Chapter 108, Liquidated Damages
Some people are obviously afraid of death, but when they encounter huge benefits, they are bold and thieves, and this contradictory situation just proves Luo Tian's statement that human beings are contradictory creatures.
Gongye Fei is a very smart person, he can't be a liar if he is not smart, but he is also a person who is afraid of death, and Luo Tian can see that he is not injured but his illusion has been broken, so he will immediately be instigated, if Luo Tian rushed up with a mad sword at that time, it is estimated that this guy is likely to kneel on the ground and beg for mercy.
However, this grandson is bold and thief, and he feels that the benefits of human beings are not as good as those of the ancient gods, so he shifted his attention to the ancient gods, and actually wanted to deceive the ancient gods, not to mention, with his own cleverness and handsome appearance, some female ancient gods were really fooled, including the Spider Emperor Serra.
According to the explanation of this goods, he has deceived nearly five or six ancient gods, and his footprints are all over the five oceans, and he has caused a lot of chasing, so now he is cautious to walk the rivers and lakes under a pseudonym, and the most recent offense is the Spider Emperor Serra, the reason why he can see Serra is that he took a boat to drift on the sea, and when he arrived at the island where the Spider Emperor Serra set up a teleportation array, when he went to the island to rest, the Spider Emperor Serra felt the divinity he exuded, and then used the charm to seduce him to the teleportation array, and when he came back to his senses, he was already standing in the palaceγ
This guy is also a good one, and the Spider Emperor Serra secretly got up the next day and took the Spider Emperor Serra's cane and fled, but he didn't know how much this thing was worth, if he directly found someone to sell it, in case he was slaughtered and lost money, wouldn't he suffer a loss, so he thought of the auction house's method, but the top auction house entered the off-season, and finally found out that the auction house was preparing for a VIP auction recently, so he rushed over, and was caught by Luo Tian, who wanted to go together.
"Wouldn't it be okay to give it back to her, but she must promise not to chase me again, and I signed a contract with the auction house, if I break the contract, I will have to pay a sum of money, but you also see where I have the money to pay them, and you have to find a way to help me out of this money." β
Liars and scoundrels are often inseparable, Gongye Fei is a liar and a scoundrel at the same time, he spread his hands in front of Luo Tian, looking like I have no money and I can't do anything, no way, this money can only be paid by Luo Tian.
At that moment, he went out with Gongye Fei, and when he saw the girl waiting outside the door, he couldn't help but throw a wink and shouted, "Wait for me, baby." β
The person in charge of the auction house was an old man, with a silver beard and a pair of narrow eyes that looked at people very sharply, and he said in a low voice: "If you breach the contract, you will have to pay liquidated damages, are you sure that you will not consign items in our auction house?"
Luo Tian kicked Gongye Fei from behind, and Gongye Fei bared his teeth and said, "Sure." β
"Well, let me calculate how many liquidated damages there are, the basic liquidated damages are three thousand taels, it stands to reason that you should be notified a week in advance, but if you notify within twenty-four hours, then double the original liquidated damages on the basis of six thousand taels, that is, six thousand taels, and the lot you consigned was used as a very precious finale in this lot, and if you breach the contract, there will be a very significant loss of reputation to our auction house, so it will be tripled on the basis of six thousand taels, that is, eighteen thousand taels, in addition, according to the additional terms signed in the contract, once you cancel the transaction for no reason, you will be fined 10,000 taels, then the total is 28,000 taels, guest officerDo you pay cash or a bill?"
Luo Tian's teeth itched, but it was obvious that Gongye Fei couldn't take out the money, so he could only take it out of Luo Tian's purse, and Luo Tian, who was too expensive to buy a piece of clothing for 300 taels, had no choice but to take out 28,000 taels today.
"Okay, the silver ticket has been received, and I will arrange for someone to remove the lot, you wait. The old man in charge walked away.
