Chapter 273 Pressing His Advantage

Huh?

How can he do that?

The crowd was stunned when the vendor went back on his word.

Alex too was surprised at how unscrupulous the vendor was.

Upset, Maggie’s expression darkened. “Mister, are you trying to bully me just because I’m a lady?”

Alex plainly added, “It would do you some good to have some honor.”

As the crowd began to feel indignant, they piled it on.

“That’s right. How can you go back on your word?”

“You just said that you wanted three hundred thousand for it, and now you refuse to sell it. What kind of business are you running?”

The vendor was unfazed at the crowd’s accusations and still had the cheek to smile smugly.

“I’m still selling it, but now the price is a million,” the vendor quoted casually.

He was pressing his advantage.

Maggie gritted her teeth in response. After being in business for so long, she had never come across someone like that.

In the antiques industry, there was a code to follow. Once a price was quoted, it had to be respected.

Nevertheless, after Alex’s analysis, a million for the compass was still considered a good bargain. But, she

found the vendor so irritable that she would other not buy from him than be at the receiving end of his

poor attitude.

“Refund my money, I no longer want it.” Maggie wasn’t bothered to argue with the vendor which would only damage her reputation.

“That’s right, give her a refund!”

“Give her a refund!”

The crowd started chanting.

“Refund?”

Shaking his head, the vendor sneered, “I’m sorry. My rule is that once a deal is done there are no refunds. Either you pay me a million or leave. The deposit is non–refundable.”

His words infuriated the crowd further.

This man was brazen enough to sell with unscrupulous tactics and blatantly disregarded the law.

Hearing his response, Maggie’s face turned frosty, “I’m not going to buy it anymore, alright? Do you think you can get away with swallowing my three hundred thousand?”

Chapter 273 Pressing His Advantage

As a member of the powerful Grant family, she never had to tolerate such impudence. She became so furious that her body trembled.

“Just go away if you don’t want to buy. I have never received your money,” the vendor denied.

As Maggie’s accent wasn’t local, the vendor felt that he could take advantage of her.

“You…” Maggie was outraged. Although it was her first visit to Nebula City, she did not expect to meet such an unscrupulous businessman.

“Just return her the money, or else you’re disgracing everyone from Nebula City. Do you know that?” Alex too couldn’t stand for it as he glared coldly at the vendor.

“I didn’t receive anything from her, so what’s there to refund?” the vendor sneered as he was confident of swindling Maggie.

Letting out a cold snort, Alex approached and grabbed him by the collar as he warned, “Are you going to give the lady back her money or not?”

“What the hell? Do you want to play rough? Touch me if you dare!”

Without any fear, the vendor threatened, “If you dare lay a finger on me, I will send you home in a coffin.”

With such a brazen tone, it was obvious he had a powerful patron.

At that moment, the crowd realized something was amiss. Those that were supportive of Maggie quietened down.

However, there were still some that stepped forward. “Young man, do you know who she is? She is the eldest daughter of the Grant family from Lumenopolis. If you want to challenge her by swindling her money, you’d better think about the repercussions.”

“The Grant family?”

The vendor scoffed, “Who are they? Anyone who wants to buy from me has to follow my rules.”

“You…” Maggie stomped her feet in fury. There seemed to be no way around his impudence.

Slap!

Alex slapped the vendor and threatened, “A**hole, do you want me to break your legs?”

Alex felt the conflict started because he explained the origins of the geomantic compass. Therefore, when the vendor refused to refund the money, he felt he had the responsibility to step in.
