204 Old Master Cui’s Backing
“Thirty years ago, there was no ghost market in Han City. One day, a pirate in distress brought a large box of treasures to Han City and started a ghost market at the foot of Huang City.”
“Because the quality of his treasures is too good. More and more people gathered in Huang City, and a ghost market gradually formed.”
“In order to thank this pirate, everyone who hangs around the ghost market calls him ‘Ghost King’ and never competes with the Ghost King for treasures. Some stall owners can’t wait to give the entire stall to him just to gain the Ghost King’s favor.”
“Later on, it was said that the Ghost King’s original name was Rakshasa. As time passed, everyone started calling him that.”
Jiang Yi explained in detail, but Gu Man frowned.
“The Ghost Market is not a place to talk about friendship,” Gu Man said slowly. “I think those who dared to snatch the treasure from the Ghost King disappeared in the end, right?”
“Little girl, what do you know?! Is this something you should say?!”
The stone gambling vendor quickly shouted and intended to snatch the stone from Gu Man’s hand. Gu Man dodged easily and the vendor almost fell flat on his face.
The stall owner patted his butt and got up from the ground. The first thing he did was apologize to the Ghost King. “Ghost King, this little girl doesn’t know the rules. It’s not that I don’t want to give you this stone. I-I really have no choice!”
“Ghost King, I’ve been conscientious for so many years. Please forgive me this time. I beg you…”
As the stall owner spoke, he almost knelt down to the Ghost King.
Ghost King Rakshasa snorted. “This girl doesn’t know the rules, so I came to teach her the rules.”
“Everything in the Ghost Market belongs to the highest bidder. I’ll offer 10 million. As long as you can be higher than me, I’m willing to let you have this stone.”
“Fifteen million,” Gu Man said lightly, full of confidence.
The aura emitted by the stone in her arms was extremely rare even in her previous life! Gu Man was confident that this stone would be worth at least a hundred million!
As soon as Gu Man said this, the Ghost King’s face turned cold.
Very good. It had been a long time since anyone dared to talk to him like this. He wanted to see how much money a little girl could have!
“Thirty million.”
After the Ghost King finished speaking, Gu Man’s expression froze.
Thirty million was all she had!
Should she borrow some from Xiang Yin? Gu Man subconsciously thought of Xiang Yin. Even she did not know why.
However, the situation in front of her did not allow Gu Man to hesitate. Just as Gu Man was calculating how much the house in her hand could be exchanged for, an extremely familiar voice sounded. “50 million!”
It was Old Master Cui!
Gu Man looked at Old Master Cui gratefully. Old Master Cui went forward and patted Gu Man’s hand. “Gu Man, we meet again.”
“Old Master Cui.”
Gu Man greeted him and her gaze landed on the middle-aged man behind Old Master Cui.
Old Master Cui pulled Gu Man over and shielded her behind him, staring at the Ghost King with a burning gaze.
The Ghost King looked at Old Master Cui and then at Gu Man. He smiled and said, “Old Master Cui, how have you been? What does this girl have to do with you?”
“Luosha, just treat her as my biological granddaughter. How can I give away what my granddaughter likes?”
“Hmph, are you going to fight me to the end?” The Ghost King said coldly in dissatisfaction. “This is the Ghost Market. Even you have to follow the rules!”
“The highest bidder wins. You said it yourself.” Old Master Cui said leisurely.
“I’m an old man. I don’t have any other abilities, but I’ve never been afraid to compete with money!”
With that, Old Master Cui slammed the walking stick in his hand on the ground, emitting a terrifying aura.
Indeed, although the ghost market was a place that no one dared to control, if the Cui Family insisted on causing trouble for the ghost market, the ghost market would not be able to escape.
Compared to the rich Cui Family, the ghost market was still not enough.
Under the sunglasses, Rakshasa narrowed his eyes and calculated again and again.
“Old Master Cui, I’ll give you face this time.”
With that, Ghost King Rakshasa turned around and disappeared into the night.
At Old Master Cui’s side, Cui Hong finally had a chance to speak. “Father, is this the girl you’ve been talking about?”
