Chapter 1248: I'll Need my Change

"Motherf*cker! How dare you call me an idiot! Apologize now or you're dead!" Ottle barked.

As the young master of the Rothschild household, there was no one who dared not treat him with respect. Chen Xiaobei was the first person ever to call him an idiot!

The crowd gawped at Chen Xiaobei's audacity.

But Chen Xiaobei was calm as ever, and not the slightest bit intimidated at all. There was no way he was going to apologize.

"Uncle Jiu! Can you see it now? Birds of the same feather flock together! Just look at the kind of friends Focker makes!" Ottle said, putting on a grim look. "Let's settle this problem once and for all while Uncle Jiu is here! This bugger embezzled the Rothschild's property! He must be punished! And because Focker made friends with a thief and brought shame to our family, he is sentenced to five years of house arrest!"

Ottle was wanted to use this opportune time while Elder Jiu was present, to bring Chen Xiaobei and Focker down!

But Elder Jiu was cool-headed and unbiased towards Ottle.

"Ottle! Stop talking!" Elder Jiu said. "The young man said that he's here to pay us back! If he does, then we'll just forget about it!"

Ottle had accused Chen Xiaobei of embezzlement, but if Chen Xiaobei paid them back, then it would confirm that he was just borrowing the money from them. They were both entirely different matters altogether!

He did not believe that Chen Xiaobei had the money to pay them back, and still wanted to make his life more difficult even after Elder Jiu was willing to show mercy on him.

"Uncle Jiu! Don't believe his lies! This guy is only paying us back because he knows that we are investigating Focker. Why would he pay him back after just one day? He's bluffing!"

Ottle was like a mad dog who would not let go off the bone. Unless Chen Xiaobei died in his hands, he would never let go!

He was insinuating that if Chen Xiaobei did not pay them back, he would be a liar! And if Chen Xiaobei did pay them back, he would be then admitting defeat! Either way, he would never forgive Chen Xiaobei.

Even then, under such preposterous accusations, Chen Xiaobei remained unruffled. "I already said that 100 billion is nothing to me. It's not even worth embezzling!"

"Please! Stop your acting already! Let me ask you. If you are so rich, why did you borrow the money from Focker? Doesn't that negate everything you said?"

"Who told you that just because a person doesn't care for 100 billion RMB, he is a rich person? I borrowed Focker's money because I don't have cash..."

But before Chen Xiaobei could finish his sentence, Ottle cut in.

"Uncle Jiu! Did you hear that? Everyone heard that right? This person here just admitted that he has no cash!" Ottle's eyebrows and voice were raised as he announced, "I told you! This guy is a poor son of a bitch! He has stolen from us Rothschilds! This is conclusive evidence!"

The crowd nodded in unison, all agreeing with what Ottle had said.

Elder Jiu frowned. As he looked at Chen Xiaobei and Focker, he could feel the anger well up inside him. He had fallen for Ottle's claims.

Even Lin Nan's face had turned blue. Chen Xiaobei confessed that he had no money! Everything he had insisted about Chen Xiaobei was now defunct!

"Sigh... Never mind. I won't try to explain myself anymore..." Chen Xiaobei sighed.

Then he took out an item and said, "I'll need change for this!"

"What... What is that? Is that a Spiritual Stone? But why is it so big..."

Everyone's eyes were glued to the stone in Chen Xiaobei's hand.

The crystal was about the size of a fist. From the way it shined, it's quality, and Spiritual Aura, you could tell that it was a Spiritual Stone.

But the Spiritual Stones on earth were only as big as a coin. None of them had even seen such a Spiritual Stone of this size before. Because of that, they doubted its genuity.

"This kid really is a fraud! He's trying to pass a rock off as a Spiritual Stone? He thinks we're so easily fooled!" Ottle sniggered.

"You really are a fool!" It was Elder Jiu who scolded Ottle this time!

"Huh?" Ottle had not expected this. "Uncle Jiu, why'd you scold me for?"

"Move aside!" Elder Jiu shoved Ottle away from his path and walked towards Chen Xiaobei, bending down to examine the crystal.

Everyone's gaze turned to the crystal!

Elder Jiu's unusual reaction could only mean that this crystal was something extraordinary!

"My god..." Elder Jiu inhaled sharply. "This is a medium-grade Spiritual Stone!"

The crowd began to chatter.

"It's a real Spiritual Stone! I've never seen such a big one like this before!"

"You're not the only one! Even if you search the whole world, I don't think you'll ever be able to find another one like this! None of us has ever seen this before!"

"Elder Jiu mentioned 'medium-grade'! What does that mean?"

"Yeah! Elder Jiu, why don't you explain to us a little?"

They were all very eager to know about the Spiritual Stone in Chen Xiaobei's hands.

"Uncle Jiu... What is it?" asked Ottle, who had a pained expression on his face.

"I saw a medium-grade Spiritual Stone once in the house of one of the demigods we Rothschilds serve!" said Elder Jiu. "The Spiritual Stones we normally see on earth are low-grade Spiritual Stones! One medium-grade Spiritual Stone is equivalent to 100 low-grade Spiritual Stones! That would be equivalent to 1 trillion RMB!"

"What! 1 trillion!!"

The people gasped.

All eyes were on the stone in Chen Xiaobei's palm.

If this statement had not come from Elder Jiu's own mouth, no one would have believed that the crystal in Chen Xiaobei's hand was worth 1 trillion yuan!"

All at once, the people understood why Chen Xiaobei said that 100 billion was nothing. He was indeed boasting but he was telling the truth as well!

"Wow! Brother-in-law! You really are tooooooooo awesome..."

Lin Nan was completely taken aback, staring at Chen Xiaobei like he was looking at a god, adoration written all over his face.

Chen Xiaobei looked at Ottle and laughed, "Idiot! Stop staring and give me my change! 990 billion RMB. Pease transfer them now!"

"I..." Ottle's tongue refused to work.

He was not short on money but he did not have that amount of money sitting in his bank account! How could he possibly transfer such a ludicrous amount now?

"Why? Can't the young master of the Rothschild family fork out the money?"

Chen Xiaobei raised his eyebrows at Ottle. "Let me return the name you gave to me, you poor son of a bitch!"
