Bieli gave the black-robed man a meaningful glance.
"I'll let you sell these pills. I'll come over and take a look when I have time in the future.”Being swept a glance by Xiao Bieli, the black-robed person immediately felt somewhat uncomfortable.
Then, he stood up and said with a smile,"Ke ke, I still have some trivial matters to attend to, so I won't be staying here for long. Patriarch Xiao, you don't need to send me off.”
With that, the black-robed man walked out of the hall under everyone's watchful eyes.
When he reached the door, the black-robed man suddenly stopped and deliberately said,"Before I leave, let me say something. Xiao Yan is indeed not bad.”
Hearing this, Xiao Zhan was somewhat confused. Just as he was about to speak, the black-robed man had already floated out of the hall and gradually disappeared from sight.
Looking at the disappearing black-robed man, Xiao Zhan sighed after a long time and said with a bitter smile,"Looks like Yan Er and this old mister have an extraordinary relationship. Otherwise, why would he do his best to help us when we don't even know each other?”
Hearing this, Xiao Bieli couldn't help but laugh in his heart."Haha! If you knew that this black-robed man was Little Flame, I wonder what you would think!”
Many clan members of the same age as Xiao Yan involuntarily had envious faces when they heard the black-robed person's words before he left.
After obtaining the black robed person, who was also Xiao Yan, to sponsor this batch of healing medicine, the Xiao clan did not make the slightest noise on the surface. However, in secret, they had already begun to prepare for a counterattack against the alliance between the Jia Lie Clan and the Aoba Clan.
Xiao Zhan and the four elders had strictly forbidden anyone from talking about what they had seen in the main hall of the clan. The matter of the healing medicine was also listed as the highest level of prohibition. No clansmen could tell the outside world, or they would be punished by the clan rules.
Following the silence of the Xiao clan for the past two days, the actions of the two great clans became more and more arrogant. They used all kinds of methods without any fear, wanting to pull away all the remaining merchants in the Xiao clan's market.
Regarding this, the Xiao family remained silent.
Seeing the weak and silent actions of the Xiao clan, some of the small factions on the same side began to become disappointed. They secretly prepared some actions to protect themselves.
Two days passed quietly in this strange atmosphere.
It was another bright and beautiful day with the sun shining high in the sky. The market of the Jia Lie Clan and the Aoba Clan was still as hot as it had been a while ago. On the streets, there were crowds of people. At the place where the Rejuvenation Powder was sold, there were even more people. The shouts, curses, and fighting sounds gathered together, deafening and soaring into the sky.
In one of the Jia Lie Clan's markets, behind the pill sales counter, the sales staff in charge of selling medicine was looking at the mercenaries fighting over the healing medicine with a mocking expression. He secretly mocked in his heart,"Fight, fight, fight. The more lively the fight, the more I earn.”
Jia Lie Ku was a core member of the Jia Lie Clan. His position in the clan was not low, and he controlled the most popular market of the Jia Lie Clan.
Standing at the front desk on the second floor, Jia Lie Ku looked down at the crowded crowd on the street. His fat and greasy face was filled with a proud smile.
During this period of time, the sales of the 'Spring Rejuvenation Powder' had far exceeded the Jia Lie Clan's internal statistics. Under the temptation of this huge profit, the Jia Lie Clan was no longer satisfied. Even the intimidation that Xiao Bieli had left behind for them gradually faded under this temptation.
As a result, they increased the price of the Rejuvenation Powder from 100 gold coins per box to 300 gold coins. The price had tripled.
Although the initial increase in the price had caused quite a number of mercenaries to be disgusted, the sales of the 'Spring Rejuvenation Powder' were equally shady, with the exception of the Jia Lie Clan and the Aoba Clan who were in cahoots with them. Therefore, after a while, although they were extremely dissatisfied, most of the mercenaries could only helplessly accept the reality of being slaughtered.
Humming a little tune, Jia Lie Ku's small eyes narrowed into a line as he proudly said: "If you don't buy it, there are plenty of people who do!"
Extending his short and fat palm to block the scorching sun in the sky, Jia Lie Ku impatiently wiped the sweat off his forehead and muttered: "Damn it, I'm too angry today. Looks like I have to go and cool down tonight. That little girl from last time was really pretty. That small waist, when she twisted it, it really took her life.”When he thought of that enchanting land of depravity, Jia Lie Ku's entire body became unbearably hot. Once again, he wiped off his sweat and suddenly frowned. From the corner of his eye, he saw that the crowd at the end of the street seemed to have become chaotic.
