Chapter 708: Chapter 708: Fair Trade (First Update)
Following the sound of the voice, a light exclamation came from outside the door, and then the door was pushed open as a scantily clad woman with a graceful figure walked in leisurely.
It was none other than the dancer.
Xue An sat silently in the chair watching her, expressionless.
The dancer was taken aback upon entering.
She was surprised to see An Yan and the two young girls sitting to the side.
The stunning beauty of the mother and daughters shook her.
It took her a moment to regain her composure, and then she turned to look at Xue An.
“A Second Rank Samurai, you were actually able to see through my concealment, you truly possess remarkable strength.”
The dancer had stealthily approached from the shadows, not expecting that her presence would be exposed by Xue An with just a word, naturally she felt astonished.
Upon hearing her words, Xue An merely smiled faintly, though his Divine Sense was disrupted by the radiation of the surroundings, it was still enough to envelop this small building.
Therefore, as soon as the dancer appeared near the building, he already knew.
However, when the dancer saw the smile on Xue An’s face, she felt a hint of discomfort in her heart, and then scoffed coldly, “But do you know that even though you possess considerable strength, you’re about to face a disaster.”
In the dancer’s view, upon hearing this, the Second Rank Samurai certainly would have shown fear.
Unexpectedly, Xue An merely raised his eyebrows slightly, and a faint smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
“Oh? Is that so? So you can tell fortunes too!”
Although she did not understand what fortune-telling was, the dancer could tell from Xue An’s slightly mocking smile that it probably wasn’t something pleasant.
The dancer forcibly suppressed the rage in her heart, and said coldly, “I don’t know why you are so fearless, but if you think you can run amok in Riverside Town with the strength of a Second Rank Samurai, then you are mistaken!”
“Let me put it straight, the headmen and others have found out that you’ve given the siblings in the shanty town a top-grade Pure Water. I’m guessing they’re on their way here right now!”
Upon hearing this, Xue An’s gaze grew colder.
He had considered this when he gave the items to Chen Atu, thinking Chen Atu would know to play down his abilities since he had grown up in the lower echelons, but he did not expect it to be discovered so quickly.
“Moreover, you’re actually accompanied by such beautiful family members. If the headmen and the butchers see them, the consequences are imaginable!”
After hearing this, Xue An leaned back in his chair leisurely and looked at the dancer, “I’m curious, why did you come to inform me?”
A glint of greed flashed through the dancer’s eyes, “I’ve looked carefully, and you’re not carrying much with you, yet you gave those siblings a lot of Pure Water. So, the question is, how did you carry these things with you?”
“Therefore… I’m guessing you must be carrying a treasure capable of storing a lot of items!”
Xue An fiddled with his fingers, not even lifting his head, and simply stated, “What if I am?”
“Very simple, you hand over that item, and I can take you away from here right now!”
Xue An looked up at the dancer, “Take us away?”
The dancer nodded, “I know a secretive path that can get you out of Riverside Town safely!”
Xue An looked at the dancer with a smile that wasn’t quite a smile, remaining silent.
“I know you must be reluctant to part with it, but this is your only chance. Because it’s not just the headmen and the butchers coming this time, there’s also a noble from the city. Your strength as a Second Rank Samurai is nothing in front of them!”
“And this is a fair trade; you hand over the item, and I ensure the safety of your family! You should know that though resources are precious, without life, everything is meaningless.”
Xue An nodded, “That sounds reasonable, but it seems you’ve spoken too late!”
The dancer wanted to say more, but the footsteps outside were getting closer. She stamped her foot in frustration and said darkly, “You have no idea of the trouble you’re in!”
