Chapter Forty-Seven: Troubles
Hanbock didn't see the faces of Messiah and Wei Ya, and continued to smile at Lei Xiu, "Lei Xiu, if Jalba agrees to my conditions, I will give you both the house and that thing, and I also asked him for twenty percent of the shares of this gladiatorial arena and ten gladiators, and I will keep these for myself." β
Lei Xiu hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Grandpa Hanbock, these things are too valuable, as long as you give me that thing, I will be satisfied, and the house should be forgotten." β
Hearing this, Hanbock's face sank, and he said with some displeasure, "What's the matter with you, don't you still feel embarrassed if I send you something? With my friendship with your master, don't talk about these things, even if they are ten times more, they are insignificant to us, if you still recognize me as a grandfather, don't say more!"
Lei Xiu saw that Hanbock was a little unhappy, so he nodded and agreed, and his heart couldn't help but be surrounded by a deep sense of happiness in an instant, and couldn't help asking, "Grandpa Hanbock, is that house big? My mother will also go to the imperial capital, I want her to live better." β
Seeing Lei Xiu agree, Han Boke nodded with satisfaction, and said with a mysterious smile on his face, "Big, it should be big, what I want is a villa in Qingshuixi, and there is a supporting horse farm in it, it must not be too small." β
"Hiss!" A gasp came from the sound of cold air, and Wei Ya finally couldn't help but exclaim, "Qingshuixi's villa?"
Lei Xiu turned his head curiously and asked, "Wei Ya, is that place famous?"
Wei Ya looked at Lei Xiu with a complicated expression, and then looked at Han Boke with a smug expression, and sighed in her heart and said, "It's very famous, because this is the most expensive location in the imperial capital, not to mention a villa, it's a wooden house, and the price is calculated in millions of gold coins." β
After Wei Ya said this, her heart was also a little sour, thinking that as the eldest daughter of the city lord of Golden Shield City, if she hadn't won this money, she would have to rent a house in the imperial capital, let alone consider a location like Qingshuixi, but what about Lei Xiu, just because the master was a friend of Lord Hanbok, he actually got a villa, hey, can it really be so capricious that money can be so capricious?
Seeing Lei Xiu's shocked appearance, Hanbok shook his hand with a smile and said, "Not necessarily, although I am sure that Jalba will agree to this condition, but he hasn't given me an answer one day, and I don't dare to pack the ticket, okay, let's talk about something when we go out." β
By the time everyone left the Sun God Gladiatorial Arena, it was already afternoon, and when they heard that Lei Xiu and the others wanted to buy airship tickets to the imperial capital, Han Bock separated from them, and when he left, he called Lei Xiu, gave him a card, and let him go back after saying a few words.
After Lei Xiu came back, Wei Ya asked curiously, "Lei Xiu, what did Lord Hanbock give you?"
Lei Xiu took out the card in his hand and waved it, confused, "I don't know what this is, but Grandpa Hanbok said that if you want to buy something, take out this card first, most merchants will give me a discount, Wei Ya, you have a lot of knowledge, do you know what this is?"
Looking at the card in Lei Xiu's hand, which was only half the size of a palm, pale gold, and only had a black corona symbol in the upper left corner, Wei Ya's heart suddenly beat violently uncontrollably, and she took the card from Lei Xiu's hand with a little nervousness and looked at it carefully, and actually let out a scream on the spot.
Lei Xiu and Messiah were immediately shocked, Lei Xiu thought that there was some mechanism on the card, and hurriedly took the card from Wei Ya's hand, but who knew that Wei Ya retracted her hand at a faster speed than him, and then roared angrily, "What are you doing!"
Stunned by Wei Ya's yelling, Lei Xiu was a little worried, "Wei Ya, are you okay?"
Wei Ya's eyes were full of the card at this time, and she said excitedly, "It's okay, how can I be okay, do you know what this is? This is the highest-level Corona Avenue discount card!"
"Discount card?"
