A bright light blooms in the distance.
In the beginning, it was just a dot, and gradually, it became a line. When this ray of light is fully bloomed, the bright light becomes dazzling. It seems to fill the whole world, and it seems to be destroying the whole world.
The universe is vast and boundless.
Behind the light, there is always darkness.
Looking at the endless light in his sight, he smiled.
"Goodbye, Hera."
A huge shadow loomed behind him, and he floated back, blending in.
Shadows flicker, fleetingly.
…
Sky Mars, Skyfire City, Skyfire Avenue.
This famous street does not allow any vehicles or robots, let alone mechs. Even the patrolling police have to use the oldest way of walking. Because this is a pedestrian street, a noble avenue hidden in high technology.
The 2,048-meter-long street is paved with blue and flat stones. The buildings on both sides of the street are completely different, but each has its own unique heritage and history.
There are Gothic buildings with towering peaks like ancient France in the Yuan Dynasty, ancient Chinese-style buildings with majestic carvings and jade, and even Roman-style buildings.
It is such a street that does not see any high-tech existence, but it is located in the most prosperous area in the center of Tianhuo City. It is said that here, every square meter of land can be worth a new top-level McKelly P12 high-altitude speeding car.
In the middle of Tianhuo Avenue, there is a small shop that is not very eye-catching. The reason why it is said to be small is that it is compared with the huge and noble buildings around it.
The shop is more than ten meters wide in front of the street. The overall design combines classical luxury and simple neoclassical style, with mirror-like dark blue walls and bright windows. Several dazzling pieces of jewelry are on display. In the middle of the top, four letters make up the name of the shop, which is shining with sapphire blue: Zeus.
The door is cast from an unknown dark blue metal, without too many decorations, only an almost vertical lightning-shaped print.
Zeus, Zeus, the ancient Greek god-king, controlled the power of thunder and lightning.
Therefore, this store is also called Zeus Jewelry Store.
The inside of the store is a royal blue world, with royal blue carpets, royal blue blue velvet covering the walls, and even the jewelry display counters, the lining is also royal blue.
Behind the counter of Zeus Jewelry Store stood two young girls wearing the same low-cut white dress. They were both beautiful, but they were different.
A tall figure, eyebrows like distant mountains, face like hibiscus, black silk shawl, far and near, like a beautiful painting, with a bit of classical charm.
The other is pretty and pretty, with short light blue hair and well-trimmed hair. The low bust is full of mountains and mountains, which is magnificent. A pair of big dark blue eyes change from time to time, giving him a strange appearance.
"Boss, I want to eat ice cream." The short-haired girl said sweetly, her voice was so sweet that you could get tired of it.
A lazy voice followed, "Will you eat mine, or should I eat yours?"
The voice came from behind the counter. It turned out that there was a third person in the store. He looked like he was in his twenties. He was sitting on a leather swivel chair with his hands behind his head, sitting comfortably. He had short black hair, Black shirt, black trousers, and a white vest with a pattern of a Greek temple in the Yuan Dynasty.
"It's all right!" The short-haired girl laughed.
"Don't make trouble." The long-haired girl said helplessly.
The young man sat up straight, his movements were stretched and elegant, although his hair was a bit messy and there were some stubble on his face, but he didn't look sloppy at all.
His eyes are bright, and although there is a hint of laziness at the corners of his mouth, every movement is so elegant and beautiful. It seems that he has developed such a habit after years of nurturing in the best aristocratic etiquette.
He took out a silver pocket watch from his pocket. The surface of the pocket watch was inlaid with many small but delicate gemstones, outlining a beautiful starry sky pattern.
"It's almost time. I'll tidy myself up and go have a drink. Xiuxiu, Ke'er, you should go back as well."
The long-haired girl Xiuxiu looked at him and smiled softly, "Boss, go and do your work, we are in the store."
The young man smiled warmly, "Xiu Xiu is the most obedient."
The short-haired girl Ke'er pouted immediately, and the young man had no choice but to add, "Yes, Ke'er is also good."
"Ding ding ding." There was a crisp sound like a silver bell, the door of the store was pushed open, and a woman walked in from the outside.
Seeing this woman, the youth's eyes became even brighter.
It was a beautiful woman with heavy makeup, it was difficult to accurately judge her age, she was about 1.7 meters tall, with a slender figure, and she was wearing the top luxury brand Van Cleef & Arpels private custom silver crystal high heels, which perfectly set off her beautiful appearance. A pair of slender and straight calves, a white knee-length venetian skirt, a white dress, and long hair coiled up on top of the head, very neat.
The color of her eyes is very special, they are green like emeralds, if you look closely, they seem to be breathtaking.
Walking into the store, she paused a little under her feet, and glanced at the window.
Xiu Xiu went up to meet him, smiled and said, "Hi, welcome to Zeus, what can I do for you?"
The woman didn't look at her, but set her gaze on the young man, "I want a star sapphire pendant with a royal blue color over 50 carats, do you know if there is one?"
The young man came out from behind the counter and said with a smile, "Of course. Xiuxiu, take this lady to the VIP room."
Xiuxiu made a gesture of invitation to the woman, and on the other side, Ke'er had already opened the door of the VIP room covered in dark blue leather.
The VIP room is not big, only a dozen square meters, with blue carpet and blue walls. At the same time, there is a row of six blue safes inlaid on the wall.
In addition, there is a table and three chairs in the VIP room, one on the inside and two on the outside.
This is where the real deal is, the top jewels that never show up in a window.
The youth asked the woman to sit down in one of the two chairs outside the table.
Xiuxiu poured a cup of warm water and brought it in, and handed it to the young man instead of sending it directly to the woman. The drinks served by the boss are naturally more delicious than the employees. This is the details, but often the details determine success or failure.
Xiuxiu quietly closed the door of the VIP room without making a sound. There is an unwritten rule in the store that as long as the boss is present, the guests in the VIP room will be personally received by him.
The young man walked up to the woman and handed over the water glass in his hand, "Drink water, please."
The woman took the water glass, but also looked up at him, "Zeus!"
The young man still had an elegant and lazy smile on his face, "You misidentified me, my name is Lan Jue, not Zeus. Or, are you calling me the name of this store?"
The woman looked at him with burning eyes as if she didn't hear, "Zeus, I want to ask you to do something for me."
The smile on Lan Jue's face disappeared, and he took back the water glass from the woman's hand.
The water glass turned on, and the clear water inside turned blue without warning, a blue composed of countless tiny lightning bolts.
Lan Jue looked at her indifferently, the woman's body trembled slightly, as if she had been immobilized, she remained motionless.
After gulping down the sparkling water in the cup, Lan Jue pushed open the door of the VIP room and walked out.
"She didn't come to buy things, please leave her, and I'll go have a drink."
