Chapter 139

~6 min read 1,081 words

just an ordinary Celestial Dragon,

and his wealth wasn't actually as much as one might imagine!

Although at the auction,

he spent 1 billion Berries to buy that mermaid,

in reality,

that was almost all of his wealth!

Now,

let alone 5 billion Berries,

he couldn't even take out 2 billion Berries!

To scrape together 5 billion Berries,

he would either have to borrow money everywhere,

or just wait for the monthly living allowance distributed by the clan!

Seeing the Celestial Dragon's appearance,

Li Xiao probably guessed his situation,

so he said:

"No rush, you can consider it slowly; I'll keep this camera for now, and you can come find me when you've considered it."

Upon hearing this,

the Celestial Dragon was slightly stunned,

and then his heart immediately breathed a sigh of relief!

Although his brain wasn't good most of the time,

this didn't mean he was truly stupid!

It was just that with his Celestial Dragon status,

under normal circumstances, he didn't need to use his brain to think about problems,

just doing whatever he wanted!

And now,

in this life-and-death situation,

he had pushed his brain to the limit,

and after a little thought, he understood the meaning of Li Xiao's words!

Saying he could consider it slowly,

in reality,

he had no choice at all!

Either honestly take out 5 billion Berries,

or wait for his 'Luo Zhao' to be spread all over the world!

By that time,

it wouldn't just be a matter of face,

he would inevitably be seen as a disgrace to the Celestial Dragon clan!

By then,

not to mention the ridicule from other Celestial Dragons,

whether he could continue to live on Mary Geoise would be a question!

Therefore,

he must take out these 5 billion Berries

to buy back the camera that had his 'Luo Zhao'!

And the meaning of Li Xiao's words,

simply translated, was—I'll give you some time, save up 5 billion Berries and come find me!

Although these 5 billion Berries would be enough to make him struggle for a long time,

he still breathed a sigh of relief in his heart,

and even felt a bit of joy at having survived a disaster!

Because Li Xiao saying this meant he wouldn't kill him for the time being!

Compared to his life,

5 billion Berries were nothing!

In fact,

not only this Celestial Dragon,

but Huang Yuan, who was silent on the side, also breathed a slight sigh of relief!

The meaning of Li Xiao's words,

that Celestial Dragon could figure out,

and Huang Yuan naturally understood too!

Since this Celestial Dragon was thrown out of the auction house by Li Xiao,

Huang Yuan had been a bystander the whole time,

with no intention of saving this Celestial Dragon at all!

Even,

if Li Xiao really killed this Celestial Dragon,

Huang Yuan still wouldn't step in to stop him!

Put on the sunglasses,

and pretend not to see!

On one hand,

it was because even if he stepped in,

it was unlikely he could save this Celestial Dragon,

and on the other hand,

he really didn't want to experience again

the feeling of being chased and slashed by that cyan longsword!

However,

Huang Yuan being a bystander the whole time

didn't mean he really wanted to see a Celestial Dragon die at Li Xiao's hands!

On the contrary,

if he could,

Huang Yuan hoped this Celestial Dragon could live well!

At least,

don't die in front of him!

No matter what,

this was a Celestial Dragon after all!

After Li Xiao killed two Celestial Dragons in front of him last time,

the Celestial Dragon clan on Mary Geoise was already furious!

Because of this,

the Navy had also been significantly affected!

If this Celestial Dragon died in front of him again,

I'm afraid those Celestial Dragons on Mary Geoise would stir up trouble again!

Although it wouldn't cause actual losses to him or the Navy,

it would inevitably cause a lot of trouble!

Therefore,

if Li Xiao could not kill this Celestial Dragon,

that would naturally be for the best!

As for the subsequent situation...

Li Xiao could ask for 5 billion Berries,

and even if he asked for 50 billion Berries,

Huang Yuan wouldn't care,

anyway, it wasn't his money!

Even if this Celestial Dragon were to be killed by Li Xiao with a sword later,

Huang Yuan wouldn't care,

as long as he didn't die in front of him!

And,

to be honest,

regarding those Celestial Dragons on Mary Geoise,

Huang Yuan thought it would be fine if a few died!

After Li Xiao finished saying this,

he didn't linger,

and immediately left,

heading straight in a certain direction on Sabaody Archipelago!

When passing by Huang Yuan,

Li Xiao stopped,

said something softly,

and after Huang Yuan looked at the Celestial Dragon with a strange expression

and nodded,

Li Xiao left with a smile!

Seeing this,

Rayleigh, who had witnessed the whole process,

hurriedly followed, carrying the shark fish-man!

He was a pirate, after all,

and the former First Mate of the Roger Pirates!

When Li Xiao was there, he could watch the show from the sidelines,

but now,

Li Xiao had left,

and if he didn't leave,

wouldn't he be waiting to start a war with the Marines!

And seeing the two big shots leave one after another,

the mermaid Lina hurriedly followed closely behind Rayleigh,

even reaching out to grab the corner of Rayleigh’s clothes,

afraid of being left behind if she walked too slowly!

She was very clear about the situation she was facing!

On this Sabaody Archipelago,

once she lost the two big shots in front of her,

the result awaiting her

would be getting caught and taken back to the auction house!

After they had walked a certain distance,

Rayleigh couldn't help but say:

"Tsk tsk tsk, this is the first time I’ve seen such a humble Celestial Dragon, especially with a Marine Admiral on Sabaody Archipelago; it’s a once-in-a-lifetime sight!"

After saying this, Rayleigh muttered to himself...

"Come to think of it, you make money way too fast; in just a few words, 2 billion Berries are in your pocket!"

"2 billion Berries! How long would that last me at the casino!"

"Not to mention, you still have 5 billion Berries yet to collect!"

"This is a proper get-rich-quick industry; why didn't I think of it before!"

"Should I try it next time?"

"How about I try that next time?".
