The Prince Who Was Raised in Hell

Chapter 44

The restaurant’s shopkeeper was the closest to Alder, and he could see the scene the clearest among them.

He stared wide-eyed as Fiona chewed on the monster meat and bones easily in a few bites.

He was astonished as the chefs could not cut open the bones with a cleaver, and they must use an ax to cut the meat!

Fiona‘s mouthful of pearly whites was like a guillotine.

At this moment, the shopkeeper only felt his neck getting cold.

Besides, the shopkeeper knew well that although monster meat was a great source of vital energy for the warriors, it was challenging to digest due to its toughness.

Despite owning big woks in the restaurant, the chefs still needed to continuously cook the monster meat for two days and two nights for it to be cooked through.

However, an ordinary warrior might need around eight days to fully digest the dishes, yet the young man in front of him seemed to have a black hole in his belly.

Fiona devoured every dish that appeared before him, and he did not look as if he was full either.

Fiona took a crab as big as a washbowl and gnawed on it.

Not only did he finish eating the crabmeat, but he even crunched on the crab shell too.Everyone stared at him in disbelief as Fiona acted as if the shell was just a crunchy biscuit.

The shopkeeper had never seen that scene before.

There were no words to describe the surprise he was feeling this time.

The young man in front of him was a monster!

How could that be a human? He was a humanoid monster!

He might even be scarier than a humanoid monster!

After observing for a while, the shopkeeper frowned slightly.

Then, he dismissed the waiter and asked him to serve the other customers.

Next, he pondered for a moment before approaching Edgar.

Finally, be greeted Fiona tentatively, “Gentleman, may I know your name?”

“Hmm?” Fiona looked at the shopkeeper.

The shopkeeper instantly felt a hint of pressure from Fiona’s gaze, and he was so nervous that he hurriedly introduced himself, “I’m the owner of this Mystical Guest Restaurant.”

Although Fiona was somewhat unhappy as the shopkeeper bothered him, he was still the restaurant’s owner.

Moreover, Fiona was eating here, and he was not in a rush, so he just nodded slightly.

“What’s the matter?”

“I’d like to ask if you’re using the monster meat to replenish your Qi and blood as well as strengthening your body?” The shopkeeper asked.

Fiona gave him an angry look It was such an obvious matter, yet the owner still asked him about it.

Hence, it was apparent that he had something to talk about with Alder, so Fiona just replied with a hum.

Fiona’s indifferent attitude did not push away the shopkeeper.

Instead, he laughed and asked, “May I sit here?”

“This is your restaurant.

Can I say otherwise? What’s the need to be so mysterious?” Fiona asked straightforwardly.

“Since you’re so direct, then I won’t beat around the bushes anymore.” The shopkeeper’s eyes lit up, took a seat beside Alder, and continued questioning, “Since you’re replenishing your Qi and blood, do you know about blood essence?”

Fiona nodded and glanced at the shopkeeper.

“I do. This content belongs to Nô/velDra/ma.Org .

It’s a valuable medicine that can help a warrior replenish their Qi and blood, and it’s sold in the Oceans Chamber of Commerce.

I just came from there.”

“Then, do you know that blood essence not only has the monster essence but also a lot of medicinal ingredients? The effect of it is much stronger than directly swallowing monster meat?” The shopkeeper asked again.

Seeing the shopkeeper asking him many questions but not mentioning his purpose at all, Fiona stopped in his act and looked at the shopkeeper.

Then, he showed a faint smile.

“I’m sure you know how much a bottle of blood essence is.

If I can afford it, why would I still choose to eat the flesh? Since you’re asking me this way, do you have a way to buy blood essence at a low price?”

Fiona said that so that the shopkeeper would leave him alone.

However, when the shopkeeper heard him say that, he inched closer to Fiona with a mysterious expression, and he whispered, “What if I have away?”

Fiona was surprised, and he stared at the shopkeeper.

In an instant, the shopkeeper could sense the air surrounding them frozen.

It was as if an invisible hand appeared from the void, grasping on his throat, causing him to feel breathless.

The shopkeeper was suddenly filled with fear.

The teenager in front of him was as simple as he imagined.

His aura was so terrifying!

Fiona quickly controlled his mannerism, and the shopkeeper also finally felt fresh air flow into his lungs.

Then, Fiona glanced at the shopkeeper and asked calmly, “Oh? How does it work?”

The shopkeeper did not dare to speak so casually as before anymore.

He quickly adjusted his expression and carefully looked around the area.

Then, when he was sure that no one was paying attention to them, the shopkeeper whispered, “Well, I’m going, to be honest with you.

I have a way for you to purchase cheaper blood essence.

Although its effect might not be as great as the Oceans Chamber of Commerce’s, it’s much cheaper.

One bottle only cost this much.”

As he said that, he showed a six-figure gesture, implying that a bottle only cost 600 fedulings.

He paused for a while and continued, “The price is less than 30% of the Oceans Chamber of Commerce’s blood essence, but the effect is not less than 50%… No… 60% of the Oceans Chamber of Commerce’s blood essence!”

Fiona secretly calculated and immediately understood that if the shopkeeper was not lying to him, this was indeed a good way.

Even though he was interested, Fiona did not show it on his face.

Instead, his tone was still unfriendly as he asked, “Why should I trust you?”

“You’re not Evergreen Town’s local, right?” The shopkeeper suddenly changed the topic and chuckled.

“Are you saying I look gullible?” Fiona narrowed his eyes, sending a signal of danger.

The shopkeeper quickly received the signal and anxiously waved his hands.

“Don’t worry.

Let me explain it to you.

Besides, have you seen a liar with a fixed business? I’m just an ordinary man who runs this restaurant, and I’m not even a martial artist.

Moreover, you’re a warrior.

How idiotic would I be to trick a warrior? I’d never sacrifice my restaurant’s great business just to lie to you once and run away, leaving my business behind after that, right?”

“Mm… Continue.” Realizing that the shopkeeper was making sense, Fiona nodded and motioned him to go on.

It was apparent that the shopkeeper regarded Fiona as a client, so he explained it in detail.

Through the shopkeeper’s description, Fiona finally understood that blood essence was not only sold in the Oceans Chamber of Commerce.

However, the blood essence sold there would be the best in Evergreen Town.

There were also other families and business owners that would sell the blood essence.

The blood essence was first sold by the Oceans Chamber of Commerce in Evergreen Town.

Then, the other families and business owners purchased the blood essence and analyzed the monster’s essence and its medicinal ingredients.

After that, they used similar materials to imitate the blood essence.

Hence, its status appeared unverified, so they could only sell the blood essence in secret.

The only place to purchase the blood essence would be the old town’s ruin near Evergreen Town.
