The tube technique wasnât Gouhaiâs, and he wasnât the best at it. Many artisans could craft this.
It wasnât hard to test if the tube was good or bad.
Now, the six tubes on the ground had Gouhaiâs mark. Even if they couldnât prove that Yindi had bought these from him, it was enough to prove that he sold poor equipment to people.
Explorers and evolved on Earth were the same. They used their lives to gamble each time, and they would die if they were not careful.
Hunting supported the entire infrastructure of society. Anyone who did things to hurt this infrastructure would be looked down upon.
In peacetime, everyone hated people who did fake goods. Moreover, this was a time when people used their lives to hunt.
Scarbi City was built near Heima, which was a fighting city. Most people here were adventurers and knew what poor equipment meant. People who didnât believe Ye Zhongmingâs words looked at the tubes and then at Gouhaiâs expression. They basically confirmed that Ye Zhongming wasnât lying. Their attitudes changed. Their gazes were not friendly, and some hot-tempered ones even started to scold him.
Artisans might have had a high status, but that was because explorers needed them. As there was a limited supply, they were highly valued.
However, they wouldnât respect artisans with a poor reputation, as this concerned their lives. Not only explorers, but the committee and nobles with some power wouldnât allow such things to happen.
âShut up!â
The person in charge of the guards shouted and made everyone quiet down.
The explorers were fearful and respectful of this squad in charge of the cityâs safety.
âIf these tubes are indeed of poor quality, then Gouhai will be punished.â The person looked at Ye Zhongming and changed his tone, âBut this canât prove that they were sold to Yindiâs squad this time. Even if it was, it canât prove that Gouhai didnât give them anything better. Maybe these were just gifts, and he had told them there was a quality issue.â
Hearing the guards' leader say that, Gouhai came to his senses and agreed. He even said that he sold Yindiâs team other good equipment.
âNonsense, what level are we? Do we have money to buy better equipment? Would we buy from a second-rate artisan like you if we were stronger? If you had equipment that could help us get 50 Red Scarft Fruits, would you be so low?â
Yindi calmed down, and his words were more organised. He scolded Gouhai, and his words touched the key points of the issue.
Both sides didnât have enough evidence to prove that they were right, so they used such a questioning method to prove their stance.
In a normal situation, most things happened reasonably, as did equipment sales.
Seeing the situation getting out of control, the city guard in charge ordered his men to suppress the crowd.
This person in charge was worried about Ye Zhongmingâs identity as an outsider; now, Ye Zhongming didnât give him respect and even stopped him from earning money. Gouhai promised him a cut after. Under such circumstances, he wouldnât be nice to Ye Zhongming.
âIt isnât up to you; follow me back to the guard's headquarters.â
He waved and wanted his subordinates to bring all of them away.
If they followed him like that, without the other explorers and other people watching, they could twist the truth. The guardâs headquarters wasnât an easy place to get out of.
Ye Zhongming frowned and considered what to do.
He definitely wouldnât go to the headquarters. If they went, Gouhai would win.
No one would dare force Ye Zhongming to do this on Earth. But this was a secret space. The equipment and skills couldnât be used, so Ye Zhongming had to be worried.
Facing the request, Ye Zhongming thought about it and decided to fight back.
âThis⊠Can we talk by the side?â
He didnât know how to address the captain and could only speak softly to him.
He wanted to give him some benefits to quash this matter.
This was his first time here,, and he didnât want to cause trouble. He wanted to learn about this place first.
Ye Zhongmingâs words meant only one possibility, which was that he was going to bribe him.
As Ye Zhongmingâs words were soft and the person in charge was close to him, only the person in charge and his two subordinates could hear him.
He was stunned and didnât expect Ye Zhongming to be bold enough to use such a method to solve the problem.
If it was someone else, the person in charge would bring this person to the inner store and ask for a bribe before deciding how to handle the situation it based on who bribed more.
But seeing that Ye ZHongming was an outsider, the person in charge wasnât thinking like this.
He acted like he didnât hear anything and ordered his men to bring them away.
The reason why Ye Zhongming swallowed his pride was because he was in a foreign place. This was also a complete world, so he didnât dare to misbehave.
But this didnât mean that the Cloud Peak king, the eight-star evolved that controlled the lives of hundreds of thousands, would be bullied by a small person in charge.
The viciousness and arrogance of an apocalypse evolved took over.
He frowned. The smile disappeared, and what replaced it was his squinted eyes and cold expression.
âIs there really⊠No chance?â Ye Zhongmingâs voice was cold.
The person in charge was terrified and then that turned to rage, âI will definitely bring you away today!â
âAnd if I donât?â
âThen we will help you!â
The person in charge emphasised on help you.
Ye Zhongming nodded, âThen we can only⊠Fight.â
