Chapter 467: Balkan Race

After the two reached an agreement, they both stood up with satisfied expressions. Although Jiu Shen felt a bit regretful that he couldn't kill this old man, he was still pleased with the exchange.

"It's a pleasure to do business with you, Corpse Lord. I won't stay here for long since I still have many things to do."

Corpse Lord let out a smile as he said. "I hope there would be more exchanges between us next time, Mr. Jiu Shen. The doors of my manor will always be open for you..."

Corpse Lord couldn't wait to drink the wines he got from Jiu Shen, so he didn't bother to make him stay for long. He was stuck at the early stage of the True God Realm. This batch of wine might help him reach the next stage!

Jiu Shen merely smiled at his words. He then left the manor under the guidance of Corpse Lord.

When the guards saw Jiu Shen being guided by the City Lord with a friendly smile, they became curious about this human's identity. The City Lord was known for his fearsome reputation and they couldn't believe that he was talking amicably with someone.

"You can visit here any time, Mr. Jiu Shen." Corpse Lord said while looking at Jiu Shen's face. Until now, he still couldn't discern the thoughts of this man. This was dangerous since they were now neighbors. However, he had to take this risk since the wine presented by the other party was too valuable for him.

Jiu Shen waved his hand without saying a word. He then left with calm and steady footsteps.

Corpse Lord stared at his figure, his thoughts unknown. When he could no longer see Jiu Shen's shadow, he glanced at the guards standing before him and said. "Don't block him the next time he comes here."

"Yes, City Lord!" The guards nodded their heads seriously.

The old man then went back to the manor...

***

Jiu Shen did not return to the camp immediately. That was because he received a new mission from the system.

Ding!

Mission Details: Search for a new location to build another branch store.

Mission Rewards: x3 Fruits of Cultivation

Jiu Shen smiled after reading the new prompt. He then used his spiritual perception to search for the best spot in Hard Rock City. After looking for a while, Jiu Shen selected an area near the city's main entrance.

The traffic there was great and the location was ideal for his new branch store.

"This place it is then!" He muttered before disappearing from his spot.

Jiu Shen arrived in front of an old building. This was a restaurant, but it only had a few customers.

Jiu Shen entered the building and because customers were rare in this place, he was immediately spotted by the owner. The owner was a demi-human with a boar's head. He looked shabby in his common-looking clothes. The interior of the building was unexpectedly clean. The furniture and ornaments inside looked aged, but still eye-catching. Overall, the restaurant was not too bad.

"Welcome! What would you like to order?" The boar-headed owner greeted Jiu Shen with a lifeless look.

Jiu Shen glanced calmly at the owner. He could sense the weak true essence coming from this guy. He was only at the Origin God Realm and it was quite surprising that he had survived long in this place with his strength. "I don't want to order anything, but I plan to buy this place. Give me a price." Jiu Shen stated with an overbearing tone.

The owner was a bit surprised when he heard Jiu Shen's words. 'Is this guy new here? Doesn't he know that this restaurant is under the protection of Boss Serek?' The owner thought to himself.

"This... Although I own this restaurant, I still have to talk with Boss Serek about this..." The owner felt a bit embarrassed as he said this. Boss Serek was connected to the City Lord, so he didn't dare go against this man.

Jiu Shen furrowed his eyebrows when he heard this. It looks like he found an unreliable owner. "Tell me where I can find this person." Jiu Shen uttered in a calm voice. He didn't want to waste any more time. He couldn't wait to get his hands on those three Fruits of Cultivation!

The owner felt a bit nervous when he saw the indifferent expression of the human before him. He seemed to not care about Boss Serek's reputation. Is he confident in himself or is he just a fool?

"Uh, I-" Before the owner could answer, he suddenly heard a loud series of footsteps outside the restaurant. From the vibration of the ground, there seemed to be more than a dozen individuals coming.

When he heard these familiar footsteps, the owner's expressions turned incredibly ugly.

"Someone is actually looking for me?" A loud and deep voice came from outside the restaurant. His voice carried a strong sense of suppression and power!

Jiu Shen smirked as he turned his head. "It looks like I don't have to waste my time looking for you..." Jiu Shen muttered while looking at the group who had entered the restaurant. This group was of the same race. They had thick and strong arms and tall muscular figures. These people only had one eye, the most distinctive trait about them.

These guys were from the Balkan Race. A race that is widely known for their inherent battle skills and ferocious personalities. Only a few dared to cause trouble for them...

The group of Balkans frowned when they saw the nonchalant smile of the small human before them.

The tallest and most muscular among the group stepped forward and walked towards Jiu Shen with a ferocious glint in his eyes. "I didn't think that a tiny little human like you would actually dare to act arrogantly in my presence." He released his peak stage Mystic God Realm aura to scare Jiu Shen.

However, the human remained unmoved as he stood there with the same indifferent smile.
