Rebirth of the Prime Dragon Master -
Chapter 748 No Evidence On The Table
Willie hated lies, especially the ones that were so ridiculous. Yet here he was, having to deal withsuch from the man who had shown up at his doorstep. "Butler Willie, have you finished? In myopinion, you don't have to pretend. Apparently, the Magical Beast House sold me a sick beast,” theblack-bearded man beat the gang and shouted impatiently. The man looked like someone whoknew he was lying through his teeth. A fraud, trying to hustle the Magical Beast House out a healthybeast they had sold him. And the swindler was gutsy into the bargain. Even if he knew Willie couldsniff out his lies, the ego would not let him apologize.
"Sir, don't worry. We'll finish in a minute. Go to the mansion and ask Master Harry to come here."Willie hesitated, before calling out with a worried face.
Soon, a young man in a green robe and square face walked in. He looked simple and honest, andhis every move was steady.
"Master Harry, the customer bought this baby Heaven Prestigious Tiger from us the day beforeyesterday, but it fell ill, after only two days. Do you know what might have happened?” Willie asked.The young man was Harry, a disciple of Raef. Raef usually accepted many disciples for training. Butthey only learned basic skills then left to start their own life. Some used the skills acquired underhim, for sustenance, by treating beasts. Only a small number of disciples still stayed here to work forthe Xiao Clan. Harry was one of those who stayed on. With his excellent work ethic, he put in extraeffort, every day to study the art of Beast Curing Skill. As a result, Raef grew fond of him. Now hewas the first beast tamer in the Magical Beast House.
"Okay." Harry nodded and went to check on the Heaven Prestigious Tiger.
"Master Harry is one of our promising disciples from the Xiao Clan who has also inherited many ofour chief. He is the most skilled beast curer of our Magical Beast House. I'm sure he can tell what'swrong with your spirit-manipulated beast,” Willie said to the man with a black beard on purpose,giving him a hint.
"Oh, really? Then let me see how powerful he is.” Willie had intimidated the man into somesemblance of sanity. But inside, the man was on pins and needles, especially from the time Harrycame in.
Meanwhile, someone else was watching the man's exaggerated mannerisms. What the black-bearded man had done did not escape the eyes of Rocky.
"Did this guy do it on purpose? To scam the Magical Beast House..." murmured Rocky.
At first, Harry performed basic Beast Evaluation Skill on the baby Heaven Prestigious Tiger. Hedetermined its aptitude and checked if there was anything wrong. Then he began to assess its body,but after several tests, he found nothing out of place.
'Are you the number one beast curer in the Magical Beast House? You are just so ordinary." Shakinghis head, Rocky laughed in his heart.
"Master Harry, what do you think?" looking at the black-bearded man who was sitting cross-leggedon the chair, Willie asked in a low voice.
"It's strange that I can't replace a single sign of illness on the Heaven Prestigious Tiger, nor any injuryon it. Maybe, it could be something to do with internal injuries. But how did that happen?" Harryglanced at the man and walked to the other side of the room.
Willie immediately followed him.
"Master Harry, has this spirit-manipulated beast been intentionally harmed?" Willie whispered. Fromexperience, Willie was used to this kind of thing in Magical Beast House. Often, some craftyindividuals would buy a spirit-manipulated beast, only to harm it and return it with the aim ofextortion. So when he heard Harry say that the baby Heaven Prestigious Tiger had nothing wrongwith it, he understood. The black-bearded man must have done something fishy, hoping to claim ahuge sum of money in compensation. He wanted to swindle the Magical Beast House.
No matter how smart these guys were, the beast curers of the Xiao Clan would still be able to seethrough their schemes. Otherwise, the Magical Beast House wouldn't have earned its famousreputation.
"The spirit-manipulated beast may have been poisoned. Let's wait and see if our suspicions cometrue..." Harry guessed.
"Alright, then. Please have a try as soon as possible. If this guy is just a fraud, I will not spare him,"Willie said, seething with fury, but trying his best to keep calm until they established the truth.Harry nodded. Then he asked someone to get the tools for testing poison.
They didn't need to break a sweat about that, because the Magical Beast House had alreadydeveloped specialized tools and techniques to test whether a spirit-manipulated beast waspoisoned. Those bent on swindling the Magical Beast House were fond of using specific poison,which made a spirit-manipulated beast sick with various symptoms but difficult to diagnose. Ingeneral, this kind of poison was tested by blood samples from the affected beast.
Harry got to work quickly. With the use of silver needles, he took samples from the sick HeavenPrestigious Tiger. However, the test turned out negative, with no trace of the suspected poison.Seeing Harry failed to detect poison with silver needles, the bearded man smiled smugly.
"Did he use incense?" Harry muttered. Incense was another common poison the swindlers werefond of. Its toxicity was quite mild, but over a long time, it would manifest in similar complicationsas the spirit-manipulated beast was showing.
To test for this, Harry sent for lavender leaves. But when he put the leaves in front of the HeavenPrestigious Tiger, there was still no effect.
Later, Harry tried several more methods, but the Heaven Prestigious Tiger didn't get any better orseem to be poisoned.
"This is the first time I'm seeing something like this." Harry shook his head at Willie. Apparently, hewas at a loss.
The other three beast curers nodded as well.
'I don't know whether it is an airtight trick. Or it could be, these guys are too lousy to figure outsuch a simple issue. This fellow is smart as a whip. The method he used is very simple, but it mightleave these so-called beast curers helpless, ' Rocky wondered to himself. Rocky really wanted tosave the Heaven Prestigious Tiger's life, but he didn't want to expose himself.
"Don't waste time. I have more important things to attend to,” the black-beard man thundered, likethe excitable person he had been earlier. He seemed to have planned this for a long time. Heimmediately stood up from his seat, looking very angry.
"Wait a minute, sir!" Willie tried to pacify him.
"What are you waiting for? The Magical Beast House sold a sick beast to me, but you pretended tobe innocent. Do you think I'm easy to bully? Forget it. I'm in a good mood today. I won't ask you forten thousand taels. That's a lot of bucks that could leave holes in your pockets. So I'll just be agentleman, and cut it down to five thousand,” the man said as he raised his hand.
"But you checked the beast before I sold it to you. If it were a sick beast, you would have known,and wouldn't have taken it," Willie explained.
"Who knows if you had done something fishy to it before you sold?" retorted the man. It wasapparent the guy had come here with malicious intentions. He did not even pause to understandwhat Willie was saying
"You..." Although Willie was pretty sure that the man was a fraud, he couldn't bring any evidence onthe table. Now, his face darkened at the thought of someone trying to swindle him.
