Runemaster in the Last Days novel Chapter 337

Riya truly couldn't understand what was in the mind of these people.

The world had already changed and they were still thinking about using their 'power' to make trouble from time to time.

The man who was guarding the stall looked pale. "Young Master Josh, I have already paid the guards to trade here."

"Not you, but the buyer." The man raised his chin and looked at Riya and Samuel in front of him. The guards reported to him that there were two people who seemed to have carried a lot of food into the city.

If he didn't hurry, these two people might trade the entire food with these people and at that time, he would not be able to take advantage at all.

"Buying food has to pay the guards too?" Riya asked with her eyebrows arched. While she did hear that people have to pay taxes for what they bought, but the price of the things they bought was usually has included the taxes. There was no need for them to pay taxes separately anymore.

Samuel looked at the Young Master Josh in front of him and his mind turned around. It seemed that this Young Master Josh should be the descendants of a leader in City B and he specialized in taking advantage of the situation.

"Yes." Young Master Josh nodded. "You have to pay some price to the guards aside from the payment you give to the seller."

Riya looked at Young Master Josh calmly and asked, "How much?"

"50%."

50%?

Not only Riya and Samuel who were surprised, the seller was also anxious when he heard this. Because he had been selling these things for a long time and no one came to him to trade.

He wanted food but these people didn't dare to come to him for it.

Even if he didn't ask for a high price, but it was still too much for most of the people who were suffering from lack of food and so on.

"Young Master Josh, isn't it too much?" The man asked with desperation. This was the first customer who dared to stop in front of his stalls. And from the way it looked like, Riya and Samuel has stopped in several stalls that sold jade before.

As long as his jades were good enough in the eyes of Riya and Samuel, he could get some food.

For him, these two people were basically the hope for him to eat full meal after a long time.

"I'm the one who arranged for the rules here." Young Master Josh raised his chin and sneered. "Do you think that you can trade if you don't follow the rules I set?"

Riya looked at Young Master Josh and the few guards beside him calmly. If they set the taxes normally like 5 to 10 percents, Riya was still more willing to listen to them. After all, it seemed like a normal quotation for taxes even before the world changed.

She didn't have any interest to have conflict with anyone wherever she went.

But 50%…

Riya shook her head and then looked at the seller. "How much do you want for these jades?" _{freēwēbnovel.com}
