When Wei Cheng stepped out of the pawn shop, he noticed that the tightly shut main door of the building next door had mysteriously opened, revealing a dark room within.
No shop-owner was in sight. However, Wei Cheng could distinctly feel a cold stare fixed upon him, looking at him as if he were a dead man.
The common principle of not flaunting wealth was understood by all.
Yet Wei Cheng displayed the Fire Spirit Stone in his hand openly.
What's this supposed to mean?
A provocation?
Just because you've now become the Capital Commandant of East City, and have just sealed Chi Yao by chance, do you think you've become invincible?
We're sorry, but we'll not cater to your whims!
Wei Cheng seemed unfazed by this, simply carrying on with long strides.
Yes, this is a provocation.
In certain situations, where no cooperation is possible, nor any chance of it, there's no point in further discussions.
A quick resolution is preferable to avoiding prolonged disputes.
