Chapter 212: The young master is bent Part3

“Enough. Both of you! Don’t make a ruckus in front of my shop.” The shopkeeper angrily grumbled.

As if he hadn’t noticed that the remark was also directed towards him, Marvin simply shrugged his shoulders and signaled Tang Yue to proceed.

The elf arrogantly sneered in contempt. “Let’s see what you got bitch.” He muttered under his breath, but loud enough for Tang Yue to hear.

Tang Yue smirked. She then reached inside her robes and took out a small glittering gem right in front of the elf’s haughty gaze.

As soon as he saw the gem in the dwarf’s hand, Marvin immediately started panicking.

How could he not recognize what it was??

It was a very high-quality pitch-black pearl!!

It was not an extremely precious or rare gem but it was enough to create a huge commotion and chaos in the auction house every time it showed up.

The shopkeeper’s eyes instantly widened. 

He didn’t have any use for the two herbs in his possession but this pearl could fetch him a boatload of gold once he inscribes a rune on it.

He immediately changed his attitude towards the weak-looking dwarf and started pandering.

“Thank you for your patronage, good sir. I will be more than happy to exchange these two herbs for this pearl.”

“I can even give you some other items if you are not satisfied with just these two herbs.” He hurriedly spoke.

“YOU… You can’t do that.” Marvin shouted from the side. “We already made a deal. You can’t give away those two herbs.” 

“You just want this black pearl? I will have someone fetch something far more precious from my house RIGHT NOW!” He shouted.

The shopkeeper rubbed his temples and shook his head. “Young master Marvin, you have been standing here and arguing with me for quite a while.” 

“You could have already done this from the beginning and we wouldn’t be in this situation right now.”

Even though the shopkeeper said these words, he knew full well that it was not so easy to whip out a black pearl just like that.

Marvin grit his teeth. “Don’t talk nonsense. I am telling you now. I will give you the same black pearl in a few minutes. Trade with me.” He said.

By now Tang Yue had already passed over the pearl to the shopkeeper who looked like he was embarrassed.

“~Ah. Sorry, young master Marvin. I hope you can give me some face. Don’t make things difficult for me.”

“Hey dumbass! Can’t you see that the deal is already over? Why are you still making a ruckus?” Tang Yue scoffed rudely and added fuel to the fire. 

She even went ahead and looked at him as if he was a filthy disgusting pig. 

Since she was going to be leaving for the Dwarven empire soon, she didn’t hold back at all.

“You. Shut the hell up. Who do you think you are talking to?” Marvin fumed in anger, making the fat in his body jiggle.

“Listen to me. This bitch will leave from here soon, dead or alive. But have you forgotten that you have to sit here every day for the rest of your life?” Marvin seethed with a grave look on his face.

“Are you threatening me, young master Marvin?” The shopkeeper asked.

“I just trying to look out for you. We wouldn’t want any mishap to fall on your brothers or your children, right?” Marvin smiled.

“Hmm… You leave me no other choice but to report you to the Crown Prince, young master Marvin.” The shopkeeper immediately shrugged.

Not just him, anyone in the market district would have done that. 

After Xander took charge, he had taken a lot of effort to make sure that no one was strong-armed by the noble families.

So he didn’t submit to Marvin just with these superficial threats. Otherwise, he wouldn’t be able to do any business here at all.

Seeing that the shopkeeper was not a pushover, Marvin gnashed his teeth and mumbled. 

“Tch Tch. Fine. How about if I give you something far more precious than a simple black pearl? I can give you a sizable sliver of Mythril ore.”

“Ah~” The shopkeeper immediately revealed a surprised expression. He even started panting with excitement.

Mythril ore? That was an extremely rare material!

If not for this vain young master trying to save his reputation, there was simply no way that someone like him could afford something so precious.

The shrewd elf immediately changed sides. “Ok. Ok. Since young master Marvin is requesting me this much, I have no other choice but to oblige.”

He then turned towards Tang Yue and apologetically returned the pearl. “Sorry, good sir. This is out of my control.”

Tang Yue chuckled. She didn’t seem as if she minded it at all. She took the black pearl from the shopkeeper and shoved it back into her robes.

“Heh. Now did you see? How can a wastrel like you compare to me? I am an alchemy grandmaster’s son, you fool.” Marvin chortled.

“We don’t have any enmity between us, so if you kneel down and apologize to me right here and now, I can graciously let this matter go.” 

The chubby little elf put on a very magnanimous attitude. 

By now a crowd had also assembled around them and he thought that such kindness would also be good for his reputation.

Because of the damned snake, his reputation was in tatters lately and he had no other choice but to slowly repair it like this.

Besides, this should be a good deal for the dwarf as well. Anyone would think twice before attacking a grandmaster’s son in public.

No one in their right mind would purposefully make trouble with a big shot like him…

But before Marvin could finish this thought in his mind,

Tang Yue coldly snorted and banged something loudly in front of the shopkeeper on his desk.

“You didn’t tell me that you preferred Mythril? Ha Ha. What a coincidence! I have some too!”