Seeing Lei Xiu and Messiah's ignorant looks, Wei Ya held up the card high, as if she was holding the king's scepter in her hand, and said to the two excitedly, "Yes, and it is the highest level, do you know, the shops in the Corona Avenue are notoriously complete, expensive, Not discounted, but I don't know when, the corona discount card appeared, this discount card can enjoy the discount price in nearly eighty percent of the shops, and it is very rare, I heard that this kind of card is issued by the property owners of those shops, there are three specifications, gold card, silver card and blue card. β
Looking at the gold card in her hand with almost intoxicated eyes, Wei Ya continued, "With this card, we can enjoy the lowest discount price in the store, at least seven percent off! My God, is Lord Hanbock the owner of the Corona Avenue shop, I have seen a blue discount card before, it can only be discounted by nine, or I saw it from the hand of an earl's daughter, you don't know how important she sees that card!"
Lei Xiu and Messiah glanced at each other, and helplessness flashed in their eyes at the same time, and now Wei Ya seemed to have changed as if she had changed into a different person, that kind of passion, that kind of light flashing in her eyes, all of which showed her strong goal.
Sure enough, in the next moment, Wei Ya patted the carriage vigorously and shouted at Henry, "Uncle Henry, let's go, let's go to Corona Avenue!"
Messiah smiled bitterly and persuaded, "Weiya, but we just went there yesterday." β
At this time, Wei Ya, who was carried away by the desire to shop, didn't even listen to the Messiah's words, and shouted like a rattle, "Yesterday I took a fancy to several things, but I didn't buy them because they were too expensive, and today I won the money and got a gold card, hehehehe, it seems that those things are destined to be mine, okay, don't talk nonsense, anyway, there is also an airship ticket office on Corona Avenue, you guys get on the bus!"
Under the influence of Wei Ya, Lei Xiu and Messiah obediently got into the carriage, and then Heng Rui whipped and drank, and the carriage sped away smoothly and quickly in the direction of Corona Avenue.
Corona Avenue is located in the center of Yao Sun City, it is said to be an avenue, but in fact, it extends in all directions, all the shops are connected to each other, not only the criss-cross bridges built in the air, but also the kind of automatic lifting ladder house that Lei Xiu had seen in the Shenlei Tower, which can be called a very large open-air shopping mall, and its prosperity is far from being comparable to that of Golden Shield City.
It's not a holiday, but the Corona Avenue is still bustling with horse-drawn carriages and tourists, but the families of the guests here are all good, and there are a lot of tourists from other places, as can be seen from their way of dressing.
For example, there are many people like the Messiah who dress cleanly and simply, after all, most people don't like to be too high-profile, and for them, simple luxury is the true meaning of aristocrats. But there were far fewer people like Lei Xiu who wore coarse cloth clothes full of holes and had a face full of dust, and except for him, people in this kind of dress were squatting in the corner, holding an earthen bowl in their hands, pitifully waiting for the mercy and reward of the well-wishers.
Not long ago, there was even a kind "colleague", because he didn't see Lei Xiu getting out of Wei Ya's car, he leaned over and pulled the corner of Lei Xiu's clothes, and asked Lei Xiu to squat with him.
Lei Xiu gave the beggar a gold coin angrily and funny under the laughter of Messiah and Wei Ya, and after seeing the beggar's expression turn from ignorance to disbelief ecstasy, he left with the other party's thousand thanks, and then said dissatisfied.
"I said, don't you even have time for me to take a shower and change my clothes?
Wei Ya looked at Lei Xiu's dirty face, barely suppressed the urge to continue laughing, shook her head and said, "I'm sorry, I forgot about it, hehehehe, but it doesn't matter, there is a place to take a bath, we will take you there first, and then buy you clothes back, you just need to change after taking a shower." β
Lei Xiu shook his head helplessly, so he had to follow Wei Ya to the place where she said, because the distance was not far, they didn't take the car, just walked and walked.
When the three of them walked around a corner, a staircase house on the opposite side suddenly opened from the inside, and out came four young men and women dressed in gorgeous clothes, the four of them were talking and laughing loudly, but one of them was wearing a yellow dress and a girl with a little freckles on her face, but she was suddenly stunned for a moment, staring at Wei Ya on the opposite side and covering her mouth and whispering, "Wei Ya, why are you here?"
Wei Ya raised her eyes when she heard the voice, her heart sank, and she sneered, "Stia, this is not Silver Mountain City, why can't I come?"
