“Alright.” After getting rid of the troublemakers, Mister Gate walked slowly to the counter and glanced at the first person who had run over to make payment. “I recall you were the first one to get here?”
The man nodded vehemently. “It’s me, it’s me! That’s right, it’s me!”
“Yes, correct.” Mister Gate nodded, satisfied. “This armor is yours!”
Wow!
When they heard that, everyone was stunned!
After a brief silence, the entire shop erupted. “I offer five thousand! I’ll buy it for five thousand!””I offer eight thousand! Eight thousand!””I offer ten thousand, ten thousand in cash! Sell it to me, sell it to me!”
The first person in line was so happy he almost fainted. Without saying anything, he took the armor and dashed out of the shop like a madman.
He got three pieces of attribute +8 gems as well as the armor they were embedded in. He got a great deal!
“Everyone, quiet.” Mister Gate hollered. His voice was like thunder and everyone immediately stopped talking.
“Our shop sells only one piece of armor a day. First come, first serve.” Mister Gate chuckled like a sly old fox. “However, as to what time the shop will open, how much it will be sold for, that will depend on my mood for that day.”
There would only be one for sale a day and whoever got there first would get it! Based on the price here today, it was definitely worth it.
Now, everyone was excited. This was such a good deal! They would simply sleep here in the future! Regardless of what happened, as long as they managed to get their hands on one, they would definitely profit from it!
Everyone started laying their mats down on the ground everywhere. There were some who were obviously sharper. They asked Mister Gate, “Mister, what about the stores upstairs...”
“They will all follow the same rules.” Gate chuckled and said, “Of course, when I decide to go upstairs will depend on my mood!”
“Waha—” Gate had just finished his sentence when people started running upstairs in a frenzy. It was not a joking matter. If they got there late, they would regret it for the rest of their lives!
...
Shortly thereafter, level twenty-three, outside Dali’s Weapon Shop.
By this time, there were hundreds of people waiting outside the shop. All of them were here for the weapon that was displayed in the shop. There were a total of three attribute gems embedded in the weapon and the selling price was just one thousand!
If they did not come to try their luck, wouldn’t they be missing out on such a good deal?
That was why everyone who heard the news ran here like crazy. Many of them were even owners of the other shops here.
After all, many of these shops were running small businesses with low gains. If they managed to earn a few hundred Galaxy Dollars a day, their business would already be considered prosperous. If they managed to get such a beautiful weapon, it would be enough to cover their earnings for a couple of days!
However, people were sure to get annoyed if they were just going to sit around and wait. Just as everyone was getting bored, a loud and arrogant laugh was heard. “Hahahaha. What is happening here? Everyone is gathered here? Since I’m here, all of you, scram! Don’t be an eyesore!”
Who was so arrogant?
Everyone turned their heads to look and saw an orange-level Honorary Aristocrat laughing and walking toward them.
He was twenty-four or twenty-five, with short golden-colored hair and an arrogant laugh.
Where he had passed by, people secretly peered up at his cloak—Aristocrat.Tianyi!
An Honorary Aristocrat was here. The people did not dare do anything which might slight him, so they hurriedly bowed. Everyone moved back by three steps to clear a path.
This was an orange-level Honorary Aristocrat. They could not afford to displease him. Otherwise, if he decided to beat them up, they would be counted lucky if they did not die from the beating!
“What is this?” Aristocrat Tianyi walked to the entrance of Hong Dali’s Weapon Shop with two guards and looked inside. “Such a dingy shop, with only one weapon for sale? What is this?” As he spoke, he looked at a person beside him and crooked his finger at him while saying, “You, come here.”
“Lord Aristocrat!” The man did not dare to oppose him. He lowered his head and slowly came forward.
“What is happening here?” Tianyi looked at the shopfront. “Why are there so many people crowded around here?”
“It’s like this, Lord Aristocrat.” The man answered carefully, “This shop is opened by an Honorary Aristocrat too, a Double Honorary Aristocrat. However, no one knows what he is thinking. It is rumored that every weapon here is being sold at only one thousand Galaxy Dollars....”
“Oh?” Tianyi was immediately shocked when he heard that information. He stroked his chin and muttered. “Double Honorary Aristocrat? What is his level?”
“I think, I think it’s...” The man tried his best to recall. “I think his cloak is golden and his name is... is... oh yes, Aristocrat.Dali. I heard that he was here with the exalted Galaxy Aristocrat, Lord Tianzong.”
“Hmm. Dali?” Tianyi thought about it then said to himself, “Double Honorary Aristocrat? That means he is well-versed in battle and in business. Golden cloak... that means he is a double orange-level Honorary Aristocrat. This is what he has set up? A business that loses money? Could he be a string-puller? That’s possible.”
As he spoke he looked at the man. “How is Aristocrat Dali’s relationship with Lord Tianzong?”
“They were very close.”
“Okay. I got it.” Tianyi suddenly smiled and kicked the door of Dali’s Weapon Shop. “Open for business, where is the salesperson? Isn’t there anyone here?”
