Extreme Almightiest Young Master

Chapter 1123 - 1121: Fake Money?

"We can’t let them leave! You little brats, do you know how much these clothes are worth? Even if we sold you, it wouldn’t cover the cost! Now that they’re all dirty, they can’t be sold anymore. Where are your parents? If you don’t pay up, don’t even think about leaving!"

Seeing the mess of the shelves on the ground, Hu Yu’s face turned extremely ugly. The thought of how much those clothes were worth made her anxious. She immediately fixed her gaze on the little girl, deciding to pin the blame on these children and make them responsible for the damaged clothes!

At this moment, the children were all dumbfounded. They didn’t know what to do. They were not afraid to fight and kill Demon Beasts, but they had never encountered a situation like this and had no idea how to handle it!

When the two sales assistants heard what Hu Yu said, they immediately worried for the children. But they had to listen to Hu Yu, so they could only stand by the door, unsure of how to proceed.

Seeing the two sales assistants blocking the exit, Hu Yu stepped forward to grab Xia Xin. But being just an ordinary person, how could she catch Xia Xin? As Hu Yu reached out, Xia Xin swiftly dodged away.

This move infuriated a boy nearby, who grabbed Hu Yu’s wrist and bellowed, "What are you doing!"

Before the boy could finish, a scream suddenly pierced the air!

"Ahh..."

Hu Yu felt as if her wrist was about to be crushed by something, and she couldn’t help crying out in pain, her voice filled with extreme misery, as if she was enduring some severe torture!

This is bad!

Hearing Hu Yu’s scream, the boy immediately remembered something—this detestable woman was just a mortal, and couldn’t withstand his strength. Xia Lalan had warned them to control their power in the Secular World, or they would cause trouble. Realizing this, he quickly released Hu Yu’s wrist.

But by the time the boy released Hu Yu’s wrist, it was already too late...

"Somebody help, where is the security? Catch these kids! They damaged the clothes and assaulted someone. These kids are absolutely lawless, somebody come quick..."

Watching the clear marks on her wrist and feeling the intense pain, Hu Yu felt like she was going crazy. Today, she wouldn’t let these children leave no matter what!

Hearing Hu Yu’s scream, people who were shopping nearby quickly gathered around. Their gazes fell upon the teary-eyed Hu Yu, confused about what had happened. Why was she screaming so miserably, and why did she want security to catch these children? What was really going on?

"Whose children are these? They assaulted someone. Doesn’t anyone care? What kind of people are they? How come such wild kids are running around in a shopping mall..." Seeing onlookers gather around, Hu Yu pointed at the children and spoke as if she was incredibly wronged.

Similarly, Xia Lalan heard about something happening to the children, and hurried over from a nearby store to see if any of her students were in trouble. When she saw her students in front of Hu Yu and Hu Yu pointing at them while saying unpleasant things, Xia Lalan’s expression darkened.

"I’m the children’s teacher, what happened here?" Xia Lalan asked, looking at Hu Yu with displeasure. No matter what, such talk about her students made her uncomfortable.

"These children have injured our store manager and ruined clothes in the store. That’s our store manager Hu Yu. You should hurry and apologize to our store manager," one of the female sales assistants, who was nicer, tried to persuade Xia Lalan to apologize to the store manager to quickly resolve the issue.

But this was the moment Hu Yu lost her temper, yelling at the sales assistant, "Get lost and stay to the side, this has nothing to do with you!"

"It was these kids, they damaged clothes in our store—look at that, the ground over there is covered! And they even dared to harm me, this matter isn’t over, I’ll sue you, I’ll sue you until you’re bankrupt. Damaging clothes and assaulting people, they’re simply out of control, I refuse to believe that there’s no justice under the sky!"

Following that, Hu Yu clutched at her swollen wrist and yelled at Xia Lalan. She was truly angry now. She had never suffered such a loss from childhood to adulthood, and today she was determined not to let these people off the hook—if she did, she wouldn’t be Hu Yu.

"I’m sorry, it’s my students’ fault, I apologize. As for the damaged goods, we’ll compensate for them." Upon seeing Hu Yu’s spiteful demeanor, Xia Lalan felt somewhat irritated. She wasn’t clear on the details of the situation, but as people began to gather around, she decided to apologize first. Then she planned to quickly compensate for the losses and take the children away.

Yet what Xia Lalan didn’t expect was that while she intended to settle things quickly, Hu Yu had other plans!

"Compensate, you say that so easily, but can you even afford to pay for these items? Do you recognize this brand? It’s an internationally renowned label. There are tens of thousands’ worth of clothes on this rack alone. Just look at what you’re wearing; can you afford it? Don’t even look at the state you’re in!"

