Chapter 286 - 286: The Hot-Tempered Woman in
Translator: 549690339
Following the bustling crowd into the city and stepping onto the neatly repaired cobblestone streets, Leo Ray noticed that the market here was extraordinarily lively.
On both sides of the wide streets, as far as the eye could see, there were various types of stores. Each storefront was surrounded by a dense crowd, with endless sounds of hawking and bargaining.
There were not only noisy children buying candy, elderly people carrying vegetable baskets, potbellied merchants, and mercenaries joking around, but also dignified ladies protected by warriors, noble youths and girls dressed in luxurious clothes, and mysterious mages wearing cloaks.
In short, the scene was one of prosperity everywhere.
“Taylor, how are the results of your investigation?”
As usual, while looking at the surrounding shops with interest, Leo Ray asked Taylor.
“My Lord, the number of powerful characters here is slightly greater than that in Golin City,” said the rough, deep voice of Taylor, who had his detection senses turned on, as he narrowed his eyes in reverence.
He continued, “I can currently sense about sixty Tier 3 Powerhouses, many of whom are also keeping a low profile with their strength completely hidden. As for the auras of Tier 4 Powerhouses, I’ve found three for now.”
Taylor, a tall and burly man, hesitated for a moment before continuing, “My Lord, the auras of these powerful characters are mainly concentrated in the south and east of the city. From this, we can deduce that these two directions are where the auction is held and the air harbor of this city.”
“My Lord, Senior Taylor has analyzed it correctly.”
On the other side, Linda approached Leo Ray and added in a low voice, “Compared to Cyan Town, which is just a corner of the world, Viennas City is one of the important inland cities of Coldflame, with better infrastructure. The eastern part of the city has an air harbor that can almost rival the ones in the big cities of Coldflame. It can be used for refueling and takeoff of Flying Airships.”
“As for the southern part of the city, it is the core business district, and also the location of this auction, the Viennas City Sanders’ Trading Conference.”
“I see, an air harbor, huh? The speed of Flying Airships is undoubtedly much faster than that of carriages, which can further promote the city’s economic development. When the time is right, I’ll build one in Cyan Town as well,” Leo Ray said thoughtfully, pausing for a moment in front of a shop selling tea sets.
“By the way, My Lord, only those with invitations are allowed to attend the auction in Viennas City, and I happen to know one of the internal managers of the Sanders’ Trading Conference here. Therefore, please wait for a moment, My Lord, I will try to get an invitation and confirm the auction’s details as well.”
“Go ahead, contact me with Mind Talk if there’s anything. We’ll just wander around here.”
Leo Ray nodded slightly and gestured with his hand.
As Linda left to get the invitation, Leo Ray decided to pass the time by giving each remaining subordinate a large pouch of Gold Dragons, and they began a shopping spree.
They bought whatever they wanted, whether it was branded bags or branded clothes, and all kinds of luxury items were purchased.
It should be noted that in this world, ten thousand Gold Dragons can buy a multi-story luxurious sea view villa, let alone the more than two million Gold Dragons that Leo Ray had on his person.
Of course, during this process, Leo Ray also bought some souvenirs for Serena and Stella, Joshua Bingaman, Orion Wolfe, Belinda Wright, and Gideon Black, who were not present.
And since he was too lazy to pick, most of the time, he simply threw money at the entire counter or the whole shop, leaving the onlookers dumbfounded.Even those haughty and arrogant noble ladies and young men and women, who looked down on others, had astonished looks on their faces and couldn’t help but praise.
However, because of this auction, it had attracted some top-tier nobles with high status.
Thus, everyone automatically categorized Leo Ray as one of them, and many cast their respectful gazes upon him.
As for this scene, Leo Ray himself didn’t really care.
The Illusion Cloaks everyone was wearing could change their appearance at any time, while the large amount of purchased items was directly thrown into the storage bracelet, so naturally there wouldn’t be any issues.
A moment later, just as Leo Ray and his group were preparing to pay and leave in a luxuriously decorated large clothing store.
There was suddenly a disturbance at the entrance of the shop.
Immediately, a red-clothed woman in her early twenties appeared – furious and leading a group of people into the shop.
This slender red-clothed woman had quite a delicate appearance.
The slightly tight red outfit perfectly outlined her curvaceous figure, and her whole body exuded a youthful energy.
However, her fair face clearly revealed a violent temperament, and she shoved the surrounding customers aside while walking straight to the shop owner without any regard.
“Lord Mongoose has dared to stand me up; it seems like you don’t want to continue doing business in Viennas City!”
With a crisp and irritable voice, the red-clothed woman directly grabbed the collar of the other party, easily lifting the two hundred-pound fat middle-aged man into the air.
At the same time, dozens of other customers in the store began to discuss amongst themselves.
“It turns out she’s Miss Kelsey from the Sanders Family. It looks like this store is in trouble.”
“Kelsey? Is that the infamous willful girl from Viennas City? Hmph, if it weren’t for the protection of the Sanders Family, I would’ve taught her a lesson a long time ago!”
“Listen, Mr. Knight, at your age, don’t try to show off. Besides, Miss Kelsey has reached Tier 3 Powerhouse last year.
With your strength, I’m afraid you’re only a Tier 2 Senior Powerhouse; it’s not enough to even be her warm up.”
“Yeah, yeah, Miss Kelsey is famously irrational in Viennas City, even hurting herself when she gets mad. Whoever gets targeted by her will surely suffer a lot!”
Hearing this, Leo Ray couldn’t help but show a look of interest and continued observing.
No wonder, with her skinny frame of eighty or ninety pounds, she could easily lift a burly middle-aged man. Judging from her aura,
this irritable red-clothed woman had indeed reached the level of a Tier 3 Powerhouse.
“Her strength is probably around Tier 3 Two-Star level, and looking at the attire of her other followers, it seems like they’re indeed in the Sanders’
Trading Conference guard outfit. I wonder if this person belongs to the Sanders Family main branch or side branch?”
At this moment, such thoughts leisurely crossed Leo Ray’s mind. “What are you looking at? Everyone else, get out of my sight!”
On the other side, no matter how much the shop owner pleaded, the red-clothed woman called Miss Kelsey remained relentless and began to order her subordinates to forcefully drive the customers out of the store.
Just when everyone was shaking their heads helplessly, putting down their chosen items, and preparing to leave, a calm voice suddenly sounded: “Boss, let’s pay the bill..”
