Chapter 305 : 305-306

Chapter 305-306: An Excellent Gentleman is Welcome Everywhere

“What’s wrong with that?” Luo Sheng looked at Mary Fate in confusion.

“This work of art is worth at least 50 gold coins, and you might not even be able to buy it with money!” Mary Fate said, taking on the appearance of a merchant.

She felt that if she didn’t tell Luo Sheng, he would lose a large sum of money for nothing.

How could such a valuable item be casually put up for sale?

Acoley stood by, staring blankly.

She had actually gotten used to Luo Sheng being able to produce strange and wonderful things.

Previously in Divatu City, Luo Sheng had brought out many items, such as flashlights, various medicines, and even exquisite outdoor stoves.

So, no matter what Luo Sheng brought out, she didn’t feel surprised anymore.

But Mary Fate kept tugging on Acoley’s arm, “Quickly control your boyfriend, or it will be a losing deal. You don’t want to see him lose so much, do you?”

“It’s actually fine,” Acoley said calmly.

“You’re too indulgent with your boyfriend! Aren’t you worried that one day, he’ll spend all his money and then have no money to marry you?” Mary Fate was filled with righteous indignation.

She felt that her good friend was completely lovesick.

Actually letting her boyfriend act recklessly.

Not even trying to control him or make plans for the future.

When Acoley heard the words “marry you”, her cheeks immediately turned as red as apples, “Actually, if he really wants to marry me, he doesn’t need money, something simple would do. I could make a good meal, and then…”

At this point, her face turned even redder, but her eyes held a hint of expectation.

“Oh my goodness!”

Mary Fate was speechless.

Her good friend had such low demands.

This silly girl would surely be deceived by Luo Sheng sooner or later.

Hmph, she wouldn’t bother with them anymore!

Mary Fate felt like she was going to be angered to death by them.

Luo Sheng looked at Mary Fate with amusement, feeling that she was worried about his money.

“Is this really so valuable?” Luo Sheng asked again.

“Of course it’s valuable. If it were mine, I would definitely keep it safe, or even take it to auction. The price would certainly be no less than 50 gold coins, possibly exceeding 70 gold coins,” Mary Fate said.

“Alright then, I’ll sell this pendulum to you. Can you come up with 50 gold coins?” Luo Sheng inquired once more.

“Uh…” Mary Fate immediately lowered her head.

She didn’t have that much money.

Luo Sheng laughed for a while, then looked at the pawnshop owner, “How much can you offer for this?”

“Hehe… We’re just a small business, we can only give you 45 gold coins at most.” The pawnshop owner laughed awkwardly.

If Mary Fate hadn’t directly quoted the price,

The pawnshop owner could have bought it at an even lower price.

Unfortunately, Mary Fate had ruined a good deal for him.

Luo Sheng hesitated for a moment, then nodded, “Alright, let’s go with that price then.”

“Hahaha, of course, no problem. Here’s the contract, once it’s signed, the deal is done.” The pawnshop owner immediately beamed with joy, quickly bringing out the contract and a pen.

He was afraid Luo Sheng might change his mind.

Luo Sheng also unhesitatingly signed his name on the contract, completing the transaction.

Mary Fate looked at him, very exasperated, “You’ve been lowballed. It’s such a loss, at least enough for us to go to the Eastern Special Restaurant half a time.”

“Because I was afraid he might back out,” Luo Sheng said with a smile.

Mary Fate tilted her head, looking at him in confusion: “Afraid he’d back out?”

“Mm.”

Luo Sheng nodded lightly, then continued to take out several identical pendulums from his Azure Feather Wood Shift.

All were exquisitely carved, the finest of the fine.

“You see, I still have more, don’t I?”

“This…!” Mary Fate was immediately speechless, but this time her eyes lit up even more, “You actually have so many pendulums.”

Is this guy a gold mine?

He can casually produce such an exquisite pendulum.

Whether in this kingdom or other countries, it’s impossible to manufacture such precise instruments, even though they already have time units.

But they are relatively crude, and the volume is also very large, only able to be installed on large buildings.

Luo Sheng looked at her surprised appearance, very pleased, and said: “So you know why I don’t care? Because I’m not short of them at all.”

“Acoley really found a good boyfriend, damn it, I also want to…” Mary Fate suddenly envied Acoley again.

However, an idea popped into Mary Fate’s mind: “How about this, give these to me first, I’ll find a way to sell them at a high price for you. When the time comes, you only need to give me 10% of the profit, no no no, even 5% is fine.”

