Chapter 244 - 244 Red Half-Spiritual Fruit
244 Red Half-Spiritual Fruit
“Mr. Neal, it’s noisy outside. Come in with me to get some rest!” Kendrick Lua ignored Yash Wonka.
Braydon Neal was holding Heather Sage’s cold little hand. He could feel her curiosity about the things around her. He said calmly, “It’s fine. I’ll show them around.”
“Alright, if there’s anything you need, just tell me!” Kendrick looked like he was willing to follow his orders.
Little did he know that he was not qualified to follow King Braydon!
Yash accompanied Kendrick as he left. He could not help but ask, “Master Lua, who is that young man just now?”
“Someone your market can’t afford to offend!” Kendrick answered in a straightforward manner.
It was not Kendrick’s first day out in the world, and Braydon did not even reveal his identity. If he carelessly revealed Braydon’s identity and made this big shot unhappy, he only needed one sentence to make Kendrick disappear from the face of the earth.
Yash’s eyelids twitched slightly, but he did not ask further.
In this bustling market.
“Let go of my hand, Little Braydon! I want to walk around!” Heather’s nose wrinkled.
“Be careful, don’t leave my sight.”
Braydon’s gentle voice was filled with tenderness.
“I know, I’m not a child,” Heather said innocently.
Braydon did not know whether to laugh or cry. This girl had experienced the Black Sword Association’s kidnapping incident, yet she was still not on guard against martial artists.
Martial artists respected martial arts and revered martial strength. Most of them were ruthless and merciless.
With Heather and Xana Thomas’ lively personality, they would be at a disadvantage if they provoked a martial artist. That was why Braydon told them not to leave his sight.
“Brother Braydon, have you noticed?” Joseph Thomas said arrogantly. “The people behind this newly opened market are really powerful. They’ve even invited Daoists, monks, and martial artists.”
Braydon chuckled.
Among the martial artists gathered here, it was rare to see a warlord level martial artist. They were all low-level martial artists. It was obviously very difficult to attract Braydon’s attention.
If Joseph had not deliberately kept him in suspense, Braydon might not have even come.
There would not be anything good in a small martial artist market of this level.
Braydon’s indifference made Joseph shrug helplessly. He knew that Braydon had always been like this.
Joseph’s eyes were vicious. From afar, he saw someone standing under a big tree and taking out something from a snakeskin bag, attracting the attention of many martial artists.
The most eye-catching thing was a half-inch-long white jade box. It was tightly sealed, and inside it lay a scarlet fruit. It was bright red and glistening.
Half-spiritual fruit!
Anything related to spiritual herbs was rare.
“Brother, give me a price for the Snake Spiritual Fruit!” asked a warrior immediately.
“There’s no rush. The market hasn’t officially opened yet. There’s no need to worry about selling good things.”
The middle-aged stall owner was wearing a baseball cap. The brim of the cap was pressed very low, and the left sleeve of his shirt was pressed low, making it impossible to see his face clearly. His voice was low and indifferent.
The surrounding martial artists also understood what he meant.
To come to the market to sell things, they had to give face to the owner.
If the owner had not even said anything and others were to start doing business here, that was obviously being disrespectful and not following the rules. If they were to be chased out because of that, that would be embarrassing.
Joseph was slightly moved.
Spiritual fruits could cure all kinds of diseases, strengthen muscles and bones, and strengthen one’s physique and blood. When a martial artist improved their physique, they would increase their basic strength.
When one reached the warrior level and warlord level, they would understand the importance of their physique when they had the explosive power of light force and dark force.
If one’s body was not strong enough to support the explosive power of light force, it would directly limit the growth of his strength.
Therefore, all martial artists were in urgent need of spiritual fruits and spiritual herbs.
A group of young people walked over. They were all in their twenties. One of them was wearing branded casual clothes. He looked at Joseph in surprise.
“Joseph Thomas?” he asked tentatively.
“Did someone say my name?”
Joseph turned around and looked at the young man in casual clothes. “Zion and Scarlett, you guys are here too.”
After saying that, Joseph secretly cursed Yash for being a bastard.
Before they entered the market, he said that it was overcrowded and that they were not allowed to enter. In the end, what were Zion Levin and Scarlett Zelly, these ordinary people, doing here?
Zion Levin was a martial artist, so it was understandable.
However, Scarlett Zelly and the others were all ordinary Preston University students, yet they managed to sneak in.
Zion smiled brightly. “We arrived an hour earlier than you. At first, there weren’t many people. One of the people in charge of the market is an old friend of my father’s, so it’s not a big deal to come here to play.”
He was showing off!
Joseph had paid Yash 200,000 dollars just to get in.
“Zion, the red fruit in that jade box is the half-spiritual fruit you mentioned, right?” Scarlett said enviously.
“Yes, if you like it, I’ll buy it for you later and give it to you!” Zion said calmly.
This caused the other students to feel envious.
They had been wandering around here for a long time and had already come into contact with martial artists. They knew some things and knew that the half-spiritual fruit was very expensive.
“You don’t have to.” Scarlett pretended to be embarrassed.
“It’s nothing!” Zion smiled faintly.
“Pretentious b*tch!” Joseph spat.
These two words exposed the fact that Joseph was a straightforward fool.
There was a reason why this guy was still single.
He was single because of his own ability. No one could do anything about it!
“Joseph Thomas, are you talking about me?” Scarlett shouted.
“I only said ‘pretentious b*tch’, what does it have to do with you? Disgusting!”
Joseph had always been stubborn and never cowered.
Scarlett was so angry that she wanted to skin him alive.
Braydon’s expression was calm. He did not care about Joseph’s argument at all. His attention was focused on Heather, who was not far away.
She and Xana stood in front of a stall for a long time, as if they had taken a fancy to something.
“Boss, how much is this hairpin?”
Heather bent down and picked up the golden hairpin at the stall. It was inlaid with a gentle jade piece, like a phoenix pattern, and it was very exquisite.
There was a clear difference between a girl’s focus and a straight man like Joseph.
The half-spiritual fruit was what Joseph was eyeing.
When Heather bought something, she first looked at the appearance. If it was beautiful, she would want to buy it.
Perhaps this was a common problem for girls.
Just as she picked up the hairpin, it broke in half.
How could something that was perfectly fine break?
In other words, they were defective products from the start and were temporarily glued together.
The stall owner had a shrewd look on his face. When he saw the extraordinary temperament of the two girls, he immediately jumped up and revealed a fierce expression. “You broke my golden hairpin. Do you know how expensive this thing is?”
The obvious attempt to scam them was written all over his face. Heather was dumbfounded.
She held the hairpin in her hand, looking a little innocent.
This thing was broken to begin with!
In the end, it was placed in the most conspicuous place by the unscrupulous stall owner, ready to scam people at any time.
Xana rolled her eyes. “Uncle, your acting skills are terrible. Can you be more professional? Anyone can tell that you’re acting. I know a ruthless person. Don’t think that he’s calm and collected, he’s really ruthless when he fights!”
