My Waste Husband
Chapter 1245

Chapter 1245

Originally, when he saw Henry, Jacindo was still a little proud. After all, in his eyes, Syl was just a dispensable root and someone who could be taken out to make a deal casually by him.

But now, it was as if a thorn had been stuck in his heart. Henry stood there as if he was mocking Jacindo's ignorance and his narrow-mindedness.

"Boss Su, how much grain can you offer? I want it all." Trahern said very generously.

Boss Su thought for a moment and said, "I can offer one half now. I want to keep the rest."

As a businessman, boss Su naturally knew how much these rations would benefit him if he left them behind. However, at the same time, he also understood that he was only a private warehouse. If he didn't sell even a single grain, these adventurers would use weapons to take it instead of paying for it. After all, he didn't have the City Lord's Mansion to rely on.

Those stores also dared to secretly stock up some of the grain. Otherwise, if someone took over the stock, the City Lord's Mansion would suffer the first attack.

"Boss Su, half of the warehouse is not a lot, is it?" Trahern's eyes narrowed. He still wanted to fight for more. The more grain he stored, the more benefits he could get in the future. Of course, there were still some risks. After all, no one could be 100% sure about the situation of demonic beasts surrounding the city. Until now, everyone had only been speculating.

Boss Su shook his head repeatedly and said, "No, half the warehouse is my limit. Trahern, I am a businessman, and you know what grain means now."

"Alright then." Trahern didn't persist any further. He was already satisfied that he was able to buy. If he had come a little later, he probably wouldn't have been able to buy even a bit.

After Boss Su collected Trahern's money, he ordered someone to take Trahern to get the grain.

Trahern arranged for a few men to go down and do these things.

"Trahern, are you deliberately showing off in front of me?" Jacindo looked coldly at him. "You, Trahern, have picked up a treasure now. The Treasure Pavilion is famous, but it's just a little bit famous. You are just a bounty hunter. The Chu Family can crush you with just your little finger. You're deliberately here to buy three times the price. Do you want to show off in front of the Chu Family? Do you feel bad for the Chu Family?"

Trahern rolled his eyes. "I say, Jacindo, don't you think too highly of yourself? I earned money at the cost of my life. Is it worth it for me to give you this money? Who do you think you are? So what if you have a lot of people from the Chu Family? I don't believe you can do anything to me in the city today!"

Jacindo shouted angrily, "Trahern, you're a little arrogant!"

On that day, Trahern had many people. Since the Chu Family had yet to enter the city, Jacindo didn't dare to say anything more to Trahern. Today, however, the Chu Family's numbers were clearly greater. Moreover, they had already entered the city aboveboard. As the direct disciple of the current patriarch of the Chu Family, how could Jacindo allow a bounty hunter to be so presumptuous in front of him?

"Jacindo, all right." Kensuke stretched out his hand to stop Jacindo. Then he glanced at Trahern and said, "Trahern, I don't care who you work for or who ordered you to provoke us, but I have something to remind you. You, bounty hunters, are like fallen leaves in the lake and you have no fixed place. You came to provoke our Chu Family. Are you sure you can bear the consequences?"

"Is there something wrong with your Chu Family's brain?" Trahern pointed at his temple. "Do you think I have to nothing to do but provoke you? Do you know how much my Treasure Pavilion can make this time?"

"Trahern, just get to the point," Kristofor spoke. "Who asked you to come and snatch our Chu Family's grain? What promise did Knox give you?"

"Snatch the grain? Your Chu Family is really interesting!" Trahern looked at them like looking at an idiot. "Now the grain in the whole city has been sold out. There is a grain that is being sold and someone is fighting to buy. Do I have to do this to you? Your Chu Family can hold on. When the monsters surround the city, you won't be able to buy anything. There will be a time when you will cry! Hey, speaking of this, I still have to thank your Chu Family. This news was told by Brother Syl. If it weren't for your Chu Family being so righteous, I wouldn't have had the opportunity to cooperate with Brother Syl. Ha ha ha!"

After Trahern finished, he looked arrogantly at the people of the Chu Family and then said, "Let's go, Brother Syl, let's eat and drink!"

The people of the Chu Family, at first, were stunned by Henry's identity as an appraisal master. Now, because of this news, they were stunned again.

A siege by demonic beasts?

The Chu Family had also lived in this city before. How could they not understand the meaning of the siege of demonic beasts?

Last time, when the demonic beasts surrounded the city for a month, all the refugees outside the city flooded into the city. At that time, even the streets were full of people sleeping. People here advocated force. They didn't care about politics and didn't prepare any food at all. At that time, the granary was completely emptied in less than half a month. People in the city couldn't even eat enough. They even got porridge every day. They were miserable!

When the demonic beasts surrounded the city, food was more expensive than life.

For the current Chu Family, grain had become a problem. What would the Chu Family if the beasts really surrounded the city? Kensuke and others didn't even dare to imagine it.

"Hurry up! Go back and tell Master this news. We can't think about anything else now. Food is the most important!" Kensuke hurriedly left the granary.

The rest of the Chu Family followed.

At night, Eastern City was in curfew. After all, demonic beasts were rampant here. At night, soldiers would patrol the city and the gate would

be their only protection.

The Chu Family manor was still lit by the candles.

All the high-level officials of the Chu Family were gathered in the meeting hall of the Chu Family, and everyone's face was full of sorrow.

Ever since Kensuke and the others brought back the news of the demonic beasts surrounding the city, Placido immediately sent people around to inquire about private warehouses. He did not want them to care about the food prices anymore and buy as much as they can. After all, regardless of whether there would be demon beasts surrounding the city or not, those private stores would be sold off for a short period of time. At that time, the Chu Family would not have any place to buy anything even if they wanted to. After all, they had tens of thousands of people to feed!

As a result, the Chu Family searched all the private warehouses, but none of them sold the grains. The Chu Family did not believe it and even opened the other party's granary by force. As expected, it had already been emptied.

This news undoubtedly added fuel to the fire for the Chu Family.

In the whole meeting hall of the Chu Family, the only one that didn't have a sad look on his face was Ranjeet. At the moment, he was holding a chicken leg in his hand and eating it ceaselessly.

Although the Chu Family had a grain shortage, it was still important to take care of this top-tier talent.

"Ranjeet." Placido looked at the man and said, "Does Syl really know how to identify the treasure?"

"Yes." Ranjeet nodded and said, "He knows a lot of things."

"A lot?" Placido's heart ached again. When he first learned that Syl knew how to appraise treasures, he already had a heart-wrenching feeling.

"A lot." Ranjeet nodded. "Anyway, he is good at making money, so good!"