The girl in yellow also said with a cold smile, "Hmph, I'm just wondering, you are not rich in money, why do you always come to Corona Avenue, is it possible that you have to go to those special shops that only civilians go?"
Wei Ya said with disdain, "I'm really embarrassed, I just made a little money today, so I came here to take a look, I'm not like some people, I only know how to spend the family's money, and I don't have the ability to take care of myself at all, besides, what's wrong with the special shop? Can the quality of clothing be seen from the price? Hmph, this is just the idea of the nouveau riche, right?"
"You!" The girl in yellow pointed at Wei Ya with her hand, her face seemed to be covered with a layer of frost, but she suddenly glanced at her companions left and right, and suddenly choked up, and sobbed like this, looking weak and helpless, as if she had suffered some great grievance.
Wei Ya snorted, looked at the girl in yellow with her arms around her chest and looked coldly, and said mockingly, "Pretend, isn't this your best trick?
The girl in yellow couldn't help crying louder when she heard this, and after a while, just when Lei Xiu and Messiah both felt that something was wrong with Wei Ya and wanted to persuade her, one of the young men who came with the girl in yellow suddenly spoke.
"You're Miss Wei of the Fernandez family, right? I heard Stia mention you, originally she said that you bullied her as soon as you met, I thought it was exaggerated, but I didn't expect it to be true, as a noble girl, don't you think you're too much?"
This young man is dignified, with blonde hair that is neither long nor short, with a tall figure, a long sword at his waist, and a heroic momentum.
Wei Ya raised her eyebrows and glanced at the other party, and said coldly, "It seems that although the tricks are old-fashioned, there will always be people who are fooled, who are you?"
The young man took a step forward and said proudly, "It doesn't matter who I am, but your bold sarcastic words like yours are very inconsistent with the demeanor of a noble lady, I think anyone with a sense of justice in their hearts will not be able to stand it, now please apologize to Miss Stya!"
Lei Xiu and Messiah were both extremely intelligent people, and they immediately saw that something was wrong with this matter, so they dispelled the idea of persuading Wei Ya, and kept silent and continued to watch.
Wei Ya looked at the blonde boy and said coldly, "Since it doesn't matter who you are, then you don't have to worry about this idle matter, this is my business with her, and the idle people will not come to participate." β
Before the blonde boy could speak, another brown-haired young man standing beside him stood up and snorted coldly, "I didn't know that there were still things that Horton couldn't control in this Dawn City, Miss Weiya, although your Fernandez family is powerful, in terms of strength and title, it seems that it is not as good as the Solomon family!"
"The Solomon family!" Wei Ya's face sank, and she looked at the blonde boy and said, "You belong to the Solomon family?"
The voice of the still brown-haired young man came, and it felt like he was honored to say this name, "Horton is the second in line to the Solomon family, and the current lord of Dawn City is his uncle!"
Wei Ya's face was still indifferent, but she sighed secretly in her heart, it seems that today's matter is going to get bigger and bigger, this person named Horton she has heard of, is the nephew of the city lord of Yao Sun City, because the current city lord has only one daughter, so in the Solomon family, there are still many people who support Horton to inherit the Solomon family, and it is rumored that although he is young, he is calm and capable, and his master is also the vice president of the Heaven Breaking Academy, a powerful gold-level demon fighter, in the intelligence evaluation of the Fernandez family, it is very potential and valuableγ
"Hey, I really underestimated Stia, I was able to catch Horton's line, what should I do now?"
Just when Wei Ya felt embarrassed, Messiah slowly walked to her side, stood side by side with her, and said to the two of them in a cold tone, "Two, right and wrong often can't just look at the surface, you don't have to ask Wei Ya to apologize before you can ask the cause of the matter, it's too arbitrary, right? Not to mention the Solomon family, even His Majesty the Emperor today has to have conclusive evidence to determine whether a person is wrong or not, do the two of them think that they are more powerful than His Majesty the Emperor?"
After hearing these words, the two young men frowned at the same time, in their eyes, although the Messiah did not have the temperament that ordinary nobles had, but when he spoke, he was neither humble nor arrogant, and he had a calm and calm bearing, which was not to be underestimated.
