Richest Man: Divine-Grade Reconstruct System Chapter 1373 - 1198: Go Inside

It is precisely because of this reason that no one questioned the authenticity of each other’s words.

In their view, the fat man had no need to deceive them, after all, it was too easy to verify the facts for themselves.

Moreover, the fat man had nothing to gain from tricking them.

Perhaps to the fat man, it would be more loss than gain.

It was exactly because of these kinds of reasons that when the fat man spoke, everyone looked at him with an unusual expression in their eyes.

At the same time, some resented the fat man for not giving them any room to maneuver.

The fat man’s offer was already so high that if theirs was too low, how could they possibly buy a house?

Meanwhile, they thought to themselves, no wonder they hadn’t bought a house in so many days; it turned out this fat man was causing trouble behind the scenes, which made some individuals look at him with a desire to beat him up.

Of course, reason told them not to act out, after all, the fat man was a resident of the neighborhood now, and if they were to attack him, the guards at the gate would definitely intervene.

They would absolutely not let them off the hook, as it was clearly stated that the soldiers had an obligation to protect the residents, which had been mentioned earlier. Due to this reason, although these merchants outside felt frustrated and stifled at times, they never dared to act excessively.

Because they knew if they truly crossed the line, the consequences would be severe, and prison time wasn’t out of the question. These conditions were what made the area so quiet, prompting them to approach the residents properly for conversations without any excessive actions.

If it weren’t for these soldiers, these properties in the hands of the commoners might have been forcefully taken away long ago, an outcome absolutely impossible as it is today.

After the fat man spoke, he did not stop but swept his gaze over everyone, searching for something among them.

He seemed to be looking for a target, a target who could possibly make a deal.

Thus, under the fat man’s probing, his gaze soon locked onto a person he knew well, someone quite wealthy and richer than himself.

However, the reason for considering the person was purely because they had the capability to help him make a big profit. Yet he wasn’t too clear and didn’t directly target the individual or strike up a conversation.

After all, being too obvious would make him appear overly eager, which wouldn’t be favorable for his further endeavors.

With this thought in mind, he began describing the differences within, mentioning how after purchasing the house, he renovated it, replacing ordinary things with the finest, including all decorations and artworks, spending over a thousand taels on each house.

This immediately caused a stir among those around him; to think the total house price was only three or four thousand taels, spending over a thousand just on decorations was beyond ordinary capability, requiring substantial resources to achieve.

These statements likewise attracted a lot of attention, with many stepping forward, friends wanting to come inside for a look. Naturally, the fat man didn’t bother too much with them, nor refused entirely.

He left this suspenseful situation for the crowd, sparking them all to contemplate the possibility of the fat man really taking them inside.

Thinking of this, those especially close to him began pulling him aside, wishing to engage in whispered conversations, among them was the person he had locked eyes with.

Among the crowd, pulling him over to his side:

"Brother Wang, is it possible for you to take Elder Brother inside for a look?"

"Yes, yes, what exactly is in there, Elder Brother has never seen it. Really wish to go inside for a look,

Now, since Brother Wang you’re also a resident here, could you bring us inside for a peek?

No need for much, just let us have a glimpse, so we know what kind of treasure this place is."

"Who says otherwise? We’ve been guarding outside for so long, yet have never glimpsed the inside."

"Who could say differently? I’ve heard it’s beautiful inside, but who has ever truly seen it?"

"Elder Brother, if you can take me inside, I am willing to offer ten taels of silver as compensation. Just let me take a look inside, and I’ll come out. I’ll absolutely not cause any trouble for you."

"I’m willing to offer fifteen taels. Elder Brother, take me inside, just let me stroll around and that’ll be enough."
