Chapter 244 Dealing with the Evil Beast
Walking into the crowd, I saw from afar a ferruginous animal lying on the ground, holding its stomach and humming non-stop.
When Bamboo Bear saw the face of the iron-eating beast on the ground clearly, his expression suddenly changed.
"what happened?"
Zhuxiong glanced around and found that Qimo was the only one at the stall today. Originally, Xiangxiang had insisted on doing this for fun, but he didn't expect that Xiangxiang was nowhere to be seen now, and only Qimo was working hard to do business.
"Chief, please help me judge the situation!"
The iron-eating beast on the ground is called Lin Ke. He is a notorious rogue in Wanshou City. Not only is he lazy and gluttonous, he also likes to take advantage of small opportunities.
When Lin Ke saw Zhu Xiong coming, he immediately shouted.
"Lin Ke, what are you doing here?"
Zhu Xiong took a deep breath. Today, there were not only people from Wanshou City in the food street, but also many orcs from outside came to visit their food street. He originally thought that this might be a good opportunity for publicity, but he didn't expect it to be disrupted by this guy Lin Ke.
"Chief, you can't say that!" Lin Ke pouted in a wronged manner. "I'm the victim. How can you just assume it's my fault without knowing the truth?"
After saying that, Lin Ke started crying loudly.
"Come and see, they are bullying us~"
Seeing Lin Ke's tantrum, Zhu Xiong wanted to just go up and beat him up. But he also knew that he couldn't, otherwise he would ruin Jiaojiao's hard work.
"Then tell me, how did you become a victim?"
Zhuxiong asked patiently, and Ziyi on the side couldn't help but give Zhuxiong a look that said you are so awesome. After all, if it were still him, he would really go up and bite the other person to death.
"I ate something from Qimo's stall and got severe stomach pain. I suspect his food is poisonous."
Seeing this, Lin Ke immediately stood up and pointed at Qimo and spoke loudly.
"I just ate their fried bamboo shoots with meat, and then I started having stomach pains. There must be something wrong with his food."
Qimo gritted his teeth and was about to step forward to argue with Lin Ke, but when he received a look from Takekuma, he just didn't say anything for the time being.
"You said the food on Chimo's stall is poisonous. Do you have any evidence?"
Zhu Xiong glanced at the crowd. You know, a lot of orcs have become rich recently, and Qimo's stall is doing pretty good business. The food tastes good and is affordable.
"Isn't my stomachache proof?"
Lin Ke said angrily, holding his stomach.
"So how do you want to deal with this?"
Zhu Xiong wanted to know what Lin Ke's purpose was, otherwise he would not come to frame Qi Mo for no reason. As far as he knew, there was no hatred between them.
"Hmm..." Lin Ke obviously didn't expect that Bamboo Bear would believe his words so easily and was ready to ask for compensation for him, so he rolled his eyes and his sight fell on the small rattan basket that Qimo used to hold crystals.
When he came here, he deliberately took a look around the food city and found that Qimo's business was particularly good and he was making a lot of money, so he turned his attention to him. Now that he had the opportunity to blackmail him, how could he miss it?
"Actually, I just have a stomachache, it's not fatal, so let him compensate me... five... ten yellow crystals!" Lin Ke just took a closer look and found that Qimo had exactly ten yellow beast crystals.
The onlookers all gasped. You know, yellow beast crystals are not easy to obtain, and this Lin Ke actually asked for ten.
Zhu Xiong glanced at it and sneered.
Seeing that Bamboo Bear didn't immediately give him the beast crystals, and even laughed coldly, Lin Ke realized that something seemed amiss. Just as he was about to change his words and ask for only five yellow beast crystals, Bamboo Bear grabbed his wrist.
"Since you insist that your stomachache is caused by eating the food cooked by Chimo, then this clan leader will help you take a look."
Everyone in the Iron-eating Beast Clan and even the entire Beast City knew that Bamboo Bear was a witch doctor. Not only that, his medical skills were so great that he even cured A-man's infertility.
Lin Ke naturally didn't dare let Zhuxiong see. He struggled to pull his hand back, but Zhuxiong's star level was several levels higher than his. It was as easy as pinching a chicken for him to do so. There was no way he could break free.
"I...I'm not in pain anymore!" Lin Ke realized something was wrong and shouted hurriedly, "I'm not in pain anymore all of a sudden. Chief, you don't need to look at me anymore."
Zhu Xiong sneered, "Oh? Weren't you rolling on the ground in pain just now? It doesn't hurt anymore?"
Lin Ke nodded repeatedly, "Yes, I don't feel any pain anymore!"
"Well... I remembered I had something else to do, so I'll leave first."
Lin Ke said this and tried to run away, but Zhu Xiong didn't let him go. Instead, he looked at Qi Mo and asked, "Has he paid the beast crystal?"
Lin Ke's face turned pale. He just wanted to eat for free, so how could he possibly pay for the beast crystals? What's more, he didn't have any!
"No!" Qimo crossed his arms over his chest, unable to suppress the smile on his face.
The onlookers couldn't understand what was going on. Lin Ke was simply trying to freeload and wrongly accuse Qi Mo. In an instant, the onlookers' eyes turned contemptuous.
In the past, Lin Ke only did minor things, but now he has even started to cheat and deceive people.
"In that case, Lin Ke, shouldn't you pay for this beast crystal before leaving?" Zhu Xiong said, and with an effort, Lin Ke fell in front of Qi Mo's stall.
"I was wrong!" Lin Ke knew that he couldn't escape this time, so he begged for mercy.
"You're wrong?" Qimo smiled and squatted down, reaching eye level with Lin Ke. "Then tell me, where did you go wrong?"
Lin Ke gritted his teeth secretly, but more and more people were watching. If he stayed any longer, who knew what might happen.
"I shouldn't have been greedy and deliberately slandered you." Lin Ke lowered his head and said in a low voice.
"What did you say? I can't hear you!" Qimo pretended to be hard of hearing and asked loudly, raising his voice.
Lin Ke naturally knew that Qimo did it on purpose and wanted to embarrass him, but now everyone was on Qimo's side and he had no chance of winning at all.
"I was wrong. I shouldn't have been so jealous as to try to blackmail you for the beast crystal."
Lin Ke shouted loudly, then ignored everyone's pointing and talking, quickly pushed through the crowd and left.
The onlookers burst into laughter and gradually began to disperse, not taking this little incident to heart.
"Thank you!"
Qimo stepped forward to express his gratitude. To be honest, he was completely confused at first. After all, it was his first time doing business and he had never encountered such a thing before. He had no idea how to deal with it.
Fortunately, Takekuma came over, otherwise, he might have been tricked by Lin Ke today.
"Why are you thanking me?" Zhu Xiong patted Qi Mo's shoulder and glanced around. "Where's Xiang Xiang? Why isn't she here?"
Qimo's face froze, and after a long while he managed a smile, he shook his head, "How could she hold the stall? She must have gone to play with some female!"
Takekuma didn't say anything. Although he knew that Qimo must be lying to him, he didn't expose him on the spot. He just responded lightly and said goodbye to Qimo.
