Magic Doctor CEO Lady's Humble Husband (Fade Chen)

Chapter 3342



As he watched the three of them leave, Elder Lin shook his head and said with disdain, "What a bunch of fools."

After that, Elder Lin gave an order to the worker and said, "If they come back again later, reduce the price of the Reddish Flower by another 10,000." "Okay, Elder Lin!" The worker nodded.

After Fade left the Wood Fragrance Trading, Evelyne was still indignant about it. "They were being too much. How could they reduce the price by so much? What greedy merchants."

"Brother Liu, don't worry. We'll go to another place, and we'll surely be able to sell it at a higher price." Evelyne tried to comfort Lenny.

Then, the three of them asked around for other trading businesses.

It was fine if they didn't inquire about it, but they were shocked upon hearing the information they've gotten.

This was because the passers- by all told them that there was only the Wood Fragrance Trading and Myriad Treasures Hall, which were both the largest stalls in Wood Fragrance City.

Other similar businesses couldn't survive in Wood Fragrance City. At most they were just small little shop lots, selling in private or just selling some little stuff, with only limited quantities and quality.

As for anything related to medicines or martial arts, apart from those two businesses, there were none other.

"How could that be? Wood Fragrance City is such a big city, yet there are so few trading companies. This..." Evelyne was a little shocked.

As for Fade, he brought Lenny and searched for a few shop lots by the roadside, stating that they were trying to sell the Reddish Flower. When the shop owners heard that they were trying to sell herbs, they directly said that they wouldn't accept it before they could even negotiate the price.

Some of them even told Fade that it was impossible for them to accept the herbs if they wouldn't go to Wood Fragrance Trading.

Lenny was a little dumbfounded, and he was feeling all anxious.

Fade frowned and said, "Let's go to the Myriad Treasures Hall and take a look. The Myriad Treasures Hall is a large trading company that does its business in the entire Taeyoon Domain. It must be different from the other stalls."

The three of them then arrived at the Myriad Treasures Hall. It was indeed worthy of being a trading company that had its stalls all around the Taeyoon Domain. The shop was huge, and there were many people in there, yet it was a tad bit smaller than Wood Fragrance Trading.

After entering the shop, Lenny took the Reddish Flower out and stated his purpose of coming.

Evelyne stood on the side and asked, "How much would your shop take the Reddish Flower for?"

The shop assistant pointed to the price list on the wall and said, "It's stated clearly up here, Reddish Flower, 8th Rank of Human Level, it's 20,000 yuan stone."

"How is that possible?" Evelyne exclaimed. "The Reddish Flower is worth at least 80,000 yuan stones. Why is your price so low?"

The shop assistant said unhappily, "It is this price."

Fade frowned and said, "I have also bought the Reddish Flower in other cities before. The price is 80,000 yuan stones. Isn't your price here a little too different from others?"

The shop assistant was getting a little impatient and said unhappily, "Why are you asking so many questions? It is sold at this price in Wood Fragrance City. Just leave if you don't want to sell it here. Don't interrupt our business."

This time, Lenny was panicking a little and he whispered, "Or else, shan't we just sell it here? |-"

Evelyne was unwilling to give up, but she was helpless and could only look at Fade.

Fade kept silent for a few seconds. He looked at the shop assistant, took out a golden jade and said coldly, "Ask your person-in-charge to come over."

"Who are you? Our person in charge..." The shop assistant said disdainfully.

But before he could finish his words, he saw the jade pendant in Fade's hands and immediately was in shock. "The Golden Ingot Pendant. You must be a VIP customer of the Myriad Treasures Hall."

"Please, wait a moment. I'll inform the person in charge right away." The shop assistant's face instantly changed.

Fade kept the jade pendant back. That was a gift from Euan Qian of the Myriad Treasures Hall in South Yan City when he left the city. He gave him the jade pendant and said that Fade could get VIP treatment in every branch in the entire Taeyoon Domain.

Now, it seemed that it was really useful.

Soon, a middle-aged man with a square hat and a big belly walked out.

"My honorable guest, this is the shopkeeper of Myriad Treasures Hall, Jedd Zhou." The shop assistant introduced.

Jedd walked out with a big smile on his face as he welcomed them, "Mr. VIP guest, please have a seat in the lounge!"RêAd lat𝙚St chapters at Novel(D)ra/ma.Org Only

Fade waved his hands and said lightly, "You don't have to be so polite. I called you out because I have some questions that I would like to ask you." "May I know what is it?" His attitude was very humble.

Fade pointed to the Reddish Flower in his hand and said, "This Reddish Flower, the shops in other cities all take it for at least 80,000 yuan stone. Why is it that in Wood Fragrance City the shops would only accept it for 20,000?"

Jedd was stunned for a moment, then he looked at Fade and said, "If you think that this price is too low, I can give you a better offer." As he spoke, Jedd waved his hand at the shop assistant, preparing to do some calculations.

However, Fade waved his hand and said, "I don't lack that tens of thousands of yuan stones. I just want to know, why is the price in Wood Fragrance City so much different from other cities?"

"Ah, this..." Jedd seemed a bit hesitant. After some thought, he lowered his voice and said, "You may not know, but it is not us, the Myriad Treasures Hall who fixes the prices. It is Wood Fragrance Trading who fixed it."

"They accept the Reddish Flower there for 20,000, and we are not allowed to offer a higher price than them. That's why we could only accept it for 20,000."

