The Prince Who Was Raised in Hell

Chapter 45

Morine found out from the shopkeeper that Evergreen Town expanded multiple times in the recent decades.

They were in the recently developed new town, and the original old town was just next to it, a wall separating the old town and the new town.

After the new town was built, many residences and families moved over gradually.

Nonetheless, the old town was not abandoned just because of that.

The homeless and unemployed used it as a shelter, and the unscrupulous traders also set their establishments there.

Illegal transactions were also conducted in the old town as no one was there to supervise them.

Thus, the old town slowly became a very messy place.

Was that place disorderly?

Not really.

After all, everyone had a set of established guidelines in that place.

Was that place a prosperous and peaceful place, where everyone respected each other?

Well, one would say they were blind if they described the old town that way.

After all, there would be unclaimed corpses in the old town’s ruins every day.

Moreover, all kinds of murder, robbery, and theft might happen at any time.

The place the shopkeeper mentioned Morine could purchase cheap blood essence was precisely at the old town’s ruins.

“The old town’s ruins might not be as safe as the new town, but don’t fret.

As long as you don’t walk in secluded alleys, nothing will happen to you.

After all, many business transactions are held there.

If they can’t guarantee safety, no one will be willing to go over.

If someone blocks their way of earning a profit, others will naturally take action and get rid of those unruly rascals.” The shopkeeper repeatedly vowed on the safety of the old town.

Seeing how Morine was still in doubt, the owner bit his lip.

Then, as if he decided on something important, he took out an item from his sleeve and quickly showed it to Moses.

After that, he hurriedly hid it back in his sleeve.

The shopkeeper’s movement might be fast for ordinary people, but for a warrior like Steven, the shopkeeper’s action was as slow as a snail.

At a glance, Morine could see that it was a bottle of blood essence, and its color was almost the same as the ones in the Oceans Chamber of Commerce.

He could feel that the blood essence’s vigor in this bottle was not as great as those sold in the Oceans Chamber of Commerce.

Then, the shopkeeper whispered, “You can still inquire about the old town’s situation from other people.

That’s fine.

To be frank, I’m only helping them find customers and get some commissions in return.

However, word-of-mouth and return customers are most important in this kind of matter.

Isn’t it?”

“Give me an address,” Morine replied calmly.

The shopkeeper was instantly thrilled and told Morine the old town’s address.

However, he was worried that Morine might not be able to remember it, so he once again whispered and emphasized twice, “That place is called St.

Jade Chamber.

On the surface, it looks like a place for martial artists to practice.

However, once you enter, you just need to tell the person who greeted you that Frederick introduced you, and he will know what to do.”

Morine nodded.

“Hmm.

Alright, I got it.

Since you’re so enthusiastic, and I indeed have the needs too, I’ll visit the place later.

But, I don’t have much money on me now.

This meal is costly.

How about this, why don’t you treat me to this meal?”

“You…” The shopkeeper did not expect that Morine was so shameless and suggested such a ridiculous request.

Moreover, Morine appeared so serious about it too.

In an instant, the shopkeeper was at a loss for words.

Morine burst out into laughter.

“I’m just joking.

Do I look like I’m a freeloader? How about five hundred fedulings?”

The shopkeeper‘s face was pale.

The delicate cuisine of Morine was expensive.

Even the cost of the monster meat was about 800 fedulings, and that was only the material cost.

What about the chef’s labor cost and the charges incurred from the wear and tear of the cutting tools?

After a long pause, the shopkeeper finally answered through gritted teeth, “One thousand two.”

“Six hundred.” Morine’s expression was unchanged.

“One thousand one.”

“Seven hundred.”

“One thousand.”

“Eight hundred.”

“Nine hundred!” Têxt belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

“Great! Nine hundred it is.

You’re an amazing person!” Morine slapped the table, which shook the shopkeeper.

When the shopkeeper realized what happened, he smiled bitterly.

He ran this business for half of his life, yet a teenager trolled him.

As Morine took out his money, he comforted the shopkeeper, “Well, you said it yourself that one shouldn’t offend a warrior.

Besides, once I purchase the blood essence and level up, I’ll remember your good deeds.

Don’t just focus on the money.

There are other aspects that you can earn too.”

His words implied that even though he gave the shopkeeper 300 fedulings lesser, he thought of the shopkeeper’s good.

The shopkeeper was annoyed as he met a warrior like Moses.

Nevertheless, he could only admit defeat.

However, at the thought of the commissions that he would be getting from the blood essence, the shopkeeper was not as miserable anymore.

Thus, the initially 1200 fedulings meal ended up being 900 fedulings only.

Morine happily brought the remaining 300 fedulings and spent it all on inscription materials before heading home.

When he finally finished his errands and returned to the Lawrence Manor, it was already afternoon.

When he was not far away from his courtyard, Morine heard a ruckus, and it was coming from his place.

He frowned slightly and hurriedly walked over.

Before entering the courtyard, Morine heard crackling and rattling sounds from broken things as well as people’s curses.

“Smash them! Smash everything!”

“Hezti, that jerk! He’s getting out of hand!”

“Did he honestly think he’s amazing just because Chief James did not punish him last time?”

“Humph! He’s just a stray dog that ran into our Lawrence family.

He‘s completely worthless, yet he dared to hit our family! We must teach him a lesson!”

“Smash everything!”

When Morine strode into the yard, he was greeted with a loud bang.

A cabinet happened to crash in front of him, and it was broken to pieces.

At this moment, about five Lawrence family members were standing there.

These people appeared proud.

It was as if they overthrew something impressive.

However, when they saw Morine suddenly appear, their expressions instantly changed.

Their gaze was filled with surprise, anger, guilt, and others as they looked at Moses.

Morine ignored them, and he stood at the entrance as he swept his gaze across the place.

The initially clean yard was not messy, the destroyed table and chairs were on the floor, and even the door to the house was broken, leaving only half of it hanging there.

Although Morine was yet to enter the house, he could imagine what the situation was inside.

Seeing that Morine was silent, the Lawrence family members glanced at each other.

Then, one of them walked out and sneered, “Hezti! We’ve smashed these things.

What do you have to say?”

Morine hugged his elbows, and he looked as if he was staring at an idiot as he answered, “You’re destroying your own family’s belongings.

What am I supposed to say?”

“We smashed… What..?” Before he could finish his sentence, the man instantly realized what was going on.

He opened his mouth wide and was stunned.

Not only him, but the rest of them also noticed what happened.

In an instant, the muscles on their cheeks all twitched.

They appeared as if they just ate a delightful meal, and someone suddenly told them that their meal was made from manure.
