Chapter 1474 - 1477: Who’s Threatening Whom?

"Are you kidding, you can afford it? I can’t believe it!" The flamboyant woman standing next to Lin Feng glared at him and said with a cold laugh, "If you’re going to pretend to be rich, you have to have the means. 1.8 million isn’t 180 bucks. Can you come up with that kind of money?!"

The middle-aged man couldn’t help but glance curiously at Lin Feng. He still hadn’t said much, yet he seemed confidently assured, like someone well-acquainted with the world.

Even a clay figure has its temper, let alone Lin Feng, who is known for his fiery nature. Initially, he didn’t want to argue with this woman, but after being repeatedly provoked by her, he finally felt a bit miffed. A slight smile appeared on his lips as he felt an urge to tease her on purpose.

"Whoa, you were right... I really didn’t bring that much cash..." Lin Feng suddenly slapped his pocket with exaggerated gestures, saying with a grin.

"Uh... then, dear customer, what about the jade Buddha?" The female sales assistant, who was about to pack the jade Buddha for Lin Feng, was a bit stunned. Lin Feng meant he hadn’t brought the money... What kind of joke was that!

"Hahaha..." The flamboyant woman erupted into a piercing laughter, "I knew it, you poor bugger, trying to act all important in front of me! If you have no money, hurry up and get lost, don’t hog space!"

Hehe... Zhu Xiuyue chuckled silently twice. Her lovely big eyes carried a look of pity as she gazed at the flamboyant woman, feeling a joyful sense of revenge... Brother Feng is truly amazing, embarrassing this woman drastically in an instant!

"I indeed didn’t bring cash..." Lin Feng ignored the flamboyant woman’s ridicule, speaking cheerfully to the female sales assistant, "You should accept card payments, right?"

Uh... the flamboyant woman’s expression froze, card payments?! You’re joking, weren’t you saying you had no money?!

"You definitely can use a card!" The female sales assistant’s eyes lit up, eagerly nodding to Lin Feng, then she grabbed a POS machine from the side counter and placed it in front of him, entering the 1.8 million price, making a gesture for Lin Feng to proceed.

Lin Feng slickly pulled a bank card from his pocket, swiped it, and after entering his PIN a few times, the transaction was swiftly completed.

Seeing the successful card receipt being printed, the female sales assistant was thrilled to confirm that Lin Feng actually bought that jade Buddha, a broad smile instantly breaking across her face... The commission from this sale would cover nearly half a year’s salary for her!

"He actually bought it..." The flamboyant woman watched Lin Feng actually accepting the packaged jade Buddha from the sales assistant, the stinging embarrassment burning on her face. She never imagined that Lin Feng and Zhu Xiuyue, appearing so ordinarily dressed, would be so lavish, buying nearly two million worth of jewellery without even blinking an eye!

This can’t be left like that! The flamboyant woman felt strangely angry out of humiliation; she couldn’t afford to lose face this way. She had to get that jade Buddha no matter what, or where would her pride go?

"Husband... You’re not saying anything? Are you just going to watch me get bullied like this? Even if my pride doesn’t matter, can you just toss yours aside?" The flamboyant woman shot a glare at the middle-aged man, speaking coquettishly.

The middle-aged man felt the heat of embarrassment rising on his face at the woman’s words. He saw Lin Feng and Zhu Xiuyue readying to leave. Unable to contain himself, he lightly coughed, speaking mildly, "Excuse me, young man, could I trouble you to hold on a moment!"

Lin Feng turned around, looking at the middle-aged man with a half-smile, a hint of questioning evident in his gaze.

"Wow... Here comes the defender for the lady, huh?" Zhu Xiuyue glanced at the middle-aged man, sneering.

Calling her "lady" was Zhu Xiuyue’s intentional sarcastic jab, hinting that the woman wasn’t the man’s rightful spouse.

"The jade Buddha in your hand caught my... lover’s eye. I wonder, young man, if you’d be willing to let it go? I’d be willing to buy it from you with a five thousand premium..." The middle-aged man, seemingly unfazed by Zhu Xiuyue’s mockery, looked calmly at Lin Feng, speaking in a deep voice.

"Don’t, why let him earn five thousand..." The flamboyant woman spoke resentfully.

The middle-aged man turned back, quietly gazing at the flamboyant woman.

The flamboyant woman hesitated, thus calming down. Letting Lin Feng profit five thousand bothered her, but for her husband, five thousand was merely small change; the real issue was maintaining face!

"Five thousand?" Lin Feng chuckled lightly, glancing up at the slightly prosperous-looking middle-aged man, speaking coolly, "Sounds not too bad, turning around and making five thousand, doesn’t seem I’d be at a loss..."

"I always aim for a win-win when doing business, naturally not letting you suffer a loss... five thousand may not be much, but at least it reflects my sincerity." The middle-aged man nodded, said to Lin Feng somewhat proudly.

"Five thousand can buy a lot of things..." Lin Feng chuckled, pointing at a particularly exquisite platinum diamond necklace, saying with a smile, "That pretty necklace is listed at four thousand nine hundred..."

"So, young man, you agree to the deal?" The middle-aged man’s face showed a hint of satisfaction; he heard Lin Feng speaking so amiably, assuming he agreed to the transaction, feeling a bit smug... merely a kid from a nouveau riche background, even if wealthy, what of it, one’s vision dictates one’s heights. Just moments earlier, clashing vigorously with the woman, now swayed by five thousand.

"When did I say I agreed?" Lin Feng suddenly turned, looked at the middle-aged man, and said coldly, "What I meant was, five thousand isn’t stingy, perhaps you shouldn’t waste it on such a woman... I’m saving your family money!"

"Asshole, what did you say!" The flamboyant woman shrieked at Lin Feng, uncontrollably flaring up as she hated being scorned for her status, nearly rushing towards Lin Feng, but was restrained by the middle-aged man.

"Kid!" The middle-aged man’s face turned somber, he stared at Lin Feng, speaking in a deep tone, "Do you know who I am? Offending me won’t end well for you, don’t cause trouble for your family!"

"Hehe... negotiations not going well, so resorting to threats now?" Lin Feng smiled, turned to the middle-aged man, speaking plainly, "I don’t care who you are. I just want you to leave my sight immediately, don’t contaminate my vision, understand? In Jiangzhou City, no one dares act bold in front of me!"

Lin Feng’s words were very polite, yet the arrogance and defiance within shook everyone present...

"Either this kid’s head is messed up, or he must be someone unusual, daring to make such bold claims! That no one in Jiangzhou City dares act bold in front of him... does he see himself as the lord of Jiangzhou City?!"