"Why is it like that? Could it be that Wood Fragrance Trading has more power than Myriad Treasures Hall, that they could force you all to lower your prices?" Fade questioned.

Jedd sighed and said, "There's

something you might not know! The

Wood Fragrance Trading looks like

mere trading company, but the actual master behind it is the Alchemist Association." "This price was set by the Alchemist

ло

Association. Therefore, even our Myriad Treasures Hall wouldn't dare to cross this line."

"The Alchemist Association used the Wood Fragrance Trading Company to purchase herbs and other resources in Wood Fragrance City at a low price. They then sold them according to the original price and earned a huge sum with the price difference."

"The Alchemist Association!" Fade's gaze turned cold. "They're simply exploiting the lower-class citizens here! How could the governments in Wood Fragrance City not do anything about it?"

Jedd looked around and said to Fade in a low voice, "In other cities, the Mayor perhaps might have some power. But in Wood Fragrance City, the actual person who holds the highest authority is the Alchemist Association. The Mayor has no say here."

"After all, the Alchemist Association is so powerful even in the entire Taeyoon Domain.

Even in the main city, they still wouldn't dare to touch the Alchemist Association. That's why they've always been turning a blind eye to whatever's happening here."

After listening to his explanation, Fade felt inexplicably annoyed and angry.

The Alchemist Association used its enormous power to cruelly oppress the people of the lower class of Wood Fragrance City, earning huge profits from them.

Fade then recalled the scene he witnessed earlier when he just entered the city, and he remembered how he noticed that the normal peasants here seemed poorer than those in South Van City.

From the looks of it, the root of that situation was all because of the Alchemist Association.

Jedd looked at Fade and reminded, "My honored guest, is this your first time coming to Wood Fragrance City? The Alchemy School here is very powerful, and you should be more careful."

The hidden meaning behind his words was that he was actually warning Fade not to try to fight against the Alchemist Association, since that wouldn't bring any changes.

Fade nodded, thanked him, and got up to leave.

Jedd was bowing as he sent them off.

As they walked out of the Myriad Treasures Hall, Lenny's expression wasn't too good and he seemed all helpless. "Master Chen, we cannot afford to go against the Alchemist Association! Let's just call it quits."

Fade was silent for a moment and said, "Let's go back to Wood Fragrance Trading."

Therefore, the three of them returned to Wood Fragrance Trading.

As soon as they arrived at the door, the worker recognized the three of them. He sneered and said, "Oh, you're back. Did you manage to sell it? Was anyone willing to accept it?"

Lenny lowered his head and said, "No, no one wants to buy it. I'll sell it here at Wood Fragrance Trading."

"You can sell it, but it's not the same price as before. It's 10,000 yuan stone now." The worker said proudly with his arms crossed.

This time, it was Lenny's turn to be stunned, and his face was full of disbelief. "It was still 20,000 yuan stones just now. How could it be 10,000 now? Isn't that a little too less?"

The worker said coldly, "I gave you a chance just now, but you didn't know how to cherish it. The 10,000 is considered a penalty fee. If there's another time, don't even think of getting to sell even a stalk of herb here in Wood Fragrance City."

Lenny was so scared that he fell to the ground. His face was pale and his whole body was trembling in fear.

After all, he had to make a living by selling herbs. If he got prohibited from selling herbs, that was simply nothing else than ruining his entire career.

Fade and Evelyne, who were standing by the side, were both furious when they saw this. They then strode over.

"You, what are you trying to do?" Seeing Fade walking over, the worker felt a little terrified as he took a few steps back.

Evelyne then helped Lenny to his feet.

Fade looked at the worker coldly and said, "Is the Wood Fragrance Trading always so overbearing?"

Just as the worker was about to speak, Elder Lin walked out from inside.

He put his hands behind his back and glanced at Fade. He snorted and said with despise, "That's it. What can you do?"

Fade laughed out in anger as he shook his head and said suddenly, "I would like to buy a Reddish Flower here in Wood Fragrance Trading. How

much does it cost?"

"Eh?" The worker and Elder Lin were both stunned by Fade's words.

After all, Fade obviously had a Reddish Flower in hand, why did he want to buy another?

The two of them kept a gloomy face and did not answer.

At this time, Evelyne pointed to the price list there and read it aloud. "Brother Chen, a Reddish Flower here costs 90,000 yuan stone."

"90,000. It's the same price as in other cities! But you only buy it at one-fourth the price of other cities. Wouldn't you feel sorry by profiting so much from that huge difference?" Fade directly questioned them.

Elder Lin's face darkened, and he said coldly, "What would you know? The Reddish Flower we collected has to be reviewed for quality assurance and its expiration date. It's normal for the price to be higher."

"It's normal! Hah!" Fade sneered, and looked at Lenny while saying out loud, "Lenny, you should sell your Reddish Flower to me. Since I need a Reddish Flower too."

"I'll offer you a price of 90,000 yuan stone. Anyway, it's the same price as that of Wood Fragrance Trading. It's better for me to let the herb collector earn the profit than to let those cruel merchants gain it."

Lenny was stunned, and then he hurriedly said, "Mr. Chen, you are my savior. If you want this Reddish Flower, how could I keep your money? I

cannot do so."

Fade said, "Brother Liu, it's natural for me to buy things from you with money in exchange. As for saving you, it's another case, and we cannot put them both together."
