Alan didn't know if Alice's words were intentional or unintentional, but it made him understand that Athena didn't go out because of her training. As expected, his face was slightly relieved, and he continued to stare at Joseph fiercely.
When Athena saw her long-lost friend Alice, she finally smiled, "Alice!"
"Chen Rui is here too! Come here quickly! " In front of Joseph and Alan, Alice pulled Chen Rui and Athena to the second floor with one hand in each hand.
Kaguli, Kia and others were here. There were also a few guests, one of whom was injured. The guests seemed to be afraid to leave because the stairs were blocked by Joseph and Alan. Alice was checking the injured person's condition just now, so she didn't see Athena and Chen Rui immediately.
When Chen Rui asked Alice, he found out that the reason for the dispute between Joseph and Alan was because of the grand master's work, "burr puzzle". Of course, if there was no good show the night before yesterday, the two sides who were originally in cahoots would not have such a tense relationship.
The birthday of the empire's regent, Obsidian, was approaching. Alan wanted to buy the burr puzzle as a congratulatory gift and presented it to Prince Obsidian through his father in the capital. It just so happened that Joseph also came to the Princess Retail Store. After learning of Alan's intention, he offered to buy the burr puzzle at double the price. Alan originally hated Reus and Arux who killed Mikas and came to his door. Now that Joseph returned to the Dark Moon, not only did he not take the initiative to reconcile, but he also provocatively wanted to compete for the burr puzzle. Alan couldn't help but be furious. If it weren't for his lack of strength, he would have almost made a move. The injured guest was injured by Allen's lackeys because he had touched Allen's bad luck.
"Joseph, are you very rich? You should keep that money and continue to fight with your brother, Kanita! "Alan's greatest hostility returned to Joseph." I'll pay triple the price! This burr puzzle, I'm definitely getting it! "
The original price of the burr puzzle was 50,000 black crystal coins. Triple the price was 150,000. It was a huge sum of money!
The rule of the Devil Realm was that the highest bidder would win. Alice didn't bother to greet Chen Rui and Athena. Her big eyes were filled with the shapes of black crystal coins. She immediately asked, "This burr puzzle … Joseph, do you still want to increase the price?"
"Two hundred thousand." When Joseph heard Allen said Kanita's name bluntly, a cold light flashed in his eyes.
As Eren was about to speak, the lich on the side whispered, "Sir, we don't have enough money."
Seeing Joseph's smile, Allen was even more furious. He sneered and took out a few things, "I don't have enough money, but these magic equipment are of the best quality. If the little princess is willing, you can convert them into black crystal coins. I still have a lot of such equipment, and I can sell them to Your Highness cheaply."
Royce, who was behind Joseph, let out a low roar when he saw the magic equipment. A murderous aura surged from his body. Joseph raised his eyebrows. He knew that these were definitely the items that the magic shop had lost. Allen's actions were like a slap in the face. Both sides glared at each other.
However, Joseph didn't get angry. He turned around and patted Royce's shoulder. Royce took a deep breath and calmed down again.
Chen Rui secretly praised Royce's acting skills. Alice hesitated and couldn't make up her mind. She secretly looked at Chen Rui, wanting to consult his opinion. Chen Rui couldn't give an opinion in front of so many people. He just looked at a plaque in the middle of the second floor. On it was the word engraved according to Chen Rui's intention: integrity.
Alice was very clever. She followed his gaze and immediately understood. She still frowned and said nothing. Obviously, she was struggling fiercely in her heart. Finally, she said, "I don't want these things."
Eren's face changed, then he heard Alice continued, "The purpose of our Princess Retail Store is integrity. This purpose is for all customers. Eren came earlier than Joseph today, so the burr puzzle is sold to Eren at the original price of fifty thousand black crystal coins. However, Eren, your subordinate hurt my customer, so he must compensate for his treatment costs. Do you have any opinion on this? "
"Absolutely no opinion!" Eren was overjoyed. He quickly asked someone to give the injured a handful of black crystal coins, "Thank you so much! The Princess Retail Store is really the best store in the city. It is much better than some guys' stores! "
Alice nodded and asked Kaguli and Kia to count Eren's fifty thousand black crystal coins. Then, she undid the magic protection and handed the beautifully packaged burr puzzle to Eren.
Eren carefully opened the box and looked at the hardcover version of the burr puzzle as if he got a treasure. He quickly put it into the space ring. Seeing Eren's appearance, Alice remembered the few "grand master works" that were piled up randomly in her room. She secretly laughed. Speaking of which, she lost at least one hundred and fifty thousand black crystal coins this time. It was painful just thinking about it.
Joseph ignored Eren's provocative eyes and just looked at the word "integrity". Although the momentary communication between Alice and Chen Rui was obscure, it couldn't be hidden from him. After taking a deep look at Chen Rui, Joseph bowed slightly to Alice and left the Princess Retail Store with Royce and Vasasha.
When Eren saw Joseph leave, he was naturally arrogant. He thanked Alice happily and left. After the two left, Chen Rui came over and whispered a few words to Alice. Alice immediately stepped forward to comfort the injured person. This was a member of a small family. In fact, he was only slightly injured, so he didn't need so much money. Seeing the little princess personally inquired, he looked flattered.
