Chapter 77 - Disputes And Careful Thoughts
Chapter 77: Disputes And Careful Thoughts
Unsure whether Alices words were intentional or not, that sentence made Alan understood that Athena locked herself for training. His anger was slightly relieved and he continued to stare at Joseph fiercely.
Athena saw her friend, Alice whom she hadnt seen for a long time and finally smiled, Alice!
Chen Rui is here too! Come over! Alice took Chen Ruis and Athenas hands and pulled them to the second floor in front of Joseph and Alan.
Kaguli, Kia and others were all here. There were also a few customers, and one of them was even injured. The customers seemed to not dare to leave because Joseph and Alan were blocking the stairs. Just now, Alice was checking on the injured, so she didnt notice Athena and Chen Rui at the first place.
Chen Rui knew after asking Alice that the dispute between Joseph and Alan was for the grand masters work, burr puzzle. Of course, if it werent for the dispute the night before yesterday, the two sides who were originally working closely together wouldnt have such a tense relationship.
The birthday of the empires regent, Prince Obsidian was coming soon. Alan wanted to buy the burr puzzle as a gift and offer it to Prince Obsidian through his father at the capital. Coincidentally, Joseph came to the Princess Retail Store. After learning about Alans intentions, he offered to buy the burr puzzle with twice the price. Alan had already hated Royce and Arux who killed Mikas and fought their way to his mansion. Now that Joseph returned to the Dark Moon, not only he didnt initiate reconciliation, but he provocatively competed for the burr puzzle. Alan was extremely furious. If it werent for his lack of strength, he wouldve started a fight. The injured customer was hurt by Alans subordinate because he was unlucky.
Joseph, are you that rich? You should keep that little money to continue fighting with your brother, Kanita! Alan diverted his biggest hostility to Joseph again. Ill pay 3 times the price! This burr puzzle is mine!
The original price of the burr puzzle is 50,000 black crystal coins. 3 times the price is 150,000. Thats a huge sum of money!
The Demon Realms rule was generally the highest bidder won. Alice didnt bother greeting Chen Rui and Athena and her big eyes were in the shape of black crystal coins. She immediately asked, This burr puzzle Joseph, are you still increasing the price?
200,000. Joseph heard Alan mentioned Kanitas name intentionally and his eyes flashed with cold lights.
Alan was about to speak, then the lich at his side whispered, Sir, we dont have enough money.
Seeing Josephs smile, Alan was even angrier. He thought of something and took out a few things while sneering, I didnt bring enough money, but these magic equipments are all of superior quality. If the little princess wants, you can convert them into black crystal coins. I still have a lot of such equipment that I can convert for Your Royal Highness with discount.
Royce who was behind Joseph growled as he saw the magic equipment; his murderous intention was overflowing. Joseph raised his brow and knew that these were definitely the missing items from his magic store. Alans behavior was undoubtedly provocative; both parties were furiously staring at each other at once.
However, Joseph wasnt angry. He turned around and patted Royces shoulder. Royce then took a deep breath and regained his calmness.
Chen Rui praised Royce for his good acting skills in his mind. Alice hesitated and couldnt make up her mind and secretly looked at Chen Rui for consultation. Chen Rui couldnt offer his opinion in front of so many people, so he just looked at a plaque at the center of the second floor. On the plaque, there was a word carved according to Chen Ruis idea: integrity.
Alice was very clever. Following the direction of his gaze, she suddenly understood. She was still frowning and was clearly struggling in her heart. Finally, she said, I dont want these things.
Alans face changed at once, then he heard Alice continued to say, The motto of Princess Retail Store is integrity and that includes all our customers. Alan came in before Joseph today, so the burr puzzle will be sold to Alan at the original price, 50,000 black crystal coins. However, Alan, your subordinate injured my customer, so you must pay for his treatment. Do you have any opinion?
I absolutely has no opinion! Alan was overjoyed and quickly gave the injured a handful of black crystal coins, I am really grateful! The Princess Retail Store is indeed the best store in the city. Much stronger than some guys store!
Alice nodded and let Kaguli and Kia counted Alans 50,000 black crystal coins, then, she removed the magic protection and gave Alan the burr puzzle with a delicate packaging.
Alan carefully opened the box and he looked at the premium version of the burr puzzle as if he received a precious treasure. He then quickly kept it into his space ring. Seeing Alans appearance, Alice recalled several pieces of grand masters works piled up messily in her room, and she was secretly laughing. However, she had lost at least 150,000 less black crystal coins this time, and that was bitter thinking about it.
Joseph ignored Alans provocative eyes and looked at the word integrity. Although the instant communication between Alice and Chen Rui with their eyes were obscured, it couldnt hide from Joseph. After taking a deep look at Chen Rui, Joseph bowed toward Alice and left the Princess Retail Store with Royce and Vasasha.
