Beast Tamer: Awakening a Mythical Talent at the Beginning

Chapter 38 Let Me Show You What It Means to Bully Others With Power!

“Wait, I’m interested in this crystal core too.”

“Hey there, brother, how about you let me have this crystal core? I’ll offer two hundred thousand.”

Just as Bai Zian was about to make the deal with the stall owner, a voice came from behind him.

Bai Zian frowned slightly, a cold look flashing across his face.

He was finally about to acquire the crystal core of the Red Phoenix, but someone was trying to interfere.

How bold, daring to cut me off like that.

Bai Zian turned slightly to look in the direction of the voice.

It was then that Bai Zian saw the person who had called out.

A skinny man in his twenties, with a floating gait that immediately gave away his indulgence in excess.

However, despite his appearance, the man exuded the aura of an early-stage Black Iron Beast Tamer.

A mere Black Iron-level Beast Tamer at his age, clearly his talent wasn’t anything extraordinary.

But the fact that he chose to interrupt just as Bai Zian was about to close the deal was quite excessive.

“Friend, don’t you think you’re being a bit too much?”

Bai Zian said calmly while looking at the skinny Beast Tamer in front of him.

“Too much? I don’t think so. The owner hasn’t sold you the crystal core yet, so naturally, I have the right to buy it.”

“Besides, as a Beast Tamer, you wouldn’t be incapable of paying a mere two hundred thousand, right?”

“As the nephew of the mayor of Candlefire City, I care greatly about the residents’ well-being.”

“If you’re interested, I could even introduce you to a job to help you earn more money.”

The skinny Beast Tamer chuckled, feigning politeness as he spoke.

However, his eyes kept wandering toward Qiao Gubai, who was standing behind Bai Zian, clearly distracted.

Bai Zian noticed all of this.

At this point, Bai Zian fully understood.

This skinny Beast Master wasn’t really after the crystal core; he was more interested in Qiao Gubai.

That’s why he deliberately raised the price, hoping to get her attention.

It was such a childish tactic that Bai Zian couldn’t help but feel a bit speechless.

He never expected that something as trivial as romantic rivalry would involve him.

However, Bai Zian was beginning to get angry.

And when Bai Zian got angry, the consequences would be severe.

“You just said you’re the mayor’s nephew?”

Bai Zian’s eyes darkened as he looked at the skinny Beast Tamer.

Now that Bai Zian was angry, someone was going to pay the price.

But for that to happen, he needed to know the other person’s identity.

Otherwise, how would he even begin to exact his revenge?

Fortunately, the other man wasn’t very bright and had already revealed his identity earlier.

The nephew of Candlefire City’s mayor — no wonder he was so arrogant.

“That’s right. The mayor of Candlefire City is my uncle.”

“Of course, I’m not one to bully others with my status. We’ll compete fairly. As long as your bid is higher than mine, you can have the crystal core.”

The skinny Beast Tamer acted high and mighty, deliberately repeating his connection to the mayor in front of Qiao Gubai.

As the mayor’s nephew, he practically had free rein in Candlefire City.

But to leave a good impression on the beauty, he made sure not to appear too overbearing.

“Very well, I’ll let you have this crystal core.”

“But I believe, sooner or later, you’ll obediently deliver it to me.”

Bai Zian said calmly, showing no desire to compete with the skinny Beast Tamer.

Then, without looking back, he took Qiao Gubai and left.

The entire process left the skinny Beast Tamer completely dumbfounded.

“What just happened? Did that guy not even have the intention to compete?”

The skinny Beast Tamer was bewildered.

According to the usual script, Bai Zian should have fiercely competed with him.

After all, in the heat of youth, how could one allow themselves to be bullied like this?

But in the end, the young man would still lose to him, the mayor’s nephew, and might even angrily lash out.

Then, in front of the beauty, he would showcase his Black Iron Beast Tamer strength and make the boy leave in shame!

After that, he would generously give the crystal core to the lady and invite her to spend time together.

That’s how things should have gone, right?

But to his surprise, Bai Zian didn’t even bother to bid and simply left with Qiao Gubai, leaving him no time to react.

In reality, Bai Zian had no interest in such cliché tactics.

Bidding maliciously to show off my wealth?

Or flying into a rage and starting a fight in the black market to teach the guy a lesson?

Frankly, Bai Zian wasn’t interested in that kind of nonsense.

Those methods were too low-level.

Sometimes, you don’t need to act personally or resort to violence to teach someone a lesson.

Bai Zian had a better solution.

In terms of background and status, within the entire territory of Bai Lin City, his family was the most powerful.

After all, his grandfather was the Lord of Bai Lin City, a Diamond-ranked Beast Tamer.

Compared to that, what was a mere nephew of the mayor of Candlefire City?

That’s why Bai Zian opted for a much simpler approach: going directly to the mayor’s residence.

He wanted to ask the mayor of Candlefire City where his nephew got the audacity to try to steal from him.

The skinny Black Iron Beast Tamer dared to use the mayor’s name to pressure him?

Very well.

As the third generation of Bai Lin City’s Beast Tamer family, he would show the man what true bullying with power looked like.

This was Bai Zian’s plan.

Soon, Bai Zian arrived at the mayor’s residence in Candlefire City.

Unlike before, Bai Zian was now accompanied by a cold figure wearing a mask — Bai Zhi, the one responsible for his protection.

Since Bai Zian was here to stir trouble, he wouldn’t come alone and had naturally brought Bai Zhi along.

Before long, Bai Zian met the mayor of Candlefire City, a somewhat portly middle-aged man.

“So, it’s Young Master Bai! I never thought our humble Candlefire City would have the fortune of your esteemed visit.”

As the mayor of a small city under Bai Lin City’s jurisdiction, he was no stranger to the Bai family.

He had met Bai Zian once before in Bai Lin City, so it wasn’t surprising that he recognized him instantly.

However, Bai Zian’s face was cold, showing no friendliness towards the mayor of Candlefire City.

After all, this time, Bai Zian was here to flaunt the airs of a spoiled young master.

And as a spoiled young master, he naturally had to have a temper. How could he give the mayor of Candlefire City a pleasant expression?

“Mayor of Candlefire City, your authority sure runs deep. Even your nephew dares to bully me.”

Bai Zian said icily, his voice filled with coldness.

At that moment, the mayor’s face changed drastically, a trace of panic appearing on his face.
