Global Dungeon: My Support Is Too Strong Webnovel - Chapter 610
610 Zhang Family Shop and Liang Family Pavilion
Seeing that the leader of the scam gang, the middle-aged man with dragon and tiger tattoos, had a good attitude toward admitting his mistake, Chu Yan did not make things difficult for him anymore.
“It depends on your performance! Lead the way!” Chu Yan shouted coldly and lifted him with one hand.
The middle-aged man with dragon and tiger tattoos nodded his head like he was pounding garlic. As he led the way, he removed the ceramic fragments from his body.
“Hero, heroine, Liang Family Pavilion is just ahead.”
The middle-aged man with dragon and tiger tattoos led the way in front. He looked back from time to time, afraid that the two would go back on their words and attack again.
!!
“Yanyan, be careful. The reason why this guy dares to be so arrogant must be because someone from Antique Street is supporting him from behind,” Lu Benwei whispered the doubts in his heart.
Since this middle-aged man with dragon and tiger tattoos had successfully committed so many crimes, it was impossible for everything to go smoothly every time.
Therefore, Lu Benwei deduced that behind this middle-aged man with dragon and tiger tattoos, there must be a big shot.
“Don’t worry, I know what to do,” Chu Yan said.
Then, she quickened her pace and caught up with the middle-aged man with dragon and tiger tattoos.
“Hey, let me ask you! What’s your name?”
The middle-aged man with dragon and tiger tattoos laughed dryly. “Heroine, my name is Pei Yuan. I’m from Rodu. I have a father, a mother, and a brother at home. I’m still single…”
“I didn’t ask you to register your household registration!” Chu Yan rolled her eyes and shouted coldly.
At this moment, Lu Benwei said, “What’s the relationship between you and Liang Family Pavilion? How do they know someone like you?”
Pei Yuan smiled foolishly. “I won’t hide it from the two of you. The young master of the Liang family is a good friend of my younger brother. As his elder brother, I’ve also benefited a little from him.”
Lu Benwei narrowed his eyes and nodded slowly.
“Don’t tell me you’re trying to pull some tricks behind our backs and trick us?” Chu Yan suddenly said faintly.
Pei Yuan was so frightened that he trembled violently. The wounds on his body were still faintly hurting.
“Hero, heroine, you’ve really wronged me. If I have the slightest intention to harm you, I, Pei Yuan, will be struck with five lightning strikes!”
“Boom!”
As soon as he finished speaking, a clap of thunder tore through the sky. Suddenly, a heavy downpour fell from Rodu, drowning the town in an instant.
At the same time, a loud noise came from the northwest as if something was about to awaken.
Lu Benwei felt that the weather was abnormal. At the same time, a loud bang sounded in the northwest direction of Rodu.
“Are there any secret realms northwest of Rodu?” Lu Benwei turned his head and asked Pei Yuan.
Pei Yuan thought for a while. “It seems that there isn’t.”
The stalls on the bluestone road of the antique street began to pack up. They did not have a shop, so they could only close the stalls and go home after such heavy rain.
“Sigh, my god. It’s already raining so heavily in May. How bad would it be in July and August?”
The vendors on the bluestone road complained to each other.
“Sigh, how is this god? In my opinion, the imperial family has dug up something extraordinary in Rodu again!”
“A few days ago, when I went to the west of the city to do some work, I saw many archaeologists heading north with their weapons!”
Lu Benwei learned some things from the stall owners and thought, ‘Maybe they dug up something northwest of Rodu!’
“Just now, someone said that if he had the slightest intention to harm us, he would be struck by lightning…” Chu Yan laughed coldly.
Pei Yuan’s face stiffened, and he laughed dryly. “Although it was thunder, it didn’t strike me.”
Chu Yan thought for a while and thought that it made sense, so she ignored him.
Pei Yuan laughed apologetically, and his eyes inadvertently revealed a trace of malice.
…
Soon, Pei Yuan brought Lu Benwei and Chu Yan to one of the biggest shops on the antique street – Liang Family Pavilion!
It was a square pavilion built with redwood and white tiles.
Every wall was carved with all kinds of flowers and landscape patterns. Several couplets were hanging on the wall, making it look solemn and elegant. It was different from the green bricks and tiles of other shops.
The Liang Family Pavilion was mostly made of wood, and it had a lively Jiangnan style. The attic was square-shaped, and a corridor opened up across the door, leading to a manor.
The two sides were decorated with flowers and black bamboo. Under the heavy rain, they looked especially green and red.
“Where is he?”
Pei Yuan stepped into the Liang Family Pavilion. Other than a few shop assistants and tourists in twos and threes, there were also a few black-clothed men with serious expressions who guarded the place strictly.
“Where’s Young Master Liang?” Pei Yuan grabbed a random shop assistant and asked.
“In the manor,” the salesperson replied.
Then, Pei Yuan chuckled. “Young Master Liang is behind. Please wait for me. I’ll be right back.”
After saying that, he directly hid in the corridor.
“Are you two here to buy some divine materials? Since you’re Mr. Pei’s friend, you can follow me downstairs to take a look. The first floor is mostly filled with antiques. The true treasures are all on the second floor and above.”
Lu Benwei shook his head and said, “No need. When Mr. Pei comes back, tell him that we have already left.”
The sales assistant was stunned for a moment. Then, she saw Lu Benwei pulling Chu Yan and leaving Liang Family Pavilion.
However, the two of them did not leave the antique street immediately. After leaving the Liang Family Pavilion, they entered the Zhang Family Shop.
Compared to the exquisite and elegant Liang Family Pavilion, the Zhang Family Shop was more in line with the architectural style of the central plains of Dragon City. It was simple and unadorned.
As soon as Lu Benwei and Chu Yan entered the door, they saw a “high wall” blocking in front of the two of them.
The Zhang Family Shop mainly pawned, and buying and selling divine materials and treasures was secondary. The “high wall” in front of them was the counter in the pawnshop.
Chu Yan frowned and complained, “Why is the counter here so high? It’s inconvenient to treat people well.”
Lu Benwei said, “It’s just that it’s inconvenient for you…”
“Why?”
Lu Benwei heaved a sigh of relief. First of all, the counter of the pawnshop was very high, which was inconvenient for the customers. Lu Benwei was 1.8 meters tall, and he could not reach it even if he stood on tiptoe.
The people behind the counter could sit very high. The profit model of a pawnshop determined that the lower the price, the more money it would make.
Just think about it, the pawnshop owner was already embarrassed because he was short of money, and the pawnshop was in such a “condescending” position. When discussing the price, the shop owner was in a condescending position.
It was good for giving the customers a sense of oppression and for receiving the items.
The customers stood in front of the counter and could not see the items on the counter. They felt a sense of awe and did not dare to compete with the pawnshop.
