Protagonist?Antagonist? I Reject Both

Chapter 10: 10:Differnce Between Protagonist And Side Character

"Hey, bro calm down. I am the first one to ask for that."Leon said calmly while keeping his eye on the man.

A string of text floated above the man's head.

Name:William Smith

Realm:None

Age:21

Protagonist Template:Treasure Hunting Type

"So what? It's not as if your name is written on it. Step aside kid," William snorted and looked at the old man.

"But he said it's not for sale," Leon asked, rolling his eyes towards the old man wanting to see how the old man reacts now.

"Boss, I need it badly. Please give it to me."William pretended to be desperate.

And much to Leon's surprise, the old man just kept staring at the guy instead of speaking the line not for sale.

'What the hell? Is this what face-slapping feels like?'

The old man scrutinized both the young man and fell into deep contemplation.

"Extend both of your hands."

Leon and William followed the old man's instructions. The old man pressed his thumbs on both of their wrists and closed his eyes.

Leon felt a cool refreshing feeling coursing through his body as the old man pressed his thumb on Leon's first.

At first, his brows furrowed with shock and then a frown appeared.

An Hogan then stared at William.

"You take it."An Hogan spoke looking at William.

"Great!"William screamed in joy.

"Wait! What happened suddenly? From your words, it looked as if you didn't want to sell this to me. I am also in need of this desperately."

The old man Hogan gave Leon a sharp gaze and asked"Do you know what it is?"

"It's Chinese ginseng," Leon answered confidently.

He didn't know what it was but seeing something growing below the soil in the pot, he made a rough guess.

It's not as if he would be punished if his assumption is wrong.

"Close enough but it's not. It's a Morning SunDew herb. For this, the essence of ginseng is extracted and used to nourish the blades of the Sun grass. It is Yang's medicine that has a tremendous effect on males, fills them with vitality, and cures hidden diseases. You seem to have certain symptoms of poisoning that are lowering your yang causing disharmony and seem to need this."

"Yes!"Leon nodded his head.

'It seems my guess was correct.This guy was poisoned but it was not killing.'

"You know, I need to have this for a cure so why aren't you giving me? I am prepared to pay anything."

"It's because you are not worth it."The old man Hogan gave Leon a blank expression, making William laugh.

"What do you mean, I am not worth it?''Leon asked loudly.

"It's what I said. You don't have much prospect. With this trashy body of yours, you can't even reach Martial Disciple and this thing would be wasted, but it's different for the young man. Moreover, this thing might not be used for later stages but taking this when you are in the Body Enhancement realm or before cultivating will help you build a robust foundation that is of no use to you as you don't have much prospect."

Hearing this, William raised his chin proudly and gave Leon a sneer.

"But..."Leon tried to plead.

"I don't care about your condition. I don't sympathize because I am a businessman. I am not saying that you are useless, what I meant is that you don't have any prospects in Cultivation so it's a waste if you use this. If you want something else then say or leave."The old man Hogan refuted harshly with indifference.

"As you said you are a businessman. I am willing to offer any price for that and since I appeared first, at least let me give you an offer before you go over to this guy.''Leon spoke with a hopeful expression.

"Hey, I have had enough of this. You are wasting both mine and this Senior time. Do you have a hole in your head making it difficult for you to understand such a simple matter?"William snorted.

Leon turned towards him to reply when something slammed on his face. He reacted quickly and saw a bundle of cash and a bank card.

"This is 10000 dollars and that card contains 1 million and its pin is 1234. Now stop being an eyesore and just leave."William waved his hand as if he was getting rid of a fly.

Leon gave the old man one last look and then glancing at William's ridiculing expression, he sighed heavily and left with a bitter look while taking the money William threw.

"I might have changed my decision if he had a bit more guts alas not everyone is courageous enough nowadays,'' The Old man Hong commented with displeasure.

Leon, who walked out with a sad expression, stopped for a moment when he heard this and then went out with a laugh.

'You old people are really a bunch of hypocrites. However, I am really surprised to see the live effect of the Protagonist's luck. If I hadn't been shielded from their effect, I might have acted in a dumb way and had my face slapped, lifting the protagonist's prestige.'

'This world is cruel. It pours everything to some while deriving even a small thing from others in need.'

Thinking this, Leon started laughing aloud.

Leon's laughter echoed on the street, startling the people on the street.

However, the moment he stepped out, his entire aura changed.

Peeking at Leon fading back, William smacked his lips happily while hearing the system prompts in his mind.

[DING!]

[It's detected that the host had spent 1.01 million dollars.]

[Do you want to use a 10X rebate card now?]

'Yes!' William confirmed after a brief thought.

[10X rebate applied. You have earned 10.1 million dollars. The money was transferred to the account 79XX XXXXX]

William's eyes lit up in enjoyment.

'Hmm!A trash dare to compete with me with the thing that already had my name in it. Not only did I show him his place, but I earned 10 times the money I threw at him using my 10X rebate card given by the system.'

'I am the luckiest of all.'

"So, boss, what's the price?"William then turned towards the old man who was looking at him curiously.

"I will give it to you for free. But you will owe me a favor."

"Favor?"William asked with a frown.

"Listen, boy, you have a great prospect with Divine grade Tier 3 Veins. I am sure you will become a great figure in the future."An Hogan spoke with a smile and started discussing while treating William as if he was a relative of his own.

"Don't worry boss. I will remember your grace once I become stronger and help you in anything you need."

"I expected nothing less."An Hogan nodded satisfyingly and after placing the herb in a box handed it to William after exchanging a few pleasantries.
