Chapter 1 Transaction Market

"You cut in line and resort to forced buying and selling, and you still think you're right?!"

"What do you mean by 'Esper bullying ordinary people'?! I say you're just an old woman who knows how to bully the young and take advantage of your age!"

"Oh! You're just an ordinary old lady and you dare to point your finger and curse at an Esper; you still claim to be innocent and weak?"

"Exactly, my sister didn't let you cut in line and that's considered bullying? Then what about you yelling about wanting your son to come and back you up and beat us to death?"

"Aiyo, 'My son is so-and-so,' the last guy with that kind of format doesn't even know which jail he's squatting in! I hope you don't use those words to bully us ordinary Espers~"

"Hey~ You can't say that, what Espers, what ordinary people, we're all people, I hope you don't bully those of us with no background."

From a distance, before Mingmei could squeeze into the chaotic crowd ahead, she already heard Lu Xiaoyao and Bai Xiao exchanging sarcastic remarks.

Then came Wang Wenfei's indifferent snort, "Who's more noble than who? A dog relying on its master's power."

Mingmei: "..."

Well, these three's combat power is extraordinary. What was Wang Wenying worried about that made her rush them over?

Wang Wenying: "..."

She knew Lu Xiaoyao and Bai Xiao were sarcastic, but she never expected her sister to directly call someone a dog.

"You three little brats! So eloquent! When my son arrives, none of you will have it good!"

Mingmei and the others entered the crowd and saw Lu Xiaoyao and the other two standing in an inverted triangle formation in front of a杂货摊 (záhuòtān, general merchandise stall). Lu Xiaoyao and Bai Xiao stood in the front, obviously as the "main damage dealers."

Wang Wenfei stood behind them, her eyes constantly scanning the surroundings, seemingly on guard, as if she was ready to fight if someone suddenly rushed out.

Of course, this didn't prevent her from occasionally adding a few words when Lu Xiaoyao and the others were being sarcastic.

Opposite them stood a well-dressed old lady with a livid face, supported by two burly men behind her.

But judging from the old lady's performance of single-handedly arguing with the three girls, Mingmei knew that these two burly men weren't suited for this kind of situation.

The two burly men kept their faces stiff, supporting the old lady who was trembling with anger from Lu Xiaoyao and the others, and didn't say a word from beginning to end.

No wonder the old lady said she was going to call her son.

Without her son, the three of them really couldn't out-talk Lu Xiaoyao and the others with just their mouths.

"Who's her son?"

Standing in the crowd watching the excitement, seeing that Lu Xiaoyao and the others didn't seem to be at a disadvantage, Mingmei didn't immediately step forward, but instead asked a passerby who was also watching the fun.

"Her? Her son is called Zhang Yang, he's a small leader who manages this exchange… This old lady usually relies on her son to manage things here, and she's been running rampant here. She didn't expect to kick a steel plate today..."

Mingmei stared at the look of great satisfaction on the passerby's face, and knew how much trouble this old lady must have caused here usually. Today, she actually caused trouble for Lu Xiaoyao.

Soon, a middle-aged man in a suit and leather shoes squeezed in from the other side of the crowd. His face was greasy. Mingmei wouldn't say how greasy he was, but just looking at his little belly and complexion, he was definitely one of those people who had never suffered.

Mingmei and Mu Chen quietly watched the development of the situation. They wanted to know what would happen next.

"Mom, Mom, what's wrong? Who bullied you?"

As Zhang Yang rushed over, the moment his accusing and fierce gaze landed on Lu Xiaoyao and the other two, his originally ferocious expression suddenly disappeared.

Then a greasy gaze radiating from the inside out swept over the three of them. Bai Xiao and Wang Wenfei frowned, and Lu Xiaoyao directly put her hands on her hips impatiently and said fiercely, "What are you looking at?!"

"Hey, what's wrong with my son looking at you?!"

Seeing that Lu Xiaoyao actually acted fierce towards her son, the old lady instantly started yelling again.

"If your son looks at me, I'll feel like vomiting, what do you say is wrong?"

"Exactly, your son is here too, what, do you want to fight? We're happy to oblige!"

Ever since the last time they started fighting at the drop of a hat, Bai Xiao had discovered that she seemed to be increasingly moving down the road of solving problems with violence.

Thinking of the greasy look in the other party's eyes just now, Bai Xiao originally wanted to curse, but now, she decided that beating him up would be the most satisfying.

"That's right, fighting, we're happy to oblige!"

Saying that, Lu Xiaoyao had already rolled up her sleeves and showed off her muscles, and Wang Wenfei also had flames rising in her palms behind her.

"Do you still want to buy things at the exchange in the future?!"

Coming over, before he could say anything, he was not only given the cold shoulder by the three pretty women in front of him, but also because his mother kept saying how these three women bullied such an old woman like her, he got angry.

"What's wrong? Is this exchange yours?"

"It's not, but I have the right to prohibit people who affect market stability from entering the exchange!"

After saying that, he looked in the direction of Lu Xiaoyao and the others with a proud look, "If you bow your heads and admit your mistakes now, and properly admit your mistakes to me, it's not like I can't..."

"Dream on! You haven't even taken care of your mother, such a big destabilizing factor, and you still have the nerve to talk about others?"

Lu Xiaoyao put her hands on her hips and glared at the man opposite, and said, "Do you know who I am? Do you know who my brother is? Who is my best friend? You're talking so big here!"

When Mingmei heard Lu Xiaoyao ask this, her eyelids twitched fiercely.

"Who are you? Your brother..."

A trace of hesitation flashed in the man's eyes, and he secretly began to think about whether he had offended someone from a big leader's family.

So, Lu Xiaoyao proudly said her brother's and Mingmei's names.

Many people in the crowd had already exclaimed. For the names of the Esper team and related Espers, Lu Gui and Mingmei's names were not small.

However, in the eyes of the surrounding people, Lu Xiaoyao's background was really amazing and untouchable, but for the upper-level managers, including their subordinates who flattered them, their expressions instantly became a lot more ugly when they heard these familiar thorns in their sides.

"So you have a relationship with Lu Gui, and that lunchbox seller..."

When Mingmei's lunchboxes were mentioned, Zhang Yang was even more angry. It turned out that the lunchboxes collected by the superiors, he would also regularly get one or two boxes here, and secretly auction them off through the exchange market. The price they were sold for each time was quite pleasing.

However, these were all things of the past!

He hadn't received a lunchbox here for almost half a month. Previously, he sent a message asking if he wanted to continue the auction, but the superiors only said that selling them could only be sold at two crystal cores.

What's the point of selling a box for only two crystal cores?!

After a little more inquiries, he knew that the lunchbox seller was playing tricks!

Now, with the appearance of a lunchbox seller's best friend, Zhang Yang suddenly laughed angrily. While laughing, he was going to have these three report their names and then completely blacklist them...
