Chen Zhao walked over to Raz . He had his own stall too . When he looked up and saw Chen Zhao, he was obviously surprised, but his expression quickly turned enthusiastic .

“Respected Living Lord, welcome . ”

When Raz saw Jessica beside Chen Zhao, he started sweating . Jessica gave him too much pressure . This Banshee"s aura was too scary . She had a reputation too .

In Obsidian City, Jessica was known as a “vicious woman . ”

“Raz, what a coincidence to run into you when I"m shopping . ”

“Haha…yeah, what a coincidence . Living Lord, how come you"re here?”

“I was invited by the Lord,” Chen Zhao replied .

“He is a respected guest of the Lord,” Jessica said, looking down .

“Raz, I bought some things while shopping earlier . Can you check if I was scammed?”

Chen Zhao took out many local specialties of h.e.l.l from his spatial ring . When Raz saw these things, it was like he"d been struck by lightning . He froze in his spot .

Raz finally realized that Chen Zhao was here to punish him .

“Living Lord…I…I…”

Chen Zhao narrowed his eyes at Raz . “Is there anything else you want to say?”

Raz turned and ran, ducking into the crowd of “people . ” He didn"t even want his stall anymore . He just wanted to get away from Chen Zhao .

Jessica glanced at Chen Zhao . “Should I grab him back for you?”

“Yes . ”

Jessica shot into the air . A few minutes later, she carried the limp Raz back and tossed him down before Chen Zhao . Raz seemed to be under some spell . His body was like jelly and couldn"t stand up .

Chen Zhao squatted down before him . “Raz, I"m very disappointed in you . I"d thought that we could establish a long-term and steady relations.h.i.+p, but you took advantage of the fact that I don"t know h.e.l.l"s market price . You sold everything to me a hundred times more expensive . ”

“Living Lord, you are the most benevolent man I"ve met before,” Raz pleaded . “I"m sorry…I"m sorry…I am willing to return all of your demonic crystals . Please forgive me . ”

“Living Lord, how many demonic crystals has he scammed from you?”

“Around 100 years" worth . ”

Jessica"s eyes glinted . She wasn"t surprised with Raz"s greed . Instead, she was surprised that Chen Zhao had so many demonic crystals . And if he didn"t accidentally learn of the true prices, he might keep getting scammed .

“How dare you!” Jessica kicked the limp Raz . “You even dare to cheat the Living Lord of so many demonic crystals . You"ll never be able to pay it all back . ”

“The demonic crystals are still here…They"re still here… I can return them all . ”

“That"s unnecessary . You can use your products to pay me back in the future . ”

To be honest, Chen Zhao was furious, but he still needed a steady supply source . If he killed Raz, he would have to find another source .

Raz wouldn"t dare to cheat him anymore . After all, Chen Zhao still had his demonic ritual implement . This meant that Chen Zhao had the advantage . If Raz dared to cheat him again, Chen Zhao could use the ritual implement to summon him into the human world and punish him .

There was no contract relations.h.i.+p when summoning a demon with a ritual implement . Thus, Chen Zhao had no restrictions when summoning Raz .

He wouldn"t get punished at all if he killed Raz . However, if he killed Raz, he would need to find an even more reliable source . The new supplier might be even worse than Raz or give him the ritual implement .

It was better to keep Raz around . With the ritual implement, he wouldn"t pull any more tricks .

As for the price, Chen Zhao was honestly angry . However, it was a voluntary trade . Chen Zhao wasn"t familiar with the market price, so he couldn"t blame people for cheating him .

Of course, there wasn"t anything about fair trade in h.e.l.l . Whoever had more power would have more rights . Right now, Chen Zhao was in charge .

“Jessica, what spell is he under?”

“The Weak Curse . Should I undo it?”

“Yes . ”

“Living Lord, do you use demonic crystals to trade with him?”

“Yes . ”

“Living Lord, 100 soul fragments can be exchanged for one year"s worth of demonic crystals in the market, but demonic crystals are actually much more valuable than that . Some demons even accept two times the price . ”

“Why is there such a big difference?”

Technically, the market price and actual price shouldn"t be too different . An average of 20% in difference was normal, but two times the price was hard to understand .

“Demonic crystals can extend most demons" lives, but soul fragments are only food . So, do you think the market can determine the value of demonic crystals?”

This meant that the price Raz charged Chen Zhao was far more than 200 times the price . It may even be more than 300 times higher .

Chen Zhao glanced at Raz and huffed coldly . He didn"t know the price before, but now he did . He"d make sure Raz would suffer in future trade .

But at the moment, Raz was still irreplaceable .

Chen Zhao had quite a few ritual implements from all sorts of demons, but only Raz was focused on trade . Not everyone that went between the human world and h.e.l.l could be merchants .

Merchants also had to have a clear mind . For example, if Chen Zhao switched his position with Raz, he might not be able to run the trade better than Raz . This was why Chen Zhao wouldn"t change his trade partner unless he had no other choice .

However, remembering how he"d thought Raz"s price was fair, he felt bitterly disappointed . As expected, demons couldn"t be trusted .

He walked through the market . He saw many interesting things, but most were only interesting . They didn"t have much use .

Raz followed behind Chen Zhao cautiously . Rather than Chen Zhao, he was afraid of Jessica . He was finally freed when Chen Zhao got bored .

When he first came to this demon city, he found everything fresh and interesting . But after walking around a bit, he realized it was just the same old thing . It was just like how he"d fantasized about America, but after arriving, he realized it wasn"t much .

Interest in new things came quickly and left quickly as well…

To Chen Zhao, h.e.l.l was just a chaotic place . However, there was a unique order within the chaos .
