Chapter 384: He Who Had Wealth Spoke Louder
Translator: Udong Editor: EbonyFrost, Udong
"Boss Ma, right?" Qian Jin patted the fatty man on his shoulder. "My friend really wants this dress. If you think ten thousand isn"t enough, how about twenty-five? You surely know how to do business. Why sell it to a pauper?"
Pauper?? Situ Yixiao seriously doubted if there was something wrong with her hearing. This barbarian called her a pauper in front of so many people.
"Of course, you don"t need to be afraid." Qian Jin shrugged. "If someone can"t afford the dress but still pressures you by her ident.i.ty, you could sell it to her at a cheaper price."
Suddenly, Situ Yixiao felt all the eyes around fixed on her with a queer look as if what this warrior had just said was exactly the truth.
"Good, good!" Situ Yixiao gnashed her teeth in fury. "Today I will buy this dress first and then teach you a lesson for insulting the wife of the Mayor! Thirty thousand!"
Wow...
Spontaneous exclamations broke out as soon as the price was bid! To be frank, with their social ranks, it was not that difficult for them to take out the wallet. But thirty thousand gold coins for a dress? They"d better invest it and make some money back. Only a few big forces could afford such a loss because the production cost was absolutely no more than one thousand gold coins.
The lady regained her pride and surveyed around in a superior air. "You see? The Mayor"s wife will get whatever she wants! You reek of poverty! You are messing with the wrong person!"
The spectators all cast a sympathetic look to Qian Jin. After all, she had the Mayor behind her. The warrior was heading for his doom by engaging himself in this shopping battle!
"Fifty thousand." Qian Jin even didn"t lift his eyelids and bid the shocking number in a calm voice.
Hiss!
The exclamations now turned into audible gasps! What the fu*k was going on? The price was too d.a.m.n sensational!
Some began to gossip about who the prodigal son was. Fifty thousand gold coins for a dress? Why not buy some weapons?
Some even made a speculation that the kid was here to make trouble. Judged by his appearance, he was definitely not a child of fortune. Was he a swindler?
Consumed with self-esteem, Situ Yixiao stared at this mysterious young man and he felt the unusual glint was suggesting she was losing this battle.
"I... Uh...Fifty-five..." The lady was intimidated already. But as a wife of the Mayor, she couldn"t bear such disgrace. She planned to bid the price first and asked Ma Hongwen to return her the fifty thousand afterward.
"One hundred!" He who had wealth spoke louder than others. Qian Jin didn"t care the money at all. He just had made up his mind to embarra.s.s this b.i.t.c.h. Did she love showing off? Then he would just insult her in public as what she had done to Gabriella!
Piece after piece, Qian Jin took out gold bricks out of his Warrior Dimension and threw them directly on the ground. Cras.h.i.+ng sounds burst out as they hit the ground, which was even more inspiring than the war drums on a battlefield.
In this world, three things could deter the enemies: power, dominating presence, and money.
One hundred thousand gold coins were nothing on an auction, but to buy a dress in a clothing store, even the most expensive one in Yulee would astonish the world.
Like huge hammers, the bricks. .h.i.t Situ Yixiao"s heart as they hit the floor each time. The woman, pale and trembling, drew back, like a traveler at the sight of a serpent.
As a wife of the Mayor, Situ Yixiao had seen millions of gold coins when her husband had dealings with others. Ten thousand? It was no big deal.
However, when the ten thousand showed up in a clothing store, it was much more powerful than the millions in the Mayor"s transactions because the Mayor would never spend a hundred thousand on an evening gown! It was beautiful, that"s true. But that was all.
It was beyond luxurious and it could only be described as wasteful. Looking at the falling bricks, people all stepped back for fear they might get smashed by them.
After the money-throwing work was done, Qian Jin clapped his hands to dust the dirt off. He looked at the twisted face of fatty Ma Hongwen, and then the gloomy one of Situ Yixiao.
"You can bid now." Qian Jin said with indifference. "Show me how the Mayor"s wife can get whatever she wants."
"You...you..." Situ Yixiao couldn"t control her trembling fingers at all. "How dare you to bid against me like this! Alright... I"ll fight it out with you. One hundred and fifty thousand! Bring it on!"
