Chapter 761: Chapter 761: Crappy Rules_1 Chapter 761: Chapter 761: Crappy Rules_1 “I…”
Harvey Martin’s face was full of guilt.
He, usually so carefree, was like a child who had made a mistake.
At a loss for what to do.
He had been holding it so steadily.
But…
How did the bracelet fall?
Garrick Reed was even more incensed, shaking with fury!
This bracelet had cost her a large sum of money to acquire!
Just by wearing it for a month, it could send Harvey Martin to the hospital!
But it had been less than half a day, and it had already broken?
Millions!
That kind of item, ordinary people wouldn’t dare to sell!
“Huff!”
She took a deep breath and glared at Harvey Martin with a face full of resentnt.
She had barely exerted any force, so why did the bracelet fall off?
It seed a little too strange.
What they didn’t know was that the bracelet had been knocked off.
Julius Reed, while they were being modest with each other, had picked a grass seed from the weeds beside him and flicked it!
It hit the bracelet.
No matter how you put it, he had after all made Harvey Martin’s acquaintance.
In the three years he had lost his mory, he had been in constant company with Quella Radcliffe.
It allowed him to slowly regain so normal human emotions.
The blood in his bones, cold to the extre, was also gradually warming.
“You…
you’re really making furious!” Garrick Reed glared at Harvey Martin through gritted teeth.
“Sorry!
I really didn’t know…
my apologies, Garrick…”
Like a child who had done sothing wrong, Harvey Martin kept apologizing.
“The boat is here!”
Just then, soone shouted excitedly.
The entire ferry port boiled over!
“The people from dicine King Valley are here!”
They all stood up from their chairs, excitedly watching the boat that was slowly making its way across the river.
ƝονǤᴑ.ƈο
An afternoon of waiting, of anticipation.
Finally paid off!
“Garrick, stop arguing.”
Alaric Moore looked toward the river, his eyes too flashing with a ripple.
That was the dicine King Valley!
His purpose for this trip was to seek dicine!
But his eyes suddenly swept over Julius Reed, a smile forming at the corner of his mouth.
After about five minutes.
The boat from dicine King Valley finally lazily arrived at the ferry port.
At the bow.
A disciple of the dicine King Valley, wearing a long robe and appearing as though he had just woken up, ca down lazily.
Yawning.
“Greetings to the Divine Doctor!”
The wealthy rchants at the ferry port neatly knelt on the ground.
Even Alaric Moore hurried over and knelt down with them.
At the ferry port, only Julius Reed and the other two stood.
“What’s the matter with you?”
The disciple from the dicine King Valley spotted the three standing out imdiately.
Too conspicuous!
While everyone else was kneeling, they three showed no reaction at all.
“Does the dicine King Valley have this rule?”
Julius Reed turned around and looked at Karen.
“There wasn’t one when I left, but the wealthy rchants kneel as an unwritten rule to express their respect,” Karen explained quietly.
“Unwritten rules, what a load of crap!” Julius Reed snorted lightly and raised his head, looking at the disciple from the dicine King Valley: “Is there a problem?”
“Wow!
Where did you co from?” The disciple from the dicine King Valley frowned and walked over to ask: “Are you blind, can’t you see everyone else kneeling?”
“Why should we kneel?”
Julius Reed looked directly into the eyes of the dicine King Valley disciple: “Is there a rule?
If there is, spell it out.
I’d like to see just how arrogant your dicine King Valley is!”
“You…”
The disciple from the dicine King Valley pointed at Julius Reed, too angry to speak.
Obviously, there was no such rule.
But it was an unwritten rule!
For so many years, it didn’t matter if you were the wealthiest man, when you ca to dicine King Valley, you had to kneel.
That was called respect.
“`
They were just low-ranking outer disciples, otherwise who would bother with such a thankless job?
Although they could collect a hefty sum each ti, compared to those who stayed within the valley,
it was rely a drop in the bucket!
Not even enough to be considered pocket change!
Being revered by everyone each day was their greatest sense of achievent.
There was no choice.
Within dicine King Valley, they were of low status.
Of course, they had to recoup their losses from these wealthy rchants.
“Speak up!
Without that, what right do you have to make us kneel?”
Julius Reed’s eyes were like knives, startling the Disciple of dicine King Valley.
“Alright!
I’ll rember this!”
The Disciple of dicine King Valley said viciously before turning around and leaving.
Want to cross over?
Even though he was just a ssenger, the man on the spot is the man in command!
Just you wait!
“Rise!”
He shouted, clearly not pleased.
“Thank you, Divine Doctor!”
At the ferry crossing.
The rchants, worth billions, were bowing and scraping to the ssenger like grandsons.
“The usual rules!
The old, weak, sick, and disabled first!
The young and strong can wait at the back!”
The Disciple of dicine King Valley finished speaking, boarded the boat, and pulled over a rope.
The other end of the rope was on the opposite bank of the river.
Though it was several hundred ters long, it was very sturdy.
It was used several tis a year.
Afterward, he took a pile of lifebuoys from the boat.
The lifebuoys varied in size and quality.
So of them even had simple propulsion devices attached.
“Thank you, Divine Doctor, may the Divine Doctor live forever!”
An elderly man, followed by his bodyguards, approached the Disciple of dicine King Valley and took out a red envelope.
“Hargrove Willson.”
After the elderly man spoke, the Disciple of dicine King Valley opened the red envelope in front of him and took out a laptop.
He began to check.
Upon seeing the amount on the card, he smiled contentedly.
“Please proceed!
The dicine God is waiting for you inside!”
“Thank you!”
The elderly man bowed deeply, took the lifebuoy that was handed to him by the Disciple of dicine King Valley, and took off his clothes,
revealing an underneath swimsuit and swimming trunks.
He ca prepared.
Clutching the lifebuoy, he followed the rope down into the river.
The simple propulsion device on the lifebuoy stirred up splashes of water, indeed moving faster than swimming by oneself or pulling oneself along with the rope.
Those bodyguards put the old man’s clothes into watertight bags and jumped into the river one by one,
following behind the elderly man.
“Beatrice Leocadia.”
A middle-aged man also approached and handed over a red envelope.
However, after checking, the smile on the face of the Disciple of dicine King Valley clearly diminished.
“Go on!”
Without even uttering common courtesy, he directly threw a regular lifebuoy over.
Many had envy in their eyes.
This made Julius Reed sowhat perplexed.
Are there worse things than ordinary lifebuoys?
Very soon.
His thought was confird.
Apparently dissatisfied with the red envelope, a Disciple of Valley of the dicine God threw over a broken lifebuoy.
It looked decades old.
Barely usable, but definitely requiring a lot of effort.
“What…
what are the prices for these?”
Julius Reed asked out loud.
“Ten years ago, that lifebuoy for the old man was eighty million!
An ordinary one, thirty million!
See that broken one?
Still, it costs five million!”
Karen chuckled, revealing a rchant’s sly smile, “Ten years have gone by, prices have surely gone up.”
While they were chatting, people had steadily gone into the water one after another.
Figures dotted the river’s surface, like boiling dumplings.
Eventually, Alaric Moore led Garrick Reed and Harvey Martin forward.
Only these two groups and Julius Reed remained at the crossing.
Alaric Moore handed over a red envelope, seemingly saying sothing.
The Disciple’s eyes lit up, giving Julius Reed and his two companions a glance, the corners of his mouth curling into a smile.
After throwing three ordinary lifebuoys, the Disciple of dicine King Valley stood up, slapped his buttocks, and said, “We’re out of lifebuoys now, co back next year!”
