Chapter 25: Are You Playing With Me?

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Noel, who was standing at the side, was also dumbfounded. Originally, she had seen Li Tianxiang ignore Jacob’s provocation.

She was praising him for the calmness in his heart. However, when she heard Lan’s words, she almost choked.

This had put Li Tianxiang into a difficult situation.

As expected, Jacob smiled at Lan’s indignant rebuttal.

“Then I’ll pay 10,000 gold coins.”

The arrogant look on Lan’s face immediately dimmed. She stole a glance at Li Tianxiang’s expression. At most, she would pay the 6,000 gold coins herself.

However, if it cost 10,000 gold coins, it would be a little painful. Their father gave them a fixed amount of pocket money every month, and she was used to being extravagant, so she naturally didn’t have much savings.

She could only hope that Li Tianxiang would help her.

However, Li Tianxiang ignored them. After handing the magical crystals to Noir, he prepared to open the potion and try it on the spot.

“Don’t tell me you’re so gutless that you need a woman to stand up for you!”

Li Tianxiang stopped what he was doing and looked at Jacob as if he was looking at an idiot. Did he not know that his actions were similar to a clown’s?

If May and Lan did not hate him in the future, they could be said to have too much self-restraint, let alone if he tried to show off in front of them. This was especially the case for Lan, who would probably hate him the most.

However, as a man, Li Tianxiang had no choice but to respond when it came to the question of whether he had the guts.

“Whether you have the guts or not isn’t something that can be verified with money. On the contrary, an ordinary person will pursue what they don’t have. If you want to see whether I have the guts, I’m afraid you don’t have any, right?”

He had only participated in the freshmen debate in the first semester of school.

However, the venom in Li Tianxiang’s mouth was not to be underestimated. At that moment, he was deliberately staring at the area between Jacob’s legs with a regretful expression. Additionally, he had spoken with a peculiar tone earlier.

Thus, Jacob felt his blood rushing to his head and his head buzzed.

“Your Highness, he must be poor!”

At this moment, the servant with a broken arm whispered in his ear.

Jacob’s eyes lit up. He felt that his mind was no longer muddled, and his breathing became easier. He even felt like he was humming a tune.

“Why are you so long-winded? In the end, you don’t have money, do you? If you don’t have money, then go home and wait for your death. Are you here to make an appearance?”

It had to be known that the Heart of the Beast debuff hadn’t disappeared yet. Thus, it was already very difficult for Li Tianxiang to maintain his emotions until now. However, even patient people would eventually lost their temper. Li Tianxiang finally became impatient.

“Tsk, then I’ll pay 50,000 gold coins.”

Li Tianxiang took out the transparent card that Gordon had given him from his pocket. Jacob’s eyes froze. He knew the value of the transparent card.

“I’ll pay 70,000!”

Jacob’s voice became somewhat hoarse.

“A hundred thousand.”

Li Tianxiang yawned and crossed his arms in front of his chest, as if he was watching Jacob put on a performance. Jacob’s anger was completely ignited.

“Two hundred thousand!”

“That’s more like it. If you keep shouting like how you shouted just now, others will think that you’re from a poor noble family.”

Li Tianxiang clapped lightly, but the mockery on his face did not decrease.

“Five hundred thousand.”

Li Tianxiang’s voice was very calm, as if he was casually talking about five gold coins.

Meanwhile, Jacob breathed heavily. Two hundred thousand gold coins was almost equivalent to his annual income. If it was any higher, he would have to do something.

“Your Highness…”

Even the servant who had tried to persuade him previously felt the pressure at this moment and could not help but worry.

Jacob took a deep breath and calmed himself down. He looked at the calm expression on Li Tianxiang’s face and gritted his teeth. For a moment, Li Tianxiang felt as if there were sparks coming out of Jacob’s mouth.

“One million gold coins!”

This time, even May and Lan gave Jacob strange looks. Of course, they were looking at him as if he was an idiot. However, in Jacob’s eyes, they had sweet smiles and beautiful eyes.

“Alright, you’re awesome. I’ll give you this potion.”

However, what Jacob did not expect was that Li Tianxiang, who had been offering high prices just now, suddenly relented and placed the potion back into Noir’s hands.

“Pay up.”

All of a sudden, everyone present was stunned. Even the crowd that had gathered after they started arguing looked at one another helplessly.

In the end, a person couldn’t help but let out a soft laugh, like a spark falling into a barrel of gunpowder.

The entire hall of Noel’s Alchemy Workshop instantly erupted into loud laughter. Lan was already crouching on the floor laughing.

Noir, too, had lost the grace of the chief alchemist, and was laughing so hard that she doubled over. Meanwhile, May managed to maintain some of the dignity of a young lady until the end.

However, her face was bright red, showing that she was about to lose control. Meanwhile, Warren’s lips twitched and he smiled helplessly.

“Are you playing with me? Are you playing with me! Are you playing with me?”

In the midst of the laughter, Jacob completely descended into madness. He asked three questions in a row. In his first question, he interrogated Li Tianxiang. His second question was filled with anger, while his third question was filled with disbelief and even some grievance.

Li Tianxiang shrugged helplessly and spoke.

“I still need to buy some other things. Indeed, I only brought around 500,000 gold coins or so, so I’m not playing with you. I really don’t have any money left.”

The more sincere Li Tianxiang sounded, the more Jacob felt like a clown.

“You’re deliberately provoking me into bidding against you. This one million is not worth it at all!”

Jacob simply could not afford to fork out a million gold coins. Even if he were to steal, rob, or even take over his father’s title, he would probably have to sell some of his family’s assets to amass a million gold coins.

Hence, he straightened his neck and abandoned his pride. He refused to acknowledge the price.

In the end, there was a wave of boos from his surroundings. The onlookers naturally knew who had been provoking the other party to bid against him.

They had seen how he had forced his actions onto someone else. Thus, everyone expressed that they had never seen such a shameless person.

“Your Highness.”

Li Tianxiang followed Warren’s example and bowed to Jacob. However, he felt his blood rushing to his ears, and his vision turned dark. He almost lost his balance.

“Are you going back on your word in front of President Warren?”

Everyone knew how important Warren was in the business world of the Monarch City.

Since Jacob had shouted this price in front of Warren, if he did not acknowledge it, Duke Harry’s family wouldn’t be able to buy even a piece of bread from the Monarch City the next day.

“Ahem.”

Warren shook his head with a resigned expression. At the same time, he also glared at Li Tianxiang. He was clearly very displeased with Li Tianxiang’s decision to withdraw.

However, he was a gnome who valued his business reputation more than his personal reputation. Hence, he looked at Jacob and spoke emotionlessly.

“Since you bidded in front of me, you naturally have to abide by the merchants’ rules. If you give up on the purchase, Your Highness, please pay the penalty for breaching the contract, which is 30% of the last bid..”
