Red Envelope Group of the Three Realms

Blarrgghh!

Upon hearing that, Lu Changwei almost vomited blood from his mouth. Ever since he spent a great deal of money to buy a fake painting, Lu Changwei was being mocked as a retard with loads of money. This joke had been going around the noble circle for quite some time. It got so serious to the point that Lu Changwei was forced to hide at home to avoid further embarrassment.

Fortunately, most had forgotten about it after some time. And Chen Xiaobei had just ruined everything with merely a single phrase. Immediately, the people around them started to treat Lu Changwei as laughing stock once again.

“Motherf*cker! Do you have a death wish with us?! You are just an outsider! How dare you talk to our Master Wei in such rude manner?!”

“Just tell us that you’re sick of living. We will make sure that you die without a grave!”

“F*cker! Come and apologize to Master Wei right now if you don’t want to be killed right here right now!”

Before Lu Changwei could anything about it, all his friends started defending him. To them, Chen Xiaobei was just an ordinary teenager that was in his twenties. They assumed that he would be dead once he started to mock Lu Changwei.

“Calm down! Everyone calm down please! This is after all the Chamber of Commerce! I hope all of you can show some respect here. Do not mess with Mr. Chen anymore!” said Gu Congwen.

Gu Congwen seemed to have learnt his lesson well after dealing with Chen Xiaobei for a couple of times. During the previous two issues, Gu Congwen had choosen to act as though Chen Xiaobei was a stranger to him. The first time he did that, he missed the chance of having dinner with the governor. And the second time, he missed the chance of presenting himself to the Sumukhwa Master and the governor’s son.

He would never allow the same thing to happen again no matter what. This time, he had decided that he would side Chen Xiaobei no matter what.

“Eh? Manager Gu? Are you crazy? Why are you protecting an outsider?” All of Lu Changwei’s friends quizzed, puzzled.

Chen Xiaobei was to be considered a lowly outsider whilst Lu Changwei and his friends were nobles from Silver Plume City. They could not understand why would Gu Congwen choose to side with Chen Xiaobei. Immediately, Chen Xiaobei changed his impression towards Gu Congwen.

As the saying goes, the wicked makes a good businessman. Gu Congwen had mentioned to Chen Xiaobei that he had always treated him as a trusted ally. Initially, Chen Xiaobei found that really hard to believe but now he finally decided that he would consider him as his trusted ally as well. Chen Xiaobei even began thinking about bringing him something good when the time was right.

“Everyone shut up!”

Lu Changwei let out a loud roar and everyone including his friends took a step back instantly. He was after all, one of the most powerful youngsters in Silver Plume Inner City. To put it in simple terms, he had every right in the world to act arrogantly.

“Gu Congwen? Are you sure that you want to side this motherf*cker?!” asked Lu Changwei in an ice-cold manner.

“Master Wei, please calm down. Chen Xiaobei is a young man and it’s only natural that he likes to kid around. Remember that you are older than him, thus I’m afraid that you might hurt your reputation if you start throwing tantrum at him!” said Gu Congwen in a polite manner.

It was obvious that he was trying to protect Chen Xiaobei.

“Cut the crap! You are embarrassing me, siding him! Is this a joke?! Since you mentioned that I’m not a gentleman, I’ll show you what I am going to do to him! I’m going to beat him to death!”

“Master Wei! Don’t you forget that this is the Chamber of Commerce! Not even the governor is allowed to use violence here! If you break the rules, I’m pretty sure that the commander of Silver Plume City will come looking for you! Do you think you will be able to bear the consequences?!”

“Great! This is terrific! I have forgotten that the Chamber of Commerce is the most powerful of all here! Not even the governor himself dares to disrespect this place! I should refrain from creating a scene here!”

“Business is business. I believe in rules! And I hope that this place will continue to remain as a peaceful place. Peace makes money!”

“Okay! Let’s follow the rules then! What is that motherf*cker trying to buy? I’ll buy them with a higher price! The highest bidder gets the item! That’s the rule of the Chamber of Commerce, isn’t it?!”

“This… You are right. If you manage to come up with a higher price, feel free to buy the items that Mr. Chen is interested in!”

“Great! What is trying to buy? How many Spiritual Stones?”

Lu Changwei turned around and glared at the shopkeeper that stood beside Chen Xiaobei.

“Mr… Mr. Chen wants to buy 100 pieces of Spiritual-tier yellow papers and half a pound of cinnabar! It totals up to 50,000 low-grade Spiritual Stones!” replied the shopkeeper fearfully.

“50,000? Lower-grade? So cheap? How many yellow papers and cinnabars do you have in this shop?”

“These… These two item are extremely valuable. We have a total of a pound of cinnabar and 200 yellow papers… That’s 100,000 Spiritual Stones in total!”

“I’m going to buy everything! And I can pay 110,000 Spiritual Stones!”

All his friends were filled with glee when Lu Changwei tried to mess with Chen Xiaobei.

“Master Wei is so cool! Everyone else would normally try to cut down the price but he has just increased the price of the items that he wants to buy!”

“Well, Elder Gu wants to stick with the rules! So, we will buy everything that that f*cker wants to buy! Let him return empty handed! Hahaha…”

“Money can really solve everything! It’s awesome to follow Master Wei around!”

……..

After listening to all the things that they said, Chen Xiaobei still managed to keep his composure.

“110,000 low-grade Spiritual Stones is equivalent to 110 medium-grade Spiritual Stones only! I can increase the price as well! 120,000 Spiritual Stones!”

Chen Xiaobei’s statement left all of Lu Changwei’s friends in dumbfounded. None of them had ever imagined that Chen Xiaobei could come up with so many Spiritual Stones! While everyone was looking at them both, Lu Changwei would never allow himself to lose to Chen Xiaobei.

“Motherf*cker! You have no right to fight with me! I will pay 300,000 low-grade Spiritual Stones!”

“310,000!”

“500,000!”

“510,000!”

“No f*cking way! One million! I don’t believe that you have more Spiritual Stones than me!” shouted Lu Changwei.

“I’m not going to fight with you anymore! You can have them!” said Chen Xiaobei.

“So, you admit that you are going to surrender to me? You weak shit!”

“One million Spiritual Stones is ten times the original price! Only a retard will continue to fight with you! People always say that you are a rich retard. I used to not believe them in the past. Now, I understand why I should believe it!”
