Chapter 242: The trouble of the Bouncer

At the same time, Lao Xie also encountered a little trouble, that is, the origin of the jumping knife. After all, this thing was lost after the August family store was robbed, but now it appears at Lao Xie's hands, so of course they will be suspicious.

However, Lao Xie is not a fool, of course he will not admit his conscience, but he will not lie about it, ignore the other party directly, and ignore the fault. The fat man, in accordance with the instructions of the old master, stated to the outside world that this was a treasure of his ancestors and had nothing to do with the August family. Of course, he did not forget to take the opportunity to mock the August family, saying that their family is almost begging for food, so how can they afford such a treasure? It is clearly a deliberate blackmail!

After hearing the fat man's words, the Augustan family was naturally furious, but they could not think of any way to take back the jump knife except to scold him. Because when they got the item, they had some of the origins of the item, and the spells that were not used made it have no actual value at all and could not be sold for a good price. Therefore, the Augustan family kept hiding it, hoping to wait until it found a way to use it in the future before auctioning or using it on their own. Therefore, there were very few people in the Augustan family who knew about it. As for other senior leaders of the Griffon Kingdom, there was no one even knowing it.

In this case, although they reported the case, they could not provide proof that this thing belonged to the August family. Of course, as far as the August family is concerned, in general, as long as he said it was his, it would not be the same, and basically no one dared to say it was ignorant. But the problem is, the Stephen family is not ordinary? Their power is a little larger than the August family. In fact, if the August family had not produced a queen, they would not be able to compete with the Stephen family. So if the Stephen family said that the August family was lying, the August family would have no choice but to provide sufficient proof.

Moreover, since the two families are now as powerful as fire, they directly accuse each other of each other in the eyes of outsiders. Even if the Augustan family said that jumping the knife was a lost property of their family, others would think that it was because the Augustan family had known that the Stephen family had this treasure, so they planned to set up a trap, which made the Stephen family suffer? You know that the Augustan family has always had a bad reputation in the aristocratic circle, especially after their family inexplicably obtained the Stephen family's secret recipe for bows and arrows, everyone looked down on them even more. After all, there are not many fools in the aristocratic circle, and anyone can see the tricks. Since the Augustan family can trick the Stephen family into this matter, it is not impossible to make a fuss about jumping the knife.

Therefore, although the Augustan knew clearly that the only jumping knife on the continent was indeed stolen, but it could not be taken back at all. Unless they could provide conclusive evidence to prove that the jumping knife was theirs. However, the original owner of the jumping knife was Chrischen. With him, the Stephen family was not afraid of suing the Augustan family at all. Maybe in the end, the Chrischen's unjust case could be revealed.

However, maybe they were guilty. Anyway, the August family did not intend to entangle in this place, but gave up the argument for the ownership of the sword. Instead, they began to question Lao Xie's identity. They suspected that Lao Xie was robbing their shop and torture those noble children. After all, Lao Xie's power was too perverted. Not to mention anything else, just talk about the decapitation sword of the Abyss Demon, each weighing hundreds of pounds, and even the human level six masters couldn't play with it. But Lao Xie was just like the wooden sword that was holding, and could cut off the neck of the Abyss Demon with one sword, which shows how terrible this power was. In addition, Lao Xie's figure was tall enough, which immediately met the two characteristics of the murderer.

But they couldn't figure out the last point, that was Lao Xie's arm length. Although everyone was killed in the scene of the murder of the nobles, many people witnessed it when the store was robbed. They all said that the murderer's arms were extremely long and could almost reach his feet. In front of everyone, Lao Xie's arms were exactly the same as others, even if they were a little longer, they were within an acceptable range, and they were definitely not as exaggerated as the feet.

However, for the Augustans, it doesn't matter if they can't figure it out, they can make it up! So their people spread rumors everywhere that Lao Xie was the murderer, but he was wearing special boxing gloves at that time, so he looked a little awkward. Otherwise, how could there be such a strange person in the world?

Under the disdain of the August family, not only the nobles were fooled, but even the royal spies began to become alert and strengthened their investigation of the Stephen family. Several guys even came to Lao Xie carelessly and said that they would ask him to go back to assist in the investigation.

Of course, this kind of small character who was known to be bribed by the August family was not in Lao Xie's eyes at all. In fact, he didn't need to do anything at all. The fat man directly called his subordinates to knock out these unknown guys from the house.

But the problem is that if you always make such a fuss, the fat man would be annoyed Lao Xie. So, after sending away the annoying guys, Lao Xie called Chrischen to his room alone, and ordered with some annoyance: "Go and inquire about me, what valuable industries does the Augustan family have?"

"Young Master, what do you want to know?" Chrischen smiled helplessly and said, "They have too many family industries and they are all very valuable. At least give me a direction for investigation?"

"Just look for shops with small things but very valuable things, such as the magic material store last time." Lao Xie said.

"Ah? Do you want to get them again?" Chrischen said in surprise immediately.

"Hehe, didn't they say I brought gloves? I'll show them this time if I really brought them!" Lao Xie smiled treacherously.

"But after the last incident, their industries have been more alert. I'm afraid you're not that good this time!" Chrischen said with a frown.

"Hmph, it doesn't matter how much they come!" Lao Xie said disdainfully: "Just find a good target for me, don't worry about anything else!"

"If this is the case, there is indeed a good goal to start now." Chrischen said immediately.

"Oh, what's the thing?" Lao Xie asked curiously immediately.

"That's right." Chrischen then explained: "It is said that the old master made a bet with Frank, the patriarch of the August family before Qiushou. There were several people involved. Both parties bet a lot, and Frank finally lost tens of thousands of gold coins. You also know that the financial situation of the August family has been extremely bad recently, especially after suffering a big loss on the bow and arrow materials last time, they could barely maintain it. This time, the money lost again, which suddenly led to a serious financial crisis in their family. If there is no large amount of cash flow, it may lead to the collapse of the entire family's business. So in this case, they had to take out a treasure treasure collected by the family for auction. If you can get this thing, I believe that everyone in the August family will vomit blood!"

"Haha, that's great!" Lao Xie immediately asked excitedly when he heard this, "What is it? How much is it worth?"

"It is a sub-artifact component called the Ring of Toughness, with a minimum price of 70,000 gold coins, but the final auction price is probably more than 100,000, or even 150,000 or 100,000 or 150,000 or 60,000!" Chrischen said: "It is said that even our old master couldn't sit still after hearing the news! He ordered the master to prepare 20,000 yuan in cash immediately, which was obviously determined to win!"

"Haha, the old guy actually valued it so much? It must be a good thing." Lao Xie then asked hurriedly: "What is this tough ring? Why haven't I heard of it?"

"Hehe, it was actually the first time I heard about it, so I went to know it out." Chrischen then explained: "According to professionals, the Ring of Toughness is a component of the sub-artifact Surging Blood Essence. According to legend, the "Pengpai Blood Essence" is a bracelet that spread from the plane of another world about three thousand years ago and was possessed by a legendary wizard. Later, after his death, this thing became a burial object. More than 2,000 years ago, a group of high-quality tomb robbers got this thing from the tombs everywhere in his mechanism. At that time, there were five tomb robbers, all of them wanted to possess this thing and argued with each other. In the end, they decided to decompose the "Pengpai Blood Essence" and divide it into five parts to divide it equally, namely the four gems on it, and the bare metal ring. These five things are the ring of healing, the gem of nothingness, the energy gem, the gem of essence and the vital gem."

"Damn, it's a pretty good thing, what's the use of tearing it off?" Lao Xie couldn't help but shake his head and smiled bitterly: "What a bunch of prodigal sons!"