"Two hundred."
Leaving no time for the audience to be shocked by the woman"s price, Qian Jin cried out his in a cold voice. Then he continued to throw gold bricks. What exactly was in that Warrior Dimension? A gold mine?
With the gold hills that equaled to two hundred thousand gold coins appearing on the scene, Ma Hongwen found himself suffering dyspnea. Were there really so many lunatics in this world? Who would buy such a dress with so much money?
"Go on," Qian Jin raised his hand, suggesting Situ Yixiao to fill up. "Let me see what a rich man looks like! Your Highness, please don"t stop. If you don"t have the money, you can borrow from whoever you know here. Tell you what, even you bid a million today, I"ll still beat you. If you don"t believe it, just try!"
Situ Yixiao blankly gazed at Qian Jin. To borrow some money? If she really did so, she would definitely get a good beating from her husband.
Hundreds of thousands of gold coins was a huge amount if it was used for army construction! The capacity to wage war could be greatly enhanced. Once the army rendered meritorious service on the Human-Demon Battlefront, her husband could even get promoted.
"What? Are you calling it off? Is this all you got, as a wife of the Mayor?" Qian Jin turned around and said to Ma Hongwen, "Boss Ma, please pack it up. And can I take the tailor along with us? I am afraid we need to tighten it up! Gabriella can"t fit such a large size!"
Ma Hongwen nodded like a man made of wood. For G.o.d"s sake, it was the first time he had seen this! How sensational!
The crowd all sighed deeply. What a worthwhile trip! Much better than any other ones.
An ordinary warrior dared to challenge the Mayor"s wife! It wouldn"t happen again, even ten years from now!
An ordinary warrior dared to challenge the Mayor"s wife and beat her with a clean sweep? It wouldn"t happen again even in a century from now!
Qian Jin laughed when seeing the trembling Situ Yixiao who was still in anger. Because of the humiliation brought by two hundred thousand gold coins, she might be unwilling to go out again for at least a whole year! But if Gabriella was still not satisfied, she still needed to apologize or...
"Come on..." Gabriella secretly tugged at his sleeve and whispered in his ear, "Let"s go..."
Qian Jin helplessly sighed at this silly girl who even buried her head in her chest. She was too kind! Well, since she didn"t want to pursue it anymore, he had nothing to say. The b.i.t.c.h had enough today. Besides, she would be the laughing stock of the Yulee residents for the rest of her life!
"Don"t you dare to leave!" Seeing Qian Jin turn around and walk outside with his arm on Gabriella"s back, Situ Yixiao was officially p.i.s.sed off!
She had just planned to go out for distraction after all that had happened at home. Who would have expected she should have run into this mess?
Situ Yixiao"s chest heaved as she breathed heavily. She secretly wondered if she didn"t resolve this today, then she might spend the rest of her life at home.
All this humiliation was because of the warrior and the mage.
"Whether you have bought the dress or not, in the end, it belonged to me in the first place." Situ Yixiao strode over, raised her hand, and slapped at Gabriella on her face. "You almost ripped my dress! Apologize!"
"What the fu*k? This b.i.t.c.h wants to slap Gabriella? In front of me? Are you sick of living?" This flash through Qian Jin"s head.
Qian Jin had decided only to break her arms for the sake of the Mayor, but before he raised his hand, he saw a purple light flashed, which caused a wind-piercing sound!
Bang! Lucifer Lucy kicked Situ Yixiao directly in her belly! The female demon focused her strength on her foot and that b.i.t.c.h who had only outward appearance but no combat ability was sent flying.
A series of bone-cracking sounds was clearly heard throughout the whole store.
"Sorry, I just couldn"t help myself. You should thank G.o.d if you survived this time! b.i.t.c.h!" Lucifer Lucy stood there in pride with both hands on her hips as if she were a bandit leader. "How can you bring yourself to harm a cute mage? Shame on you! Go after me if you have the b.a.l.l.s! Hmph... I"ll send you to the h.e.l.l."
The overbearing kick and the domineering presence suddenly filled the entire store. People couldn"t believe what had happened.
