Chapter 741: 738, Lie_1

The banquet hall was packed with people—there must have been at least a hundred nobles, and many servants navigated between them.

Su Yu deactivated his [Invisibility Skill] and emerged from the Void, taking care to amplify the spatial fluctuations to attract attention.

Whirr~

A wave of transparent, irregular light radiated from Su Yu, resonating throughout the banquet hall.

The noble ministers of the banquet hall, even the mere servants with powers no greater than ordinary people, instantly sensed the arrival of this significant figure, Su Yu.

“Who are you?”

...

“Who are you?”

“Quick! Protect His Majesty!”

“Run!”

With cries of fear and surprise, the entire banquet hall descended into chaos.

The stronger nobles and high-ranking figures cleared their way through the crowd, gravitating towards the Emperor.

Of course, they managed to knock over quite a few people during their scramble.

Those of lesser strength headed for the various exits of the banquet hall.

The banquet hall was chaotic, and an empty area formed around Su Yu.

…..

Su Yu was annoyed by the noble’s panic and fuss.

He took out a white crystal from his necklace and held it up high.

“[Calm]!”

He shouted, and a wave of creamy light spread out from the crystal, instantly engulfing everyone in the banquet hall.

The once frantic nobles hit by the light wave soon became calm.

One by one, they stood still, their hands clasped together and their eyes shut, no longer making any noise.

The entire banquet hall fell silent.

“As expected, Priest skills are really handy.” Su Yu appraised the white crystal in his hand with satisfaction, then pocketed it back into his necklace.

…..

General Brendon, who had been openly speaking in the banquet hall just now, stumbled towards His Majesty.

The Emperor of the Fire Nation was a middle-aged man with red markings on his face and golden pupils.

He glanced at Brendon, then turned his gaze back to Su Yu.

“May I ask who you are, powerful one, and why you’ve just appeared in my domain?” The Emperor of the Fire Nation spoke, neither subservient nor arrogant, staring straight at Su Yu.

Su Yu wasn’t hiding his power, so the Emperor had instantly discerned that Su Yu was a high-ranking legend — a level seven!

There were only a few people in the entire dimension who held this rank of legend — no more than five. But oddly enough, he had never seen Su Yu before!

Where did this man spring from?

Upon hearing the Emperor challenge him, Su Yu faced him and the high-ranking and nobles beside him, smiling:

“Everyone, please don’t be alarmed, I’m just an ordinary merchant from another world, peddling some goods from different dimensions.”

“An interdimensional merchant?” The Emperor and his attendants were taken aback.

Many of them had contact with ‘other dimensions,’ such as the Star Realm, the Void Realm, the Abyssal Realm…

But an “interdimensional merchant”, frankly, was a novelty even for them.

Before they could react to the surprise, Su Yu continued:

“I’ve only been in your dimension for a few days. But just now, I heard this general …”

Su Yu pointed at Brendon: “This general said that Duke Gran’s troops are facing a food crisis, that their food supplies are about to run out, so I decided to clarify.”

Upon hearing Su Yu’s words, all eyes immediately pivoted towards Brendon, seemingly blaming him for luring Su Yu out.

Under the “friendly” gazes of the crowd, Brendon felt incredibly awkward.

He quickly defended himself: “What I said was entirely correct! Gran·Flame is indeed short of food, everyone can see that.”

“Running short of food was a problem in the past, but it’s not anymore.” Su Yu smiled.

He took out the crystal containing the record of his trade with Duke Gran from his necklace, projecting the images recorded in the crystal onto the wall of the banquet hall.

Everyone watched as the images showed Su Yu and the Duke trading food in high spirits, haggling over prices amidst laughter and cheer.

…..

Watching the bartering Su Yu and Duke Gran on the screen, the face of the Fire Nation Emperor was as black as pitch.

The entire reason for this banquet was the food supply problem in Duke Gran’s army.

If everything had gone according to plan, Gran’s forces would collapse in the midst of the harsh winter, and he would still be the emperor of Fire Nation once winter was over.

But now….

The sourc𝗲 of this content is frёeωebɳovel.com.

This interdimensional merchant in front of him had sold sufficient food to Gran.

That meant that Gran’s forces wouldn’t crumble in winter but would instead grow stronger!

By next spring, he would have to watch helplessly as the rebels march into the Imperial City, all his ancestral lands falling into the hands of that crafty Gran.

“What’re you implying?” The Emperor of the Fire Nation glared at Su Yu in a fit of rage, demanding, “Did you come to flaight your success? To mock me that I will face defeat next spring?

Let me tell you! If I can’t defeat Gran, I’ve a hundred ways to make sure you don’t leave the Imperial City!”

The Emperor of the Fire Nation was furious.

If this interdimensional merchant’s food supply was the cause of his fall, then he would channel his anger by killing this merchant!

And he’d made up his mind — as soon as his God level forces arrived, he would strike!

…..

Su Yu knew exactly what the Emperor of the Fire Nation was thinking, but he remained calm.

He smiled faintly, glanced around at the surrounding nobles, then addressed the Emperor:

“Your Majesty, do not be so anxious, I have yet to decide to sell this batch of food to Duke Gran.”

The recording crystal had only captured Su Yu haggling with Duke Gran and not the actual delivery of the food, so Su Yu’s lie came quite naturally.

“You…what do you mean?” The Emperor questioned, his arm trembling with intense emotion.

“I meant to say, this batch of food is still with me.” Su Yu smiled, “As a merchant, my primary objective is to sell my goods for the highest price.

Duke Gran offered to purchase it at three times the regular price during normal times. If you, Your Majesty, are willing to purchase this batch of food at six times the regular price, I will not sell this food to Duke Gran but to you instead.”

Upon hearing Su Yu’s words, the Emperor of the Fire Nation was first taken aback, then overjoyed!

So, this merchant had not sold the food to Gran but had brought it to the Imperial City to sell at a higher price!

Just as well! Good that old immovable Gran had not acquired this batch of food!

“Deal! I’m willing to buy all the food at six times the price! Put the food right into our warehouse now, and I’ll hand you the money immediately,” the overjoyed Emperor of the Fire Nation went up to Su Yu and declared.