Seeing this, Gong Yefei on the side smiled evilly and said: "Brother, you are rich enough, what do you do, do you specialize in doing things for the ancient gods, I have heard of some people who do this kind of work like you, is it very fast to get money, otherwise you will also introduce me to do this business, you have also seen that my illusion is quite good." β
Luo Tian didn't bother him at all, and after a while, the old man just came over again and said, "The formalities have been handled, please sign." β
While speaking, he took out a few documents and gave them to Gong Ye Fei, and after Gong Ye Fei finished signing, the old man glanced at it and said, "Now please come with me to pick up the consignment." β
Gongyefei and Luo Tian walked up at the same time, but they didn't expect the guards on the side to stop Luo Tian.
"What are you doing, can't you follow after I pay the money?" Luo Tian asked dissatisfiedly.
"This is a regulation, although the money is from you, but the debt dispute is a problem between you and the Gongye Pilot, and we have nothing to do with you, only related to the Gongye Pilot, plus the warehouse where the consignment goods are placed is very hidden and precious, and irrelevant people are not allowed to enter, once there is a loss of consignment items, no one can afford this responsibility. The old man's reason is not unreasonable, this is the rule of the auction house, Luo Tian can't break in, but if he really loses other people's things, he can't get fishy, so he didn't force it, stayed where he was and waited, and warned Gongye Fei not to slip away.
After waiting outside for a long time and not seeing Gongye Fei come out, Luo Tian became more and more anxious the more he waited, he never thought that he would wait until the end of the auction, the boiling water frog and Xiaoshuang walked out of the VIP passage, and saw Luo Tian who was still waiting.
"Why are you here?" asked the boiling frog curiously.
Luo Tian's brows furrowed, and he just saw the silver-haired old man in charge come out, hurriedly rushed up to stop him, and asked, "What about Gongye Fei, didn't he follow you to pick up the consignment goods?"
The old man glanced at Luo Tian and asked, "Who is Gongye Fei?"
"Isn't it pretending to be garlic?" Luo Tian grabbed the old man's shirt, as soon as this move came out, the guard immediately pulled out his sword, Luo Tian didn't care so much, the money was given, and it was not easy for people to find it, if he ran away like this, wouldn't it be a big loss.
"Fuck off. Luo Tian roared, and the evil spirit was released, and all the guards around him and the people watching the excitement were shaken back, but the old man was very calm, obviously a person who had experienced a big battle, and looked at Luo Tian calmly.
"Don't get excited, I really don't know who Gongye Fei is, but if you're talking about the gentleman who you paid to help redeem the consignment, he has already left with the goods. β
"Why don't you stop it?" Luo Tian shouted.
"I don't think we have that obligation, business is business, and we don't have a conflict with him, and since he has paid the fees, we have to let him go. β
From the perspective of the old man and the auction house, they are not wrong in this matter, and Luo Tian really can't blame them, so he can only blame himself for being careless, and he was run away by Gongye Fei.
Luo Tian, who calmed down, slowly let go of his hand and asked, "Then do you know where he went?"
"We can't be sure if the ticket is valid before we redeem it, so according to the regulations, we will record his address and send someone to follow him secretly until the exchange of the silver ticket is confirmed that all the people who are tracking him will be withdrawn, and if you need to, we can reveal his whereabouts to you. β
Gong Yefei hid in the inn where he was staying with a walking stick, it was not a high-end inn and it was not eye-catching, the room was close to the street, and if something happened, he could jump out and escape as soon as possible.
Looking at the cane in his hand, Gong Yefei couldn't help but laugh and said: "Is this Luo Tian a fool, his head is really bad, he paid the liquidated damages for me and waited for me stupidly, or Lao Tzu was smart and ran away first, this place can't stay for a long time, wait for the night when I buy a ferry ticket today, and leave here when the time comes, I'll see where you go to find me, the enemy in the Southern Regions has found the door, or go to the Eastern Regions, hehe, there are still two rich women in the Eastern Regions looking forward to me." β
This guy has lovers everywhere in the Poseidon clan, and these lovers can become his shelter when necessary.
However, this dream of escape was shattered before it began, he was still smiling proudly, the door of the room was suddenly opened from the outside, and then a strong divine power poured into the room, Gongye Fei looked up in horror, and saw Luo Tian standing at the gate, the two looked at each other, and Gongye Fei was so frightened that he almost jumped up from the chair.
