- On December 29th, there was already a Chinese New Year atmosphere in Heiyan City. Many of the shop windows and doorways on both sides of Mingguang Street, the most glamorous city in Heiyan City, were decorated with colorful lanterns. Many businesses and restaurants They all launch promotional activities in order to make a good fortune during the Chinese New Year. At this time in previous years, even ordinary people in Heiyan City who rarely come to Mingguang Street for shopping will take advantage of the festive atmosphere to indulge in luxury. , feel the life of those rich people in Black Flame City.
Perhaps only those who are attentive will find that although Mingguang Street still looks lively this year, there are actually fewer people who once dominated the seven powerful families of the Black Flame City Coal and Steel Federation appearing in some of the top consumer places on Mingguang Street. A lot.
Since the beginning of this year, these seven once-powerful families in Black Flame City have slowly faded out of the sight of ordinary people in Black Flame City. Although many of the industries and businesses of the seven families in Black Flame City seem to be still prosperous, There are fewer and fewer people from the seven families showing up in Black Flame City. There are rumors that many people from these seven families, especially young people, have left Black Flame City and gone to other countries.
Captain Colin finally bought a 140-square-meter house on Mingguang Street. It was not that he had finally saved enough money, but that the housing prices in Black Flame City had dropped a bit, finally allowing the most terrifying one-eyed dragon in Black Flame City to have his own house. Although there is a "love nest", the mistress of the room is still missing.
A few days ago, Captain Colin mustered up the courage to confess his love to Teacher Dinah, but the reply he got was Teacher Dinah's sentence - "Thank you, we are not suitable!" This shocked Captain Colin so much that he almost collapsed. . The whole person was depressed for several days.
With the New Year approaching, Captain Colin wondered if he would go crazy if he stayed here alone again, looking at the empty and desolate room with only himself and wine bottles on the floor.
So, Captain Colin put on his coat. Standing in front of the mirror in the bathroom, he washed his face carelessly with cold water, then put some water on his hands and tidied up his messy lion-like hair. Then, the red-eyed Cyclops left where he was. That apartment building.
This is not far from the Iron Thorn Battle Hall. After being depressed for a few days, Captain Colin planned to go to the battle hall to practice his skills to cheer himself up again. If he was lucky, he would go to the battle hall to fight with the fat man in the battle hall.
In the past few days, the money spent on drinking alone has emptied Captain Colin's already thin wallet. Squeezing the few hard silver coins and copper plates in his coat pocket, Captain Colin secretly cursed the profiteers who sold the wine at twice the price last year, and then walked out.
Exiting the apartment building is Mingguang Street. At this time, Guangming Street is at night, and the whole street is brightly lit. The streets were full of people coming and going.
Looking at the well-dressed pretty boys with slender arms and legs holding women on the street, One-Eyed Dragon straightened up his solid chest muscles, and a trace of confidence returned to him.
If it really comes to troubled times, Dinah will know that the only man who can truly protect her, give her dependence and sense of security is herself, not these little boys who only use words to make women happy. Only the fist of a strong man can make a woman happy. Dinah will soon understand that she is the best person to rely on in troubled times.
That guy Jerome still wants to be a mercenary. Huh, doesn¡¯t he know that at this time, when I show my value and shine around Dinah, men will change themselves for the environment. What's more, as a woman, I will not give up. Dinah will definitely change her mind one day.
Captain Colin was cheering himself up while walking, and once again strengthened his determination to pursue Dinah.
Now that I have a house, maybe I should be like those pretty boys, buy myself a few sets of decent clothes, and then find time to go to the barber shop to get my hair done
The bustling shops along Mingguang Street gave Cyclops a lot of inspiration. Cyclops cheered up again. He held his head high, chest puffed out, and strode among the crowd.
¡°Well, if you want to do these things, you¡¯d better get some money first.
Thinking of the fat man in the Iron Thorn Battle Hall, Captain Colin showed a smile on his face and quickened his pace.
He just thought of the fat man. He immediately saw a fat man in front of the one-eyed dragon, but this fat man was much more insignificant than the fat man in the battle hall.
Captain Colin walked forward quickly, and a big hand fell heavily on the fat man's shoulder.
Barry, who had a few pimples on his face, turned his head and saw the one-eyed dragon that had shrouded him in a thick shadow for half of his adolescence, walking with Barry behind him.Chauvin was also shocked when he saw Captain Colin.
