Chapter 926 Can I Use This?

“This way, please, sir!” The teal-robed young man led Ding Hao through the long hall and came to the counter for withdrawal on the east side. Then he left respectfully.

“What would you like to withdraw? Please show me your passbook,” said a stout middle-aged manager, who looked very amiable, with a smile. He was standing behind the counter.

Ding Hao thought for a moment. Frowning, he shook his head and said, “Passbook? What is a passbook? I don’t have one.”

The stout middle-aged manager’s expression did not change. He still said extremely patiently, “Now that you don’t have a passbook, what can I do for you…”

Before his voice died away, a sonorous voice sounded from another side. The man sneered and said, “So saucy! How dare you step into Shengyuan Bank without even a passbook? You look like a poor guy. Why don’t you have a good look at yourself? Don’t come to such a place to make a fool of yourself. Get out of here quickly!”

Ding Hao turned his head to look at the man.

A young man in splendid clothes was walking over with a disdainful look, followed by four or five people. One of them was Ding Sha, one of the peerless geniuses of God’s Palace.

Beside Ding Sha was a beautiful girl with long golden hair. She was the Mermaid Princess of the Sea Clan.

“Stop looking! I’m talking about you.” The young man became even more arrogant.

He should be one of Ding Sha’s attendants as well as a playmate. With an arrogant and frivolous look, he glared at Ding Hao with a condescending expression.

Ding Hao was about to say something, but Ding Sha waved his hand impatiently and said, “Don’t be nosy… Your Highness, this is the largest bank in the entire Stone Mouth City. Now that you want to sell some treasures from the deep sea, I believe they are able to buy them.”

The Mermaid Princess of the Sea Clan nodded and said with a smile, “Thank you for your help.”

Ding Sha smiled faintly and said, “In fact, if you need mysterious crystals, just tell me. Although I’m not an extremely rich man, I have some savings on hand. Just take them. Why do you have to come to the bank to exchange these treasures?”

“No gains without pains.” The Mermaid Princess refused him with a smile. She glanced at Ding Hao subconsciously, and a strange feeling arose in her heart. The man’s aura was familiar to her as if she had seen him somewhere.

But she didn’t pay much attention to him. She came to the counter, raised her hand, and took out a few things.

There was at once an extraordinary light flowing in front of the counter.

“Well…” The chubby middle-aged manager glanced at those things and said in shock, “These things are too precious. I’m only a manager at the counter. I can’t make a decision. Please wait for a moment. I will ask the senior manager to come.”

“Sorry to trouble you,” said the Mermaid Princess quietly and elegantly.

The fat middle-aged manager at the counter left hastily.

Ding Hao glanced at the counter and was also a bit shocked.

As expected of a princess of the Sea Clan, she had brought very precious treasures. What she wanted to sell was all extremely rare. Besides ten Flood Dragon Essence Elixirs, Sea Crown Coral, and Long-lived Dragon Turtle Shells, there were also a few rare terrifying concentrated ores from the bottom of the sea, which were emitting a strange aura.

All these things were priceless treasures.

No wonder the princess of the Sea Clan wanted to sell them to Shengyuan Bank. No one in other places could afford to buy so many treasures of the Sea Clan. She wanted to exchange them for so many mysterious crystals. What she would do with the mysterious crystals was unknown.

After a short time, the fat middle-aged manager came back with a lean old man in a golden robe.

The lean old man was tall and slender, his face was dignified and his appearance was imposing. He glanced at the treasures on the counter, but his expression did not change. Instead, he cupped his hands and said in a tone that was neither humble nor pushy, “You are our honorable guests. Please forgive me for not welcoming you earlier.”

“You do know how to show respect, old man. Her Highness wants to exchange these treasures for mysterious crystals. Name your price quickly,” said the arrogant young man, who first appeared, proudly.

The Mermaid Princess looked a bit angry.

This young man from the Human Clan was too arrogant. If there was something he wanted to say, he could say it nicely. However, he was insulting others. His cultivation was too shallow. It was really a shame to go with a man like him.

Ding Sha also frowned.

But the lean old man was poker-faced. He didn’t even spare a glance at the young man. After he carefully inspected the treasures on the counter, he announced the most reasonable price. The princess of the Sea Clan didn’t try to bargain with him. She practically nodded in agreement.

“1.3 million top-grade mysterious crystals in total. Your Highness, would you like to be paid in cash or apply for a VIP card of our bank?” asked the lean old man.

The princess of the Sea Clan thought for a moment. Then she said, “Please give me a VIP card. I’ve heard of Shengyuan Bank in the deep sea. On the Eastern Continent, the VIP card of Shengyuan Bank seems to be more precious than mysterious crystals.”

“Your Highness, we are flattered.” The lean old man looked quite proud. Obviously, he approved of the bank very much. He said, “There are four kinds of VIP cards in Shengyuan Bank: Common Card, Red Card, Gold Card, and Platinum Card. You can apply for a Red Card because you have 1.3 million mysterious crystals in our bank. Considering you are of noble status and an honored guest who has been taken here by Prince Ding Sha, I’ve decided to give you a Gold Card. What do you think, Your Highness?”

