Chapter 18: Adults Should Own Up to Their Actions

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

“You claim that 1 thousand yuan is expensive!? Brat, do you know how valuable the material that’s used to craft this toad is? Had you been in another stall, they would probably have sold you this toad at 2 thousand yuan!”

The stall owner’s attitude was very rude, and he did not seem to care whether or not Tang Feng purchased his wares.

Tang Feng immediately frowned. “Boss, what kind of attitude is this? I’m just bargaining here. Do you really need to act this way?”

The stall owner snatched the jade toad from his hands and put it back on the stall. “This is my attitude towards those who know not of my wares’ worth!”

“Since you can’t afford it, I’d advise you to visit other stalls instead. Take care.”

Tang Feng knew that the owner was trying to taunt him.

Young people were usually prideful. As such, goading young customers was the stall owner’s surefire way of forcing young customers to purchase his goods.

However, this was exactly what Tang Feng wanted. He might as well go with the flow. He picked up the jade toad again and studied it for a moment. “Boss, you asked for 1 thousand, right? Fine then, I’ll pay. But in the case that it’s more valuable than you think, you wouldn’t ask it back, right?”

The stall owner revealed a faint smile and immediately nodded. “Of course. Once a deal is made and the money has transferred hands, all ties with the antique will be cut off.”

“As such, even if this toad ends up being a real steal, I promise I won’t come back and ask you for more money. However, don’t blame me if this toad ends up being worth less than you thought it would be. Understood?”

Tang Feng acted as if he had been taught a lesson and nodded. “I understand. Then I’ll pay with my card.”

The stall owner immediately took out a POS machine from the box beside him and entered the agreed-upon amount.

Tang Feng brought out his bank card and swiped it.

Once the thousand yuan was transferred into his account, the stall owner almost laughed out loud.

The jade toad was given free of charge to him by his supplier. It did not cost him a single cent.

It had been displayed in his stall for almost half a month, and yet, no one had even so much as bat an eye at it.

As such, the fact that an idiot had picked it up for a thousand had thrilled him to no end. To him, this was free money.

Upon noticing the stall owner’s smug look, Tang Feng racked his brains for the best way to make him suffer.

After taking a look around, Tang Feng suddenly had an idea. He looked up at the stall owner and asked, “Boss, I suddenly don’t want it anymore. Can I have my money back?”

The stall owner had a wide grin on his face, but the moment he heard Tang Feng’s words, the smile was wiped out of existence. With a darkened expression, he snapped, “I’ve already told you, all ties are cut once the money has been paid. Didn’t you hear what I said?”

Tang Feng put on an anxious expression and wiped his forehead, “I forgot that this money was meant to be for my friend’s medical fees. He was hit by a car, and unless someone pays for his treatment, his life will be in jeopardy. Please, please return the money to me!”

There were also quite a few busybodies located at the nearby stalls. Upon hearing the commotion, they all surrounded the stall.

After listening to Tang Feng’s explanation, a few people helped to persuade the stall owner.

“Boss, since he has an urgent matter, I think you should return the money to him.”

“That’s right, this young man is obviously a student. How much money could he possibly have? I think you should return the money to him.”

“According to the rules of the antique trade, the money definitely can not be returned. However, this is his friend’s life-saving money after all. I think you should let it go just this once.”

“That’s right. Anyway, it’s only a thousand yuan. It’s not a big sum of money, you might as well return it to the kid…”

The stall owner snorted coldly, “You guys have no right to request anything of me!”

“I’ve already made an agreement with him earlier. He can’t just go back on his words like this.”

“An adult should own up to their own actions.”

Everyone was instantly rendered speechless by the stall owner’s rebuke.

Speaking of which, there was indeed nothing wrong with how the stall owner acted.

After all, he was abiding to the rules of his trade. Once the goods were sold, no matter what problems occurred, they would not accept any refunds.

Had the stall owner returned the money, it would be an act of compassion, an act that also went against their code of conduct.

Had he not returned the money, at most, one could only label him as cold-blooded, but no one would actually find fault with his actions at a logical standpoint.

A hint of mockery flashed across Tang Feng’s eyes as he stared straight at the stall owner. “Aren’t you a little too heartless? You don’t even want to return the money if it could potentially save a life?”

The stall owner was still unmoved. His expression was stone cold. “What does your friend’s death have to do with me?”

“We had a deal. No one forced you to accept it.”

“Let alone your friend, even if someone in your family were to die because of this money, it would have nothing to do with me.”

Upon hearing his words, Tang Feng’s lips curled into a grin.

An ominous premonition welled up within the owner’s mind upon this sight.

At the same time, a middle-aged man wearing a white mandarin jacket with a string of black agarwood bracelet in his hand squeezed into the crowd.

Any experts present could immediately see that the bracelet was worth at least 200 thousand yuan.

“Old Ma.”

“Old Ma.”

“Hello, Old Ma…”

Once the onlookers spotted him, they immediately took the initiative to greet him with a very respectful attitude.

The middle-aged man who was addressed as “Old Ma” asked, “What seems to be the issue?”

Someone explained the whole story to him.

The man glanced at Tang Feng and shook his head with a smile.

He had seen too many of these greenhorns who were cheated right after they stepped into the antique industry. He was already used to such scenarios. He agreed with the stall owner, in the sense that this was a lesson that Tang Feng had to learn the hard way.

Just as he was about to turn around and leave.

At this moment, Tang Feng raised his hand and smash the jade toad against the tarmac.

“Bang!”

In an instant, the jade toad was shattered into pieces, and its fragments flew everywhere.

The surrounding crowd was shocked by Tang Feng’s actions.

“Isn’t this young man going overboard? There’s no need to be so angry, right?”

“Plus, the fault lies with him in the first place. Why would he come here in the first place if his friend is in a medical emergency? Is he crazy or what?”

“This young man is too impulsive. Even if you smash the jade toad, what problem can you solve?”

“Wait, look! What’s that?”

While everyone was discussing animatedly, someone suddenly exclaimed.

Everyone lowered their heads to look.

They saw a yellowish glint within the fragments of the toad’s remains. It seemed to be a piece of gold.

It was about the size of two thumbs.

“That’s… That’s a gold nugget?”

Some sharp-eyed people exclaimed.

Their exclamation instantly caused a huge sensation.
