Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Once he heard that Lu Yu had something to sell, the old man was no longer lethargic. His whole body became alert all of a sudden. He stared at Lu Yu fixedly and said slowly, “As long as you dare to take it out to sell, we at Saint’s Presence Pawnshop will dare to accept it!”

As the balding old man said that, his eyes began to show a hint of anticipation.

He was really looking forward to finding out what was the item Lu Yu said he wanted to pawn off.

Under the balding old man’s unwavering gaze, Lu Yu gestured with his eyes to the door that was still wide open.

The balding old man smiled knowingly at this point and then extended his hand to press on a button under the counter.

Immediately after that, the door of the pawnshop was closed tightly. The balding old man walked out from behind the counter and came up to Lu Yu.

“Sir, please follow me to this end.”

As the balding old man spoke, he made a gesture of invitation to Lu Yu before turning around and leading him towards the backyard of the pawnshop. 𝑓𝓇𝘦𝘦𝓌𝘦𝑏𝘯𝘰𝑣𝘦𝘭.𝑐𝘰𝑚

Under the guidance of the balding old man, Lu Yu arrived at an ancient and traditional-looking small courtyard.

After walking into a room in the small courtyard, the balding old man sat down at the coffee table in the room. Pointing to the seat opposite his own, he nodded to Lu Yu.

After seeing the old man’s gesture, Lu Yu didn’t say anything and walked the few steps to the seat and sat down slowly.

After sitting down, Lu Yu took out from within his interspatial ring the spiritual energy ores, some A-class weapons and other stuff which originally belonged to the Hu family that he had looted from the Southern Seas Hotel.

Looking at these things that Lu Yu took out, the balding old man could not help giving a big gasp.

“Gasp… These are spiritual energy ores! And there are A-class weapons too?”

“Sir, you have a really big haul here. If I’m not mistaken, you are the person who caused a big upheaval at the Southern Seas Hotel that night and killed the vice captain of the Hu family’s bodyguard team, am I right?”

The balding old man said, his eyes staring at Lu Yu with some incredulity.

When he sensed the fear emanating from the balding old man, Lu Yu asked with a faint smile, “Why? Mr. Shopkeeper, don’t tell me you’re scared? Didn’t you say that as long as I dare to produce the goods, you have the guts to accept them?”

As Lu Yu said this, he gave a glance at the balding old man with an ambiguous expression.

After hearing Lu Yu’s words, the balding old man quickly came back to his senses. He slowly let out a sigh of relief and replied slowly, “Sir, you have misunderstood me. The old man here is just surprised at your ability. I am not intimidated by the fact that these things belonged to the Hu family.”

“Although the Hu family is powerful, we at Saint’s Presence Pawnshop are not afraid of what this Hu family will do to us!”

After the balding old man finished speaking, he took out some instruments from a small cabinet on the side and conducted some tests on the spiritual energy ores that Lu Yu took out.

After checking a few samples and confirming that they were indeed spiritual energy ores, the balding old man asked Lu Yu, “Sir, these spiritual energy ores here. How many do you have in all? Bring all of them out!”

As soon as the balding old man finished speaking, Lu Yu immediately retrieved the 20 boxes filled with spiritual energy ores from his interspatial ring.

Looking at the 20 boxes that Lu Yu brought out, the balding old man was obviously mentally prepared beforehand as he did not appear as shocked as he was earlier.

After examining each of the 20 boxes, the balding old man turned to Lu Yu and said, “Sir, after taking stock, these spiritual energy ores you took out are all very pure spiritual energy ores, and they totaled four tons.”

“We, the Saint’s Presence Pawnshop, can offer 40 million federal dollars to acquire these spiritual energy ores!”

Lu Yu nodded slowly when he heard the old man. “Let’s stick to that price. Now, have a look at these A-class weapons then!”

Seeing that Lu Yu agreed to the price he offered, the balding old man was also slightly relieved.

In fact, going by the normal price, one would need to pay about 15 million before he could acquire one ton of such pure spiritual energy ores.

However, these Hu family’s spiritual energy ores had been embossed with a special logo on them that indicated they were the Hu family’s property. Therefore, even if the auction arm of the Saint’s Presence Pawnshop wanted to sell off the loot through their own channels, it would take quite a lot of effort.

Having confirmed the purchase price of the spiritual energy ores, the balding old man turned around and surveyed the A-class weapons.

After some testing with instruments, the balding old man once again said to Lu

Yu, “Sir, there are a total of 7 A-class weapons. The integrity of each piece is above 90%. For those few pieces in the sword category, I can offer you a price of 3 million for each piece.”

“As for these two sabers, this spear, and this long-handle ax, I can offer 5 million each.”

After hearing the prices given by the balding old man, Lu Yu did not feel a bit surprised.

After all, most of the cultivators in the Federation today prefer to use swords. Therefore, although A-class sword weapons were worth some money, they were not as valuable as some other weapons.

“Fine. We’ll go with that price. Just transfer the money to this account.”

As Lu Yu spoke, he tossed out a piece of paper that had already been prepared in advance from the folds of his clothes. On it was written the account number of an anonymous bank account.

Seeing this, the balding old man took the piece of paper and transferred the full sum to the account indicated on it.

After a while, the balding old man returned the piece of paper to Lu Yu.

“Sir, you can check it. A total of 69 million federal dollars have been transferred in full.”

Taking the piece of paper back from the balding old man’s hand, Lu Yu nodded. The phone in his coat vibrated at this moment.

When he took out the phone, he saw a message alerting him that 69 million federal dollars had been credited.

“I have received the money. It has been a pleasure to do business with your Saint’s Presence Pawnshop. I will take my leave now.”

After Lu Yu finished speaking, he got up and cupped his hands in thanks at the balding old man. Following that, he turned around and walked out of the room.

As he watched Lu Yu’s departing figure, the balding old man did not get up to see him off.

He still had to find a way to dump these things he had collected from Lu Yu’s hands.

As for how Lu Yu was leaving his Saint’s Presence Pawnshop, he did not need to consider this at all.

For someone who was believed to be a Grade 5 War General cultivator, those courtyard walls which were not that high could never prevent Lu Yu from leaving!

Lu Yu leaped over the courtyard wall with a body that was as light as a swallow. He landed steadily on the street outside the Saint’s Presence Pawnshop.

After surveying the surrounding area and ascertaining that there was no one in the vicinity, Lu Yu tapped his foot lightly and his figure disappeared into the streets.

Following his previous routine, Lu Yu made several detours before locating a place to shed his disguise. After that, he went all the way back to his home.

Just as he reached the door of his house, Lu Yu ran into the two siblings Lu Shan and Lu Shui who just returned from school.

When the two siblings saw Lu Yu, they immediately skipped up to him.

Seeing his son and daughter, Lu Yu smiled faintly and ruffled the hair on both their heads..