It was a very hard kick. With a loud boom, the door of Dali’s Weapon Shop fell down and landed on the ground, sending up a cloud of dust.
Arrogantly, he went straight in. Everyone was so shocked and took another step back.
He was practically issuing a challenge. What was this Honorary Aristocrat thinking?
“No one is coming out? Then this weapon is mine!” Tianyi chuckled and approached the weapon. The moment he touched the weapon, his eyebrows arched violently—two Energy +9 gems, one Agility +8 gem!
Goodness, this Aristocrat Dali was really a prodigal. These two items were so valuable and he sold them for one thousand?
Honestly speaking, any person who managed to become an Honorary Aristocrat would definitely not be stupid. He touched the weapon and in just a little more than seconds, a host of possible outcomes flashed through his head. Without saying another word, he threw twenty thousand Galaxy Dollars on the ground and prepared to leave.
Before he even reached the door, a gruff voice called out from behind him. “Which bastard dares to create trouble here?”
It was the great Mister Gate!
“Oh, hehe. It’s nothing.” Tianyi dashed another three steps forward before he turned around and got ready to fight. He looked at the giant standing at the door. “You’re the salesperson at this shop?” He looked calm, but his heart was beating fast.
He was a powerful man who had managed to get past level twenty-two of the Tower of Trials, but this huge man had actually managed to sneak up to within five meters behind him without being detected. It was obvious that this giant was not ordinary!
“This is my son’s shop.” Mister Gate looked down at him. “You kicked the door of our shop down and you’re leaving just like that?”
“This can be considered as just one of the ways I make my greeting.” Luckily, things were not too bad. Tianyi felt fearful as he quickly said, “I did leave some money as compensation. Two thousand dollars should be enough to pay for a main door like this. I left twenty thousand. I’m also an Honorary Aristocrat. We can be considered family, right?”
“Who is your family?” Mister Gate raised his fist. “You kicked my son’s shop door in. We’ll talk after I beat you up.”
Seeing that he was about to attack, Tianyi decided to ignore everything else and concentrated on the fight first!
In an instant, he pulled a long snake-like sword out from behind him. The sword was four feet long. Then, he started to move. First, he jumped back, then he thrust the sword forward.
He had managed to pass level twenty-two of the Tower of Trials. His movements were obviously quite fast. When he thrust the sword at Gate, who was ten over meters away, the sword’s energy was upon Gate in the blink of an eye. A blinding white light sliced the air and slashed down. You could imagine the result of such a slash on the body.
“Crackle!” A sound of the air rending was heard. Mister Gate casually punched the air and the sword’s energy instantly shattered and dissipated.
“Compared to Little Mihawk, your sword’s energy is still too weak.” As he spoke, Mister Gate dashed forward. He instantly snatched Tianyi up like a chick and held him in his hands. “How would you like a concussion?”
God!
An orange-level Honorary Aristocrat was caught by the head just like that?! This... wasn’t this too far-fetched?!
The onlookers were all dumbfounded. Most were terrified—where did this giant come from? He was so scarily strong that he did not even give in to an Honorary Aristocrat?!
If he continued, the Honorary Aristocrat was likely to end up dead. The crowd was so shocked that their hearts were in their throats. If the Honorary Aristocrat really died here, then...
Luckily, just at this time, a low voice said, “Well, well, well. If it isn’t White Beard Gate. Why are you so angry? What has this young fellow done to anger you? How about giving me some face?”
It was an old man who looked like he was about sixty-years-old. He was skinny and had snow-white hair that went past his ears. His eyebrows were about an inch or so long and he was wearing a flowery shirt. He had round sunglasses. Below, he had on a bermudas and slippers.
It was the mysterious old man who had saved the young couple!
“Oh? I didn’t expect to see you here.” Gate narrowed his eyes and glanced at him. Suddenly the corner of his lips lifted. “Why? Want to fight me?”
“Hehe, fight with you, Gate? I’m not that...” The old man lifted his head and clasped his hands behind his back. He smiled and said, “However, I think that you will probably give me some face, right?”
“What is your face worth?” Gate curled his lips. “This brat kicked down my son’s main door. It’s reasonable for me to punish him. Right?”
Everyone was horrified. The giant’s tone was really menacing. It seemed that their conversation... forget it, they would just pretend they did not hear anything.
“You son? This shop?” The old man looked around and asked curiously, “Actually, this shop is rather interesting. Yes, how about this. Let him go and I’ll treat you to wine.”
“Perhaps.” The great Mister Gate threw Tianyi out of the main door like rubbish and said, “This shop is under my protection. If you are trying to create trouble, go elsewhere! Scram!”
Tianyi, who was all arrogant just a while ago, turned ashen. He lost in just one move. He did not dare to be cocky anymore and quickly retreated...
He might have escaped, but Tianyi was not willing to just give up like that. Although he thought highly of himself, to have such innate talent, he would not be a fool. Not only did he not get scared, other ideas began to form in his head.
