Chapter 748 No Evidence On The Table


    Willie hated lies, especially the ones that were so ridiculous. Yet here he was, having to deal with such


    from the man who had shown up at his doorstep. "Butler Willie, have you finished? In my opinion, you


    don''t have to pretend. Apparently, the Magical Beast House sold me a sick beast," the ck-bearded


    man beat the gang and shouted impatiently. The man looked like someone who knew he was lying


    through his teeth. A fraud, trying to hustle the Magical Beast House out a healthy beast they had sold


    him. And the swindler was gutsy into the bargain. Even if he knew Willie could sniff out his lies, the ego


    would not let him apologize.


    "Sir, don''t worry. We''ll finish in a minute. Go to the mansion and ask Master Harry toe here." Willie


    hesitated, before calling out with a worried face.


    Soon, a young man in a green robe and square face walked in. He looked simple and honest, and his


    every move was steady.


    "Master Harry, the customer bought this baby Heaven Prestigious Tiger from us the day before


    yesterday, but it fell ill, after only two days. Do you know what might have happened?" Willie asked.


    The young man was Harry, a disciple of Raef. Raef usually epted many disciples for training. But


    they only learned basic skills then left to start their own life. Some used the skills acquired under him,


    for sustenance, by treating beasts. Only a small number of disciples still stayed here to work for the


    Xiao n. Harry was one of those who stayed on. With his excellent work ethic, he put in extra effort,


    every day to study the art of Beast Curing Skill. As a result, Raef grew fond of him. Now he was the first

    beast tamer in the Magical Beast House.


    "Okay." Harry nodded and went to check on the Heaven Prestigious Tiger.


    "Master Harry is one of our promising disciples from the Xiao n who has also inherited many of our


    chief. He is the most skilled beast curer of our Magical Beast House. I''m sure he can tell what''s wrong


    with your spirit-manipted beast," Willie said to the man with a ck beard on purpose, giving him a


    hint.


    "Oh, really? Then let me see how powerful he is." Willie had intimidated the man into some semnce


    of sanity. But inside, the man was on pins and needles, especially from the time Harry came in.


    Meanwhile, someone else was watching the man''s exaggerated mannerisms. What the ck-bearded


    man had done did not escape the eyes of Rocky.


    "Did this guy do it on purpose? To scam the Magical Beast House..." murmured Rocky.


    At first, Harry performed basic Beast Evaluation Skill on the baby Heaven Prestigious Tiger. He


    determined its aptitude and checked if there was anything wrong. Then he began to assess its body,


    but after several tests, he found nothing out of ce.


    ''Are you the number one beast curer in the Magical Beast House? You are just so ordinary.'' Shaking


    his head, Rockyughed in his heart.


    "Master Harry, what do you think?" looking at the ck-bearded man who was sitting cross-legged on


    the chair, Willie asked in a low voice.


    "It''s strange that I can''t find a single sign of illness on the Heaven Prestigious Tiger, nor any injury on it.


    Maybe, it could be something to do with internal injuries. But how did that happen?" Harry nced at


    the man and walked to the other side of the room.


    Willie immediately followed him.


    "Master Harry, has this spirit-manipted beast been intentionally harmed?" Willie whispered. From


    experience, Willie was used to this kind of thing in Magical Beast House. Often, some crafty individuals


    would buy a spirit-manipted beast, only to harm it and return it with the aim of extortion. So when he


    heard Harry say that the baby Heaven Prestigious Tiger had nothing wrong with it, he understood. The


    ck-bearded man must have done something fishy, hoping to im a huge sum of money in


    No matter how smart these guys were, the beast curers of the Xiao n would still be able to see


    through their schemes. Otherwise, the Magical Beast House wouldn''t have earned its famous


    reputation.


    "The spirit-manipted beast may have been poisoned. Let''s wait and see if our suspicionse


    true..." Harry guessed.


    "Alright, then. Please have a try as soon as possible. If this guy is just a fraud, I will not spare him,"


    Willie said, seething with fury, but trying his best to keep calm until they established the truth.


    Harry nodded. Then he asked someone to get the tools for testing poison.


    They didn''t need to break a sweat about that, because the Magical Beast House had already


    developed specialized tools and techniques to test whether a spirit-manipted beast was poisoned.


    Those bent on swindling the Magical Beast House were fond of using specific poison, which made a


    spirit-manipted beast sick with various symptoms but difficult to diagnose. In general, this kind of


    poison was tested by blood samples from the affected beast.


    Harry got to work quickly. With the use of silver needles, he took samples from the sick Heaven


    Prestigious Tiger. However, the test turned out negative, with no trace of the suspected poison.


    Seeing Harry failed to detect poison with silver needles, the bearded man smiled smugly.


    "Did he use incense?" Harry muttered. Incense was anothermon poison the swindlers were fond


    of. Its toxicity was quite mild, but over a long time, it would manifest in simrplications as the


    spirit-manipted beast was showing.


    To test for this, Harry sent forvender leaves. But when he put the leaves in front of the Heaven


    Prestigious Tiger, there was still no effect.


    Later, Harry tried several more methods, but the Heaven Prestigious Tiger didn''t get any better or seem


    to be poisoned.


    "This is the first time I''m seeing something like this." Harry shook his head at Willie. Apparently, he was


    at a loss.


    The other three beast curers nodded as well.


    ''I don''t know whether it is an airtight trick. Or it could be, these guys are too lousy to figure out such a


    simple issue. This fellow is smart as a whip. The method he used is very simple, but it might leave


    these so-called beast curers helpless, '' Rocky wondered to himself. Rocky really wanted to save the


    Heaven Prestigious Tiger''s life, but he didn''t want to expose himself.


    "Don''t waste time. I have more important things to attend to," the ck-beard man thundered, like the


    excitable person he had been earlier. He seemed to have nned this for a long time. He immediately


    stood up from his seat, looking very angry.


    "Wait a minute, sir!" Willie tried to pacify him.


    "What are you waiting for? The Magical Beast House sold a sick beast to me, but you pretended to be


    innocent. Do you think I''m easy to bully? Forget it. I''m in a good mood today. I won''t ask you for ten


    thousand taels. That''s a lot of bucks that could leave holes in your pockets. So I''ll just be a gentleman,


    and cut it down to five thousand," the man said as he raised his hand.


    "But you checked the beast before I sold it to you. If it were a sick beast, you would have known, and


    wouldn''t have taken it," Willie exined.


    "Who knows if you had done something fishy to it before you sold?" retorted the man. It was apparent


    the guy hade here with malicious intentions. He did not even pause to understand what Willie was


    saying.


    "You..." Although Willie was pretty sure that the man was a fraud, he couldn''t bring any evidence on the


    table. Now, his face darkened at the thought of someone trying to swindle him.
