After his explanation, Lager Zu's eyes lit up with excitement. He looked at Fade Chen and Master Xie with a smile on his face and said, "You guys must have found something good to be in such a hurry to leave!"
Master Xie said in a deep voice, "We don't understand what you are talking about. We didn't find anything."
Lager shook his finger and said, "Mr. Xie, your words can't convince me!"
"Then what do you want?" Master Xie asked in impatience. Normally, if he met an ordinary person who dared to challenge him, he would have killed the person in a move. But now, he had decided to be loyal to Fade, so he could not act as unscrupulous as before.
Lager's gaze landed on the two traveling bags. He said, "Since both of you are carrying such large bags, you must be very tired. I'll send someone to carry them for you!"
As he said that, Lager made a gesture with his hand, and his subordinates immediately walked toward both of them. It seemed like they were about to grab their bags and search what was in it.
Master Xie's gaze was cold. He glanced at Fade with a questioning look, wondering if he should take action or not.
At this moment, Fade spoke. He took out a Sacred Fig and placed it in his hand. He looked at Lager and said, "There's no need to search anymore. This is what you're looking for, isn't it?"
Lager looked at the small and smooth fruit on Fade's palm and his eyes immediately lit up. He almost pounced on it. "That, that's it. The old villager had a photo of it. That's it," Lager exclaimed.
"Haha, I didn't expect you to be so lucky to find this treasure!" Lager said.
Fade said faintly, "Yes, we have found this treasure. What do you want, Chief Zu?"
Lager was stunned. He didn't expect this young man to be so stupid. "Wasn't I clear that I wanted to snatch that treasure from him? Yet he is still asking me what I want to do!
Then, he thought of an idea and a smile appeared on his face. He said, "I see, Mr. Chen is smart. Since I am the boss here, I will definitely not treat you badly. How about this, I will buy the fruit in your hand."
"You want to buy it?" Master Xie said, and his expression darkened as his voice turned cold.
Fade still pretended as though he did not understand what was going on. "Buy, you would like to buy this? How much are you willing to pay for it?"He asked.
Lager immediately took out a stack of money from his bag and showed it to Fade. He said, "This much money. I'm sure you have not seen so much money before. Give me the fruit, and the money will be yours."
Looking at the bank notes in Lager's hand, Master Xie became angry. He shouted, "You were just saying that one fruit is worth five million yuan twenty years ago. Now it's possible for it to fetch more than ten million yuan. But now you intend to buy it from us with ten thousand yuan. Are you kidding?"
Hearing this, Lager's face fell. He kept the bank notes in his hand and said coldly, "To be honest, I offered you the money because I wanted to compensate you for your long journey. Otherwise, I wouldn't have given you any money. The treasure in your hands belongs to me anyway."
"You want to snatch it from us!" Master Xie said, and his face fell.
Lager smiled and said, "Snatch it from you? Why are you using such harsh words? I'm not that kind of person."
"This treasure belongs to me in the first place," Lager spoke, and his expression changed.
"Bullsh*t, when did this thing become yours!" Master Xie could not help but yell angrily.
