Chapter 1325 - Compensation (4)
Chapter 1325: Compensation (4)
“Really?” Vermilion Bird raised his brow.
“Yes!” Duan Yuan nodded decisively.
“Alright, then I’ll say this first. As for my gems, I want them returned to me as gems, and the crystal coins should be returned in the exact amount. Don’t try to fool me with those crystal coins. Those gems are mostly good stuff collected from the Brilliance Continent, so don’t use defective products to make up the numbers.” Vermilion Bird snorted.
Vermilion Bird’s request gave Duan Yuan a headache. Jewels were a luxury item that could not meet the demand in the Moon God Continent. At that time, he had collected a chest full of jewels from the Moonshine Tribe. Not to mention that he could not buy them, even if he could buy the same number of jewels, the price would not be something a small city lord like him could afford.
A city lord of elves was not as wealthy as a city lord of humans. They only had one more portion of income compared to the ordinary elves, and the rest was similar.
Without corruption, there would be no wealth.
The broken crystal coins could still be pieced together, but the gems…
What the heck!
What Vermilion Bird wanted was the gemstones of the Brilliance Continent!
The gems in the Brilliance Continent were even more expensive than those found in the Moon God Continent!
Besides, the gem trade with humans had been sealed off. Where could he get so many gems from the Brilliance Continent?
Duan Yuan wanted to negotiate with Vermilion Bird, but with Vermilion Bird’s attitude, he would not dare to speak even if he had ten guts!
Moreover, Duan Yuan did not have any reason to struggle. He had indeed lost the gems because he did not keep it well. He could not impact his family negatively because of his negligence.
However…
Where could she get so many gems?
Just as Duan Yuan was in a dilemma, Shen Yanxiao acted as if she had just discovered Shen Jing and chuckled. “You are Shen Jing?”
Shen Jing was slightly stunned. He was listening to the gossip at one side and was in a good mood. How did he get involved?
Looking at the cute little elf in front of him, Shen Jing had the mentality of appreciating all beautiful things and said with a smile, “That’s right. Little kid, have you heard of me?”
Shen Yanxiao nodded and said with an innocent appearance, “I’ve heard of it. They said that you came to the Moon God Continent to do some business regarding gems, but you were locked up because you did something bad.”
Shen Jing’s expression twisted…
Crash!
How could such an adorable little kid say such hurtful words?
He merely had some overly intimate actions with a certain beautiful young lady, so how did it become a bad thing?
Which idiot spread this rumor? He would definitely beat him to death!
Shen Yanxiao’s seemingly casual question had a series of effects when it entered Duan Yuan’s ears.
There was a huge pile of ready-made gems waiting for him!
Duan Yuan narrowed his eyes and looked at Shen Jing.
Back then, Shen Jing came to Jadeite City with a large number of gems for sale, but they were locked up within a few days. The batch of gems Shen Jing brought was still in the storeroom of the mansion.
Those were gems from the Brilliance Continent!
Duan Yuan’s gaze caused Shen Jing to tremble.
Why did he feel that his future father-in-law’s gaze was so… terrifying?
Duan Yuan took a deep breath and said to the Vermilion Bird and Shen Yanxiao. “I will take care of this matter. You and the elves of the Moonshine Tribe should take a rest first. After that, I will take care of this matter perfectly and meet your expectations.”
Shen Yanxiao smiled and hinted for Vermilion Bird to stop while he was ahead. Soon after, she went back into the mansion with the elves of the Moonshine Tribe to eat and drink as they waited for the news.
