Chapter 1028 - Colossal Tower (2)
Over the next few days, Yuan and the Huang Family would return to the Colossal Tower early in the morning to exchange treasures until it was late at night.
As the days got closer to the day of the Tournament of Strength, there were noticeable more giants that were above 15 meters walking around the city.
"At this rate, I will be done with my business by tonight." Huang Chen said to Yuan as they left one of the stores in the Colossal Tower.
"Yuan, you know you can exchange treasures with the giants if you want. It would be a shame to leave this place without a souvenir, too." Huang Xiao Li said to him.
"It's really fine. I don't have any treasures to exchange, anyways." He shook his head.
He obviously had plenty of treasures for trade, but since this was only a trial and nothing was real, he wouldn't actually gain anything from exchanging treasures, and such actions would only cause him to lose a treasure without anything in return.
At the end of the day, Yuan and the Huang Family made their way towards the exit of the Colossal Tower after Huang Chen exchanged the last treasure he had.
"Now that I am done with my business, there's only the Tournament of Strength left before we head back home." Huang Chen said.
And he continued, "Thank you, Yuan, for all of your effort. Really, I cannot thank you enough for everything you have done for my family."
"I am just doing my job."
"No, you've done more than that. I will compensate you properly once we get back to the hotel. I have the best reward for you."
Once they exited the Colossal Tower, Yuan's group came to a sudden halt when a group of giants wearing armor blocked their way.
"What's happening?" Huang Xiao Li looked around with an uneasy face.
However, before Huang Chen could even say anything, a familiar voice resounded, "That's them! They're the ones that are conspiring against the Giant Emperor!"
Yuan turned to look at the voice to see a human woman pointing at them with a terrified look on her face.
It was Zou Nuying, the bandit who became the Huang Family's bodyguard to steal their treasures.
'She followed us all the way here? How did I not notice her?' Yuan wondered inwardly.
"I will need all of you to come with me. We will kill you if you resist." One of the giants there said to them in a cold voice.
"Wait! This is a huge misunderstanding! That woman is lying! She's actually a bandit that we failed to kill when she tried to steal from my family! She's part of an infamous group of bandits called the Gold and Money Bandits! We only came here to exchange treasures!" Huang Chen exclaimed with a pale face.
"Hmph! I don't care about your situation! We take all accusations that could bring harm to His Majesty very seriously! We will determine whether you are telling the truth or not once we interrogate you!"
"Resist and we will kill you on the spot!" The giants pointed their massive weapons at Yuan's group.
