âMy master has traveled a long journey and feels a little sick. He wants to enter the city as soon as possible, but the line is too long, so he doesnât want to get in line. Please help us, Sirs.â
As Beanie spoke, she stepped forward and handed the other party a package very discreetly.
The burly man took it and he quietly took a look at what was inside.
There was a look of surprise in his eyes.
That was a good thing!
A priceless treasure.
So, he put it away unconsciously.
Beanie breathed a sigh of relief.
It would be fine if the man accepted it. She was worried that he would not.
This was her first time coming to Amber City, and also the first time she had seen such a long queue entering a city.
Just when Beanie thought the other party would let her in, the guard suddenly said: âOnly the first carriage can go. The remaining two have to get back in line.â
âSir, all three carriages are in the same team and the one in the middle belongs to our master. Please make things convenient for us,â Beanie said hastily.
âI donât care who your master is. You have to listen to me when youâre in Amber City. Are you going or not? If not, get back in line. Donât block the road or you wonât be able to leave when the law enforcement team comes.â
âYouâ¦â Beanie was very angry.
She did not expect the other party to have such a big appetite.
As expected of the eight main cities, even a guard was arrogant.
The treasure she handed him was quite valuable, but he only allowed one carriage to pass.
She would need to give him three treasures if she wanted all three carriages to go in.
âItâs so expensive to enter a city.
âTheyâre so cruel and greedy.â
âWhat? I know you are leaders in other places but this is Amber City, not your hometown. Donât think we wonât dare to do anything to you just because youâre a woman. If you donât leave, we wonât only take action against you, but we will also do so to your master.â The burly man was not scared of Beanie at all.
The person supporting him was the mayor of Amber City.
So what if he took her gift?
Who would know that this woman gave him this gift?
Could he let her through just like that?
Even if he did not let her through, the gift would still go to him in the end.
Beanie had no choice.
That man was stronger than her and since she was in his territory, she had to admit defeat.
Plus, David told her to keep a low profile. To solve any problems with money.
Suppressing the anger in her heart, she gave another two wrapped treasures to the other party and said aggrievedly, â Please help us, Sir.â
After taking the two packages, the burly man hinted at the other guard. After the other man nodded, the two took a step back and started discussing among themselves.
âWe can live carefree after we take these three valuable treasures. Should we let them through?â The burly man whispered.
âAre you stupid? Those people are clearly moneybags from a small place. We finally have this chance, so wonât we lose out if we let them go in now? Think of another way to get more stuff from them,â the other guard said.
âI let the first carriage pass after I accepted the first one, and now theyâve given me two more. So, by right, I should let all three carriages through. Would we make them mad if we start trouble now?â
âItâs fine! Theyâre from a small place, so what if we enrage them? Donât say anything later. Let me talk to them. After this, weâll be able to live a good life.â
âAlright, Iâll leave this to you then.â
After the two had a discussion, they walked back to Beanie.
The burly man who accepted the gifts did not say anything. Meanwhile, the other guard said to Beanie, âBring your master here.â
âThank you, Sirs!â
