Perhaps only those who paid attention to details would find that although Avenue Bright looked boisterous this year, it was actually a little bit boring. "It's said that Captain Kerlin has bought a house nearby. That's really admirable. The house here is the most expensive in Blackhot City. So many women want to marry a man who can buy a house here. Let's wish Captain Kerlin can find a beautiful hostess for your mansion! "
Barley was really good at observing people's expressions. The moment he touched Captain Kerlin's lips, he had recovered his composure.
"Hmm. Don't wander outside too late... "Captain Kerlin glanced over Barley and Sharwin for a short while. He really couldn't find any reason to lose his temper, so he said in a muffled voice before striding forward.
Seeing Captain Kerlin leaving, Barley and Sharwin exchanged glances with each other before letting out a sigh. The one-eyed man's unhappiness was almost completely written on his face today. If it was in the past, when the one-eyed man stood at the school gate with this expression, all the people who passed by the school gate would feel their legs go soft. Fortunately, he was finally sent away. Just a minute ago, the two of them were still talking about Miss Daina. If the One-eyed Dragon had walked up to them a minute earlier and heard their conversation, he might have crippled them on the spot.
"That was close..." Sharwin said as he patted his chest.
"Given the one-eyed man's look, it seems that he hasn't made any progress in pursuing Miss Daina!" Barley rubbed his chin with one hand as he watched Captain Kerlin disappearing in the crowd.
"Nonsense, do you want to see Miss Daina being pressed by this wild beast? To be honest. No matter which man Miss Daina is with, I will not accept it... "
Barley shook his head as he sniffed, "Let's go. Let's finish our business first. We don't need to worry about other people's business!"
Sharwin nodded.
Of course, the two were not here for a simple stroll. A few minutes later, they appeared in a chartered room of a high-end restaurant in Avenue Bright. After waiting for about ten minutes, First Lieutenant Clark of the Logistics Department of the 19th Division of the Iron-Horn Army appeared in the chartered room in a set of civilian clothes.
After a table of very expensive wine and delicacies. Barley skillfully took out a purse from his body and pushed it to Lieutenant Clark.
Clark took the bag and casually weighed it. After figuring out the weight inside, a smile appeared on his face as he raised his glass. "Come, for the sake of our cooperation next year, cheers!"
"Cheers!"
The three glasses clinked together …
…
After dinner, the waiter brought the menu into the private room to settle the bill.
"That's a total of 96 silver coins and 86 copper coins. May I know who's paying?"
"Let me do it!" Barley said as he generously took out a gold coin and threw it over. "Keep the change!"
"Thank you!" The waiter bowed and left.
After chatting with Barley and Sharwin for a short while, Clark left. After everyone else left, Sharwin drew in a cold breath in the chartered room, "Ahh, that's too luxurious. I've not imagined that I could spend almost 1 gold coin on a meal. I'm not full yet!"
"He's trying to save his face!" Ba said in an experienced tone, "If it's not this kind of place, I tell you, even Clark would not come here if you change to a low-class restaurant!"
"Still not coming? We're giving him gold coins. Just now, when you took out over 60 gold coins, even I felt a little heartache. We've been working hard for a year and only earned over 100 gold coins. Now, you've given away half of it …" Sharwin sighed with emotion.
"Don't worry, don't just focus on that bit of money. As long as we keep a good relationship with Clark, we will make more money from him next year. This is just the beginning of building trust between us." Barley gritted his teeth and said, "Let's go, catch up with that waiter..."
"What for?" Sharwin became stunned.
"Ask him to give us change. Damn, that's 3 silver coins and 14 copper coins. Madam Anna's business is not doing well these days. If he is a regular customer, he can go to Madam Anna's place twice with that money."
Hearing Barley's words, the two hurriedly rushed out of the chartered room.
...
"Sir, didn't you... say no change?" The waiter stared at Barley with an amazed look.
"You might have misheard me. I said 4 copper coins, keep the change, it's your tip. As for the remaining 3 silver coins and 10 copper coins, please give me as soon as possible. Hurry up, we've got something to do!" Barley said without a shameful look.
At last, the waiter put the change of 3 silver coins and 14 copper coins into Barley's hand with a stiff face. Between the "tip" of 4 copper coins and his "dignity", the waiter had to choose between the "tip" of 4 copper coins. The waiter didn't even struggle before choosing the latter.
...
After leaving the restaurant, Barley and Sharwin hurriedly rushed to a high-end clothing store in Avenue Bright. Before that, they found a storage place and put on their relatively common clothes. After folding the clothes which cost more than 2 gold coins, they put them back into the packing box and took them back to the clothing store. After that, they returned to the clothing store for a refund.
"Sir, is there any problem with our clothes?" The waiter stared at Barley and Sharwin with the same depressed look.
"No problem. It's just that we suddenly don't want it anymore. The rule here isn't seven days. As long as the clothes are in good condition and the labels are still on, can we return them without any reason? We bought these clothes yesterday, so there should be no problem! "Barley said with a solemn look.
The waiter carefully checked the two clothes and found that they were indeed in good condition with the labels still on them. Therefore, he returned the money back to Barley.
...
After walking out of the clothing store and walking on the street, Barley and Sharwin glanced at each other before bursting out into laughter at the same time.
After that, Barley put his hand on Sharwin's shoulder. "Brother, don't worry. One day, we will not choose clothes in this store anymore! "
"If we don't choose clothes in this store, where can we choose clothes?"
"We will have our own tailors, the best ones, just like those big figures in the Coal, Steel, and Iron Federation in Blackhot City..." Barley said with a longing look.
Sharwin smiled pleasantly. "Of course I believe you!"
"Let's go home early today. Tomorrow, we will buy some new year's goods for Doug and Bagdad. We will send some to the families of Leit and Hista. I'm afraid that they will only have a few days' holiday after the new year! "
"It's said that Bagdad has already become a LV 3 warrior..."
"This guy has indeed made great progress. It's been less than two years since he graduated, but he has already lit three burning points!"
"I wonder how Bighead is doing now. He should be more powerful! "
"This guy might have already reached LV 6!"
Speaking of Zhang Tie, Barley and Sharwin both revealed a special look. That was their good brother, a good brother that they could be proud of.
...
After that, Barley and Sharwin separated. As it was already very late, they returned home respectively.
Barley's home was in a nice residential area in Blackhot City. When Barley returned to that residential area, it was almost 12 o'clock. At this time, there was no one in the residential area. It was quiet everywhere except for the faint barks of dogs in the distance.
A few days ago, a man jumped to his death in the residential area. He died miserably as his brain sprayed more than 10 meters away. A gust of cold wind blew over. Looking at the shadows on both sides of the road that couldn't be illuminated by the streetlights, Barley hurriedly quickened his pace as goosebumps appeared on his neck.
A hand silently reached out from the darkness and rested on Barley's shoulder without him noticing.
In a split second, Barry's scalp exploded and his legs went soft. His earth-shattering scream had just escaped from his mouth when his mouth was covered by someone.
"It's me!" At this moment, Barley heard a voice which he thought was an illusion. The moment Barley turned around, he saw Zhang Tie's faintly familiar face.
Zhang Tie also revealed a faint smile which Barley was familiar with. Seeing Barley's widely opened eyes, Zhang Tie knew that Barley had recognized him. Therefore, he moved his hand away from Barley's mouth. "I haven't seen you for more than one year. How could you be so scared by a pat on your shoulder?"
"Bighead?" Barley muttered in shock. At this moment, even if the guy who had jumped off the building was standing in front of him, he would not be so shocked.
"It's been a long time since someone called me this nickname!" Zhang Tie rubbed his face.
"You're back?"
