The original god of the Jyota Jinchūriki

Chapter 75 Arrogant
"Mr. Hopkins, you can't lead the hunters any further. If you go any further, you will be deep in the Wolf Territory, and the wolves there will attack you."

"Huh? Attacking us? Well, we can just kill those animals and sell their furs as compensation for us."

"Also, Knight Amber, as a scout knight, just do your reconnaissance work and don't meddle in other people's business."

Hopkins not only didn't listen to a word of Amber's persuasion, but also accused Amber of meddling in other people's business. Despite what Hopkins said, Amber still diligently kept persuading everyone for their safety.

Ying, who saw all this, felt angry on behalf of Amber. If she were Amber, she would have abandoned these people and returned to Mondstadt long ago. People like this should be made to understand clearly how the word death is written.

"Ahhh, I can't stand it anymore. These people are just bullying Amber because she has a good personality. If it was Kaia, these people would definitely not dare to do this."

"That guy named Hopkins is already the second most annoying person in Paimon's heart!"

Along the way, Paimon was so angry about Hopkins's bullying of Amber that she didn't even have the mood to eat the apples she picked by the roadside. She just wanted someone to teach this guy named Hopkins a lesson. If she wasn't worried about Amber, Paimon would have wanted Ying to do it herself.

"Everyone, please give me some face and leave here."

Just as the hunters were about to go deeper into the Wolf Territory, they unexpectedly discovered that there was a person blocking the center of the only road in the Wolf Territory.

Hopkins was on his way to make a fortune when he was stopped by someone. He was very annoyed and asked in dissatisfaction.

"Hey, who are you?"

"It doesn't matter who I am. What matters is that an old senior asked me to expel you."

"Haha, just a brat like you who hasn't even grown all his hair yet?"

After seeing clearly who was blocking the way, Paimon gave a thumbs up to Hopkins who was shouting. This guy is really not afraid of death. Ruojin is not someone like Amber who would spoil him. If he annoyed Ruojin, Ruojin would definitely take action to teach this guy a lesson.

But it's okay. If Ruo Jin takes action, it will be a relief for Amber. Paimon now wishes Ruo Jin would punch this guy named Hopkins in the face to vent her anger.

"If it's forbidden, don't do anything yet. I will definitely persuade them to stop."

Seeing that Ruojin's eyes were getting colder and colder, Amber hurriedly stepped forward and pulled Hopkins away. In case Ruojin really attacked, Amber was not sure if she could stop Ruojin. Eula told her that Ruojin was very strong.

"Everyone, listen to me. Our Knights will definitely investigate whether the wolves that attacked Qingquan Town came from the Wolf Territory. Before that, I hope everyone can go home and wait for news instead of seeking revenge on the wolves in the Wolf Territory."

"Whether it was done by the wolves of the Wolf Territory or not, our Knights will give everyone an explanation."

Amber's sincere persuasion made many hunters waver. They followed Hopkins to the Wolf Territory to find the wolf pack just for revenge. What if the wolf pack that attacked Qingquan Town was not from the Wolf Territory? Then Qingquan Town would become a laughing stock in Mond.

Seeing that many hunters around him began to waver, Hopkins became anxious. Wolf skins have always been in short supply in Mondstadt. If he took them to Liyue to sell, the merchants in Liyue would take as many as they could. This would be much faster than him tricking people into selling "holy water" to Mora.

"Don't listen to Amber. The only place with wolves nearby is the Wolf Territory. Apart from the wolves in the Wolf Territory, where else would wolves suddenly attack Qingquan Town?" Ruojin, who was standing in front of the crowd, listened to the words of the hunters and Amber. He roughly understood what had happened. As for what Hopkins said about the wolves that attacked Qingquan Town were from the Wolf Territory, Ruojin sneered. With the Wolf King around, it was impossible for the wolf pack from the Wolf Territory to attack a group of ordinary people.

Seeing that the group of hunters were preparing to move forward again, Amber was so anxious that he spoke much faster. In order not to make things difficult for Amber, Ruojin clapped his hands to focus everyone's attention on him.

"If I heard correctly, you are all from Qingquan Town, right? Then, do you know the Ke family caravan that recently came to buy pork from Qingquan Town?"

"The Ke family caravan, I know it. It's the caravan that pays very fair prices for its prey."

"Yes, yes. Every time they come, they bring some Liyue goods to sell in Qingquan Town. I also bought a new quilt for my baby."

Ruo Jin's words sparked a small heated discussion among the hunters. All the hunters present knew that the Ke family caravan had recently set up a base in Qingquan Town.

"Now that you all know, everything will be easy. Let me introduce myself. My name is Ruo Jin, and I am half a member of the Ke family. I arranged for the Ke family's caravan to go to Qingquan Town to purchase all kinds of prey."

"I think a lot of hunters in Clear Springs saw me when I went to Mr. Draw's house that day."

Some hunters who had actually seen Ruojin that day nodded. They also heard Mr. Durav mention that the Ke family caravan was able to come thanks to the guests that day. When Hopkins heard Ruojin reveal his identity, he suddenly had a bad premonition.

"Now that everyone knows my identity, I want to tell you that since I can allow the caravan to purchase prey in Qingquan Town, I can naturally prevent the caravan from ever setting foot in Qingquan Town again."

"If you insist on staying in Benlang Territory today, then your descendants will have to risk their lives hunting like you, instead of living a relatively wealthy life by raising livestock in Qingquan Town."

To the hunters, what Ruojin said was no less than hearing the Wind Dragon attacking Mondstadt. The reason they risked their lives to go out hunting was for their wives and children. If they angered Ruojin, the God of Wealth, today, wouldn't they become sinners of Qingquan Town?

The hunters saw the interests involved clearly. They looked at each other and took a few steps back, exposing Hopkins to Ruo Jin. Hopkins' face turned pale when he saw the hunters' actions.

"Tsk, it seems that this gentleman is the mastermind. I have to say that you are very good at inciting people's emotions, but inciting emotions is useless."

"To get involved you need to have strength and background. What's your name?"

Ruojin stood in front of Hopkins and looked straight into his eyes. His expression without any emotion frightened Hopkins so much that his legs trembled.

"My name is Hopkins, and everyone calls me the Magical Hopkins."

Hopkins' name made Ruo Jin laugh disdainfully. He reached out and gently patted Hopkins' face, saying sarcastically.

"Haha, it turns out to be a little punk."
