George didn't know what to say. He rolled his eyes to him. "Really?! Do you think that I killed him because of that?! Haha.. I won't do it..."
Zhang Fu then sneered. "Hmph! There's no robber who admits that he stole things! Why are you so sure? It's not like you have any evidence that you didn't kill him! From what I heard, you will kill the person who stole your plants, and it turned out to be this rat? Are you joking?!"
George smiled happily when he heard his counter argument. "Are you sure you want that? I have the footage! Want to see it?!"
George showed the footage of when these mischievous rats stole their homegrown vegetables and potion ingredients. They all were very shocked by this thing. How could a rat eat all the crops until it was very clean? It clearly looked like someone stole the vegetables, but it's very shocking to see that a rat is the one who actually does that.
But, the most important thing... They were very interested in the artifact. "What kind of artifact is this? It could capture a world inside of it?! Very interesting! Where is the place that I could buy it-" Before he could finish talking, he was glared by Zhang Fu.
Zhang Fu shouted angrily, that made all people stared at this old bearded guy weirdly. "Haish! Look! He is clearly lying! It was a very small rat that ate the plants, not this gigantic one! And because he was very angry that the precious plants that he nurtured for ages are gone, he vents his anger at my poor disciple! I need to avenge him!"
"Pfft~ It's him, you know! He was huge because I gave him a new item that I wanted to sell today!"
Like before.. this chaotic event was turned into an opportunity to promote his newest items, Pishsalver and Upelkuchen.
George opened his bag and placed it on the nearest table. "This is called pishsalver! Or people like to call as drink me potion. The effect of it was to make your body smaller! And this cake is called upelkuchen, like pishsalver... It has a different name. It's called eat me cake! The effect is the opposite of the pishsalver. The people who consumed it will be bigger! Well.. with these two items, you could be a friggin' giant or a Thumbelina!"
"If you become as small as an ant, you could infiltrate things more easily! And if you become a giant or maybe a giantess? Oh.. by the way.. I won't assume your gender! You could be stronger and could step on people like an ant!"
People were speechless by that. Especially on that "won't assume your gender" part! No one really knows why does that sound so iconic?
Not only the audience... Zhang Fu, Mu Yifei, and Sun Zhou were very baffled by it. They were in a serious talk and it suddenly turned into a promotion.
「Ding! Is.. this what they call commercial break?」
George rolled his eyes. "Oh yeah.. This two item's effect couldn't be removed by any means. Even with the potion effect remover!"
They once again were baffled by it. "Why is that so?" They were interested in it at first, but when they heard that. They decided to reconsider it. It would suck to stay as a giant, or having a body that's as big as an ant.
"It's different than the few potions that I sold. It used a different kind of method, so it couldn't be removed by them."
Then one of them asked the most important question. "Then.. How do we get back to our normal size if we used these two items?!" Everyone nodded in agreement.
Only Zhang Fu was very angry, because he was forgotten just because of a stupid promotion.
"SHUT UP! I STILL HAVE A BUSINESS WITH OWNER MA! If you want to ask it, do it after we are done!" Said Zhang Fu while he stared at the crowds angrily.
The crowds also stared at him angrily while throwing some items at him. "Who do you think you are? Cursing at netizen like us? HMPH! Want to get smashed with this duck egg?"
Zhang Fu almost exploded in anger. He actually got the egg thrown at him. "HEY! WHO JUST THREW THE EGG? ALL OF YOU WERE COURTING DEATH! JUST WAIT UNTIL I REPORTED YOU TO MY BACKING!!" He shouted with a bulging vein on his forehead. He was truly mad this time.
George almost laughed heartily when Zhang Fu gets an egg thrown to his face. It was very exciting and could be considered as one of the most satisfying moment since he opened this store.
"And you... Stop holding your laughter! Don't think that I didn't see you trying to hold your laughter." Zhang Fu stared at George angrily.
"Oh? Okay then! HAHAHA! Good job to whoever does that! I like your style!"
Zhang Fu becomes angrier. He thought that George will try to compose himself to not laugh at him, but he was very daring today and really laughed at him.
"Y- you! I think it's really you who killed my disciple! HOW DARE YOU!"
George frowned when he heard that. "Like I said... I. DON'T. F*CKING. KILL. YOUR. DISGUSTING. DISCIPLE!" George then wiped some sweat on his forehead. "Woah~ I accidentally stepped on the gas pedal!" [1]
Everyone : "..." Wha? Gas pedal?!
Zhang Fu kept sneering at him. "Really? I think it's really you! You vent your anger at my disciple and accidentally killed him! Hurry up and confess... If you don't..." He smiled coldly. "Don't regret it!"
George laughed mockingly. This guy wanted to blackmail him? What a joke! "Want a confession? Fine! I'll do it!" I'll face smack him until he shat all over the place!
"But... If I don't kill your disciple, you are blacklisted from coming to my shop. And you should go out of this building ASAP!"
"ASAP?"
George stared at them blankly. "As soon as possible!"
"Oooh! So ASAP means that!"
Zhang Fu sternly said. "Fine! But if you were the one who killed my disciple, you are dead!"
[1] Yeah.. It's a slang word in Indonesia (Ngegas) means suddenly getting angry
Oh yeah.. If you are on discord, you'll know that I got an email from webnovel (yes, they're interested in this novel) should i accept it? but I'm not too confident in this novel! (a storyline that's really basic and the character development? pfft~)
But.. I'd gladly do it on my next novel! (yeah... I want to create another novel, but if this novel is already finished. and i wanted to experiment with romance genre)
