Chapter 1077: Chapter 1076: Fatty Swallows a Stone

When Brigham Shepherd, the city lord, proposed to exchange one Superior Immortal Spirit Stone for nine Green Spirit Fruits, Yusuf Zuck’s heart clenched fiercely. To be honest, he was tempted.

Not to mention exchanging nine Green Spirit Fruits for one Superior Immortal Spirit Stone, even if it were ninety for one, he would take as many as he could get.

Because the Superior Immortal Spirit Stone couldn’t be replicated, whereas the Green Spirit Fruits could be endlessly copied.

However, Yusuf Zuck also knew that his main task today was to help Fatty exchange for that certain fossil, because Fatty had been reliable, and he had promised her, so a promise made was a promise to be kept.

"Sigh," Yusuf Zuck took a deep breath, then shook his head and said, "The City Lord, just now I have already acquired five Superior Immortal Spirit Stones, so I no longer need any more, but I heard from Fatty...I heard from Xu’er that you have a Taotie fossil?"

"Oh?" Upon hearing Yusuf Zuck’s words, Brigham Shepherd sharply raised his eyebrows; few knew about that fossil, so how did that fatty know? And he revealed it to Martin Huppe?

"What do you want the fossil for?" the City Lord asked solemnly.

"That...it’s not really useful, just for some research," Yusuf Zuck shrugged.

Brigham Shepherd suddenly chuckled, "I can give it to you, but you still need to tell me the exact location of the Green Spirit Tree, otherwise no deal!"

"That tree is truly dead," Yusuf Zuck shook his head, "So if the City Lord doesn’t want to exchange, then let’s forget about it!"

"Heh heh." Brigham Shepherd laughed and shook his head, then suddenly said again, "How about this, add one more Green Spirit Fruit, and I’ll exchange with you!" He was trying to squeeze as much as he could.

Yusuf Zuck inwardly cursed this old man as a vampire, and he also felt a shiver of fear, knowing this person’s greed. If today he truly didn’t have any Green Spirit Fruits, he would definitely have been killed right here.

He would definitely have been robbery by this man.

This Brigham Shepherd was a dangerous character, a man who would stop at nothing.

Yusuf Zuck took a deep breath; this man had connections with the Great Emperor, and thus behaved with supreme arrogance.

"Alright, City Lord, you win. If I have any good items in the future, I will definitely bring them to you. I truly wish to be friends with you," Yusuf Zuck didn’t want to argue anymore. It was just ten Green Spirit Fruits, right? He would give them!

"Whoosh." He waved his sleeve, and ten Green Spirit Fruits appeared directly on the desk.

Brigham Shepherd’s pupils contracted, and he gasped in a cold breath as he quickly scooped up the ten Green Spirit Fruits.

"Little brother, having this friendship with you makes me very happy, so very happy!" This bastard’s mood changed faster than flipping a book, directly addressing him as ’little brother.’

At the same time, he pulled out an egg-shaped fossil as big as a football, "This fossil, to be honest, is also very useful to me, but since little brother wants it, how could I not give it?"

Brigham Shepherd grinned because he had kept this stone for tens of thousands of years, though it was of no use to him, and he just collected it. However, he couldn’t say it was useless but instead expressed that it was also painful for him to part with it!

Yusuf Zuck knew exactly what this devil was thinking; thus, he chuckled and stored the fossil away: "City Lord..."

"Call me big brother. From now on, you will live in Great Emperor City, and we will be brothers of different surnames. My city is your city," Brigham Shepherd said sternly.

"Thanks for the honor, big brother!" Yusuf Zuck’s heart turned cold; this Brigham Shepherd was nothing but a scoundrel, too dangerous a man.

"Hahaha, come on, come on, the guests must be anxious already." While speaking, he even reached out to grab Yusuf Zuck’s hand.

Yusuf Zuck thought about refusing and pulling his hand back but ultimately let him hold it.

However, Brigham Shepherd was only symbolically holding his hand and didn’t make any inappropriate moves, nor tried to probe his spirit or Dantian.

When the two arrived at the garden, many people turned their heads in unison and then incredulously watched them coming hand in hand.

"This is my brother-in-arms, Martin Huppe..." Brigham Shepherd publicly declared his fraternity with Yusuf Zuck, displaying extreme affection.

At this moment, others also started to shower them with compliments, each expressing congratulations.

"Alright, let the feast begin." Brigham Shepherd seemed very pleased, and indeed he was, as he gained an unexpected ten Superior Green Spirit Fruits.

He indeed needed these Green Spirit Fruits, as he really needed to settle some matters in the Immortal Realm.

The banquet was lively, and even the City Lord ended up slightly tipsy by the end of it. It wasn’t until the early morning that the banquet came to an end, and Brigham Shepherd personally saw Yusuf Zuck and Fatty off from the City Lord’s Mansion.

This was a reception of high standard, and nobody knew the exact relation between the City Lord and this Martin Huppe.

When Yusuf Zuck and Fatty boarded the carriage, the City Lord turned and walked back to the City Lord’s Mansion, but as he walked, he ordered, "Put experts on him, don’t lose track of him, and report back everything about his movements and whom he meets. Also, find out his background; within three days, I must know everything about him, or heads will roll!"

"Yes," the steward responded immediately, clearly taken aback.

Of course, the City Lord had his plans, as he was even more greedy, not believing that the Green Spirit Tree from Oversea Immortal Mountain was dead!

Thus, his next goal was to locate that Green Spirit Tree. The reason he didn’t hurry to take action or interrogate today was that he still didn’t know Martin Huppe’s background. Besides, in his memory, there was also a Great Emperor with the surname Huppe in the Immortal Realm, so if Martin Huppe had powerful backing, it wouldn’t be good to make a move.

But if he didn’t have any backing, then he couldn’t be blamed for his actions.

So, he decided to wait another two days before acting.

...

Inside the carriage, Fatty sneered at Yusuf Zuck, while Yusuf Zuck sat with closed eyes in deep thought. Frankly speaking, today had been especially dangerous, and he had truly seen the City Lord’s greed.

This type of person was like a gluttonous snake, and Yusuf Zuck knew that the City Lord wouldn’t let him go.

"My father told me that Wade Shepherd once made three brothers, but he secretly harmed each of them. Few know this, but my father does."

"My father also mentioned that Wade Shepherd killed his own mentor!"

"My father also said that Wade Shepherd is extremely ruthless and despicable. He’s a wolf that can never be fed enough."

"Where is my fossil?" After this lengthy talk, Fatty asked about her fossil.

"Take it!" Yusuf Zuck casually tossed the fossil to her.

Fatty was startled, and the whole carriage shook three times, her flab trembling incessantly.

"The Shepherd Family has given everything to you; this is my pledge." Fatty excitedly pulled out a seal and a letter, then suddenly opened her mouth wide. With a ’slurping’ sound, she swallowed the football-sized fossil whole!

Yusuf Zuck was nearly scared out of his wits, eating a stone directly? What kind of monstrous pig was this?

"I don’t need any of them anymore, they’re yours, they’re yours; perhaps we’ll meet again!" Just after swallowing the fossil, buzzing sounds came from Fatty’s stomach, then without waiting for Yusuf Zuck to respond, she lifted the curtain and jumped out.

"I forgot to tell you, I didn’t write a divorce letter; it’s not easy to leave once married, why would I write one? Hahahaha!" Laughter echoed in Yusuf Zuck’s ears.

Yusuf Zuck fiercely pulled back the curtain to look outside, but... Fatty had vanished into thin air!

"Dammit~" Yusuf Zuck, frustrated, rolled his eyes. That fat pig had fooled him again.
