Shark Gazo is the head snake of the Chuck Street area, and his "Sea Serpent Party" is famous in the underground world of the entire lower city, and is the most feared figure in the neighborhood.

Dami looked embarrassed, "Shark Gazo wants to buy my master's shop, and I have to come and talk to him. ”

"What, Shark Gazo wants to buy your master's shop, when did it?" Tony was taken aback and quickly asked.

"It's been a while, I'll have a chance to talk to you in detail later, I have to go find him, do you know where he is?"

Before Tony could answer, someone next to him said, "Shark Gazo is on the second floor..."

Damian thanked the man and went to the second floor.

"Wait, Damien..."

Tony shouted from behind, but Damian didn't look back.

Tony's cold sweat came down, he had taken a fancy to the grocery store next to him for a long time, the previous owner was stubborn, but now that he is dead, the store belongs to Damian, originally Tony was going to talk to this elementary school apprentice in a few days, but why would Shark Gazo come to intervene?

As soon as Damian stepped up to the second floor, he was stopped.

"Little one, it's forbidden here, and milk is available downstairs. The people next to him laughed.

"I'm looking for the shark boss, please let me know. ”

The bodyguard glanced at him, "What can you do with the shark boss?"

Damian said angrily, "Of course I came to him because of something, is the famous shark Gazo still afraid of my little buddy?"

When the bodyguard heard this, he was about to have a seizure, when a voice came from inside.

"It's kind of interesting, let him in. ”

The bodyguard smuggled out of the way, and Damian walked inside.

The environment on the second floor is much better than on the first floor, with elkskin-wrapped benches, black and gold tables made by dwarven craftsmen, and magic fluorescent lamps used by Nasa elves. In the innermost position, on the sofa covered with a large piece of Sword Leaping Tiger fur, a burly figure was holding a bewitching woman with elven blood, his eyes looking straight at this side.

Shark Gazo was also curious about what the stranger was looking for him.

Damian didn't greet him as soon as he came up, but went straight to the point, and said, "Dear Shark Boss, I want to borrow a sum of money." ”

"Oh?"

The Sea Serpents had a lot of business, and loan sharking was one of them, but Shark Gazo was not interested in the small business of a few gold coins, and casually asked, "How much do you want to borrow?"

"230 gold coins. ”

"What!" Shark Gazzo nearly squirted the wine out of his mouth, and he looked Damian up and down, his eyes growing fierce.

"Who do you think you are, the young master of which family in Shangcheng District, the beloved disciple of which great magister, or the crown prince of which country, should I call you Lord Marquis or Lord Earl, do you think the Sea Serpent Party is so foolish, what do you use to borrow these 230 gold coins?"

"My name is Damian, my master is Contin, I own a grocery store next door, he died a few days ago, and now the shop belongs to me".

"Contin in the shop next door, I know, and he's an old neighbor, is he dead?" said Shark Gazo, who seemed interested. ”

"My mother is critically ill due to an evil spirit," Damian struggled to squeeze out a sad expression.

"We need a high-level Holy Light Mage to heal, and we have taken out our savings for many years, but we are still short of 230 gold coins. ”

"Tony, the owner of this tavern, had always wanted to buy our shop, and he had already sold 250 gold coins, but my master didn't sell it. On the day the master died, he also came and said that he was willing to buy a shop with 300 gold coins, and I had already agreed. ”

Damian became more and more adept at making up the story, "But Tony, greedy viper, Lord of Light is above, such people deserve to go to hell." ”

"When he heard the news that my mother was critically ill and that I was in a hurry to use the money, he suddenly changed his mind and was only willing to pay half the price. ”

"It's not enough money, he's trying to force my mother to death. At this, Damian hung his head and pretended to be sobbing silently.

"So I have to ask for help from you, Shark Boss, and the neighbors say that Shark Boss is a philanthropic and is our Robin Hood of Lorraine, and I ask you to help me and my mother through this difficult time, and I will remember your great kindness in my heart. ”

There is also Robin Hood in this world, an elven thief, the members of the underground society and the people of the green forest like to call themselves Robin Hood, Damian turned his head sideways after saying this, and secretly observed the reaction of the shark Gazo out of the corner of his eye.

Shark Gazo seemed to be calm, he thought for a while, waved his hand to call one of his subordinates over, and said, "Go and check." ”

His men received the order and went downstairs.

Damian was not afraid of what Gazo would find out, the story he made up was half-true, and the biggest loophole was his mother, although many people on this street knew Damian, but no one cared about the family situation of a schoolboy, and naturally there was no way to know whether his mother was alive or dead.

The most critical point is that Shark Gazo, as a gang boss who came over in a bloody storm, would never believe that a primary school apprentice would dare to lie to him.

After a while, his subordinates came up, came to Gazo's side, and whispered, "Ask clearly, there is such a thing, Contin's will is to leave the shop to this guy, and Tony has indeed always wanted to buy the shop next door." ”

After listening to the report of his subordinates, Shark Gazo thought in his heart, he was a frequent customer of the Blackstone Tavern, and the situation in the store was clear, and Tony said more than once that the store was too small and wanted to expand. Although the grocery store next door is high at 230 gold coins at the market price, since Tony is willing to pay 300 gold coins to buy it, the shop is his own, and it is completely feasible to sell it for 350 to 400 gold coins from the ground. And Tony didn't dare to offend him, and when the expansion of the tavern was imminent, he had to grit his teeth and accept it.

