Part 13
/*unedited*/
A look of stupefaction and fear can be seen in the eyes of both women as they look at Joe Wang's crazy action. Angel Mei Ong didn't expect that she would be hit by the young man who looks refined. Her heart is beating really fast that she thought that it would jump out of her chest.
But then, she saw that she was suddenly covered by a green light that looks like thin membranes surrounding her body.
The green light surrounded her for more than 10 seconds until they dissipated. In that time frame, she tried to move around and touch the light but to her surprise, the light would stay at a distance of ten inches from her. So no matter how hard she tried to touch the light it was to no avail.
"What is this? This is too magical." Angel Mei Ong thought to herself as she was truly mystified by her experience.
Then her gaze turns to Joe Wang after the light disappeared and then to the deformed serving tray on his hand.
Then it dawned on her that, she was not hurt even with that powerful blow, which is truly terrifying.
Joe Wang wore a smiling face as he carefully put down the serving tray on the table and returns to his seat. Then he calmly pours some tea on his small cup and took a sip.
The two women are speechless as they could not get the gist of what has just happened. Even Melissa Krin who is already aware of the protection that the talisman provided is still dumbfounded. This is because what Joe Wang did is truly barbaric and terrifying. She could imagine the force he put into that strike. If the talisman didn't work, she knew that her friend's life would be in danger.
"You… What, did you do?" Angel Mei Ong asked still confused at what had happened.
Then she suddenly noticed her hand.
She then saw the paper started to crumble and then slowly turned into dust. With a sudden realization, her face turned pale.
"This… this is a precious talisman! How? I mean what? What have you done? You've just wasted it like that?" she suddenly said while scolding Joe Wang.
Her reaction made Joe Wang and Melissa Krin stunned. They didn't know if she is trying to value the talisman or trying to scold Joe Wang for being too wasteful.
"Well, I don't mind the demonstration. Just so you know, that talisman cost 1,000 credits. If you truly regret it, then just pay me 1,000 credits." Joe Wang said with a smile.
When Angel Mei Ong heard this, her mind immediately went into action. As an independent woman with an acute business sense, she immediately smelled business in front of her.
The car shop she started is actually once a low income generating car shop. But nobody knows that ever since she started, her income flow is steady. But because he keeps a low profile, she would always show that the shop is not generating enough income because of the cheap cars she is selling.
Now in front of her is a huge business with unlimited prospects. So she wanted to grab this whole piece of pie and have for herself.
"Young man, I was truly amazed by what you've shown. I will pay you the 1,000 credits demonstration; it's all worth it after all." She said changing her demeanor into a professional businesswoman.
"Well, that's why we came here, Sister Angel!" Melissa Krin said with a smile while touching her hand.
"If I never experienced what you did back there, then I would not believe that you have this kind of thing on you. So you said that the talisman cost 1,000 credits each? Not too bad for the price, I'll take no matter how much you have." Angel Mei Ong said with a smile.
She didn't want to be crafty in front of her friend Melissa Krin. She knew that Melissa Krin truly cared for her well-being because even though she hid from the rest of her friends in a different city when Melissa Krin saw her, she still inquired how she is doing and wanted to give her a hand. This touched her heart because Melissa Krin is truly a good friend.
"Haha, that's good news for me Big sister." Joe Wang said.
"But… these things are very precious and are not easy to make. So I can only provide you with 3 to 5 of these a day…" Joe Wang said then stopped to think about if he would tell her about the level 2 talismans.
With Joe Wang's silence, Angel Mei Ong curiously waited as his face donned a thinking expression.
"Umm… I actually have another kind of talisman but I'm not sure if I can sell these." Joe Wang said with reluctance.
He is not a shrewd person who is good in business, so Joe Wang didn't have any scruple in thinking about taking advantage of those he deals with. So he decided to be honest with the woman and tell her.
"I have a higher level of talisman in which the protection could last for more or less than a minute. With this, the safety of the person holding this would be assured for sixty seconds." Joe Wang said.
"If you put this in a car, it would assure that the people inside it and the car itself would not get damaged in that span of time. Hence I would price this higher level talisman at 10,000 credits each." Joe Wang said.
"What! One minute! That's already long enough to assure safety and lives. I would take those! But little brother, I think 20,000 credits are devaluing your talisman." Angel Mei Ong said truthfully.
"I would even buy it if you say 100,000 credits." She muttered.
Upon hearing her words, Joe Wang thought that it would be unreasonable. But as a cultivator, he didn't care about the price, all he wanted is enough money to be able to survive and buy things he wanted to buy. His simple mentality is due to his experience in the cultivation land and in the immortal world. Being provided with anything he wanted, it made him don't care about the price of anything he crafts. What he cared about is the experience itself and the growth of his own strength.
"Well, I'm okay with that. But let's just go with my price first. This way we won't attract unsavory characters." Joe Wang said with a smile.
"If you are willing to spend that much, then I can also make a pendant with renewable protection." Shin Jiao thought.
After hearing the pricing of the talisman, Joe Wang's mind is now thinking of making pendants with mysterious powers. Then he can sell those for higher prices and also gain more mana in his body in the process.
Either way, he would benefit greatly in crafting those things.
With this in mind, Joe Wang suddenly became excited.
"I plan to make a holder for these talismans so that you can market them easily, like a secret protection box. If those people forcefully try to pry open the box, it would activate the protection talisman inside and they would not discover anything. This way our secret would be kept." Joe Wang said.
When he said this, Angel Mei Ong showed a happy expression because she realized that if people can copy the talisman then it would be detrimental for her business.
The three people talked for a while as Melissa Krin receive the money transfer from her friend. Today they earned 66,000 credits for the 6 level-one talismans, and 3 level-two talismans.
As they were about to leave the car shop a group of men suddenly appear in front of Joe Wang and Melissa Krin. When Angel Mei Ong saw this, she was scared for her friend and immediately run to their side.
"You people! What are do you want? This is a public place… you can't be unbridled in this place!" shouted Angel Mei Ong while she stood in front of Joe Wang and Melissa Krin.
Joe Wang and Melissa Krin felt grateful for her actions and regarded her as someone trustworthy.
Upon hearing her words, the leader of the men who looks imposing with his large build, bald head, blue tank top, and ripped jeans, walked forward.
Seeing the women in front of him, his gaze turned frivolous and didn't bother with courtesy as he scanned Angle's body like she was naked. Then his gaze jumps to Melissa where he also showed a perverted look on his face.
This made the two women angry. They never thought that someone would shamelessly stare at them like that.
"I will take these two women. All of you take care of the guy." He said while licking his lips.
This big guy is famous in this area and is called Bear Xuli. He is a small group leader of a gang.
When the three heard his words, the two women immediately feel fear in their hearts. Living in a peaceful era made them unaware of the true face of the outside world. Although Angel Mei Ong is in business for a while now, yet she never has encountered something like this before because of her low key strategy.
Meanwhile, when Joe Wang heard his words he could not help himself but smile.
This is because Joe Wang is not a normal person already. His body is already enhanced and has the strength of three people, while his speed is also three times a normal person. So this fight would be him bullying the other people. But if he doesn't teach them a lesson, they would think that they can just do whatever they want and not face any consequences. Plus he still needed to protect the car shop of Angel Mei Ong.
With this in mind, if these people would not retreat, then only by disposing of these people would solve his problem. He would give them some chance, but if they didn't grab this chance, then they can't blame him for their lives.
With this in mind, he grabs Angel Mei Ong's hand and dragged her behind him. He then steps forward to protect the two girls as he looks at the people walking forward with a challenging expression on his face.