He was clever to say these words. He flattered the Mermaid Princess and Ding Sha while maintaining his composure.

“Thank you.” The Mermaid Princess nodded with a smile.

During the whole process, Ding Hao was ignored. He was wearing an ordinary gown made of teal cloth. After changing his appearance, his temperament was extremely ordinary. He did not look like a rich man at all. It was reasonable that he had been ignored.

“Come here. Put away these treasures of the Sea Clan carefully…” The lean old man turned around and ordered an employee of the bank to come over and carefully move away the treasures.

At this moment, Ding Hao, who had been silent, suddenly said, “Wait a minute. Sir, do you think the bank is willing to sell these concentrated ores from the deep sea?”

The lean old man was stunned. He glanced at Ding Hao and nodded, saying, “If someone can afford the price, we are certainly willing to sell them. We are a bank, not an exchange. Everything should be settled with mysterious crystals.”

Ding Hao nodded and said, “Well, in that case, I’ll buy these concentrated ores from the deep sea.”

The lean old man was a bit surprised. Finally, he looked straight at Ding Hao and said, “Okay, four concentrated ores from the deep sea cost one million top-grade mysterious crystals in total.” The price was three or four times higher than the previous purchasing price. The bank was demanding an exorbitant price.

Ding Hao nodded in agreement.

The principle of all merchants was to buy at a low price and to sell at a high price.

“Please show us your passbook in our bank. You can also buy them with mysterious crystals.” Seeing that Ding Hao agreed to such a big deal without hesitation, the lean old man immediately knew that he had an extraordinary background. The lean old man’s attitude had also become respectful.

Ding Hao shook his head. “I don’t have a passbook or mysterious crystals…”

Before he could finish his words, the arrogant young man sneered again and said, “Hahaha, you pauper, are you out of your mind? You have nothing. How dare you covet the treasures of the princess of the Sea Clan? Who do you think you are? How can such precious treasures of the Sea Clan be owned by a poor man like you? Go away!”

Ding Hao suddenly turned his head and looked over. A sharp light of killing intent flashed in his eyes.

For a moment, everyone present was stunned. An inexplicable chill rushed from their backs to the top of their heads. It seemed that something terrible was about to break out at this moment.

“If you say one more word, I’ll knock out your teeth,” said Ding Hao word by word, staring at the arrogant young man.

The arrogant young man shivered all over and couldn’t help but take a few steps back. He couldn’t hide the horror on his face. He came to his senses after a long while. He became angry from embarrassment, saying loudly, “Who do you think you are? Who the fuck do you think you are? How dare you threaten me? You fucking…”

Before his voice died away—

Slap!

With a loud slap in the face, the arrogant young man was directly sent flying.

White teeth were dancing in the air.

The slap was extremely ingenious. It had knocked away all the young man’s teeth, but it didn’t hurt any other part of his body. There wasn’t even a drop of blood flowing out.

Ding Sha’s pupils immediately contracted slightly.

The Mermaid Princess’s beautiful eyes were also fixed on Ding Hao for a moment, and the strange feeling in her heart was even stronger.

The more powerful a master was, the more he could see Ding Hao’s extraordinary strength in that slap.

Ding Sha took a step forward. Looking anxious, he said, “It was too heavy a blow.”

“Are you Ding Sha, the Holy King Body?” Ding Hao smiled faintly and said, “I heard that you are a top figure in the younger generation of the God’s Palace. Your strength is quite powerful. When you go out in the future, don’t take with you the crazy attendants who will insult everyone they see. Don’t lose face as a descendant of the God’s Palace.”

“I don’t need you to teach me what to do.” Ding Sha looked solemn.

Although he had a bad temper and usually became irritated easily, he was not stupid. The man in front of him knew his identity, but he was still so careless. There was only one explanation: this man was not afraid of him.

Now there were all kinds of people in the Stone Mouth City. People from all walks of life gathered. Even God’s Palace gradually felt powerless and could not control everything as before. In recent days, there were masters from God’s Palace who had been assassinated. The God’s Palace had never been challenged in this way before. Even some geniuses of God’s Palace were being hunted down.

He was about to say something, but the Mermaid Princess, who had been silent, suddenly said, “You’ve bought several concentrated ores from the deep sea. May I ask what you will do with them? With your strength, you don’t need to forge ordinary magical weapons or Precious Weapons, do you?”

The beautiful girl was a little curious.

Among the things she had sold, the Flood Dragon Elixirs were the most valuable. As to the concentrated ores from the deep sea, she mined them when she got bored. She had no time to throw them away. This kind of concentrated ore couldn’t be seen on land. Therefore, for the Human Clan, they were relatively rare. They were also a kind of auxiliary material for forging Precious Weapons, so they were quite popular. But the real masters didn’t attach great importance to this kind of concentrated ore because even the top-grade Precious Weapons were of limited help to Martial Sage experts.

Ding Hao glanced at the beautiful Mermaid Princess. Seeing that she had no evil intentions, he thought for a moment and said, “I need something inside them.”

As Ding Hao said so, he took out a Purple-gold Card left by Ding Shengtan. Looking at the lean old man, he asked, “Can I use this in your bank?”