Mary Fate threw away her previous thought of not caring about them anymore.

After all, Luo Sheng once again exceeded her expectations.

This guy, if he cooperates with her, Mary Fate estimates that her family’s business could take off instantly.

Of course, if Mary Fate’s father hadn’t failed in business and become a fallen noble, she wouldn’t be so particular about every little detail like now.

Luo Sheng saw her eager eyes.

He casually said: “Of course, no problem. I have some other odd things here that you should find useful. Just put all the money earned with Acoley.”

“As for how to split it, you can discuss it with her. Acoley represents me.”

As soon as Luo Sheng finished speaking, Acoley was immediately stunned.

She showed an expression of not knowing what to do.

These things were all very valuable, yet he actually entrusted her to handle the money earned.

“This doesn’t seem right, I’m just…” Acoley wanted to decline.

Luo Sheng held her hand, laughing: “If not you, then who? Should I give it to her?” Luo Sheng casually pointed at Mary Fate.

Mary Fate nodded frantically, “Yes, yes!”

Deals worth hundreds of gold coins in a matter of minutes, Mary Fate wished all this money could enter her own pocket.

“Mm…” Acoley shook her head.

She felt that Mary Fate was not quite right. If Luo Sheng used some more money to tempt her, Mary Fate would probably be willing to lie in bed too.

Luo Sheng traced Acoley’s nose, “Alright, I’ll leave it to you. Anyway, I’ll be leaving in a while, and you need money too. Just consider it our future wedding fund.”

At this, a faint blush appeared on Acoley’s fair and tender face, and her breathing became slightly hurried.

Especially when thinking about this being the wedding fund.

She didn’t know whether she was joyful or nervous.

Acoley finally nodded, “Okay, I’ll help you keep it safe.”

Mary Fate looked at the two of them, feeling very exasperated.

This guy was simply showing off his affection right in front of her.

Mary Fate felt like she had suffered 10,000 points of critical damage, her heart feeling a chill. She felt like she had won, but not completely.

But in her heart, she was also silently happy for Acoley. After all, she had found a very remarkable boyfriend and would no longer have to live those hard days.

In her heart, she still blessed Acoley.

“Let’s take the gold coins and go. If we’re any later, the restaurant will be full,” Mary Fate said, averting her gaze.

She didn’t notice.

At this moment, the pawnshop owner’s heart was even colder.

He felt that he had lost out.

Especially when Luo Sheng brought out a large number of exquisite art pieces, the merchant knew he had missed a huge opportunity.

With such a supplier who could provide unique goods, if he became the agent, he could monopolize the entire market.

How lucrative the profits would be.

Needless to say, everyone knew.

The merchant could only awkwardly say: “Here, sir, your money.”

Luo Sheng pocketed the gold coins.

Then he left the pawnshop with Acoley and Mary Fate.

At this time, Mary Fate asked curiously: “Luo Sheng, which noble family are you from? I’ve never heard of someone like you.”

“It’s normal that you haven’t heard of me. To be precise, I’m not a noble, just an ordinary person pretending to be a gentleman,” Luo Sheng said honestly.

There was nothing to hide from Mary Fate.

Anyway, Acoley would tell her sooner or later.

“But you’re so strong, how is it possible that you’re not famous in the kingdom?” Mary Fate pondered.

“It’s normal that you don’t know,” Acoley answered from the side.

“You should know, right?”

“Actually, I don’t know either. He’s too mysterious,” Acoley replied.

“But you’re his girlfriend, how is that possible?” Mary Fate found it even stranger.

“…” Acoley was a bit at a loss whether to laugh or cry, and finally admitted frankly: “Alright, I’m indeed not very competent.”

All along, it had been Luo Sheng taking care of her.

She had actually thought about getting to know Luo Sheng better.

Unfortunately, every time, she couldn’t truly touch his secrets.

She only knew that Luo Sheng was very mysterious, had no fixed abode, and possessed various powerful abilities.

Of course, most importantly, no matter what accident happened to her, he could always find her.

Acoley secretly looked at Luo Sheng’s face, some words stuck in her throat, not knowing how to speak them.

Luo Sheng patted her head and said: “Don’t listen to her too much. It’s normal that you don’t know. Some things can’t be understood by people. Of course, you’re the one who understands me the most in this world.”

“Really?”

“I wouldn’t lie to you. How about we have a deeper exchange tonight?” Luo Sheng reached out to hold her waist, half-jokingly said.

Acoley felt a tingling sensation come over her, and an indescribable shyness welled up in her heart.

She didn’t know how to answer.
