Chapter 210: Scamming You Without Mercy
“Of course. Otherwise, why would I bring you to such a shabby place?” Thomas laughed, his tone full of contempt for this kind of place.
The boss heard their words, but his expression changed slightly. However, in the end, he did not say it out loud because he had been in business for so long.
He just greeted them with a smile.
“Since the two of you are here, do you want to take a look at my place? Maybe you can find what you need?” The boss raised his hand at the two of them.
Thomas seemed to have stopped his footsteps with great difficulty. His eyes swept over the stall and finally fixed on a beautiful flower.
Ice muscle flowers grew in extremely cold places. If this flower was used as medicine, as long as it was applied to one’s face, it could ensure that one’s skin was white and delicate. Unfortunately, this was something that many n.o.ble ladies could not obtain.
After all, this item was something that could only be found by chance. Moreover, its value was extremely high. There was a market for it, and there was no price for it. Even if such a flower appeared by chance, it would be s.n.a.t.c.hed away by some high-ranking officials and n.o.bles in the auction house.
He did not expect it to exist here.
Thomas raised his hand to pick up the ice muscle flower and sized it up. “How much is it?”
Before the boss could speak, he heard the voice of the person who had wrapped his entire body in a cloak.
“20,000 gold coins.”
Thomas obviously could not believe what he had heard. “20,000 gold coins? It’s just a flower. If you want 20,000 gold coins, why don’t you go and rob it?”
“This customer…” The boss wanted to stop him, but he saw the person in front of him raise his hand slightly.
“You should know that this flower can make a woman’s skin very smooth and delicate. So it’s very suitable for the beautiful lady beside you.”
Audrey suppressed her voice, making her voice unrecognizable. “And most importantly, this thing is rarely seen in a few years. So using 20,000 gold coins to please a beauty shouldn’t be a bad thing, right?”
Hearing Audrey’s words, Thomas’ expression changed.
After hearing her words, Maggie hurriedly reached out and grabbed Thomas’ wrist. “Yes, she’s right. Normally, you won’t be able to find this kind of thing. But, isn’t 20,000 gold coins worth it now?”
Thomas gritted his teeth. He had not planned to buy such an expensive thing. After all, no matter how much he liked Maggie, there was no need for him to invest so much money for her.
After all, he had gotten his money from his father. He had already spent a lot of money during this period of time. Now that he suddenly had so much money, it was obviously not something that could be explained.
“Why don’t the two of us go to another shop and have a look? The price is indeed a little high.” Thomas advised, trying to make his tone very gentle.
Who knew that such a sentence would make Maggie so anxious.
“What do you mean? If it’s too expensive, why didn’t you say so? Why don’t we go to another shop? Don’t you know how rare this thing is?” Maggie snapped.
Audrey looked at the two of them as if they were about to argue, and she chimed in.
“Yes, shouldn’t women treat themselves better? If you don’t take care of yourself now, you won’t have a chance when you get old,” Audrey said with a gentle smile.
It was just these words that made Thomas, who was already filled with anger but had nowhere to vent his anger, find an outlet to vent his anger.
“What has it got to do with you when we’re talking? Who are you to actually interrupt our conversation?”
His tone did not sound pleasant.
“I’m just an ordinary pa.s.serby,” Audrey explained.
“An ordinary pa.s.serby, and you still have the cheek to speak? Heh, look at what you’re holding in your hand. It’s an unwanted weed. A person who lives by picking weeds doesn’t have the right to speak in front of us. You should get lost,” Thomas said directly.
Audrey lowered her eyes and looked at the weed in her hand.
Does it really look like an unknown herb? Just now, she had felt that it was a little strange. Such a useful herb was actually mixed with that bunch of trash.
The boss quickly chimed in, “That was useless in the first place. This customer was just about to ask for a price when I planned to tell the customer to take it away without asking for money. After all, it would take up a lot of s.p.a.ce for me to keep it here.”
Thomas looked at Audrey smugly. “Did you hear that? You’re still giving us such a ridiculous price. Get the h.e.l.l out of here.”
After hearing that, Audrey gave a very reasonable explanation. “The ice muscle gra.s.s in your hand isn’t an ordinary product. It was nurtured on the peak of the Frigid Lands for a total of 77-49 days. It’s because of this that the effect on the skin is better.”
Maggie hurriedly reached out to grab Thomas. “Did you hear that? The effect on the skin is very good. Hurry up and buy it for me. Otherwise, I won’t go back with you.”
Thomas looked very troubled.
Maggie naturally saw through his thoughts and pretended to be angry before turning her head away.
“If you don’t want to buy it, tell me directly. There’s no need to waste time here. Forget it. It’s really stingy to come out with you. You can’t bear to spend a single cent on me.”
