Chapter 1438: Chapter 1438

"Alright, I'll be waiting." Lin Chen's lips held a smile, a look that could really anger someone to death, nearly driving the Green Giant insane.

"How much is this Phantom Spirit Grass?" the Green Giant asked the medicine vendor, his face looking livid.

The vendor's lips curled into a shrewd, faint smile, "This herb isn't expensive, six million M dollars."

"What six million, old man, you must be crazy about money, you just said it was only two million." The X Group agent who had just snatched the medicine angrily retorted.

The old man glanced at the martial artist with his muddled old eyes: "I never said two million, the medicine is clearly six million."

Although the X Group was formidable, it was clear this old man wasn't afraid of them.

The Green Giant glared icily at the old man, letting out a cold snort: "Transfer the money to him."

The X Group powerhouse grimaced, reluctantly took out a card, and begrudgingly swiped the payment.

"Thank you." The old man smiled broadly, seeing the money hit the card, and directly closed up shop.

The Green Giant glared coldly at Lin Chen: "Kid, just wait, we'll settle this score on Death Island."

The Green Giant let out a cold snort and left angrily with the X Group agents.

"Thank you, Lin Chen!" Alice said gratefully.

Lin Chen smiled faintly: "No need to be polite among family."

The Green Giant left with the X Group agents, and watching their backs, there was a round of enthusiastic applause from those around.

The X Group had always been overbearing, and martial artists from other countries were too afraid to speak out, but this time Lin Chen's lesson to the Green Giant gave them great satisfaction.

Seeing the X Group people leave, the onlookers gradually dispersed.

"Let's go too." Lin Chen chuckled lightly.

As they were about to leave, Lin Chen stopped at a stall.

Not far away, at a stall, an old man with disheveled hair, dressed like a beggar, sat quietly on a meditation mat with his eyes slightly closed.

In front of him was a pile of broken copper and iron scraps.

Compared to other stalls, perhaps his appearance was too slovenly, so no one paid attention to his stall.

Lin Chen's gaze suddenly rested on that pile of scrap metal, and he walked over, picking out a rust-covered dagger.

The reason Lin Chen was interested in this rusty dagger was that he felt a surge of ancient Spiritual Power emanating from it.

Although the aura was very weak, he was almost certain it was an ancient relic.

Holding the dagger in his hand, Lin Chen suddenly felt a suction force from within the dagger, trying to draw out his Spiritual Energy.

Lin Chen paused for a moment, finding the item peculiar.

"How much is this?" Lin Chen looked up and asked the old man.

The old man opened his cloudy eyes, paused for a moment, then smiled lightly: "It's just a broken short sword, are you sure you want it?"

"Yes, I want it for my little nephew to play with," Lin Chen said, feigning indifference. Thɪs chapter is updatᴇd by novel[f]ire.net

Lin Chen knew that the vendors in the ghost market were all black-hearted, and if they found out he was interested in the sword, they'd definitely raise the price sky-high.

The old man suddenly chuckled, a very strange smile.

"If you like it, just say so, what's the point of playing tricks on me?" the old man said faintly.

Lin Chen grinned awkwardly. Since the other party had already pointed it out, he was too lazy to continue wasting time with him.

"Indeed, I do short sword a lot. May I ask how much you're selling it for?" Lin Chen replied.

The old man nodded: "I only sell this short sword to those destined for it. Since this sword and you have a connection, I'll sell it to you at a low price, one million."

As soon as he spoke, the faces of the surrounding martial artists changed slightly.

This old guy was really extorting, selling a rusty broken sword for one million, and he had the audacity to call it a cheap price. Why doesn't he just go rob a bank!

"Hey, old man, you're too greedy. This broken sword isn't even worth a hundred bucks, and you're selling it for a million. Are you crazy about money!" Alice said dissatisfied.

The old man smiled lightly: "This sword holds no value; if you say it's worth a hundred, then it's a hundred, if you say it's a million, it's a million. However, if this sword is not meant for you, even if you offer a billion, I wouldn't sell it to you."

"You!" Alice stamped her foot in anger, about to explode, but Lin Chen stopped her.

"Sir, I'm willing to buy," Lin Chen said firmly.

As he spoke, Lin Chen reached into his pocket, but embarrassingly, he had changed clothes before leaving, and there was no money in his pocket now.

Just as Lin Chen felt a bit awkward, a jade hand suddenly reached over, casually saying: "Swipe the card!"

The old man took the card and looked at Alice meaningfully: "Young man, you're doing alright, having it all."

Lin Chen turned and smiled awkwardly: "Thank you, I'll return the money to you later."

"No need, consider it as thanks for your earlier help. I don't like owing people favors," Alice said casually.

Lin Chen paused for a moment, then smiled: "Getting paid a million to play the bodyguard, well, I've definitely profited."

Putting the rusty sword in his pouch, Lin Chen said to the group: "Alright, it's getting late, let's head back."

The group nodded and followed Lin Chen out of the ghost market.

Just as they returned to the hotel, they saw Zhang Yu.

Seeing Lin Chen and the others return safe and sound, Zhang Yu breathed a sigh of relief.

"I heard you guys got into a fight with the X Group?" Zhang Yu asked.

Lin Chen nodded: "Had a little skirmish with the Green Giant."

Zhang Yu gave a wry smile: "Lin Chen, you're incredible, even the Green Giant isn't your match."

Lin Chen paused: "You already know?"

Zhang Yu took out his phone, "The discussions in the supernatural group are all about your battle with the Green Giant now."

At this moment, Lin Chen's phone suddenly rang, it was a call from Zhang Sanfeng.

"Kid, you're something else, that fight was refreshing. We've been too low-key, allowing these guys to get over their heads. Some people really need a lesson," Zhang Sanfeng said excitedly.

Listening to Zhang Sanfeng's enthusiastic voice, Lin Chen was speechless.

He didn't expect the news to spread so quickly that even Zhang Sanfeng, far away, already knew.

Yet, Zhang Sanfeng's voice suddenly turned serious: "Lin Chen, this time you've provoked the X Group. They certainly won't let it go. I heard the contestants they're sending this time are very strong; you must be careful."

Lin Chen nodded: "Don't worry, I'll pay attention."

"Hmm, you should also rest early, I await your good news." With that, Zhang Sanfeng ended the call.

At this point, Zhang Yu walked over with a ranking list.

"Lin Chen, I just acquired the green list for this martial arts conference."

"Oh!" Lin Chen curiously picked up the list, yet was quite surprised to find himself ranked third, with the top being X Group's Cruz, second from Southeast Asia's Phoenix, and Lin Chen in third.

Cruz, Phoenix, Lin Chen looked at the top two names on the list, his eyes narrowing slightly.
