Noticing the abnormal atmosphere, the manager of the VIP area hurriedly ran over.
"Young Master Gregory, if you need a female assistant, we'll arrange it for you later!"
"Why do we have to wait for the future? Aren't they standing there right now? I've already made my choice!" the little brat said with a cold face.
"Someone else is choosing!" the manager of the VIP area explained.
"It doesn't matter. I only choose Mary. No matter what, I haven't heard anyone else choosing her. According to the rules of the fighting club, as long as someone hasn't chosen her, I can choose her. Is there any problem?" The annoying brat pretended to be an adult and started to lecture the manager. "Don't say that Mary has already been chosen. There are so many people here. Has anyone heard Mary's name being called or seen anyone choosing her? I'm the first one to call her name, so she's mine! "
The manager of the VIP area was so choked that he couldn't speak.
Since the brat walked over, Zhang Tie had been staring at him. He was very curious, "Why would such an ignorant guy still want to annoy me on such a trifling matter even though the Gregory family has already reconciled with me?"
Zhang Tie was a bit confused.
"Your surname is Gregory?" Zhang Tie asked the brat.
"Of course!" the brat proudly raised his head and continued to provoke Zhang Tie.
"The Gregory family of Blackhot City?"
The brat harrumphed.
"Do you know who I am?" Zhang Tie asked, pointing at his own nose.
"I know!" The brat revealed an evil smile. "Over two months ago, I was the lowest-level flesh-bag in the fighting club. It was the first time for me to see that he couldn't even stand ten seconds and was knocked out by my kick. Hahahaha..."
This brat said it out loud on purpose, making Zhang Tie lose face. While the brat was laughing, the two bodyguards beside him stared at Zhang Tie nervously. They were both LV 6 black spiders. They knew that Zhang Tie could even kill a black spider in a split second when he was heavily injured. Seeing Zhang Tie slightly squinting his eyes at Gregory, the two bodyguards moved one step forward, intending to protect Gregory.
Instead of moving, Zhang Tie smiled. "Your surname is Gregory. Because of this surname, you have a lot of privileges in the Fighting Club. Also because of this surname, you can stand here and talk so much with me today. There are many people at your age in Blackhot City, but I'm afraid that none of them would dare to say these words in front of a military officer of the Norman Empire. May I ask you a question? "" What is it? "
"I know that children from rich families like you are very precocious. So, are you telling me this on behalf of Gregory Clan? "Zhang Tie asked with a smile as the surrounding air froze at once.
The wimpy brat originally wanted to say, "Of course!" But just as he was about to say it, an inexplicable feeling instantly made his heart tremble. He swallowed the words that were about to come out of his mouth. "Of … Of course not. Even if you're an official of the Empire, do you think you can stop people from speaking? I'm also a citizen of the Norman Empire. Are you wearing this military uniform to frighten the commoners of the Norman Empire? Which law of the Norman Empire forbids people like me to talk to you? " Which of the words I said just now is false? Am I slandering you? Didn't I choose Mary as my female assistant before you opened your mouth? Do you think I don't have the right to do so? Or does the Iron-Thorns Fighting Club need to bow down to a second lieutenant of the Norman Empire? "
Seeing Zhang Tie being speechless, the wimpy brat became more proud.
At this moment, even Manager Hance was alarmed and hurried over. Seeing Manager Hance at the entrance of the VIP area, Zhang Tie smiled.
"Of course, you have the right to do so. You're right. I'm the consultant of the Fighting Club. I indeed have no reason to argue with the guests. You're very welcome to spend money here!" After saying this, Zhang Tie glanced at Mary. "Mary, since young master Gregory has chosen you to be his assistant, you should serve him well. Go!"
Gregory led Mary away proudly, and the atmosphere in the VIP area became relaxed once again.
Manager Hance, who had hurriedly arrived, cast a deep glance at Zhang Tie before also leaving.
Seeing Zhang Tie being humiliated, Benet seemed to be even more unhappy than Zhang Tie.
"Why did you yield to him? Gregory was too excessive just now. It was you who chose Mary first. Not only did he snatch her away, he even humiliated you with embarrassing words. Why didn't you teach him a lesson?" Benet asked Zhang Tie angrily.
"Will you wrestle with a wild boar in a mud pit?" Zhang Tie asked Benet.
