The Anarchic Consort Chapter 948 - His Highness Was A Pauper?

948 His Highness Was A Pauper?

The driver thought that they were the usual cash cows that were easily deceived. He had no idea how advanced the equipment hidden within Helian Wei Wei’s hair was. Besides capturing sound and image, the mini gadget could also transmit data to the Internet at the same time.

The driver did not even realize that his license plate number had been taken down and everything he said was being recorded too…

It was exactly how the middle-aged man had described, the driver put Helian Wei Wei’s family on a tour bus that collected individual travelers. These buses departed from a bus station in Li City, they were then put on a schedule with an a.s.signed tour guide to every bus.

The tour guide in charge of Helian Wei Wei’s family called himself Tour Guide Xiao and he was a Li City local. He was pretty humorous and he talked quite a bit about the local culture and customs in the first 10 minutes of their departure. At first he sounded pretty normal, but the more he spoke, his intention of selling jade became more obvious.

At this point, some who had woken up early in the morning were starting to take naps on the bus. Some were here to have fun so they just wanted to chat among themselves. After all, it was a one-hour journey to the scenic spot.

Tour Guide Xiao started to express his discontent. He glanced at the two girls who were chatting lowly and said, “Please don’t talk when I am trying to introduce something to you, this is basic manners. Alright, listen to me. You are all here to have fun, so it is important to adopt the correct att.i.tude when you travel. If you see something you like you should grab it quickly, we are arriving at our destination soon. I hope I don’t have to look for you when we are there, some people just hide in the toilets when they get there. We are not monsters and beasts, you don’t have to hide from us. You are out to have fun so you shouldn’t worry about splurging. The goods we provide are of good quality, we are quite close to Myanmar here so you should take advantage of that…”

His entire speech was hinting at the jades. Helian Wei Wei could sense that the two female college students were feeling conflicted when they heard his speech and they were discussing something in low voices.

The destination they arrived at was the Grand Jubilee Jewelry Mall mentioned by the middle-aged man. There was a dazzling array of jades within, and there was even an underground stone gambling den.

Every stone was marked with a price, you could cut it if you liked. As the saying goes, a cut could determine your wealth. It had its origins in stone gambling, if your cut showed jade, it meant that you’ve hit the jackpot.

This was something that usually intrigued Little Qingchen, but after looking at all the stones in the market, he threw up his little hands for very few of them were jade.

He was not interested anymore so he followed Baili Shangxie obediently as they looked around together.

After one round of strolling, Little Qingchen came back and reported to Helian Wei Wei with his little face raised, “I’ve seen everything. Basically, every piece of jade here is overpriced. The feet grinding jade Uncle Monkey gave me could be sold at forty thousand here, but Uncle Monkey said he only bought it for four thousand. Everything here is really expensive.”

“That means we are on the right track.” Helian Wei Wei smiled evilly and pressed on her Bluetooth earphone, “Monkey, are you there?”

On the other side of the phone, Monkey paused his League of Legends game and spoke excitedly, “Boss, is Little Boss looking for me? I knew he would need me.”

“Get lost!” Old A pushed Monkey away, “Little Boss would ask for me first before looking for you.”

Helian Wei Wei could not help but hold her forehead while she waited for them to quiet down, “Alright, let’s get down to business. Monkey, please find out who owns Li City’s Grand Jubilee Jewelry Mall and the connections behind it. After you’re done investigating, send me the photos in 10 minutes. I want to see everything you have about this place after 10 minutes.”

“Yes.” The rough men behaved differently when they were in work mode.

Monkey was responsible for hacking while the others were responsible for gearing up. They had gotten permission from Young Master Tang, so as soon as they had irrefutable evidence, they could arrest the related personnel on the spot discreetly.

Such an operation was considered an S-grade mission on the mainland. That means no one else would know anything about it as all the deployments were made directly by Tang Sect.

Therefore, the atmosphere in Li City was still calm.

Almost one hour later, Tour Guide Xiao paced over. Once he saw that the two female college students were empty-handed without any purchase, his att.i.tude turned bad. With a stern cold face, he spoke to them, “We’re all here to enjoy the services but you two did not buy a single thing. With this kind of behavior you shouldn’t even travel, why don’t you stay at home instead.”

No one liked to be lectured in this manner, one of them was more direct so she reb.u.t.ted, “We’re here to travel not to shop. We don’t feel like buying anything so we won’t.”

Tour Guide Xiao’s nostrils flared when he heard her reply and he replied maliciously, “A girl shouldn’t speak so aggressively. Buying something here would keep you safe you know.”

The other female student started to be afraid when she saw how he behaved. She reached out her hand to drag her friend away.

A few tour guides looked in their direction. They did not look friendly at all.

They were girls after all. If a conflict happened, they would really get the short end of the stick as they were on foreign grounds.

Seeing that they had withdrawn and would not cause any more trouble, Tour Guide Xiao allowed them to stand aside in annoyance. Then he turned and saw that Helian Wei Wei’s family was empty-handed as well. He walked to Baili Jia Jue and sneered, “It seems like you have not bought anything too. Brother, I will tell you the same, if you don’t have the money you shouldn’t travel. If you are not spending any money when you’re out, what’s the difference between you and those who beg and scrimp? Paupers should just stay home.”

Poor? Pauper? Beg and scrimp?

When Baili Shangxie heard these adjectives, he was still holding Little Qingchen’s hand but he raised his head slightly.

If they told this human how much jewels they had in the demon realm, he would probably freak out.

Furthermore, when they were in the United Kingdom, his Imperial Father had expanded their business in the human realm in order to locate his Imperial Mother faster. Their wealth was far greater by China’s standards. In his opinion, this human’s end was fast approaching.

Because the smile playing on the corner of his Imperial Father’s lips was too obvious, it was so obvious that all the existing or concealed creatures around felt a strong sense of uneasiness. This included the two reapers held by Little Qingchen.

“Is this person stupid, huh? Is he stupid?!”

He could trifle with others but he had to provoke the Great Demon King. The Demon King could destroy the entire human realm if he was unhappy, d.a.m.n, what a r.e.t.a.r.d!

People like him should be condemned to the eighteen layers of h.e.l.l immediately, he should not be allowed to parade his dumbness in the human realm!

“Why? Have you lost your tongue? Don’t tell me you’re scared out of your wits…”
