Earthling in Uncharted Dimensions

Chapter 317: Hunt Family (1)

*murmuring*

As soon as the carriage applied breaks and halted near Lee, the surroundings had become noisy. Many carts which were supposed to pass through there stopped in their tracks and held their position.

[Someone has their eyes on your possession.]

It was obvious why the carriage had halted. If not for the beasts, then the driver might have accidentally applied the breaks!

A man in his late thirties jumped out of the driver's spot. He had a typical chauffeur attire and this indicated that the one inside the carriage must be a big shot.

As the man reached for the handle of the carriage, Lee Shen spoke-

"You dont need to open the carriage if you are here for my beasts."

Saying this, Lee climbed on top of Aero.

Lee Shen's words stunned the carriage driver and froze. He hesitated to open the door for a second and almost retracted his hands when the door was opened from the inside.

The chauffeur regained his senses and quickly pulled opened the door wide. From it, a gorgeous woman stepped out. Following her, a handsome young man came out.

[The usual.]

Just like how decorated the carriage was, the man and the woman were decorated lavishly. The female who had an alluring figure wore some really expensive jewellery and her dress was unfitting to the status of a commoner. The man brimming with arrogance and pride had a moustache which was only meant to convey that this boy is mature.

The glossiness of the red fabric from which the man's outfit was fashioned had a costly texture. Perhaps it is the quality of these clothes that made him to repulsive to Lee's normal adventurer outfit.

When the chauffeur saw that Lee was yet to take off and flee which would directly embarrass them, he stepped forward and spoke-

"Since you are new here, you may be unfamiliar with the most prestigious Hunt family.

For generations, the Hunt household had controlled the economy of the island and is powerful and rich. There is nothing the household could not get their hands on."

Lee listened to the words silently and then turned to Aero and patted his neck. It indicated to take off and the beast stretched his wings.

Then from nowhere, a fireball came flying at Lee. It was powerful and had an awful lot of explosiveness embedded in it.

But Pyro swung his tail and swatted the fireball like nothing. It blasted in mid-air and drew a vibrant red arc before touching down.

Lee turned to the middle-aged man who now had a wand in his hand. It was a little longer than 12 inches and looked simple at a glance.

"How dare you turn your back on the young master and mistress of the Hunt family?!"

The chauffeur shouted and the voice stunned the audience. But what surprised them all was Pyro's skin brightening with a red hue. Within seconds, the skin heated up and even people standing far from the beast could feel the warmth brushing their face.

This alerted the chauffeur and he unconsciously took a step back. But amassing courage, he raised his wand.

"If I give permission, you and your prestigious master and mistress would become a fistful of ashes.

You are free to take initiative."

Lee spoke after asking Pyro to stand down. His words conveyed that he was not bluffing and the beast could reduce them to ashes.

*clapping*

The young man with the thin moustache clapped with a proud smirk. He had an arrogant demeanour that was not veiled at all.

"Name the price for the fire beast."

The young man displayed bravery while asking Lee Shen the price. The surroundings became bustling upon witnessing this action.

"Name your price and I, the young master of the Hunt family, would buy it."

While spewing the words, the young man took his time scanning Pyro from head to tail. His eyes then moved on to Cryo who was standing next to Aero.

Like a rich man eyeing artefacts and trinkets, his sight fell on Zena who was visibly repelled by this man's presence.

"How much can you give?"

Lee Shen decided to mess with this man to evaluate the depth of his money reserve. Hearing Lee Shen's words, his face exhibited a grin as a leather pouch appeared in his open palm.

[Nice spatial ring.]

When Lee saw the money pouch appearing, D saw the beautiful spatial ring marked with intricate craftworks. D deduced that the material from which the ring is fashioned is at least high-quality Mythril.

"I will give you 200 silver to leave the beast here and get lost. If you now down to me, I shall give you an extra 100 silver."

Shaking the pouch, the young man spoke with pride but his words made Lee Shen's face to darken.

'Is this guy for real?'

[Disrespectful and arrogant.]

The might of Draconic Wyverns had spread across the island. Many were pondering how much each beast might cost. Those who had the desire to strike a trade with Lee had to reevaluate their conclusions every time they saw the beast walked down the lane.

Seeing Lee Shen's deadpan expression, the young man's smirk dulled down. The young lady took a moment to notice this change and shuttled her eyes back to the beasts.

Lee Shen shook his head with a funny smile on his face. He raised his hand and a gold coin appeared in his palm.

*gasps*

Lee looked around and deduced that a gold coin was probably a rare thing to see. Thus he kept his left hand raised as the Mana levitated the coin in the air his palm.

"Kings and nobles found my beasts worthy beyond gold. And here we have a stupid man with only silver coins."

The next second, Lee Shen's emotions took over for a second and his left hand drew an arc in the air. The coin in his hand dashed at the young man like an angry bull.

*swish*