Benet shook his head.
"Then why do you want me to argue with an idiot who only knows how to show off his eloquence? If you wrestle with a wild boar, no matter if you win or lose, you will make yourself very dirty. If you argue with such an idiot, no matter if you win or lose, you will make yourself look as stupid as him. "
Thinking about it carefully, Benet seemed to have understood.
"To deal with a wild boar in a mud pit, you might need to use a spear and a crossbow. However, to deal with such an idiot who only knows how to show off his eloquence, you don't even need to do anything, because his stupidity is enough for him to die!"
"What do you mean?" Benet became a bit confused.
"What's his position in the inheritance of the Gregory family?"
"Below the 40th position. He's from a branch of the Gregory family!"
A brat from a branch of the Gregory family. Zhang Tie shook his head.
"Just wait and see. Today is the last time this brat will come to the Iron-Thorns Fighting Club!"
Zhang Tie had already understood this brat's thoughts. When a person who thought that he had been living a good life since he was young found out that a guy whom he looked down upon, whom he could casually kick into a coma, who was not even qualified to be his flesh-bag, had suddenly changed his identity and caused his family to suffer a great loss due to an accident, how would he feel about that guy?
This kind of feeling and emotion would be very complex. If he still treated Zhang Tie as the "lowly flesh-bag who had been casually trampled by him and could only earn 80 copper coins per hour because of his family's great loss", he might do something as stupid as what Gregory had done today.
… …
After such a scene, Zhang Tie didn't feel like staying in the fighting club any longer. Additionally, what had happened today might have scared Mary too much. Thus, he didn't want to continue with the small conflict between them. After bidding farewell to Benet, Zhang Tie went to Manager Hance to receive one year's salary — more than 1000 gold coins, which weighed more than 20 kg. Afterwards, he left the Iron-Thorns Fighting Club.
Avenue Bright was still luxurious. Even though the business on this avenue was not as good as before, the shops on both sides of the avenue were still selling the best items that could be bought in Blackhot City.
After leaving the fighting club, Zhang Tie fought on this street for more than ten minutes. Only then did he arrive at the jewelry store that he was looking for.
The items in the jewelry store were all glittering and dazzling, and there were a few shop assistants standing behind the counter. It was in a glass cubicle next to the counter. Zhang Tie also saw seven or eight jewelry craftsmen knocking on their workbenches.
Besides selling jewelry, you could also customize and process jewelry here. According to the girls of Rose Association, this was the best jewelry store in Blackhot City.
Zhang Tie's military uniform made him warmly welcomed the moment he entered the store.
Zhang Tie carefully selected the items on the counter. There were so many items in the store that he was almost dazzled by them. Finally, a set of gold jewelry fell into his eyes. It was a set of gold jewelry made of roses. The design was very unique and beautiful. It included a ring, a bracelet, a pair of earrings and a necklace. In Blackhot City, this would be a very decent dowry for a daughter...
"Let me have a look at this set of jewelry!"
"Okay!" The enthusiastic shop assistant immediately took out the jewelry set on the green velvet tray.
Zhang Tie looked at it and was very satisfied.
"How much does this set of jewelry cost?" Zhang Tie asked.
"Please wait a moment! This set of jewelry can be sold separately or as a set. Let me calculate it for you. The ring weighs 13.6 grams, the bracelet weighs 78.8 grams, the necklace weighs 31.5 grams, and the pair of earrings weighs 21 grams. The total weight is 144.9 grams. Including the processing fee, we will charge you 8 gold coins and 38 silver coins... "
Eight gold coins weighed 200 grams, which meant 38 silver coins contained 9.5 grams of gold. Zhang Tie instantly calculated the premium of this set of gold jewelry — — 44.5%. It was indeed the best jewelry store in Blackhot City. Although the premium of other jewelry stores was less than 30%, the premium here was close to 50%. However, after seeing the exquisite workmanship of the jewelry, Zhang Tie felt that it was suitable. What was most important was that someone liked it.
"Can you engrave words on this set of jewelry?"
"Of course, we can engrave words on the rings and bracelets. We will engrave words that you want to say to your beloved for free!" At the sight of Zhang Tie's age and look, the shrewd shop assistant seemed to have guessed who Zhang Tie was going to gift this set of jewelry to. "Do you plan to gift this set of jewelry to your beloved?"