There is another lesson that the countless principals of Black Flame City No. 7 Middle School have learned with their blood that will still apply after graduation - unless you can beat that one-eyed dragon, otherwise, even if you graduate from school, you will still have the most respect for the one-eyed dragon. So as to maintain enough respect. For a man who dared to beat up even the commander in the army, if this guy wanted to beat up a former student of his, he would definitely not look at the situation.
"Ah, Captain Colin, are you shopping here too?" As soon as he saw Captain Colin, the fat guy Barry smiled like a local dog that had picked up a lot of rotten meat, almost sticking out his tongue.
Chauvin also quickly said hello to Captain Colin.
The one-eyed dragon frowned slightly and looked at the wretched fat man in front of him. The neat woolen suit and silk shirt on Barry's body made the one-eyed dragon slightly unhappy. The one-eyed dragon couldn't figure out why a guy like Barry wasn't even qualified to be a soldier. The ignorant fat man seems to be doing well in more than a year, but he has been frugally living and spending, but his pockets are often empty. God is so unfair. Pretty boys can attract women, these cunning and wretched guys He knows how to make money, but he has never had anything to do with money or women.
"What, where are you going?" the one-eyed dragon asked with a gloomy face.
"Ah, Shavin and I just came here for a casual stroll and bought some small gifts for my family." Barry said with a smile, "I heard that Captain Colin you bought a house nearby. It's really enviable. The house here But it is the most expensive in the entire Black Flame City. How many women want to marry someone who can buy a house here, so we wish Captain Colin to find a beautiful hostess for his mansion as soon as possible!"
Barry is very good at observing words and emotions. As soon as his upper lip and lower lip touched, Captain Colin's expression softened.
"Yeah. Don't wander out too late" Captain Colin's eyes turned on Barry and Chauvin. He really couldn't find anything easy to get angry about, so he said in a dull voice, and then He strode forward.
Seeing Captain Colin leave, Barry and Shavin looked at each other and breathed a sigh of relief. The one-eyed dragon's unhappiness today was almost completely displayed on his face. If in the past, when the one-eyed dragon stood at the school gate with this expression, the legs of all the people walking by the school gate would have been weak. Fortunately, he finally put it down. He sent it away. Just a minute ago, the two of them were still talking about Teacher Dinah. I really don¡¯t know if the one-eyed dragon would have crippled them both on the spot if he had walked behind them and heard those words.
"What a risk" Chauvin said, patting his chest.
"From the look of the one-eyed dragon, it seems that there is no progress in pursuing Teacher Dinah!" Barry rubbed his chin with one hand and said as he watched Captain Colin's back disappear into the crowd.
"Nonsense, do you want to see Teacher Dinah being pinned down by this beast? To be honest. No matter whether Teacher Dinah is with that man, I will find it a bit difficult to accept"
Barry shook his head and sniffed, "Let's go and take care of our affairs first. It's not our turn to worry about such trivial matters!"
Chauvin nodded.
Of course, the two of them did not come here just to go shopping. A few minutes later, the two of them appeared in the private room of a high-end restaurant on Mingguang Street. After waiting for almost ten minutes, they changed into casual clothes and were the logistics of the 19th Division of the Iron Horn Army. Lieutenant Clark from the Ministry appeared in the private room of the restaurant.
After a table of very expensive wine and food. Barry skillfully took out a money bag from his body and gently pushed it in front of Lieutenant Clark.
Lieutenant Clark took the bag and weighed it casually. After understanding the weight inside, a smile appeared on his face, and then he raised his glass. "Come on, let's cheers for our faster cooperation next year!"
"cheers!"
Three wine glasses clinked together
¡¡
After the meal, the waiter took the menu and entered the private room to pay the bill.
"There are a total of 96 silver coins and 86 copper coins. Who will pay the bill?"
"I'll do it!" Barry said, generously taking out a gold coin and flicking it over, "No need to look for it!"
"Thank you!" The waiter bowed and left.
After chatting with Barry and Chauvin for a few words, Clark left first. After everyone left, Chauvin breathed in the air-conditioning in the private room, "Ah, it's so luxurious. I didn't expect to eat it in one meal." I¡¯ve paid almost a gold coin, and I¡¯m not full yet!¡±
"This is all about saving face!" Barry said in a mature tone, "If it weren't for a place like this, and you find a lower-end restaurant, I tell you, Clark might not even come!"
"If you don't do this, we will give him gold coins. When you took out the more than sixty gold coins just now, I felt a little distressed. We have been working hard for a year, and we have only earned one." There are more than a hundred gold coins, and now half of the money is taken out" Shavin sighed.
