Chapter 270 I'm Just a Businessman
"Catherine! Have any interrogators arrived from your side?"
"No. What? Are you going to start the interrogation?"
"It seems like someone is coming!"
The fat female demi-human sat down in front of the rectangular table, took out a wrinkled notebook from her waist, and deftly took out half a metal pen from her pocket.
"Ahem! Who are you? What brings you to Hull?"
In order to speak with Catherine, Liu Chi used telepathy to convey his words to Catherine at the same time.
"I'm a traveling merchant, I came to Hull to travel and sell some things!"
"Really? Then why did I hear you were sneaking around? And where is your cargo?"
"I was so excited that I forgot the rules of Hull, so I thought of sneaking back, but I was discovered. If you don't mind~"
While explaining, Liu Chi reached into his pocket and pretended to take out three gold coins.
The fat female Asian squinted at the gold coins in Liu Chi's hand, yawned and ignored Liu Chi's bribe.
However, Liu Chi had already thought of a step-by-step strategy, so he laughed awkwardly.
"Haha! I underestimated your character! I know you must be an upright person!"
Seeing Liu Chi put the three gold coins back into her pocket, the fat female Asian's face darkened a little. She originally just looked down on these three gold coins, but now that she had no more money to gain, she naturally felt a little unhappy.
"Do you know what will happen to you now? You dare to bribe me?"
"Please make it clear that as long as it is within my ability, I will do my best! As long as you are willing to let me and my companions go."
After saying this, Liu Chi deliberately put his hands into his pockets and stirred them, causing the sound of gold coins rustling.
The fat female Asian also immediately understood what Liu Chi meant, and she looked at Liu Chi with a smile.
"I didn't expect you to be a businessman. Your companion was the one who was arrested together this morning, right?"
Liu Chi nodded and immediately said,
"How about you think about it? I will never tell anyone what happened here. After all, I am a businessman!"
"Yes, yes! You are a businessman, I trust you."
After saying that, the fat female Asian began to write something down in her notebook, looking up at Liu Chi from time to time.
"I have recorded your statement. Just to confirm, you are a businessman, right?"
"Yes, I am a traveling merchant, and I am only here to travel in Hull and sell some things."
Seeing the fat woman stretching out five fingers to him, Liu Chi smiled slightly, took out five gold coins from his pocket and spread them in his palm.
Seeing that the fat female demi-human kept smiling and did not move, Liu Chi put the gold coins back into his pocket. After putting the gold coins back into the space ring, five amethyst coins instantly appeared in his pocket.
After Liu Chi took out five amethyst coins, the fat Asian woman nodded with satisfaction.
"Someone come! Release him!"
With a shout, a man dressed as a guard walked in instantly, unlocked the cage, snatched the amethyst coins from Liu Chi's hand, and handed four to the fat female demi-human.
"As far as I remember, you only said that you were a businessman. I don't know about your companions."
Seeing the fat woman suddenly change her mind, Liu Chi's face changed and he collapsed to the ground in an instant.
"You said something, how can you go back on your word?"
"Aren't you a businessman? Let me continue to see your value?"
Thinking that Liu Chi must have a lot of savings, the fat female Asian had to make him "bleed heavily".
Liu Chi collapsed on the ground and started to act out his acting skills. He frantically searched his pockets and finally took out five gold coins and two coins, and the rest were all copper coins.
Seeing that Yanagichi's emptied pockets only had this much money, the fat female demi-human sighed and emphasized to the guard,
“It seems like he’s really a businessman.”
So Liu Chi and Catherine were released and thrown into the city like garbage.
"Liu Chi, I heard everything. What a trick. If it were me, I would have spent all my family's wealth."
"Alright, alright! Let's get out of here. Put on your hood."
"I won't wear it! This wig stinks. I don't know what those people did with it. Besides, isn't my black hair pretty good?"
"But your black hair is draining my spiritual power."
"Then make one for me!"
"Okay, let's find a place to have brunch."
After leaving the city wall area, Liu Chi and Catherine headed north towards the central commercial street.
As a tall tower reaching into the clouds came into view, both of them looked towards it at the same time.
Seeing that Catherine was surprised, Liu Chi explained,
"This tower is the holy place that all magic scholars on the continent dream of—the Magic Tower."
"I know!"
As a magician, this kind of knowledge is like common sense to Catherine.
“I wish I could go in there someday!”
"Well, when our third princess reaches a certain level of strength, someone will naturally find you."
"how do you know?"
Catherine glanced at Liu Chi in confusion, and then a voice sounded in her mind.
"The former King of Ogar, my father, the Miracle Mage, was once a member of the Tower."
"Oh yeah! I forgot about this? What's the matter? You want to go in too?"
Liu Chi shook his head.
"Although I kind of want to, forget it. I don't think this place is suitable for me."
"Humph! You're so stubborn! I see you just want to get in!"
"No more talking! I'm going to eat. If you want to be hungry, just stay here!"
After saying that, Liu Chi started walking directly. He didn't plan to continue walking towards the magic tower, but to find a nearby tavern to eat.
It was lunchtime, and after each of them summoned their big cat pet, the group of four walked into a tavern.
The tables and chairs were neatly arranged in the tavern. Apart from Liu Chi and his group of four, there were no other guests.
After seeing Liu Chi and the other three, the young man in the tavern was slightly startled, and immediately shouted to the kitchen in the back,
"Grandpa! There are guests coming!"
Seeing the unusual scene in front of him, although Liu Chi felt strange, he still sat down at a square table in the center of the main room.
After notifying his grandfather, the boy quickly trotted over with a menu.
"Four distinguished guests, here is the menu, just tell me what you want to eat!"
After Liu Chi took the menu, he glanced at it and handed it to Catherine.
"What are you eating, look at it."
Soon, Catherine pointed to the words on the menu.
“This is the signature barbecue!”
"No!" The boy looked a little embarrassed, "We don't have barbecue here for the time being."
"Then this is it, the signature meat stew."
"no!"
"Why not? Isn't this a place for eating?"
As if hearing Catherine's voice, an old man with unsteady legs and a limp walked out from the kitchen.
"I'm sorry, we only have wild rabbit meat here today, and my grandson is still young, so please let him go."
After seeing the old man's appearance, Liu Chi was also slightly surprised, as if he understood in an instant why this tavern was so tidy.
"Uncle, did something happen to our tavern?"
Liu Chi looked at the old man.
The old man gave an embarrassed smile and explained,
"Today is probably our last day of business. I didn't expect to meet four customers. Judging from their attire, they must be from out of town, right?"
