The Growth of a Titan-Chapter 420- A Few Sentences To Resolve The Situation

Woo-seong’s expression instantly turned ugly upon hearing Wei-sun’s words.

After Sol had given him the Nine Heavens Storage Ring, he had gone out of his way to make sure the Auction House he went to wasn’t owned by any of the Holy Sects or Great Clans. But obviously, he didn’t go out of his way enough.

The last thing he wanted was for his Sect’s Immortal Treasure to fall into one of those bastard hands, even though it was severely damaged it was a disgrace that it was obtained by the Jeagal Clan.

Woo-seong clenched his fists even tighter and glared at Wei-sun.

Wei-sun ignored his glare and lifted the storage ring in the air as if to get a better look before saying.

"To think you would be willing to sell your Sect’s Immortal Treasure, the Nine Heavens Storage Ring, for a few Aether Stones. If you can do that, why can’t you lie to get more Aether Stones from my Young Master’s store?"

The crowd in the store was immediately in an uproar when they heard Wei-sun’s words. That was actually one of the Wudang Sect’s lost Immortal Treasures, it reappeared in this world once again.

A few people couldn’t help but shoot Woo-seong looks of contempt. Wasn’t he forsaking his Sect by selling such an item? It wasn’t only a precious treasure, but it held quite some significance to the Wudang Sect. As records say, they had sacrificed a lot to regain it back but had ultimately failed in the end.

What Woo-seong did was no different from stomping on the efforts his ancestors made to retrieve that treasure. Such a person really wouldn’t have any scruples lying to get compensation from the store.

However, no one said this out loud and instead turned to glance at Sol. There was still a bit of doubt in their hearts that someone like him would do something like this.

However, as if reading the crowd’s thoughts, Wei-sun played with the Nine Heavens Storage Ring between his fingers as he looked at Sol and said.

"Brother Sol, I expected something like this from Woo-seong who was desperate, but as for you, I’m utterly disappointed. I was informed that you spent nearly a hundred million high-grade Aether Stones purchasing items from other stores owned by my Young Master. Perhaps you weren’t able to pay for these accessories so you concocted this plan with Woo-seong?"

When the crowd heard that, their expression froze and their gazes towards Sol shifted slightly.

Woo-seong wanted to jump out and say something but stopped himself as anything he said in this circumstance would make the situation worse.

Woo-seong felt a bit worried in his heart and he turned to look at Sol.

However, the worry that was about to settle in Woo-seong’s heart disappeared when he saw that Sol’s expression was calm.

It was so calm it was to the point one would think he wasn’t the one being accused of scamming the store by Wei-sun.

All this while, Sol had been silent as he listened to Wei-sun. From the moment Wei-sun stepped into the store, Sol knew what his intentions were, and that was to use this situation to bring him down.

All of this, everything, from the store bleeding him out of his Aether Stones to him standing right here, was all a part of Wei-sun’s plan to completely ruin his reputation.

’The Descending Heavenly Dagon of Jianghu schemes with the fallen son of the Wudang Sect’s Patriarch to extort money from a branch store owned by the Jeagal Clan.’

With news like this spreading, Sol would not only lose his stellar reputation but he would be tied with Woo-seong and incur hate from the public for associating with Woo-seong and the Wudang Sect. fгee𝑤ebɳoveɭ.cøm

Perhaps this wasn’t Wei-sun’s original plan, but he surely made contingencies and was going to ruin his reputation according to Sol’s response to being cheated.

As for why Wei-sun was doing this, it all went back to their first meeting.

He wanted to make Sol his friend, but if he couldn’t then he didn’t want another Byeong-ho appearing in this generation.

Wei-sun had probably decided to scheme against him after Sol failed to deliver on his promise.

’However, that might only be a small factor. For him to go this far because I didn’t sell him a few medicinal plants isn’t logical, it must be something else. I just can’t think of the reason right now.’

After thinking this, Sol calmly met Wei-sun’s indifferent gaze. He knew that Wei-sun was the true Young Master of the Jeagal Clan, not Dae-hyun.

Sol chuckled inwardly; the situation had changed but the plan remained the same.

Sol revealed a smile as he shook his head and said.

"Brother Wei-sun, I understand that you’re just standing up for Young Master’s store, but please don’t falsely accuse me and my friend Seong of doing such a thing. I was the one who found the Nine Heavens Storage Ring in the Hundred Plants and Herbs dimension and gave it to him. He asked me if he could use it to help the innocent mortals and the younger generation in the Wudang Sect that was affected by the taboo actions of the older generation, and I agreed. Is that so wrong?"

Upon hearing Sol’s words, the crowd’s hearts were moved. To think Sol found such a treasure and instead of keeping it, he instead returned it to the rightful owner.

Would such a person really try to scam a branch store of the Jeagal Clan because he couldn’t afford the items they sold?

As for Woo-seong selling his Sect’s Immortal Treasure, if anyone thought about it deeply, they would have done the same if they were as desperate to save their Sect as Woo-seong was. In fact, this showed that Woo-seong was someone with a bit of character.

After his Sect went into ruins, he stepped up and tried to support the innocent people affected.

All of Wei-sun’s words just now really seemed like a joke. Perhaps he really just said all of that to defend the store and save the Jeagal Clan’s reputation.

Wei-sun’s brows creased as he looked at Sol’s smiling expression. In only a few sentences, Sol reversed the situation he had created after rambling off his mouth for so long.

After thinking for a moment, Wei-sun realized he had no angle to attack Sol from, those few sentences completely shut down his entire scheme. His brows furrowed even deeper.

He might have underestimated this person.