Zhang Tie smiled as he nodded in a bashful way.
"If you plan to give it to your sweetheart, this set of jewelry will definitely be her lifelong collection and souvenir. Engraving her name or whatever you want to say to her on the jewelry will be a very romantic thing!" This business seemed to have been done. Therefore, the shop assistant was in a good mood and became more enthusiastic towards Zhang Tie. "Do you want it?"
"Of course!"
"We can also gift you a delicate box and a bunch of fresh roses." The shop assistant also smiled. "After receiving it, your sweetheart will definitely like it!"
"I also think so!" Zhang Tie smiled. "I want 82 sets of such jewelry!"
"What?" The shop assistant almost couldn't believe his ears. He stared at Zhang Tie with widely opened eyes. "What did you say?"
"I said, I want 82 sets of such jewelry!" Zhang Tie repeated it once again.
The shop assistant's gaze towards Zhang Tie was filled with suspicion and vigilance. He felt that Zhang Tie was here to swindle money with 82 sets of clothes.
Finally, the boss of the jewelry store in a pair of gold-rimmed glasses came out and invited Zhang Tie to a lounge behind the counter. … …
"You want 82 sets of such jewelry?" The boss of the jewelry store asked carefully. Actually, he had already prepared to spend money to avoid the disaster. Although the soldiers of the Norman Empire had a good reputation, there might be some black sheep among them. Businessmen were most afraid of unreasonable soldiers with sabers in their hands.
"Yes!"
"Would you like to pay cash or …"
"Cash!" Zhang Tie lifted the handbag which contained over 1,000 gold coins and put it on the tea-table with a "pa" sound. After that, he opened the zipper of the handbag, revealing the brilliant golden light inside.
"We don't have so many sets of jewelry. It might take some time to stock them up!" The boss let out a sigh at once as he silently wiped off his cold sweat.
"How many days?"
"Three days!"
"Fine, no problem. I can pay first. I will come back to pick them up three days later!" Zhang Tie said straightforwardly. In Blackhot City, he was really not afraid that anyone dared to take advantage of him.
… …
Ten minutes later, Zhang Tie left the jewelry store with a bit more than 200 gold coins in his handbag. After entering the jewelry store, Zhang Tie had spent the largest sum of money in his life.
The boss of the jewelry store didn't sweat when he counted the money; however, when he saw Zhang Tie write down the words that he was going to carve on the set of jewelry rings, he started to sweat at once.
"To my beloved baby Angel — — Zhang Tie"
"To my beloved baby Susan — — Zhang Tie"
"To my beloved baby Fiona — — Zhang Tie"
"To my beloved baby Sharapova — — Zhang Tie"
"To my beloved baby Victoria — — Zhang Tie"
"To my beloved baby Jennifer — — Zhang Tie"
"To my beloved baby Hiltina — — Zhang Tie"
"To my beloved baby Helena — — Zhang Tie"
… …
There were 82 names of different treasures engraved on that set of jewelry. Besides, Zhang Tie also chose three unique rings which were inlaid with some huge high-quality gems and had the jewelry store engrave some words on them.
Zhang Tie gave Pandora a ring which was inlaid with a black seal gem. Zhang Tie felt that the black gem matched Pandora very well. On the back of the ring, Zhang Tie had someone engrave a sentence — — "I know you love me in your own way. I love you too — — Zhang Tie"
Zhang Tie gave Beverly a ring which was inlaid with a ruby. At the sight of the ruby on the ring, Zhang Tie recalled Beverly's passionate short hair and beautiful face. On the back of the ring, Zhang Tie also had someone engrave a sentence — — "I know you're not only as beautiful as a ruby, but also as pure as a ruby — — Zhang Tie"
The third ring was for Alice, a sapphire ring. In Zhang Tie's eyes, Alice's tears on the bed were like rolling sapphires. After struggling for a long time, Zhang Tie finally engraved the sentence on the back of the ring — — "I wish you more happiness than the sea in the future — — Zhang Tie!"
A man who could spend more than 800 gold coins in a jewelry store was not a god. There had been such a man before, but a man who could gift 85 treasures and sweethearts at the same time was definitely a god. Therefore, when Zhang Tie left, the boss, the clerks, and even the workers in the processing workshop all moved out. They all looked at Zhang Tie as if he was a god.
