Arriving at the city gate, Iyas was stopped by the guard and asked to line up behind the team entering the city. Seeing that the Chaoyang Chamber of Commerce's carriage was getting farther and farther away, Iyas had no choice but to open her hood.
After being rescued, Iyas learned a lot from Yang Yu.
Beauty is also a weapon.
From the perspective of human aesthetics, she seems to be very popular.
In order to pass through the checkpoint as quickly as possible, she pretended to be pitiful, saying that she had important matters to attend to in the city and asked the guard to make some concessions.
When the guards saw such a beautiful woman begging them, and they had just received a reward from the Chaoyang Chamber of Commerce, their faces blushed and they let Iyas join the line.
After passing the checkpoint in an instant, Iyas quickly looked around on the street. Seeing that the Chaoyang Chamber of Commerce's carriage had not disappeared from his sight, he breathed a sigh of relief, pulled his hood back on, and trotted after the carriage.
At this time, in the carriage, a handsome young man was talking about recent events with another thin old woman in a blue-black skirt and with a cane.
The old woman asked, "Hei Yao, I heard that the order for [Red Blood Rose] was cancelled. Do you know what happened?"
The man called Black Obsidian answered, "Pomegranate Granny, I heard that they have found what they want from somewhere else."
Her wrinkled face could not hide Granny Pomegranate's disappointment, "That's a pity, that was a rare opportunity to do a favor for [Red Blood Rose].
Liuli must be very upset because she couldn't help Gordon. You can comfort her when you have time."
"That guy doesn't need my comfort. He took my job away because of that man. He doesn't need my comfort."
With a look of disdain in his eyes, Hei Yao crossed his legs.
"I've long been fed up with that woman, ordering me around."
"She is your sister-in-law after all, how can you say that about her
At least, speak softly to me.
You are such a loser. If you could be like your brother and get married to a powerful noble daughter sooner, you wouldn't have to run around like this, hosting auctions.
Isn't it nice to be in the office and be flattered? "
"Grandma Pomegranate, I run around like this purely because I like working in the auction business.
In particular, slave auctions.
Although the buyers below were wearing masks like me, I could still see the greedy eyes beneath their masks.
To tease these greedy creatures, unleash the desires in their hearts, and cause them to fight each other uglyly is, for me, an incomparable and supreme sight.
The slaves were confused, desperate, anxious, worried, and played around with, and the negative emotions they felt were also quite interesting. "
"snort!"
With an angry snort, Granny Pomegranate poked the carriage hard with her cane.
"You are saying something so incomprehensible again. This is how you are. That's why opportunities are always snatched away by others."
Facing Granny Pomegranate's scolding gaze, Hei Yao turned his eyes away, looked outside the carriage, and said indifferently:
“What can I do if someone who is one level higher than me takes away my opportunity
Opportunities are something you can't get if you don't get them. If they are going to come, they will definitely find ways to get close to you.
Let’s make it clear in advance that even if I become a bigger person, I will not give up my job as an auctioneer.”
"You brat." Granny Pomegranate was so angry that she was almost speechless. After a while, she barely recovered and said, "Forget it. There is an opportunity right in front of you. It depends on whether you cherish it or not.
I have some friendship with the older generation of [Red Blood Rose]. Gordon will come to visit soon, so I came back with you. You must cherish this opportunity and try to make friends with him. "
In response to Granny Pomegranate's earnest advice, Hei Yao replied perfunctorily, "Yes."
Granny Pomegranate sighed and drew a circle in the carriage, which turned into a mirror.
"Put this aside for now. I have another matter to deal with."
In the mirror, there appeared a bustling crowd, and one could clearly see a hooded man following their carriage.
"Someone is following us?"
Through Granny Pomegranate's magic mirror, Hei Yao suddenly felt that the person following their carriage looked familiar.
"Grandma Pomegranate, can you change the angle and take a look at her covered face? I have something I want to confirm."
"If there's a mirror or glass nearby, I can use my magic to reflect her face."
Hei Yao immediately asked the coachman to change direction and adjust the route to the road with glass windows.
Passing by a clothing store displaying clothes, the image of Iyas was immediately projected into Granny Pomegranate's magic mirror.
Iyas only felt a strong light sweep across her face and she closed her eyes subconsciously. The next second she immediately opened her eyes and looked around for the Chaoyang Chamber of Commerce's carriage.
Iyas breathed a sigh of relief as the carriage did not disappear from sight. Just as she was trying to keep up with the pace of the carriage, a voice rang out not far from her.
"Iyas."
The woman who was speaking had a mess of hair. She held a wooden staff in her right hand and a scroll-like object in her left hand. The eyes that appeared from the ends of her hair contained an indescribable emotion, disbelief and surprise, the two emotions mixed together, bringing out a hint of anger in her eyes.
The man next to her had an ordinary face that revealed a special kind of depth. He had no expression on his face, but his eyes seemed to see through everything.
I unexpectedly met these two at this time. It turns out that all those who say I am lucky are lying.
Looking at the carriage going farther and farther away, Iyas gritted her teeth and said, "You've got the wrong person," and then ran after the carriage.
This was an opportunity to locate her brother in one fell swoop, and Iyas didn't want to miss it. She also didn't want Yang Yu to find out that she had broken their promise.
The only solution Iyas could think of was to quickly capture the man, force him to tell her brother's whereabouts, and then return to the forest before the commotion got worse.
In a crisis, it is difficult for a person to fully consider the consequences.
Now Iyas only wants to get the information and leave here, and has never considered the consequences of her actions.
She was like a gambler who, after a loss, placed all her bets on the next game.
I only imagined how great I would be if I won, how my bicycle would turn into a motorcycle, how I could eat 500 different skewers of barbecue every day, and how I would be a young model in the hotel. But I never thought that after I lost, I would have to carry bricks at the construction site every day, and I would have to break a bag of instant noodles that cost 2.5 yuan into three meals.
Believing that you can do it and only believing what you believe will only lead to people being unable to see themselves clearly, unable to correctly evaluate themselves, and unable to realize that this is a losing game.
No matter how big the bet was, no matter how confident she was, no matter how much courage she had, there was no way Iyas could win this game that she was destined to lose.
A fearless gambler, what awaits her is only the abyss.