"Damn it, they're fighting again? These mercenaries were all idiots whose brains were stuffed with muscles. Did breaking things not cost money?”Gazing at the chaotic place, Jia Lie Ku angrily cursed.
"The Xiao Clan's market also has healing medicine for sale!”Just as Jia Lie Ku was preparing to send guards to quell the chaos, someone suddenly shouted from the street.
Hearing this sudden shout, the fat on Jia Lie Ku's entire body suddenly trembled violently as he sneered: "Looks like the Xiao clan is really hopeless. They actually came up with such a method. They are simply courting death.”
At the same time, this shout also caused the noisy street to quieten down slightly. After everyone looked at each other, they immediately shouted loudly,"F * ck, don't think of using such an uncouth method to snatch the seat I've been waiting for.”
Obviously, these people thought that this shout was made by some shameless villains who wanted to take the opportunity to squeeze into the front row to buy medicine. After all, such tricks were not uncommon during this period of time.
After cursing, these people continued to fight for the Spring Rejuvenation Powder.
Of course, not everyone had such thoughts. A small portion of the mercenaries who were already disgusted by the profiteering of the Jia Lie Clan hesitated for a moment before they squeezed out of the street in a skeptical manner and walked towards the Xiao Clan's market.
Standing upstairs, Jia Lie Ku looked at the street that was still extremely popular and could not help but laugh proudly: "Xiao family? So what if you have Xiao Bieli, this kid, to hold the fort? Without the support of an economic foundation, let's see how long you can last!”
That shout from before was like a leaf of duckweed that had fallen into the sea in the noisy street. It did not cause any ripples and the popularity of the Jia Lie Clan's market did not suffer any substantial damage.
Of course, this was only temporary.
Roughly an hour later, at the entrance of the Jia Lie Clan's market, several dozen burly men dressed in mercenary uniforms had violently knocked over the guards at the entrance. They rushed in with faces filled with wild joy, raised the green jade bottles in their hands high up, and shouted in unison,"The Xiao family also has healing medicine for sale. I'm a bastard who lied to you.”
The orderly shouts caused the market to fall silent. Everyone's gazes suddenly turned towards the source of the shouts.
The burly mercenary who had rushed in saw the people in the market shifting their gazes over and hurriedly stepped onto a large rock at the side. With a clang, he pulled out the large sword at his waist and gritted his teeth, drawing a bloody wound on his arm.
The large man raised his bloody arm and tilted the green bottle in his hand. A deep red viscous liquid slowly rolled out and covered the scar on his arm. The deep red viscous liquid invaded the wound, and the blood that was gushing out slowly became thinner under everyone's eyes. After a moment, the blood had actually condensed into a thin layer of blood on the scar.
When they saw this scene with their own eyes, the gazes of everyone on the street immediately became fiery hot. Such a rapid bleeding control effect was simply a must-have item when doing missions!
"This is the Xiao Clan's market's newest product, the Blood Coagulation Powder! Not only was it more effective, but its price was also more than twice as low as the Rejuvenation Powder! What are you waiting for? Was it fun to be blackmailed like an idiot? Why aren't you retreating?" The mercenary raised the jade bottle and laughed wildly.
The street was silent.
A mercenary who had just entered the market stared blankly at the green bottle in the burly man's hand. An instant later, he turned around and ran, heading straight for the Xiao Clan's market.
The crowd in the city square was stunned for a moment as they watched the human figure charge out of the city square with all his might. Then, they moved with a loud bang. Their earth-shaking footsteps brought along a tide-like stream of people as they frantically rushed out of the city square.
Standing on the rock, the mercenary who had his arm cut looked at the crazy flow of people. A strange smile appeared on his face. A breeze blew past the collar of the burly man, and the Xiao family emblem vaguely appeared below.
The noisy and crowded market had become empty in the blink of an eye after this great shock. Other than those dumbfounded merchants, there were very few people on the streets.
"The Xiao family has begun to counterattack!" Looking at the empty street, this thought flashed through the minds of all the merchants.
The merchants exchanged glances with one another, before raising their heads and casting their gazes towards Jia Lie Ku, who was in the pavilion. At this moment, the fat man who had a smug expression on his face had already turned pale and collapsed like a pile of mud.
At the same time, in the other markets of the Jia Lie Clan and the Aoba Clan, the same scene was being repeated.
