Chapter 268: Money and Status, Power and Truth
The next day, Tezolo was excited to work in the shipyard, and although his face was a little bruised, he was still so enthusiastic that even the workers around him did not know why he was so happy.
However, those people did not know Tezolo very well, and his previous experience had taught him that money could buy friends, money could also lose friends, and that he was working hard to save money.
Workers never go to socials or gatherings, so he naturally has no feelings with his co-workers.
In the evening, he received his salary from his boss as he wished, and immediately ran to Mangrove No. 1, where the population auction was held and where the population market was located.
And in the cage, a blonde woman with a metal collar around her neck is looking into the distance, she is Stella, Tezolo's greatest spiritual pillar, and she is waiting for Tezolo.
Because Tezolo had a tight schedule to make money, he would come here every few days to visit Stella, tell him what he had seen and heard these days, and confide in Stella and talk to him.
"Stella! I've saved up enough money! β
Tezolo, who came running, couldn't wait to tell Stella about his results before he could catch his breath.
"Tomorrow, I'll be able to give you freedom as soon as this place opens tomorrow!"
"Your face. . . What are you going to do? Stella was also excited to hear that Tezoro had saved enough money, but she was more concerned about why Tezoro was injured.
"Out of the way, I got into a fight with a trafficker, I met a particularly interesting girl, I tell you..."
Tezoro told Stella about his encounter with Yamato, but omitted the danger, and then quietly opened his bulging shirt to reveal Bailey hidden inside.
6 million Bailey, this is the price of Stella, and it is also the result of three years of hard work by Tezolo, he does some heavy work, even if he wants to save money, he has to protect his body, if he falls, it will really be over.
So he also had some expenses in the past three years, but most of them were saved in this way.
"That's a good girl, I'll have to thank her in the future."
"Well, let's go to the West Sea when the money is repaid, I heard that there is an island there..."
The Human Shop's lights shine on it, and Stella and Tezolo stay up all night, dreaming about the future, but when the next day arrives, the owner arrives late.
Today was the day of the auction, and he had gone there to prepare something, and as soon as he got back here, Tezolo ran straight in front of him.
"I'm going to buy her!"
Tezolo's eyes were bloodshot, his fingers trembled slightly at Stella, his tone was full of excitement, and then he handed the six million to the man.
"You've really saved enough money, huh?"
The owner of the sales shop looked at Tezolo in disbelief, he didn't expect this person to be able to save enough money, he often chatted with Stella in front of his store, he naturally knew about this person's existence.
He thought that Tezolo was just a dick who only knew delusions, but he didn't expect him to do it.
"It's a pity, if you hadn't had so much trouble a few days earlier, arrest him!" The boss who accepted the money suddenly turned around and ordered his men to arrest Tezolo.
"What are you doing?!"
"What? You stole my money, and of course I'm going to arrest you. β
"What nonsense are you talking about! That's the money I've saved up for three years, you bastard! β
Tezolo angrily tried to rush forward, but he was no match for the two bodyguards there at all, and was directly pressed to the ground.
The reason just now was for the people next to him, although this is an illegal area, but he still has to give some reason for a boss to arrest people, otherwise the business will not be able to continue.
Then he squatted down and said to Tezolo: "Of course I know that you have saved money for three years, and I dare to do this because of a person like you who has no money and no power, but unfortunately, if you had sold someone to you half a month earlier, but she has been booked by the Celestial Dragons." β
Stella is a very special commodity for him, and six million Bailey can buy a woman who is as beautiful and talented as her.
He put Stella outside and set such a price because he didn't want her to be bought easily, this was his advertisement, making outsiders think that he had a lot of high-quality advertisements.
Ordinary people can't afford this money, and those who can afford this money won't be willing to be wronged, but I didn't expect to meet such an anomaly as Tezolo.
As he said, if he had sold Stella to him in normal times, he would still have to be honest, but not long ago, an attendant of the Draco people came to make an appointment with Stella and said that he would come to pick up the goods next month.
That Draco man has a hobby of taking goods with him personally, and he doesn't have time to come here now, so there is nothing he can do, he can't disobey the Draconian.
"Deceived Kangxi"
As for why Tezoro was arrested, because he was reluctant to give up the six million Baileys.
"Bastard! You bastard! β
Tezoro struggled to get up, but he couldn't resist the strength of the two men.
"Don't resist the little ghost, who made you not a world noble? Resign yourself to your fate, little ghost. β
If you have more money, if your status is higher, if your power is stronger...
Yesterday's scene came to his mind, whether it was Yamato's ease of casually taking out hundreds of thousands of Baileys, or the ability to defeat the enemy with a stick, he couldn't forget it.
Money, power, status, he longed for what didn't belong to him, but now he couldn't do anything about it.
"Put the collar on him." His men took out an explosive collar and tried to put it around Tezolo's neck, but Tezoro tried to resist, but to no avail.
"Damn...."
"Tezolo! What are you doing?! Stella in the cage didn't understand why this was happening, but the restraints of the cage made her powerless, and she didn't know that she had been predetermined.
"You let him go!
β
At this moment, a crisp roar came from the side, and Yamato looked at it with anger on his face.
Today is the day when the auction begins, and Yamato and the others naturally came here, and then they just happened to see this scene.
Naturally, he wouldn't listen to a child's words, but the Hundred Beasts and the gang looked like they were outnumbered, so of course they couldn't treat Tezoro the same way they did.
However, he can open a population market in the No. 1 mangrove, of course, he has his own forces behind him, and he has no intention of being afraid.
"What to do? What does it have to do with you if I catch the thief myself? Don't meddle with children. β
"He's not a thief! He still has some of his money that I borrowed! β
"You said you borrowed it, and it's yours? Did you write your name on the money? The boss of the population market looked disdainful, and he didn't plan to spit out the money he received, but Yamato's answer surprised him.
"Written! If you don't believe it, take out the money, there are thirty of them with my name written on them! β
In order to show the ownership of his New Year's money, Yamato let the Tutu dog mark it on it, it can be said that it is a unique figure, and the boss of the population market did not expect to have this hand, and he didn't know what to say for a while.
But he suddenly reacted to a question, what is there to explain with him and a little ghost?
"Whether he is a thief or not, you don't count, here I say it, hurry home."
The quarrel here has caused many security guards in the human trafficking market to come out, they are not those traffickers, and the sophisticated armor and weapons are not easy to deal with at a glance, and Yamato feels that he may not be an opponent in the face of these people.
"Father-in-law, can you help me?"
"You can help others as much as you can, but what you want to do now is beyond your means, then you are causing trouble for other people, and I won't help you unless you have a reasonable reason."
Yamato is a little naΓ―ve, he doesn't mind Yamato being a good person, but there must be a degree and he can't unconditionally harm the interests of his relatives and friends for the sake of others.
"Hmm... He owes me 300,000 yuan, so if he is taken away, no one will be able to pay it back. β
"The reason is average but barely qualified, Shayina, bring people back."
