BTTH: Becoming Queen Medusa’s Guardian Spirit from the Start

Chapter 122: The Arrogant Third Young Master of the Xiao Clan If It's in My Hands, It's Mine

Both Xiao Yan and the stall owner looked at Wu Tian with strange expressions.

They watched as he bought out the neighboring stall's goods as well,

Without even checking what they were,

Throwing down two thousand gold coins without a second thought.

The two vendors could barely contain their excitement.

Their entire stall had only two magic cores,

Along with some worthless junk

At most, they'd be lucky to sell everything for a thousand gold coins.

Yet now, they'd just doubled their earnings.

Without hesitation, they took the money and bolted,

Not even handing over the goods yet,

As if terrified this rich young master would change his mind.

Wu Tian couldn't help but feel speechless.

"Do I look like someone who'd go back on a measly two thousand gold coins?"

As Wu Tian stored everything into his spatial ring,

Xiao Yan suddenly felt a sense of unease.

This bastard definitely did it on purpose.

Now that the stall owner had already taken the money,

How could he possibly still sell the magic core and iron fragment to Xiao Yan?

Feeling the urgency of the situation,

Xiao Yan quickly spoke up to the stall owner.

"You already agreed to sell it to me "

"That means it's mine!"

Without waiting for a response,

Xiao Yan swiftly shoved the items into his arms.

The mercenary stall owner furrowed his brows at first,

But quickly shrugged it off.

He had a different plan in mind.

To him, this wasn't a problem at all.

He had just closed a deal with Xiao Yan,

And now, Wu Tian was offering to buy everything else for two thousand gold coins.

That was two separate transactions.

So, why not cash in on both?

It was a win win for him.

After all, every street vendor here was a ruthless businessman.

However…

Would things really go as smoothly as he expected?

The mercenary reached out his hand toward Xiao Yan,

Forcing a polite smile as he said:

"Young Master, I run a small business here."

"Since you've taken the items, you'll need to pay first."

"As we agreed 470 gold coins."

Wu Tian blinked at Xiao Yan,

Looking at him with amusement.

"Let's see how this 'fallen young master' is going to handle this…"

Xiao Yan ignored him completely,

Pretending not to hear the stall owner.

The mercenary frowned,

Then waved his hand in front of Xiao Yan's face,

His expression darkening.

"Young Master, don't tell me you don't have the money?"

"If that's the case, you're committing fraud "

"And I'll have to report you!"

Hearing those words,

Xiao Yan felt incredibly awkward.

Three years ago,

A few hundred gold coins meant nothing to him.

But now?

It was an astronomical amount.

Where the hell was he supposed to get that much money?

And worse

This damn merchant actually wanted to report him?

Does he even know whose market this is?!

The entire trading district was controlled by the Xiao Clan.

Clearly, it had been way too long since Xiao Yan had last been out in public.

Even street vendors no longer recognized him.

Well then…

It seemed he'd have to remind them.

With a smug expression,

Xiao Yan clasped his hands behind his back.

His aura shifted

And for the first time in years,

He radiated the arrogant confidence of the Xiao Clan's Third Young Master.

If anyone who had known him three years ago saw him now,

They would instantly recognize that the old Xiao Yan had returned.

In an overbearing tone, he said:

"Merchant, the items are in my hands now "

"So they belong to me."

"Since when do you have the right to ask me for money?"

Then, with a cold smirk, he added:

"Oh, I forgot to introduce myself."

"My name is Xiao Yan "

"My father is Xiao Zhan."

Wu Tian, who had been packing up his purchases,

Nearly burst out laughing.

"Is this guy really pulling the 'my dad is rich' card?!"

"Is he trying to flex his last name in public?!"

The mercenary vendor immediately tensed up.

If it was just Xiao Yan, he wouldn't care.

Hell, he might even kick him aside.

But Xiao Zhan was a different story.

As the patriarch of the Xiao Clan,

He could squash a mere street vendor like an ant.

The mercenary hesitated,

Then forced a smile and said:

"Of course, Young Master Xiao."

"Your name is well known throughout Wu Tan City!"

"Since that's the case, I'll give you some face."

"But this magic core cost me and my brothers a lot "

"We got injured retrieving it, you know?"

"How about I give you a small discount?"

"Just 450 gold coins."

Xiao Yan's face twitched violently.

450 gold coins?

450?!

"Are you f*ing kidding me?!"**

He had bragged about his father's status

And all he got was a 20 gold coin discount?!

His face turned pale.

He barely even had seven gold coins.

Where the hell was he supposed to get 450?!

Still, he kept his fake smile intact,

And casually replied:

"Do I look like someone who carries money around?"

"So, how about this "

"You want me to go home and get it, or do you prefer… installment payments?"

The mercenary's expression darkened.

"Installment payments?"

Xiao Yan smirked.

"I'll pay you what I have now "

"And I'll settle the rest in a week."

At that moment, the mercenary finally realized

This fallen young master was flat broke.

Still, he pressed further:

"How much do you have right now?"

Xiao Yan flashed a confident grin.

"Seven gold coins."

"I'll pay the rest later."

The mercenary stared at him in disbelief.

Seven gold coins?!

SEVEN?!

This bastard was robbing him in broad daylight!

Just as the merchant's fury was about to explode

A familiar voice rang out again.

"I'll pay two thousand gold coins "

"I want everything on this stall."

The mercenary's anger vanished instantly.

His face lit up like a blooming flower.

Finally!

A real customer!

But when he turned to look

His smile instantly froze.

Because Wu Tian had completely ignored his stall…

And had skipped right over him

Heading straight for another vendor further down the street.

The mercenary's face twitched violently.

Realization dawned on him.

Wu Tian had deliberately avoided his stall

Just because Xiao Yan was there.

His expression turned ugly.

"Xiao Yan… YOU SON OF A !!!"