Seeing Joseph left, Alan was obviously proud. He thanked Alice happily and he left too. After both of them left, Chen Rui came over and whispered a few words to Alice. Alice immediately went to comfort the injured person. He was just a member of a small family. In fact, he was only slightly injured. He didnt need to be compensated by that amount of money. Seeing little princess asking personally, he looked overwhelmed by the kindness.
Alice smiled and said, Everyone, I am very sorry about what happened today. However, I believe everyone saw that the Princess Retail Store pays particular attention to the word integrity. In the future, no matter who comes to us, they will feel the meaning represented by the word. I hope everyone can shop at ease.
Little princess is truly amazing! Alices words and smiles affected everyone. A nobleman said with emotion, I want to tell everyone about this. The reputation of Princess Retail Store will be known throughout the Dark Moon!
After these customers finished shopping and left unwillingly, the smiling little princess with integrity suddenly changed her face. She leaped angrily and rode on Chen Rui back to choke his neck, Thats 150,000 black crystal coins! 150,000! Wuwu Why Chen Rui! You must tell me! Otherwise, I will kill you today!
Chen Rui almost couldnt breathe being choked. It seemed that under the influence of money, the little loli with the halo of miser had reached the level of Mikas. Athena and Kia saw it and quickly stopped her. They had to persuade for a long time before finally pulling the little miser off Chen Ruis back.
Chen Rui gasped for air. Seeing little lolis angry look, he shook his head, Do you remember what I said when I made you carve that plaque?
Alice thought about it and replied, It seems to be integrity outweighs all strategies.
If you want the Princess Retail Store to truly prosper for a long time, or even open more chain stores, you must remember this sentence. Chen Rui saw Alice still looked like she didnt understand. Let me tell you a story. Once, there was a Great Demon King called King Zhao of the Yan Empire. He once spent a million black crystal coins to buy a rare mare
When Chen Rui said the Demon Realm edited version of King Zhao of Yan Empire Buy Horse Carcass [1] with Million Gold, Kia and Athena seemed to not understand fully, but the clever Alice had already understood the meaning.
There was another meaning that Chen Rui couldnt tell in front of Kia and Kaguli. The magic stores booties were troublesome. Staying in Alans hands was more conducive to the strategy of driving the tiger to swallow the wolf. Today, Alans deliberate show-offs had worsened the relationship between the two parties in reality. However, why did Joseph compete with Alan for the grand masters work? Wasnt reconciliation most needed currently?
Ive always known that brother Chen Rui is very powerful. After the little loli understood, her face changed really fast. She was blinking her big eyes and instantly changed from a murderous look to look of adoration, Perhaps, lets go to the blue lake again for a picnic?
No! My body isnt great for the past two days, so I cant travel far. Chen Rui head shook like a rattle Are you kidding me? Picnicking again? She certainly prepares another stunning stick and some damn reference books!
Really?! Alice looked disappointed, Im so bored in this store everyday; its so uncomfortable. Athena, lets stroll in the city with just the 3 of us.
Okay! Athena agreed immediately.
Chen Rui heard it was just strolling outside, so he couldnt refuse. Alice thought for a while, Wait for me downstairs. Also, Kia and Kaguli should go down too. I have something to say to Athena privately.
After the three went downstairs, Alices eyes fell on the well-developed breasts of Athena. She subconsciously compared it with her own, and she obviously felt a huge pressure.
Are we good friends?
Athena didnt understand little lolis thoughts, so she nodded and said, Of course. Alice is my best friend.
What about Chen Rui?
Athenas face was a little hot, He is also a good friend!
The blush flashed past on Athenas face couldnt hide from the mature little loli. The little lolis petite body trembled slightly and the demeanor of a tyrant was released, Athena! Theres something that I will not give in even if were good friends!
What is it? Athena looked puzzled.
For example that Alice suddenly lost her demeanor and lowered her head. She gently put her two index fingertips together and mumbled, There is one person No! There is one thing that both you and I like to eat
Thats simple. Athena said without thinking, Cut it in half with a knife and well both take half.
Alice seemed to be worried. Her eyes flashed with strange brilliance when she heard that sentence, Cut it?
Achoo! Chen Rui who was downstairs sneezed inexplicably. Seeing Kias frowning look, he smiled apologetically.
If you cant cut it? The little loli thought for a moment and continued to beat around the bush. Actually, I dont know if I truly like to eat. However, this thing makes me feel a bit strange. I might want to eat a little
I dont understand what youre saying. Athena thought for a moment and replied, However, if its something that really cant be cut open, we will each take a bite until it is finished. Were good friends, so shouldnt we share good things?
Really? Each takes a bite? The little lolis big eyes lit up as if she had solved some key problems, and she skipped happily, Although I dont know but Athena! Youre truly my best friend!
Havent I always been? The unaware Athena still hadnt realized why Alice was hesitating at once and happy after.
Lets go! Alice regained her strong vitality in the blink of an eye and skipped down the stairs while holding Athenas hand.