Alice smiled and said, "Everyone, I'm very sorry about today. However, I believe everyone has seen that the Princess Retail Store pays particular attention to the word "integrity". No matter who comes to us in the future, they will feel the meaning of this word. Please rest assured when you shop. "
"Little Princess Royal Highness is really amazing!" Alice's words and smile infected everyone. A nobleman said excitedly, "I want to tell everyone about this. The reputation of the Princess Retail Store will be known throughout the Dark Moon!"
After these customers finished shopping and left, the "integrity" little princess who was smiling just now suddenly changed her expression. She leaped into the air and actually rode on Chen Rui's back. She hugged his neck, "150,000 black crystal coins! 150,000! Sob sob … Why, Chen Rui! You must tell me! Otherwise, this princess will fight with you today! "
Chen Rui was almost suffocated by the hug. It seemed that under the stimulation of money, the little loli with the "miser halo" had almost caught up to Mikas's level. When Athena and Kia saw it, they quickly took action. After much persuasion, they finally pulled the little miser off Chen Rui's back.
Chen Rui took a few deep breaths. Seeing the little loli's angry look, he shook his head, "Do you remember what I said when I asked you to engrave the plaque?"
Alice thought for a while and replied, "It seems to be 'integrity trumps all strategies'."
"If you want the Princess Retail Store to flourish for a long time and even open more chain stores, you must remember this sentence." Chen Rui saw that Alice still didn't understand, "Let me tell you a story. There used to be a Great Demon King named Yan Zhao Wang. He once spent 1 million black crystal coins to buy a precious incubus beast …"
When Chen Rui said the Demon Realm's adaptation of "Yan Zhao Wang spent a lot of money to buy a horse's bones", Kia and Athena still didn't fully understand it, but the smart Alice had already understood the meaning.
There was another meaning that Chen Rui didn't say in front of Kia and Kaguli. The magic store's stolen goods were hot stuff. Leaving it in Eren's hands was more conducive to the strategy of driving the tiger to swallow the wolf. Today, Eren deliberately took it out to show off. In fact, it had worsened the relationship between the two sides. However, why did Joseph compete with Eren for the grand master's work? Isn't reconciliation the most needed at the moment?
"I knew that Brother Chen Rui is powerful." After the little loli figured it out, her face changed quickly. She blinked her cute big eyes and instantly changed from a bitter hatred to an expression of worship, "Why don't we go to the blue lake for a picnic now?"
"No! I'm not in good health these two days, so I can't travel far. "Chen Rui shook his head like a rattle drum. Are you kidding me? Still going for a picnic? He must have prepared a sneak attack and some kind of … damned reference book!
"I see!" Alice showed a disappointed expression, "I'm bored in this store every day. It's so uncomfortable. Athena, let's go for a walk in the city with the three of us."
"Okay!" Athena agreed immediately.
When Chen Rui heard that it was just a walk outside, he couldn't refuse. Alice rolled her eyes, "You wait for us downstairs. Also, Kia and Kaguli go down too. I want to talk to Athena alone."
After the three went downstairs, Alice's eyes fell on Athena's plump chest. She subconsciously compared it with her own, and she obviously felt a huge pressure.
"Are we good friends?"
Athena didn't understand the little loli's thoughts. She nodded and said, "Of course, Alice is my best friend."
"What about Chen Rui?"
Athena's face was slightly hot, "He … is also a good friend!"
The blush that flashed across Athena's face didn't hide from the little loli who was mischievous. The little loli's body shook, and a domineering aura exuded, "Athena! There are some things that I won't give in even if we are good friends! "
"What things?" Athena showed a puzzled look.
"For example … that …" Alice's aura was deflated. She lowered her head, and her two index fingers gently pointed together. She said hesitantly, "There is one person … No! There is one thing that you also like to eat, and I also like to eat it … "
"This is simple," Athena said without hesitation, "Cut it open with a knife. We can just split it in half."
Alice seemed to be preoccupied. When she heard this sentence, her eyes flashed, "Cut it open?"
"Achoo!" Chen Rui who was downstairs sneezed inexplicably. Seeing Kia frowning, he smiled apologetically.
"What if I can't cut it open?" The little loli thought for a while and continued to beat around the bush, "Actually, I don't know if I really like to eat it. Anyway, this … 'thing' makes me feel a little strange. Maybe I want to eat it a little …"
"I don't understand what you're talking about." Athena thought for a while and replied, "However, if it's really a good thing that can't be cut open, we will each take a bite until it's finished. We are all good friends. Shouldn't we share good things? "
"Really? One bite per person? " The little loli's big eyes lit up as if she had solved a key problem. She jumped up happily, "Although I don't know yet … but, Athena! You are really my best friend! "
"You have always been?" The unclear Athena still didn't understand why Alice was hesitating and happy at the same time.
"Let's go!" Alice regained her strong vitality in a blink of an eye. She took Athena's hand and skipped downstairs.
