After seeing Wu Qiushan and his son off, Lu Yuan closed the door of the Divine Beast Pavilion and turned back to the backyard.
at this time.
Mu Ruxing was waiting for him in the room.
"Young Master Lu, the matter has been basically investigated and clarified."
Mu Ruxing compiled the information she had gathered over the past two days and handed it to Lu Yuan.
Lu Yuan frowned after glancing at it twice.
"Those pet cubs that Jiang Yan auctioned back were resold by Xiao Mingxin under the name of the Divine Sea Beast Shop?"
Mu Ruxing nodded.
"Not only that, I also sent people to investigate the buyer's information and found that the price the buyer paid was almost double the auction price!"
"Oh!"
Lu Yuan threw the documents on the table and sneered.
"It seems the Divine Sea Beast Shop is acting as a middleman, making a profit from the price difference, and treating me as a cheap supplier!"
"Young Master Lu, how should this matter be resolved?"
Mu Ruxing's expression was equally unpleasant.
If it's just the Divine Sea Beast Shop causing trouble as usual, then the matter is very easy to resolve; they can handle it themselves.
But things are different now.
According to the investigation, the customers who bought pet cubs from Xiao Mingxin, the owner of Shenhai Beast Shop, came from different cities, and most of them were prominent families with prominent wealth.
He didn't know what the relationship was between these people and Xiao Mingxin, and if he dealt with it rashly, he could easily cause trouble.
However.
To his surprise, Lu Yuan made no attempt to deal with it.
"Don't worry about it, just leave it."
"Huh? We don't need to worry about it?"
Mu Ruxing looked surprised.
As far as he knew, the Divine Beast Auction House was currently the largest source of profit among all of Lu Yuan's businesses.
The Divine Beast Shop's actions were undoubtedly an attempt to use Lu Yuan and the Divine Beast Auction House as a stepping stone to make a hefty profit.
How could Lu Yuan, with his temperament, tolerate such a thing happening?
Is the sun rising in the west?!
Before he could even ask a question, he heard Lu Yuan's deep voice.
"Isn't the Divine Sea Beast Shop trying to gain influence by acquiring goods from me? Well, let's see just how far they can go! Do they really think my things are so easy to take?"
Seeing Lu Yuan's furious yet mocking expression, Mu Ruxing lowered her head and remained silent, silently offering incense to the people of the Divine Sea Beast Shop in her heart.
Those who offend Lu Yuan never have a good ending, and it seems that the good days of the Divine Sea Beast Shop are over.
...
The next day.
Wu Mingxu arrived at the Divine Beast Pavilion on time, just as Lu Yuan had instructed.
"Brother Yuan, what should I do?"
Wu Mingxu stared intently at Lu Yuan, his eyes gleaming.
After returning home yesterday, he couldn't wait to feed the Red Spirit Bird a bag of top-grade food, and the Red Spirit Bird instantly leveled up!
It's already a second-tier beast tamer!
As a result, the spiritual power within his body also increased significantly!
If things continue to develop at this pace, he and the Red Spirit Bird will soon be able to engage in actual combat.
At least I no longer have to worry about how to protect myself.
Moreover, this was the first time he had ever seen such a remarkable beast-taming food, which showed that Lu Yuan's claim that consistent consumption for a year would allow one to break through to the Earth Spirit level was true.
Most importantly, he hadn't forgotten that Lu Yuan had said that as long as he worked hard, even better rewards awaited him in the future!
A reward even better than beast taming food!
He simply couldn't imagine what this magical thing was!
Looking at Wu Mingxu, whose eyes were shining, Lu Yuan smirked.
Why is this kid acting like he's just been injected with chicken blood?
Just because she's a sales clerk in a store doesn't mean she's all fired up, like she's going to war.
It seems he needs to be careful and not let this kid get excited and reveal the matter of the Divine Pavilion.
"Zheng Meng!" Lu Yuan beckoned to Zheng Meng, who was preparing for the opening, and pointed to Wu Mingxu. "This is a new employee we've hired. From now on, it'll just be the two of you in the store, so you'll have to mentor him."
"Yes, manager!"
Zheng Meng readily agreed, looked Wu Mingxu up and down, and then led him to familiarize himself with the store environment, sales content, and procedures.
Seeing this, Lu Yuan happily stuffed another meat bun into his mouth.
After these past few days, Zheng Meng has become capable of handling things on her own.
It seems that after a while, he will be able to completely hand over the Divine Beast Pavilion to her with peace of mind, and he can be a relaxed, hands-off manager.
As he imagined the days of making money effortlessly in the future, Lu Yuan couldn't help but smile.
Just then, a sudden voice interrupted his reverie.
"You surnamed Lu, get out here!"
Lu Yuan frowned and immediately recognized the voice as belonging to Jiang Yan.
"They only come here to cause trouble because they see I have a good temper?"
Seeing Lu Yuan's displeased expression, Wu Mingxu immediately jogged over.
"Brother Yuan, should I go and chase these troublemakers away?"
"No need." Lu Yuan waved his hand, a slow smile playing on his lips. "I'll go and meet him."
Lu Yuan got up and went to the store entrance.
It was rush hour, and the Divine Beast Pavilion was located in a popular area of Yandu. After Jiang Yan shouted, many onlookers had gathered.
Jiang Yan was standing in the crowd, holding a container for a cub in her arms.
Upon seeing Lu Yuan swagger out, his expression instantly turned angry.
"You, surnamed Lu, how dare you show your face?!"
Lu Yuan scoffed, "Weren't you the one yelling for me to come out? Turns out your words are just empty talk, nothing more than spreading stench?"
"you……!"
Jiang Yan was speechless after being rebuked by Lu Yuan.
Based on past experiences, he knew he was no match for Lu Yuan in verbal sparring; he would often end up getting himself furious after talking for a long time.
So they stopped beating around the bush and started shouting straight to the point.
"The Mythical Beast Auction House is your business, isn't it?!"
“That’s right.” Lu Yuan nodded.
"Then you should know that I bid on several pet cubs at the auction last Sunday, right?!"
"I know!" Lu Yuan picked at his ear listlessly, then looked up impatiently. "So, what's next?"
"And then?! You have the nerve to ask me 'and then'?!"
Jiang Yan was completely enraged by Lu Yuan's contemptuous expression. With a "bang," she threw the container of the cub in her arms to the ground.
"Why can't I form a contract with the pet cub I won the auction for?! I knew your shop was a complete scam! I shouldn't have listened to the rumors and bid on that bullshit pet cub!"
Lu Yuan stared at the container that had been thrown heavily to the ground, his eyes gradually darkening.
Jiang Yan thought Lu Yuan was frightened by her words, so she became even more aggressive.
"Everyone, come and take a look!"
"This kid is the owner of the mythical beast auction house that's been making headlines lately!"
"Back then, I believed the rumors that the Divine Beast Auction House really had Heavenly Evolution-level Divine Beast cubs up for auction, so I foolishly went there with my money, only to be scammed out of everything!"
"The trashy pet cubs that come in at the auction are simply impossible to contract normally!"
