Uninvited Guest

The appearance of the Pure White Snow Lotus transformed the entire trading center into an auction house. Countless people competed to bid!

Thank you readers!

“I’ll pay 10 million in cash!”

The crowd was in an uproar. A young man who was older than Lu Benwei was dressed in luxurious clothes. He was thin and had sword-like eyebrows and starry eyes. The phoenix-like eyes under his eyebrows revealed a cynical temperament.

“This 10 million is all paid in cash. Who is this young man?”

The appearance of the young man in luxurious clothes attracted the attention of many people. Soon, someone recognized the young man in luxurious clothes.

“This is Liu Benhua’s only son, Liu Yao, right?”

Some people patted their heads and looked enlightened.

“I remember it’s almost Liu Benhua’s 50th birthday. Liu Yao wants to buy the snow lotus as a gift, right?”

“How filial!”

On the side, Lu Benwei listened to everyone’s words and learned some information about Liu Benhua and Liu Yao.

This Liu Benhua was originally a southerner. Twenty-five years ago, he broke into the three northern provinces alone. In the end, he married and had children in Ha City, taking root here. He had been in Ha City for a total of 20 years. During this period, he had been working hard in the business world and had unknowingly become the richest businessman in Ha City.

“Senior, I really like this long white snow lotus in your hand. Can you sell it to me for 10 million?” Liu Yao cupped his hands and said seriously.

The one holding the Pure White Snow Lotus was an old hunter. He was thin, and his hands were covered in thick calluses and bloodstains. His turbid eyes were filled with the hardships of the times. The old hunter hesitated.

In the past few years, there had been a few transactions of Pure White Snow Lotuses in this trading center. The price of the Snow Lotus was determined by its appearance – color and the number of petals.

The starting price of the petals of the Pure White Snow Lotus was nine, and the price fluctuated around one million. With every additional petal, the price would increase by one million.

As for the color, it was mainly pure white. The more flawless and purer the snow lotus was, the higher its price would be.

There was once an 18-petal flawless Pure White Snow Lotus auctioned in this trading center. The transaction price reached an astonishing 20 million.

Now, the petals of the Pure White Snow Lotus in the old hunter’s hand were the same as the flawless snow lotus. The only flaw was that there was a small black shadow on one of the petals. The old hunter planned to sell it for 16 million. After Liu Yao learned of the old hunter’s thoughts, he pondered and said, “Old sir, it’s not impossible to offer 16 million.”

Hearing this, everyone could not help but gasp.

“As expected of Liu Yao. He’s rich and imposing!”

“Sigh, who asked him to have a rich father?”

“Young Master Liu, is that true?”

“Of course, it’s true! But,” Liu Yao said seriously, “I can only take out 10 million now. The remaining 6 million may need to be paid to you within half a year. What do you think?”

The old hunter pursed his lips in dissatisfaction and swept his gaze across the crowd. At this moment, there were many people in the crowd who were staring at him viciously. As the saying went, one was not afraid of thieves stealing, but afraid of thieves thinking about it! It was better to sell such a valuable item as soon as possible.

“Alright, business is always about bargaining. It can’t be perfect.” The old hunter teased him and pulled Liu Yao to the notary office of the trading center.

At the same time, many people followed him.

The Pure White Snow Lotus had been sealed in the magic formation. The old hunter would release the seal after the transaction. Many people had never seen the true appearance of the Pure White Snow Lotus in their entire lives, so they followed him one after another, ready to see his true appearance.

At this moment, Lu Benwei tilted his head and said to the old beggar, “Let’s go. We’ll go too.”

“Ah?” The old beggar blinked in confusion. “It’s not like you don’t have any treasures more precious than this snow lotus. Why do you want to see it?”

“I don’t want to see it.” Lu Benwei shook his head. “I want to make a deal with Liu Yao.”

The old beggar was even more confused.

“What kind of medicine are you selling? Isn’t your goal the Nascent Soul Fruit?”

Lu Benwei ignored him and walked straight to the notary office of the trading center.

The notary office was located in the middle of the trading center market. It was a row of simple portable houses.

A red wooden sign was hung on the outer wall of each house, engraved with the words “objective”, “fair” and “just”. The purpose of its establishment was to provide convenience and authentication for the buyer and seller of such private transactions.

Under normal circumstances, the notary would do it in the room. However, today’s transaction was of great value and attracted everyone’s attention. The person in charge of the notary office simply moved the table outside and let everyone be witnesses.

“If there’s no objection, you can sign here.”

The person in charge raised his eyebrows in excitement. He divided the printed contract into two copies and handed them to Liu Yao and the old hunter.

Liu Yao did not even look at it and ordered his men to get 10 million yuan in cash.

The old hunter looked at it again and again, not letting go of a single word.

“Young Master Liu, what should I do if you don’t pay me the six million on time?” the old hunter noticed this and said with some dissatisfaction.

Liu Yao was stunned. He picked up the treaty and glanced at it.

“Oh, I almost forgot! We’ll add another condition. If I don’t return the money to you on time, I’ll pay you the remaining money at an annual interest rate of 30 percent. As long as I owe you one more day, I’ll pay you one more day of interest! What do you think?” Liu Yao laughed lightly.

Lu Benwei and the old beggar, who were squeezed in front, saw this scene, and could not help but smile at each other.

“The eldest son of the Liu family looks no different from an ordinary rich second generation. I didn’t expect him to have so many tricks up his sleeves.” The old beggar narrowed his eyes.

Lu Benwei nodded and agreed with the old beggar.

At this moment, the old hunter with the Pure White Snow Lotus pursed his lips. “Young Master Liu, there are so many people watching. It’s not good to scheme against me like this, right?” action

The old hunter was also a smart person, so he could tell what Liu Yao was thinking.

“An annual conversion rate of 30 percent. Doesn’t that exceed the standard of the Dragon Kingdom’s law?”

“Really?” Liu Yao asked innocently. Is it against the law to have too high an annual rate?”

Beside him, Liu Yao’s companion whispered in his ear, “If the annual conversion rate is higher than 23 percent, it can be regarded as usury!”

Liu Yao suddenly realized and slapped his thigh.

“Old sir, I’m sorry. I really don’t understand. I’ll change it now!”

“Hmph!” The old hunter snorted in dissatisfaction. “I won’t extort you. The interest rate is 10 percent.”

“No problem!”

Liu Yao was not angry that he did not lie to the old hunter.

“Let’s sign it quickly.”

As soon as he finished speaking, dozens of vans stopped at the entrance of the trading center.
