Chapter 537: War Begins (2)_1

He looked sternly at Ma Zhicai with a heavy warning in his eyes.

"Yes, sir." With a silver note worth one hundred taels easily in hand, Ma Zhicai was somewhat excited, his attitude toward the young Tatar became far more respectful.

Ma Erlang looked enviously at Ma Zhicai, his nephew's ability to obtain silver was far more efficient than his own. He had been scraping by in the North Country for over a year and had only managed to save a little silver. Being a scholar indeed made him resourceful.

"You may leave now." The young Tatar watched him for a while, and Ma Zhicai maintained a composed demeanor, not showing a hint of panic.

"Sir, I shall take my leave." He bowed his head and turned around to leave, appearing incredibly respectful.

"Sometimes, being presumptuous can lead to a quick death." Just as he was about to step out of the door, the young Tatar casually muttered a warning.

Ma Zhicai paused in his tracks, satisfying the young Tatar who squinted his eyes in approval.
