Apocalypse Gachapon

Chapter 1353: Then we can only fight (1)

Haigou looked furious, but he was delighted deep down.

Two thousand diamond coins were in his pocket. Even if he deducted the amount he had to give the city guards, he would have 1500 left. This money was similar to many years of income.

He didn’t expect to earn such a huge sum today.

Haigou imagined that he could execute all his plans and purchase precious materials with this money. Once his experiments succeeded, he could craft better devices and sell them for higher prices.

He would get more famous, and it would form a good cycle, earn money, new product, earn money, new product…

A bright future waved at him.

Oh, right, he was going to hire more bodyguards. The few of them were only slightly stronger than Yindi’s squad. The thing happened, and they couldn’t kill Yindi’s squad quickly; if not, people would suspect. Then, he had to worry about them taking revenge, so he needed more people.

Haigou thought about it and noticed that the situation had quietened down. He noticed a person blocking the entrance, and beside him was a female member of Yindi’s squad.

No wonder they had caught one less member.

“Also her, she is with them!” Haigou walked quickly to the person in charge of the city guards and pointed at Yaqin.
The city guards were similar to the police but were responsible to the city committee members. Not only were they in charge of law and order, they were in charge of city protection and tax collection. They were very powerful.

Although the store wasn’t on the most prosperous street in the city, it was far more advanced than the others. Being in charge of the city guards meant that the person in charge had a certain status.

Hearing Haigou shout, he frowned. He was polite because Haigou was an artisan. His status was similar to that of a noble, so he had to give him face. But this didn’t mean he needed to do so. Haigou ordered him around, which made him feel uncomfortable.

Actually, Haigou was anxious when he saw Yaqin. He was afraid that accidents would happen and knew he had to reward this city guard.

“Ye…”

Yindi and the others saw Ye Zhongming and were delighted. However, considering they did not have any evidence, Ye Zhongming’s arrival was also useless. He might even lose his own fruits. They were very anxious.

Seeing the few honest explorers bruised up and glancing at him to leave, he felt warm. Although this was not the apocalypse, it was a cruel, chaotic world. Humans weren’t at the top of the food chain and still had to fight for survival. It was not easy for them to maintain such a heart.

Ye Zhongming waved. His rule of Cloud Peak for a few years gave him an unstoppable aura.

“Who are you, you…”

Haigou saw a stranger and didn’t care about him. He cursed at him, but the guards interrupted him.

The person in charge squinted his blue eyes, which were the same color as his hair, and sized Ye Zhongming up.

He saw that this was an outsider.

In the history of this land, some outsiders would appear. At a certain period, the number of outsiders would increase.

A bunch of these people would die, but some of them would leave their names.

There were some good ones, but most were bad.

These outsiders were very strong and had once caused chaos in the territory. They caused a calamity, and it was terrifying.

These were history and happened a long time ago. Some of the records were top secret. If not for this guard captain having some identity, he wouldn’t have known all this.

Now that he saw an outsider, he was wary.

Moreover, Ye Zhongming’s aura pressured him.

This was not a person that he could deal with easily.

“Who are you? Where did you come from?”

The person in charge looked at Ye Zhongming and the blade hanging on his leg.

Ye Zhongming glanced and said, “I gave Yindi these fruits to sell.”

One sentence changed the situation.

The reason why Haigou could blame Yindi and his team was because the fruits belonged to them. They used Haigou’s equipment and didn’t give him his cut.

Yindi and the others were afraid of dragging Ye Zhongming in and were also furious that Haigou blamed them even after selling them a faulty tube, so they didn’t explain. Of course, the guards and Haigou didn’t give them a chance.

That allowed Haigou to swallow the fortune.

But things were different. Ye Zhongming’s words changed the ownership of the fruits. Then what was the cut about? If the fruits didn’t belong to Yindi, then they didn’t hide them from Haigou. So it was wrong for him to take the money.

Haigou didn’t panic and laughed coldly, “How do you prove it?”

Ye Zhongming looked at the person in charge and then turned to Haigou, “Didn’t you say that they were weak, so how could they get so many fruits? You are right, so the fruits are mine.”

“They are weak and used my tube; that made them strong!” Haigou opposed.

“You are referring to these?” The poor-quality tubes appeared on the ground.

“I don’t know how you are confident enough to lie with your eyes open. But don’t you think that people can see if they are good or bad?”

Ye Zhongming was a smith, so after seeing Yindi’s battle, he became interested in these tubes. When hunting the fruits, he told the ice birds to pick them up so he could study them.

He was unsure if only Haigou could craft this, and he didn’t know if others could see that they were of low quality.

He was gambling that the artisan Yindi could find wasn’t good. Truth proved that Haigou wasn’t very outstanding.

Ye Zhongming’s words caused his expression to change. Money blinded him and he forgot that since YIndi was alive, they would bring the equipment back.

Each artisan would leave their mark or name on the equipment they crafted.

His was no exception!
