Chapter 603: Trouble, Thief
The middle-aged man shouted loudly, but his gaze darted toward Lu Xingchen.
Lu Xingchen frowned slightly.
Babu was displeased: "What kind of attitude is that? Are you going to cause trouble, you little trash!"
Middle-aged man: "Ah, merchants can curse people at will? I don't agree, I want to complain. What about the island owner?"
Most of the shop owners knew Lu Xingchen, so some people looked over.
However, some people advised: "Don't be silly, those are Master Rekin and Master Babu. That's just how they are. Masters always have some quirks. Why are you provoking them?"
Everyone thinks so.
In fact, this is why Lu Xingchen did not prohibit verbal attacks in the village covenant.
Masters are all bad-tempered, so they can't even say a harsh word?
Then who would open shops and set up stalls in the market?
Everyone thinks the middle-aged man is just making trouble out of nothing. He can sell whenever he wants, or not sell whenever he doesn't want to. He just wants to spend money on this exhibition, so who can stop him?
Middle-aged man: "No, I'm going to file a complaint. Where's the island owner?"
He shouted loudly, attracting a lot of people.
Some people mocked him, while others tried to persuade him; it was a chaotic scene.
Middle-aged people just won't listen.
Finally, he fixed his gaze on Lu Xingchen: "You're the island lord, aren't you? What, you're not going to do anything about it?"
Lu Xingchen glanced at him and continued to ask Hong San, "Sister Hong San, is there anything unusual about Misty Rain Village?"
She felt that the middle-aged man's purpose was definitely not to cause trouble.
The middle-aged man was still shouting.
"What do you care?" Suddenly, a faint voice came.
Master Lei Jin appeared at the door.
Laughing Bird: "Hehehe, what's it to you?"
Suddenly, Gao Dafu messaged me privately: "Little Lu, Little Lu, quickly check the nearby channels!"
Lu Xingchen's heart sank, and he quickly opened the nearby channel.
Actually, she had been watching it for a while, but later she found the middle-aged man strange, so she was busy contacting Hong San and stopped paying attention.
Chaos erupted in the nearby channels:
"Ah, a thief! Why is there a thief? My gold coins!"
"Who's so heartless as to steal my xiaolongbao? I just came here from the food street with a bag of xiaolongbao to go, and it got stolen! Are they starving ghosts who steal my xiaolongbao?!"
"Why would there be thieves in a misty village? It's a newly opened market with no reputation. Why would thieves come here? Are they just bored?"
"I just spent 8,000 gold coins to buy a weapon, and it got stolen! I'm so angry!"
Lu Xingchen frowned. A thief has arrived?
Before, she had asked Master Lei Jin about possible anomalies at the market and mentioned whether there were thieves. Master Lei Jin said that it was generally impossible because there were few people in the newly opened market and thieves rarely visited.
Not worth it!
Thieves only go to those bustling markets that have been open for a long time.
What if there aren't many people at the new market? What's the point of stealing then?
Unexpectedly, a thief really came!
There seem to be quite a few!
Hong San's voice came through: "Xiao Lu, suddenly a lot of thieves appeared. Hei San, Hei Jiu, and I are leading people to catch them. Those guys are too cunning."
"Many?" Lu Xingchen said immediately, "Senior Sister, I need to activate the reserve guard team!"
Hong San: "Okay, they'll be here right away!"
Yesterday, Lu Xingchen made full preparations.
She initially set up eight guards, but later felt it wasn't enough, so she added a reserve team of fifty or sixty guards, essentially including all the usable members of the Fire Phoenix Pirate Crew and the Black Skull Pirate Crew.
The first market is of great importance.
She cannot fail.
She prepared so many backup personnel to prevent any trouble.
Hiring so many people will require a lot of gold coins.
