Arthur smiled sinisterly at him. On the other hand, the gazes of the two male tigers suddenly shifted to him.
Roar! Roar!
They roared at him, as if warning him to be careful with his speech. Even though he was an expert dealing with wild beasts, he was still intimidated, almost falling over.
Whoosh!
Suddenly, Arthur's hand moved to his neck, making his recover instantly because he knew that he wanted his necklace.
"What are you doing?" he asked out loud.
He tried to grab Arthur's hand, but it grabbed his necklace first and then tugged.
"Shit!" Like a tiger whose cub was taken, Roy immediately jumped towards Arthur's hand holding the necklace.
"I just want to borrow it, shut up!" Arthur said and looked at him with cold eyes, which instantly made all the hairs on his body stand up.
He calmed down instantly because of that, looking at Arthur with trembling eyes. Just now, he had felt the sensation of death, something he had only ever felt while receiving the stares of dozens of hungry beasts.
As someone who knew some things by luck, he immediately concluded that Arthur wasn't simple at all. He is not a circus performer as he thinks.
The people looked at Arthur and Roy with frowns. Roy's necklace, no one took it seriously, they just thought it was an ordinary necklace, no different from the ones sold on the roadside. Hence, their actions in their impression were like two small children fighting over a toy.
However, they weren't the type that liked this kind of commotion.
"Arthur, if you want to borrow something from someone else, do it politely, did your family never teach you about it?" Erick said, rebuking Arthur. He apparently took advantage of this in hopes of changing Amanda's impression of Arthur.
Unfortunately, Amanda was still busy staring at the tigress who seemed to be looking at her with eyes of reverence, something that made her wonder if she was dreaming.
Meanwhile, Arthur replied, "politeness is only for those who are weak or those who are only slightly stronger than others."
Such arrogant words naturally made people want to be angry, but Roy who was the object of the topic actually didn't look angry at all. He didn't dare because he was still in his intimidated state.
Erick who didn't want to lose his grace in front of people finally forced himself not to speak anymore.
Arthur then looked the necklace in his hand from end to end before stopping on the agate.
Of course, it was no ordinary agate. It was a magic artifact, which actually couldn't be said to be ordinary but due to the erosion of time, it had leveled off so that it was almost the most ordinary artifact.
With one glance, Arthur could immediately tell what type of artifact it was. Basically, it can confuse the mind, even subconsciously doing whatever the artifact holder says.
The reason the artifact didn't affect humans was only because its state was already so weak that it could no longer affect the minds of humans who were much stronger than other creatures.
He didn't look at the necklace for too long. However, after he finished observing it, he didn't return it to Roy, instead he put it in his trouser pocket.
"You?" The man froze because earlier he said he only wanted to borrow it, now why did he keep it?
"I'd like to borrow it for a day or two, you can pick it up later in Vera City, do you mind?" Arthur asked him.
Given that it was something he relied on for work, how could he not object.
Unfortunately, in this situation he really couldn't say, that he really minded.
He was thinking what he needed to do, whether he should take time off in the next few days.
While finding no answer, he cursed himself for being too rude to Arthur. He was sure Arthur wouldn't have done this if it wasn't for that.
After a moment of thought, he said in a low voice. "I-I can tell you where I found it."
"Sure you have to tell me" Arthur replied with a look to tell him he couldn't negotiate with him.
Ring!
Suddenly, Erick's cell phone rang. When he looked at the screen of his cell phone, he was a little worried.
"Dad, what's wrong?" He said after answering the phone.
"Are your lions and tigers still around?" asked Erick's father. Other people couldn't hear his voice, but Arthur could hear it clearly even though he wasn't paying attention to Erick.
"The lions are still there, but the tigers have just been sold," Erick replied.
"Oh well, don't sell the lions, someone wants them."
Erick knit his brows at that. "Dad, is that them?"
"Yeah, they're on their way to your place, just you wait!"
After hanging up the phone, Erick said to his subordinates.
"Move them!" He pointed at the cages of the tigers.
They've already been bought, so will be moved aside.
Of course, the people Erick ordered didn't dare touch the cages directly while they were moving them. They pulled them up using the ropes tied to them.
Only, seeing the tigers calm made them wonder if it was even necessary.
Meanwhile, Amanda asked Arthur. "Are you interested in the lions?"
She had confidence in Arthur, so she didn't hesitate to buy more, not just out of interest.
"No need to rush, there will be something interesting," Arthur replied. freewebno(v)el.com
Hie affinity for lions is not as high as for tigers, but of course, they make great pets too. If Amanda didn't mind spending more money, he naturally didn't mind.
"Let's have a look first," Arthur said as he took a step.
Amanda followed him, but not only her, Roy too.
This time, he went to the bird-only area.
At the same time, Erick said something to Luke, he told him what his father had told him.
Luke obviously knew something, after hearing Erick's words he showed interest. "I've been wanting to see them, these European masterpieces," he said.
His words were also heard by Arthur, he was getting more and more interested.