"Don't worry, don't just focus on the money. As long as we grasp Clark's line, next year, the money will be doubled from him. This is just the beginning of building trust between the two parties." Barry gritted his teeth and said, " Let¡¯s go and catch up with the waiter"
"What?" Shavin was stunned for a moment.
"Ask him to give us change. Damn, that's three silver coins and fourteen coppers. Madam Anna's business has been difficult recently. If you are a regular customer, you can use that money to visit Madam Anna twice. "
Hearing what Barry said, the two people rushed out of the private room in a hurry.
¡¡
"Sir, didn't yousaid you didn't need to look for it?" The waiter looked at Barry in surprise.
"You may have heard wrong. What I said is that you don't need to change the change for the four copper coins. Counting your tip, please bring the remaining three silver coins and ten copper coins to me as soon as possible. Hurry up and we'll pay you back." Something happened!" Barry said without any shame on his face.
Finally, the waiter put three silver coins and fourteen copper coins in change with a stiff face in the hands of the fat guy Barry. Between the crooked "tip" of four copper coins and his own "dignity" . The waiter chose the latter without any struggle.
¡¡
After leaving the restaurant, Barry and Chauvin hurried to a high-end clothing store on Mingguang Street. Before that, the two of them found a place to store their things and changed into their relatively ordinary clothes. The clothes that cost more than two gold coins each were folded again. Put it back in the box and take it back to the clothing store for return.
"Sir, is there something wrong with our clothes?" The clerk in the clothing store looked at Barry and Chauvin with the same depressed expression.
"No problem, it's just that we suddenly don't want it anymore. Your rules here are not within seven days. As long as the clothes are in good condition and the tags are still there, can we return them without reason? We bought these clothes yesterday, so there should be no problem! "Barry said seriously.
The clerk in the clothing store carefully inspected the two pieces of clothing and found that they were indeed in good condition, and the labels on the clothes were still there. Only the depressed man returned the money to Barry.
¡¡
After coming out of the clothing store and walking on the street, Barry and Shavin glanced at each other, and then they laughed together.
After the laughter, Barry put his hand on Shavin's shoulder, "Brother, don't worry. One day, we won't come to this kind of store to choose clothes again!"
¡°If you don¡¯t come to the store to choose, then where can you choose?¡±
"We will have our own tailors, the ones with the best skills, just like the big shots in the Coal and Steel Federation in Black Flame City" Barry said with a longing look.
Chauvin smiled happily, "Of course I believe it!"
"Let's go home early today. Tomorrow we will go buy some New Year's goods and send some to the homes of Doug, Baghdad, Wright and Siesta. They probably won't have any until after the New Year." A few days off!¡±
"I heard that Baghdad is about to become a third-level combatant"
"This guy's progress is indeed very fast. From graduation to now, in less than two years, he has already ignited three bright spots!"
"I don't know how Big Head is doing now. He should be even more powerful!"
"This guy might be at level six now!"
Speaking of Zhang Tie, both Barry and Shavin had some special looks on their faces. That was their good brother, a good brother who could make them proud.
¡¡
Barry and Shavin then separated. Because it was already very late, the two went home separately.
Barry's home is in a residential area with a good environment in Black Flame City. By the time Barry returned to that residential area, it was almost after twelve o'clock. At this time, there were no people in the residential area, and everything was a mess. Quiet, only the faint sound of dogs barking in the distance could be heard.
A few days ago, a man jumped from a building and died in a residential area. He died miserably. His brain matter was splashed ten meters away. A cold wind blew. Looking at the shadows on both sides of the road that could not be illuminated by the few lonely street lamps, When passing by the place where the jumper had an accident, Barry couldn't help but feel goosebumps on his neck, and he quickly quickened his pace.
A hand stretched out from the darkness silently, and it took hold of Ba Li when he was unaware of it.Lee's shoulders.
In an instant, Barry's scalp exploded and his whole body went limp. As soon as half a syllable escaped his mouth, the earth-shattering scream was covered by someone.
"It's me!" A voice that almost seemed like an illusion appeared in Barry's ears. When Barry turned around, he saw Zhang Tie's vague and familiar face.
Zhang Tie also had a smile on his face that was familiar to Barry. Seeing Barry's wide eyes, he knew that Barry had recognized him, so he took his hand away from Barry's mouth and said, "More than a year ago." No, why are you so timid? I slapped you on the shoulder and scared you like this?"
"Big head?" Barry muttered to himself in shock. At this time, even if the guy who jumped off the building was actually standing in front of him, he was not so shocked.
"It's been a long time since anyone called me this nickname!" Zhang Tie rubbed his face.
"You're back?"