Of course, all this is based on the fact that Damian can't pay off the money and has to pay off the debt.

Shark Gazo smiled slightly, and said to Damian: "Although your story is touching, but business is business, 230 gold coins can be lent to you, according to our rules, pay off within 3 months, 30 gold coins of interest, you can accept it?"

Dami was relieved, but still pretended to be in pain and said, "Yes." ”

"But," Shark Gazo said, "we have been strapped for cash recently, so we may need to change the rules." ”

"230 gold coins, 30 gold coins interest, a total of 260 gold coins, pay off in 1 month, if you don't pay it back, the shop will belong to me, if you agree, just sign here." Shark Gazzo said, pulling out an IOU.

Ten minutes later, Damian walked out of the door of the Blackstone Tavern with a bag of money.

......

Not long after Damian returned to the grocery store, there was a knock on the door.

"Damian, are you in there, I'm Tony next door. ”

"The fish bites. Damian snickered, opened the door, and let Tony in.

"I'm sorry, it's too messy," Damian pulled out a small wooden stool and handed it to Tony, "Would you like something to drink?"

"It's okay, no need. Tony took the stool and sat down, looked at Damian, and asked tentatively, "Did you find Gazo the shark?"

Damian had a solemn expression on his face, "Yes, he's willing to pay 230 gold coins for this shop." ”

"230 gold coins, the price is okay, but why did he buy this shop?"

This was a question that Tony had always had in his mind.

"He seems to want to use this as a stronghold, so his attitude is very tough, the original thing is that you want to sell or not, I want to sell this store, I am going to decide this store, I am very scared now. Damian lowered his head.

"This sucks. Tony thought to himself. As a tavern owner, he inevitably has to come into contact with people of all religions, but he doesn't want to have much to do with the gangsters. This is also the reason why Shark Gazo is a frequent visitor to Blackstone, but the two have a mediocre personal relationship.

If the grocery store is bought by Shark Gazo, not only will it affect the tavern's expansion plans, but the gangsters will inevitably affect the tavern's business, and the law enforcement team will also target it. When the time comes, it will not be peaceful.

Tony also thought of a deeper possibility, is Shark Gazo plotting against his Blackstone Tavern? Blackstone is the most popular tavern in the neighborhood, it is impossible for others not to be blushing, Tony has a wrist and background, and is not afraid of being coveted, but that person is a shark Gazo is different.

"This must not be allowed to happen, it seems that Sir Juan's side of the law enforcement team must give up some shares, and it is really impossible to go to the upper city to ask the Marquis for help. Tony secretly made up his mind.

"Actually... Damian.... You have other options. Tony smiled professionally as a tavernkeeper, "You don't want to sell the shop to Shark Gazo, you can sell it to me.... You should also know that I came to your master before......"

"What are you talking about, Tony. I don't sell this shop unless I have 300 gold coins, which is what the master meant before he died. Damian interrupted him, putting on a "so you're not a good person."

"3...300 gold coins?" Tony looked shocked, he wanted to make a deal at a maximum price of 250 gold according to Shark Gazo's bid of 230 gold, but he didn't expect Damian to come up and ask for 300 gold.

"That's right, before the master left, he said that he must keep the shop, but if anyone is willing to pay 300 gold, sell it to him. 100 gold was sent to the orphanage in my hometown, and 200 gold was kept for yourself. ”

Damian's master Kangtan said that he would keep the shop, but the content of the 300 gold in the back was all made up by Damian, and if Kangtan knew about it, he would definitely rush out of the tomb and beat Damian to death.

"The price... Seems a bit high, huh?" Tony prepares to bargain with Tony.

"I don't know what the price will be, but it's the master's last wish. Damian felt that Contin's coffin board was running out.

"So if you want to buy it Boss Tony, 300 gold coins and 1 copper plate can't be less, if you don't buy it," I'll fight to the end on Shark Gazo's side, unless he also gives out 300 gold coins. Damian's expression was as tragic as a warrior about to fight a dragon.

Tony didn't think Shark Gazo would pay 300 gold for the shop, and he didn't think Damian's so-called struggle would be of any use, he knew what the Sea Serpents were all about.

In that case... That's 300 gold. Tony felt a pain in his heart, but he still had to keep a smile on his face.

Damian took out a piece of paper from the box that had been prepared next to him, "This is the deed, pay the money in one hand and deliver the goods in the other, 300 gold, this shop is yours." Damian held out his right hand.

"It was a pleasure to work with. ”

Half an hour later, in a luxurious hotel in the upper city, Damian was lying on a soft velvet bed, eating fruit brought from the elven territory of Nassa, playing with a gold coin with the original Duke of Lorraine on the front and the bauhinia on the back, and couldn't help but sigh: "It's good to be rich." ”
