Chapter 644 - 616 Selling People
This plate of stir-fried lettuce was the most delicious lettuce Lin Tian had ever eaten, without any peers.
The 888,888 yuan spent were worth it.
Such delicious dishes are hard to come by even with a high price.
Watching Lin Tian's enraptured expression, the waiter said, "This 'Flying Dragon in the Sky' is just an ordinary dish, there are even tastier ones!"
He was hinting at other dishes.
But Lin Tian couldn't bear to eat a protected species. He said, "Oh, I'm a vegetarian, I don't eat meat. Let's go and look elsewhere."
"Vegetarian?" the waiter repeated incredulously. Lin Tian was so wealthy and yet a vegetarian, how peculiar!
The waiter continued to lead the way, and outside, everything was bustling with excitement.
"Don't miss out as you pass by! Top quality weapons that can cut hair as easily as blowing it off. Fine weapons for sale at a low price!"
A bare-chested, muscular man shouted.
He was selling weapons, with a cultivation strong enough to be reflected in a mirror. His stall wasn't big, only about a dozen weapons, but every one of those weapons was a rare sharp blade, though still much inferior to Lin Tian's Godslayer Sword.
Out of curiosity, Lin Tian glanced at these weapons. The big man quickly stepped forward and said, "The weapons I have here are all hot commodities, extremely sharp. If you buy one, your strength will surely increase significantly."
After saying this, he pulled out a few horsehairs and placed them on the blade's edge. With a blow, the hairs were cut through.
"How about that, this sword is good, isn't it? If you want to buy it, I'll give you a 20% discount!"
The sword was fine, but it was of no use to Lin Tian; he shook his head and walked away.
"Jade here, fine jade for sale."
"Diamond, top-quality diamond."
...,...
Step by step, Lin Tian walked deeper inside and gradually fixed his gaze on a girl of about seventeen or eighteen.
The girl was kneeling on the ground, looking pitiful with a pair of swollen, teary bright eyes. It must be said that the girl had an appearance that would instantly evoke sympathy.
However, incongruously paired with the girl's beauty was the collar around her neck, from which a chain hung, and a straw stuck in her hair. Behind the girl stood three burly men, each a half-step from mirror-level mastery in their martial skill.
Sticking a straw in her hair meant she was being sold.
The girl was so endearing that many people surrounded her on the spot, seemingly discussing the price.
Some lecherous rich men, with their grubby hands, couldn't stop groping the girl. She desperately tried to dodge, but this only excited these bad men more, eliciting continuous sinister laughter.
"Let's go take a look," Lin Tian said.
Arriving beside the girl, the three big men shouted.
"Virgin, virgin, eighteen-year-old virgin, high quality, asking price is 80 million."
The girl was crying incessantly, looking extremely innocent and helpless to the point of breaking one's heart.
A wealthy businessman said, "Brother, 80 million is too much. How much does it cost to support a celebrity nowadays? Can't it be cheaper?"
The businessman's eyes were fixed on the girl, clearly lusting after her.
The big man said, "80 million is not expensive at all."
Following that, the big man approached the girl, cruelly lifted her chin with his hand, and said, "Brother, take a look at this girl's face, all natural, not a touch of makeup. This face, this figure, is much better than those stars made up with cosmetics on TV. Most importantly, this girl is untouched, buying her will make you extremely satisfied!"
It is undeniable that the girl was indeed much better than many stars. The businessman swallowed hard, really tempted. However, he knew his financial limits. Spending 80 million on a girl was more than he could afford.
"No, no, I like mature women, not virgins, goodbye."
The businessman made up an excuse and left with a tent in his pants.
"Pah, you penniless pervert, die drooling!"
The big man cursed, watching the businessman's retreating figure with disgust.
"80 million, 80 million, the price is firm, 80 million."
The big man continued to shout. The girl was an exceptional beauty, and he wasn't worried about not being able to sell her.
If the goods are good, finding a buyer is never a worry.
Lin Tian watched for a while from the sidelines, then squeezed his way through and crouched next to the girl, his eyes fixed on her.
The girl, thinking Lin Tian was another bad man who wanted to possess her, hastily backed away in fear.
Lin Tian gently asked, "Little sister, how did you end up in their hands?"
The girl sobbed and said, "It... it was my father. My father is a gambling addict. He owed them money, so... my father sold me to them."
"Animal!"
Lin Tian cursed loudly. A father who sold his daughter to pay off debts he couldn't repay was utterly devoid of conscience.
Lin Tian asked the girl, "Do you hate your father?"
The girl thought for a moment, her tears flowing even faster. Yet, she shook her head, "If my father hadn't sold me, both he and my mother would have been killed by them."
Such a kind-hearted girl, falling into the hands of these villains, was such a pity.
Lin Tian stood up and said, "I'll buy this young lady."
