146: You want to compete with me in wealth?
"Then what are you standing there for?"
Su Jue frowned.
"Oh! Oh, oh!"
The bartender snapped out of his daze and hurriedly took down a bottle of liquid sealed in an unknown crystal from the top shelf of the wine cabinet, which emitted a rainbow-colored glow.
"Tears of Stars! The most expensive wine in this shop! One glass... is one million federation coin!"
He carefully poured a glass for Su Jue.
Then he looked at that Purple Thunder Radiant Heart Crystal, his expression looking more pained than if he were crying.
"Um... this... young master..."
He really didn't know how to address Su Jue.
"We... we can't provide change for this..."
This crystal was worth at least fifty million!
Where was he supposed to find that much money for change?
Su Jue picked up the glass and took a small sip.
A surge of spicy energy, carrying a hint of the aura of laws, exploded in his mouth.
"The taste is average."
He gave his evaluation and then pushed the glass in front of Capybara.
"You drink it."
Capybara: "..."
Hey, hey, hey? I'm just a Capybara!
Su Jue didn't even glance at the crystal and said indifferently, "Keep the change."
"It's a tip for you."
"!!!!!"
The bartender felt like he had been knocked unconscious by a massive bomb of happiness!
A... a tip for me?
My god!
Fifty million! Just tipped to me like that?!
He felt like he was dreaming!
The surrounding patrons' gazes toward the bartender were instantly filled with jealousy, envy, and... greed!
In particular, that werewolf mercenary's breathing became heavy!
However, just at that moment.
An arrogant and overbearing voice came from the VIP box on the second floor of the bar.
"Where did this bumpkin come from, showing off his wealth here?"
"It's just a worthless stone; how do you have the face to bring it out and embarrass yourself?"
Everyone followed the sound.
They saw a young man dressed magnificently, with a handsome face but eyes full of arrogance and contempt, slowly walking downstairs surrounded by a group of bodyguards.
The emblem on his chest, composed of three crossed swords and a burning flame, caused everyone's expression to change instantly!
The Li Family!
The uncrowned kings of Lihuo Star No. 3!
And this young man was precisely the Mayor of Star River City's pampered youngest son—Li Tianyu!
He was also a direct bloodline descendant of the Capital Li Family.
Li Tianyu walked to the bar and glanced contemptuously at the Purple Thunder Radiant Heart Crystal.
Then, he snapped his fingers.
A bodyguard behind him immediately stepped forward and placed a metal suitcase on the bar.
The box opened.
"Buzz—!"
A piercing golden light instantly illuminated the entire bar!
A full suitcase!
Every single one was a perfectly cut, higher-quality... Grade 8 source crystal! [Heart of the Blazing Sun]!
The value of this suitcase was at least over a billion!
Li Tianyu looked at Su Jue with eyes that treated him like trash.
"See that, bumpkin?"
"This is what it means to be rich."
"Now, take your worthless stone and your pets and... get out!"
"Don't dirty my eyes by staying here."
Li Tianyu's voice was arrogant to the extreme.
He was already used to manifesting his status and wealth in this way.
In the past, as long as he revealed his identity and financial power, anyone would just kneel and submit.
He enjoyed this feeling very much.
However, today, he had miscalculated.
Su Jue looked at him as if he were looking at a monkey jumping up and down.
"Finished talking?"
Su Jue asked in a childish, milky voice.
Li Tianyu frowned; he didn't like this Infant's gaze, which felt even more arrogant than his own.
"It seems you don't want to leave?"
Li Tianyu sneered and waved his hand to the bodyguards behind him.
"Throw him and those animals of his into the trash incinerator."
"Yes, Young Master!"
Two burly bodyguards, whose auras had reached the First Layer of Supernatural Power Realm, walked toward Su Jue with wicked grins.
The atmosphere in the bar instantly dropped to the freezing point.
Everyone knew that this reckless Infant... was dead for sure today.
Having offended the Li Family, no one on this planet could save him.
The bartender was so scared his face turned pale, and he hid under the bar, trembling.
"Wait a moment."
Su Jue suddenly spoke.
The two bodyguards paused and looked at him mockingly.
"What? Kid, are you scared? It's too late to beg for mercy now!"
Su Jue ignored them.
He simply turned his head and looked at Li Tianyu.
"You are very rich?"
"Heh." Li Tianyu acted as if he had heard a huge joke. "My money is enough to buy the lives of commoners like you ten thousand times over!"
"Oh."
Su Jue nodded, seemingly understanding something.
Then, under everyone's puzzled gazes.
He... began to pull something out of his pocket again.
Li Tianyu crossed his arms with a face full of ridicule.
What?
Did he want to pull out another stone to compete with him?
How ridiculous.
However, in the next second.
The ridicule on Li Tianyu's face completely froze.
Su Jue slowly pulled... a Grade 11 fruit... out of the pocket of his small animal onesie pajamas!
The moment that fruit appeared.
All the energy within a thousand-meter radius of the entire bar was easily suppressed.
The brilliant neon lights turned dim.
The roar of aircraft engines came to an abrupt halt.
The bar fell into an eerie, deathly silence.
Everyone felt like their hearts were about to stop, and even breathing became incredibly difficult.
That was a shiver originating from biological instinct!
It was absolute awe toward a higher level of Life!
"What... what is this..."
The color drained rapidly from Li Tianyu's face.
That suitcase of [Heart of the Blazing Sun] he was so proud of was like the difference between a firefly and the bright moon in front of this fruit!
No!
It couldn't even be considered a firefly!
At most, it was just a pile of glowing stones!
"Ding!"
Su Jue himself didn't know what this thing was; he had just taken it from the pile of trash Zero had thrown out earlier.
In his mind, the system issued a sharp alarm!
[Warning! Out-of-specification item detected!]
[Item Name: star dao fruit (Grade 11)!]
[Effect: A supreme divine object condensed from the entire origin of a dying star over billions of years of time under the tempering of universal laws! It contains a wisp of 'Star Law'!]
[Note: Even if a Saint Realm Expert were to directly swallow this fruit, their divine soul would be burst by the violent power of laws within it, and they would perish on the spot!]
[Devouring Suggestion: ...]
[The system is calculating...]
[Calculation failed! The Host is advised to please do not be impulsive! Otherwise, even if the Dragon Emperor himself were to arrive, he could only collect your remains!]
"Even a Saint Realm Expert would die from eating it?"
Su Jue smacked his lips.
It seemed this thing was even more intense than he had imagined.
He weighed the [star dao fruit] in his hand as if he were weighing an apple.
Then he looked at Li Tianyu, who was now completely stunned.
"What did you call this just now?"
Su Jue pointed at the suitcase of shimmering golden stones on the bar.