The moment Hu Yu heard Xia Lalan offer to compensate, she spoke to her harshly, using extremely unpleasant language. She could tell at a glance that Xia Lalan was dressed very ordinarily, not like someone from a wealthy family. And the children were dressed in such tattered clothes too, not looking like they had money at all. The idea that such a group could compensate for those clothes was absurd—even selling them wouldn’t cover the cost!

Upon hearing Hu Yu’s words, Xia Lalan was stunned. Although Hu Yu’s words were harsh, she could still discern that the damaged clothes were expensive, and she momentarily did not know how to handle the situation. She had never encountered such an issue, and the children were at fault first, leaving her unsure of what to do.

Money? Right, money!

Suddenly, Xia Lalan remembered the stack of euros Lin Feng had given her. The other party wanted a lot of money, and she wondered if this would be enough. Thinking this, she immediately pulled out the stack of euros from her pocket and handed them to Hu Yu.

"Do you think this is enough?" Xia Lalan spoke casually, but in her mind, she figured if it wasn’t enough, she’d just ask Lin Feng for more. She hadn’t expected that buying clothes would lead to such a spiteful encounter. It was really unlucky.

"What is this, can this money even be used? Just some messy, miscellaneous money, and you think you can fool me with it? Who do you take me for? I want renminbi, not this random stuff. Who knows if this money’s even worth anything!" Hu Yu looked at the colorful stack of bills in her hand and, without thinking, lashed out at Xia Lalan. In her mind, she questioned what this woman was thinking, using this messy money to swindle her. Who knew if the money was of any value? Did she think she could deceive Hu Yu with some unknown banknotes?

However, Hu Yu’s lack of recognition did not mean others were unfamiliar with the currency. A sales associate nearby saw the euros in Xia Lalan’s hands and was instantly shocked. She hadn’t expected to see 500-euro bills, and a whole stack of them, at that. How could this woman have so much money?

"Manager, that... that seems to be euros..." Thinking this, she cautiously spoke up beside Hu Yu, trying to inform her about what the money actually was.

"Euros? How is that possible? With them looking like that, how could they have 500-euro bills, and so many at that? What a joke! If you can’t afford to pay, that’s one thing, but trying to trick someone with counterfeit money? It seems you really haven’t learned your lesson. I’m calling the police to have all you scammers arrested!" Hearing her subordinate’s comment, Hu Yu continued with her nasty remarks without a second thought, convinced that it was impossible. Judging by Xia Lalan and the children’s clothing, they couldn’t even have renminbi, let alone euros. Therefore, it must be counterfeit, a scam!

"What fake money, that’s impossible! You can have someone verify it right now. If it’s counterfeit, do whatever you’d like. Just say how much you want, we’ll compensate for it!" Xia Lalan’s face turned ugly as she heard Hu Yu’s accusation and immediately retorted. She believed that Lin Feng wouldn’t give her counterfeit money, so the cash was definitely real. It was the manager in front of her who was being unreasonable.

Hu Yu, hearing Xia Lalan’s response and seeing her expression, gradually began to believe that the money might indeed be real. She surreptitiously passed the euros to her subordinate and signaled them with a glance to check the authenticity of the bills at the cash counting machine.

"Fine, you want to compensate, then? Okay, we can clearly figure out the cost of the clothes, but what about my hand, how will you compensate for this?"

Then, she looked Xia Lalan up and down with renewed confidence, and sensing something different in Xia Lalan’s demeanor, she hastily shifted the topic to her own hand. She wanted to see how Xia Lalan would compensate for her hand.

Having said that, she stretched out her wrist, allowing Xia Lalan to clearly see several handprints on it, now swollen and visible. This wasn’t something a normal person could do, and she was puzzled how a boy who appeared to be barely in his teens could have such strength. It was outrageous!

Looking at the injury on Hu Yu’s wrist, Xia Lalan immediately recognized it as the work of the children. Her gaze swept toward the kids, who were visibly lost and scared, causing them to bow their heads and stand in silence, ...

"I want to know exactly what happened. I’m the children’s teacher; if there’s an issue, I’ll take responsibility!" Seeing the children’s reactions, Xia Lalan already had a rough idea and spoke to Hu Yu. She was indeed curious to see how the spiteful Hu Yu would proceed.

"Your students injured me, it’s as simple as that. What else could have happened! Alright, you take responsibility, don’t you? This wrist injury could be a lifelong issue. You tell me, how do you plan to compensate? If you can’t give me a clear answer, you’re not leaving today!" Hu Yu, upon hearing Xia Lalan agree to take responsibility, displayed a sneer on her face. Even if the other side had money, she suffered so much pain, and she would not let them leave easily!
