"You think you can get rid of me with just a blue crystal? There's no such thing as a free lunch." The shifty-eyed man raised an eyebrow and then sneered.

"If you want to let this matter drop, you have to pay me at least 100,000, oh no, 200,000, at least 200,000, not a penny less."

Faced with the man's unreasonable demands, the stall owner's eyes gradually turned cold; this request was undoubtedly going to cost him his life.

The blue crystal comes from the river in Shimizu City. Its only function is to dissipate moisture, keeping the room humid and dust-removing. At most, it costs only around five or six thousand yuan.

This man asked for a full 200,000 right off the bat. Does he think his money grows on trees?

His monthly profit is only a few hundred thousand. If he really does what this man wants, he will not only lose his monthly profit, but he will even have to pay out of pocket.

The stall owner gritted his teeth, glaring angrily at the man, and shouted, "Don't go too far! I've never sold counterfeit goods here. I only gave you a blue crystal as compensation because I felt sorry for you. Don't push your luck!"

The shifty-eyed man remained calm upon hearing this, as if he had anticipated the stall owner's reaction. He then raised his voice a few decibels and shouted, "Everyone, come and see! This swindler is desperate! I haven't even said anything yet, and he's already threatening me. Is he going to get someone to beat me up later?"

The stall owner's face was ashen, and he almost spat out a mouthful of blood. "When did I threaten you?"

This time, he truly witnessed how difficult it was to deal with local thugs and ruffians. These people didn't dare to show their faces when the Black Dragon Society was still around, but now that the Black Dragon Society has disbanded, they can really use any trick they want.

Many onlookers in the crowd outside started shouting, probably shills hired by the man. Those who didn't know the situation couldn't help but feel indignant on the man's behalf when they heard these shills saying this.

When people think of businessmen, their first impression is that all businessmen are unscrupulous, especially those doing business on Bailu Street, who are all incredibly wealthy and envied by others. Now that they have a chance to swindle these businessmen, they are secretly delighted and waiting to see the show.

The stall owner's expression changed repeatedly, but he couldn't come up with a solution. However, he knew he couldn't compromise today, otherwise, if he did, he would be extorted again in the future.

After a moment's thought, the stall owner began to pack up, intending to close the stall early and get rid of the man's entanglement.

The man was displeased when he saw the stall owner's actions. "If you close up shop, where am I supposed to go to scam people?"

So he grabbed the stall owner's arm, and his hoarse voice rang out again.

"Hey everyone, come quick! The shady merchant is about to run away. This means he has something to hide."

"Judging from his appearance, he must have cheated a lot of people in the past. Maybe all of you here have been cheated by him. I suggest that the stall owner compensate each of you with a blue crystal, what do you think?"

Upon hearing that there was a bargain to be made, the crowd began to have wicked ideas and started hurling insults at the stall owner.

Previously, it wasn't their business, so they all just watched with a detached attitude. But now it's different. If what this man said is true, everyone can earn a blue crystal. Why not take it? Anyway, these unscrupulous merchants must have ripped off a lot of money from them before. What's wrong with getting some interest back first?

When the man shouted, the stall owner already sensed something was wrong; the gazes of the people around him began to grow increasingly intense.

The stall owner's heart skipped a beat. If it were just this man and his accomplices, they might not have dared to make a move in the street. But now he was throwing out benefits, using unfounded advantages to lure these onlookers into joining the condemnation.

No one knows the truth. People just parrot what others say. Once they say it enough, the lie becomes the truth. When those people received the benefits the man offered, they all started calling him a "shady businessman." Even if there were some people among them who wanted to uphold justice, they didn't dare to say much after seeing the trend, lest they get burned.

The stall owner's face was as black as the bottom of a pot. Now that mud had fallen into his pants, even if it wasn't excrement, it would still look like excrement.

As the stall owner was worrying that things were unlikely to end well, several sharp shouts came from afar.

"Make way, make way, the law enforcement team is handling a case, all bystanders please move aside."

Several monks dressed in law enforcement uniforms walked over, led by a short young girl.

"Enforcement team is handling a case, all bystanders please move aside!"

The group repeated themselves, and the nearby crowd immediately scattered.

Despite nearly half of these people being cultivators, they still acted like mice before a cat when they saw the enforcement team.

The enforcement team is like a police officer in the mortal world among cultivators, specifically responsible for matters related to cultivators. This incident has escalated to a certain extent, attracting the attention of the enforcement team.

Upon seeing the enforcement team arrive, the onlookers immediately lost their composure. In this day and age, which cultivator hasn't committed some offenses? They would rather hide than approach the enforcement team and make trouble for themselves.

It has to be said that under Sun Xiaoman's management, the enforcement team has gained considerable prestige over the years. Just hearing their names is enough to make these cultivators tremble.

"what happened?"

Sun Xiaoman stepped forward and asked, her attitude not very friendly.

She's been running into all sorts of messy things lately, which has been giving her a real headache.

Sometimes she would think that if all those bad guys could line up and come to her, she could knock them all out with one blow and never have to go through these awful things again.

When the stall owner saw the enforcement team arrive, he was overjoyed, as if he had seen his own father, and immediately told them everything that had just happened.

The enforcement team doesn't have a good reputation among cultivators. After all, most cultivators have committed some offenses, so naturally they wouldn't have a good attitude towards the enforcement team.

But in the eyes of ordinary people, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to call the law enforcement team saviors of the people.

Since the revival of spiritual energy, many cultivators have taken advantage of their high cultivation levels to harm ordinary people. The law enforcement team was established to target these evildoers.

Many of the people around were unaware of Sun Xiaoman's identity, but seeing the other team members treating her with utmost respect, they assumed she was of high status.

Those who knew Sun Xiaoman's identity all kept silent, afraid of attracting the attention of law enforcement.

Coincidentally, the shifty-eyed man was also one of the people who knew Sun Xiaoman's identity.

These fraudsters are most afraid of messing with the wrong people, and law enforcement officers are at the top of the list of those people they shouldn't mess with.

After learning what had happened, Sun Xiaoman glanced at the shifty-eyed man and immediately snorted coldly.

"Hmph, he doesn't look like a good person at all. Guards, drag him away and take him away!"

The law enforcement officers exchanged glances, their eyes filled with helplessness.

My goodness, can't we at least come up with a more plausible reason?
