Calida gave a brief introduction of what had happened.
Hearing this, Gardiner was able to figure out the reason.
The Divine Race was very powerful, and the Sixth Tribe was even one of the most powerful tribes.
The Divine Race had been bullying the Human Race for a long time, but the last time the Immortal King showed up, the Divine Race stopped bullying humans, and the status of the two races was gradually restored to balance.
This time around, however, many members of the Divine Race were jealous about this treasure fair.
In the past few years, quite a few inheritances had been released. However, the number of cultivators had increased, and there was no lack of treasures.
This time, the Divine Race actually secretly took action several times to steal things. Of course, the Divine Race did not do anything excessive. After the things were taken away, some Spiritual Stones were left to compensate them.
Even though there were some who didn't want to sell, due to the Divine Race's intimidation, they still swallowed the insult and humiliation. Even though the human race had the Immortal King, no one could guarantee that the Immortal King would stand up for them because of this matter. Moreover, what will happen after the Immortal King stood up for them?
If one day the one walked out of Dragon City and was targeted by the Divine Race, it was very likely that he would lose his life! Thus, on the surface, the Divine Race and the Human Race had the same status, but in certain small circles, the Human Race still did not dare to provoke the Divine Race.
This time things were stolen. It was no surprise that the stall owner did not refund the money... Gardiner asked Calida to take him to the stall owner.
The stall owner was a middle-aged man with an average cultivation level. He didn't have much status in Dragon City. When he saw Gardiner, his face was extremely ugly.
"My Lord, when the Divine Race took it, they said the lady had already paid for them, and I..." The owner spread out both hands with a grievance face.
"Nonsense!"
Calida shouted at once, "We don't know the so-called Divine Race. How can we pay for them?"
The stall owner did not explain and just looked at Gardiner.
Gardiner nodded silently. "The person from the Divine Race who stole things from you, what is his name?"
"Amelio Shangguan."
The stall owner uttered the name.
Gardiner had heard a lot of Amelio Shangguan recently. Since
Decio Shangguan's death, Amelio regarded himself as the first genius of the Sixth Tribe in Dragon City, and he often swaggered around. Anyway, he felt that as long as he did not break the rules, the Immortal King would not do anything to him.
After Amelio stole the herbs, he didn't leave Dragon City. Instead, he just stayed there without any fear.
When Gardiner, Sylvia and Calida found Amelio, he was sitting in a restaurant, enjoying fine wine and delicacies, which made him very happy.
"Hey."
When Amelio saw Gardiner coming aggressively, he got up directly and pushed away the two maids beside him. He stared at Gardiner with a smile and said, "You are Gardiner, aren't you?"
Gardiner raised his eyebrows. He didn't like the way he spoke, and when he looked at Amelio's sneer. He knew that Amelio did it on purpose.
"I'm your master!"
Gardiner directly took out the Great Dragon's Mace. "Amelio, hand over the thing and don't make trouble."
"Thing?"
Amelio looked puzzled. He took out a dark green herb and put it in his hand. With a puzzled look, he said, "This? Gardiner, I don't understand what you're talking about."
"You and I are both sensible people."
Gardiner, holding the Dragon's Mace, said, "It's not good for you if you make a big deal out of it!"
"Make a big deal out of it?"
"How?"
Amelio sneered. "On this island, the law of the jungle is decided by the strong. Since I have it in my hand, of course, it's mine. How could I hand it over?"