Upon hearing this, the big man immediately laughed, emphasizing, "80 million, not a penny less."
Lin Tian nodded, about to take out his bank card, when a voice interrupted him.
"I will buy this girl!"
A young man came leisurely from behind, pulling out a bank card and handing it to the big man.
"Young Master Liu!"
People exclaimed in unison, immediately turning toward Young Master Liu to greet him.
"Young Master Liu, where have you been making your fortune recently?"
"Young Master Liu, you've been well recently, I was just about to pay you a visit!"
"Young Master Liu, I have a business proposition, not sure if you'd be interested!"
... ...!
This Young Master Liu, named Liu Yuntian, was the wealthiest man in Tianhai City, the son of Liu Gang. Everyone present was a businessman, all hoping to cling to Liu Yuntian like a towering tree, hoping for favor that would benefit their future business dealings.
Even the big man directly took Liu Yuntian's bank card and prepared to swipe it for the payment.
At that moment, Lin Tian was left out in the cold, sidelined.
Lin Tian exclaimed angrily, "I came first, I want to buy this girl, don't you know the principle of first come, first served?"
His roar stunned everyone, Liu Yuntian just had the feeling of being the center of attention, but Lin Tian's words knocked him out of the clouds.
The big man held Liu Yuntian's bank card and stared dumbfounded at Lin Tian, as if Lin Tian's words had rendered him speechless.
Everyone stared at Lin Tian with baffled expressions, as if saying: Who is this ignorant fool daring to compete with Young Master Liu for the girl he wants?
A rich second generation who was desperate to forge a connection with Liu Yuntian immediately stood up; he planned to use Lin Tian as a chopping block to gain Liu Yuntian's attention.
Kid, who the hell are you to compete with Young Master Liu for what he wants? Do you even know who Young Master Liu is or are you just tired of living!"
Lin Tian stared at him and spoke indifferently, "Are you done?"
"I'm done, what about it?" The rich second generation, standing tall and proud, kept glancing back at Liu Yuntian as he spoke. He believed that even if Lin Tian wanted to do something unfavorable to him, Liu Yuntian would have his back.
Lin Tian strode up to him, his eyes blazing with a bone-chilling coldness.
"Since you're done, you can head to the hospital now."
Lin Tian threw a punch that landed fiercely on the rich second generation's stomach. The man spat out a mouthful of blood and collapsed unconscious. The punch from Lin Tian wasn't lethal, but it was enough to break more than a dozen of his bones and confine him to a hospital bed for half a year.
Lin Tian kicked the rich second generation away, startling everyone. Those who had wanted to teach Lin Tian a lesson immediately withdrew their words, watching Liu Yuntian out of the corners of their eyes to see his reaction.
Liu Yuntian was different from the other rich second-generation types; he had real business to attend to, rather than being a wastrel living off his parents' wealth. He owned his own company, and thus made his decisions carefully.
He didn't make things difficult for Lin Tian. Instead, he pulled out a token, a Gold Token.
The people of Wolong Bay were divided into four levels based on their worth: bronze, silver, gold, and diamond.
Currently, of the roughly two to three hundred people in Wolong Bay, less than ten had the means to hold a Gold Token, and only Lin Tian held a Diamond Token.
With the appearance of the Gold Token, Liu Yuntian's formidable status was evident, and those around him looked on with envy.
"Young Master Liu is so bold and domineering, actually holding a Gold Token."
"Young Master Liu is so outstanding, one day he will surely hold a Diamond Token."
"Respect. Much respect."
... ... . ,
After praising Liu Yuntian, the crowd turned their spears toward Lin Tian.
"Kid, what's your worth, what Token are you holding?"
"Right, if it's just a Bronze Token, beat it!"
"Young Master Liu's wealth is not something you can compare to, better scram."
"Get lost, get lost, get lost...!"
... ... .
Most of these people held Bronze Tokens, and even those capable of holding a Silver Token were the minority. And now, they were looking down on Lin Tian. It was hard to say whether they still knew what shame was.
Liu Yuntian, however, looked quite calm, with just a faint smile on his lips as he watched Lin Tian, not saying a word. For with his insight, he could tell Lin Tian was no ordinary man. He wanted to gauge Lin Tian's strength properly before deciding whether or not to take action.
Slowly, Lin Tian reached into his pocket and pulled out a token.
Amidst the crowd's jeering and mocking, Lin Tian revealed a Diamond Token.
The crystal-clear diamond shone brightly, dazzling under the flickering lights.
"Diamond, it's actually a Diamond Token!"
"Diamond, it's really a diamond."
"That means his net worth is over a hundred billion."
"Even stronger than Liu Yuntian."
"Wow!"
The crowd gasped in amazement. A net worth of over a hundred billion immediately put them to shame. They had just been mocking Lin Tian, but now they felt like an invisible hand had slapped them across the face.
