Upon hearing this, Li Yun smiled faintly; this type of scene seemed extremely familiar, almost like the ones the protagonist used to encounter.
The greedy boss had plotted against him, attracted the ridicule of countless passersby, and started showing disdain toward the protagonist, belittling him to the extreme.
Then, the plot would take a turn, the protagonist would display his superhuman power, give everyone a tremendous lesson, making them remember his existence, and the protagonist would become famous in one fell swoop.
Li Yun felt more and more that he was enjoying the privileges of a protagonist.
Well, being the great villain, today he would pretend to be the protagonist and give a good lesson in humility.
"I originally didn't want to expose you, but since you keep talking incessantly, don't blame me for revealing your true face."
"Ladies and gentlemen, the greedy merchant in front of you sells poor-quality stones, they are all worthless stones, they can't produce even a bit of jade."
"Deceiving consumers to make money, today I will expose you."
Li Yun pointed at the greedy boss and reprimanded him.
"That's a lie, you're talking nonsense! You don't want to pay, and yet you speak baselessly, ladies and gentlemen, he is slandering me!"
The greedy boss was somewhat desperate; if Li Yun exposed him today, he wouldn't be able to stay in this business.
"If what you say is a lie, we can check it, open all these stones, and if even a bit of jade comes out, I'll pay you ten times the price. But if they're all worthless stones, then you have to eat all these stones, what do you think?"
"I'm not betting with you, who knows if you're just trying to take advantage of my stones to make money? And what if you can't pay afterward?"
"That's easy, I'll pay you ten million in advance, I'll buy all your stones, if jade comes out, I'll give you a billion more. If not, then eat these stones."
"You... I...!"
The greedy boss was nervous; he knew very well that none of those stones contained jade, it would be impossible to open them.
If he really let Li Yun do this, his reputation would be ruined.
"What's wrong, you don't dare to bet, are you scared? This is ten million, even a billion, don't you want it? Or do you know there's no jade here, and that's why you're scared?" Li Yun looked at the greedy boss with a smile.
If they wanted to deceive him, they would have to pay the price.
"Who knows if there's something inside? It's a bet, it's a gamble, we don't know if there's something, if you can't open it, are you going to blame my stones? If all the gamblers who can't get jade, are they going to blame the stores? Should those stores keep existing?"
The greedy boss obviously wasn't going to let Li Yun open those stones, so he found an excuse to evade him.
"If two or three stones have nothing, it's just because you don't have a good eye, but if all the stones here have nothing, are you going to blame my eye too?"
"I told you, a billion, I bet there's not even a trace of jade here, do you dare to bet?"
Li Yun looked at the greedy boss with a playful smile, wanting to see what else this boss would do.
Of course, the spectators in the place, seeing Li Yun with such determination, convinced that there was no jade, and seeing the boss showing nervousness, started to doubt.
"With such a big bet, why doesn't the boss accept it? If at least a bit of jade comes out, he'd win a billion, with that, he wouldn't have to be here selling on the street."
"I see the boss is nervous, he must have something to hide, could it be that the stones really are as this man says, and they're all worthless stones?"
"I think that's the case, the boss knows there's no jade here, otherwise, even if he had only a 1% chance, he would be betting."
"I thought this boss seemed nice, but it turns out he's a greedy one selling worthless stones, trying to deceive customers."
"Yeah, this guy doesn't have a good ending."
Li Yun's words, coupled with the guilty expression of the boss, made the situation completely turn against him.
However, this time it wasn't against Li Yun, but against the greedy boss.
"You... you... where did you come from, how dare you cause trouble?"
"Brothers, grab him!"
The boss, completely furious, could no longer continue arguing with Li Yun, so he decided to take action.
With an order, several people nearby Li Yun rushed to attack him, trying to control him immediately.
"Chu Jun, act mercilessly!"
Chu Jun received the order, without any consideration, unleashed all his middle-level strength in the dark realm, and threw a punch at one of the attackers.
"Ah…!"
A scream resonated when the man who had tried to surprise Li Yun was knocked to the ground, bleeding profusely.
Then, Chu Jun kept throwing punches, knocking down all the accomplices of the greedy boss.
The lackeys of the greedy boss were defeated, leaving the boss completely alone, while the spectators, hearing the start of the fight, quickly fled.
"No… don't come closer, don't come closer! This is a society governed by law, what... what do you want to do? Hitting is illegal!"
Seeing Chu Jun, a death god, step by step approaching, the greedy boss began to get nervous, his legs trembling involuntarily.
When Chu Jun was almost by his side, the boss could only mention the law, trying to remind him that hitting was illegal.
The greedy boss's words made Li Yun laugh.
"Are you talking to me about law? I want to settle this with you, but you talk about the law when you threaten to hit me."
"Don't you know that deceiving consumers is also illegal?"
Li Yun, laughing, spoke with a stern tone, scaring the greedy boss, who fell to the ground, begging for his life.
"Who does wrong must pay the price."
"No! Boss, I'm sorry! Give me another chance, actually, the money I paid you before, I want to return it, let me go!"
The greedy boss knelt and begged, even quickly returning the fifty thousand he had received from Gu Yanran, just trying to save his skin.
"Alright, give me those fifty thousand."
Li Yun took out the payment code, the greedy boss quickly scanned it and transferred the fifty thousand immediately.
