Papa Paladin

Zuo Yi couldn\'t accurately estimate the size of the first floor of the Xixi underground trading market, but he could hardly see the end at first glance. He could only see a tall dome supported by thick columns, and a tall dome hanging above it. Xenon headlights brighten the whole space like daytime.

  Countless columns form a concrete forest, which also divides the underground space into regular areas, densely covered with shops, with various signboards, and an endless stream of pedestrians and customers.

   The sounds of yelling, bargaining, talking, and other sounds are intertwined, impacting the eardrums all the time.

   People can\'t help but feel excited.

  But those security guards, who are sturdy, wearing black riot suits and patrolling with riot equipment, silently remind everyone that this is not a place where you can make trouble casually!

"dad."

  Boa\'s eyes widened in surprise: "It\'s so big here!"

  Zuo Yi smiled and said: "Yes."

  The little girl asked curiously: "Then where shall we set up a stall?"

"Ok…"

  Zuo Yi said: "Dad doesn\'t know now, so go ask someone."

  He took Bao\'er forward.

  You don’t need to show your identity card or membership card to enter the trading market, but there is a security check channel at the entrance, and you have to go through the security check channel to get inside.

  Zuo Yi led Baoer, and Baoer led Tike, and they passed the security check together smoothly.

  Zuo Yi was also worried that pets were not allowed in the market, but the security inspectors ignored the existence of Tektronix at all.

  However, the wooden box in his hand was asked to be opened for inspection. Fortunately, after explaining his purpose and showing the bronze card, the security inspector waved his hand to let it go without any difficulty.

  The security inspector probably saw that Zuo Yi was here for the first time, and kindly told him the location of the market management office.

  If you want to rent a temporary booth, you need to go to the market management office with your card.

  In addition, if there is a transaction dispute, it will also be resolved at the management office.

  Although he intended to stroll around in this big market, Zuo Yi led Bao\'er to the management office after exiting the security check passage.

  He plans to rent a temporary booth first, and seeing the lively scene inside, there may not be any vacancies.

"Hi!"

   As a result, within a few steps, the middle-aged man whom I met in the elevator hall appeared again, and stopped Zuo Yi\'s way with a smile on his face: "Meet you again."

  He greeted him very familiarly, and said with concern: "Are you planning to go to the management office to rent a booth? I have acquaintances there, and I promise to help you rent a suitable booth. Speaking of which, at this time..."

"unnecessary."

  Zuo Yi interrupted the other party coldly: "Go away."

   Many cities in Sadya World also have various types of trading markets, including large and small underground black markets.

  In all black markets, besides traders, there is another kind of person that is very common.

  They are well-informed and well-connected, greedy and cunning, they like to set up tricks to fool newcomers who have just arrived, and often even some extraordinary people who don\'t understand the situation are played around by them, so they suffer a lot.

   This kind of person is called: Jackal.

  Zuo Yi knows "Jackals" very well and has dealt with them a lot. When the middle-aged man took the initiative to strike up a conversation just now, he smelled a familiar smell, and it was impossible for him to listen to the other party\'s flickering.

   Out of boredom, Zuo Yi drove him away with a mental suggestion, but he didn\'t expect that this guy would persist in pestering him again after he got down, which immediately made him a little annoyed.

"Uh…"

  The middle-aged man didn\'t expect Zuo Yi\'s attitude to be so cold. He wanted to say something, but Zuo Yi\'s sharp gaze swept him away, and his whole body suddenly fell into an ice cave, from his forehead to the soles of his feet!

  This feeling seems to be shrouded in a horrible nightmare. He is clearly conscious, but he can\'t move his whole body. Endless fear surges up from his heart, and he sweats profusely and feels unconscious.

  Frozen on the spot!

   When he regained control over his body, Zuo Yi had already left with Bao\'er.

  Damn it!

  The middle-aged man shivered uncontrollably. He didn\'t dare to stay in the underground market any longer, so he ran away in despair.

  Zuo Yi took Bao\'er to the management office.

   And when he stepped into the hall of the market management office, Guan Zhishang had just walked out of the gate of Jin Yufu Jewelry Store.

  The two beautiful hostesses at the door bowed together and said: "Manager, please go slowly."

  Guan Zhishang nodded expressionlessly.

  Usually at this time, he would feel aloof, but this afternoon he was restless, and now he is in a very bad mood.

  Leaving the jewelry store, Guan Zhishang walked towards the nearby parking lot, where his car was parked.

  While walking, he took out his mobile phone.

  The first call was to my wife who was at home, informing the other party that I had to work overtime at night, so I would not go home.

   Didn\'t listen to Huanglian Po\'s nagging and complaining, Guan Zhishang hung up directly, and then dialed the second number.

   This number belongs to his lover.

   This time, Guan Zhishang\'s expression and voice were much gentler, and he told his lover that he was coming to her now.

  Guan Zhishang\'s lover was having dinner with his best friend when he received the call. He originally planned to go shopping later, so he had to be coquettish.

  Guan Zhishang calmed down after coaxing her a few words and promising to buy her a bag.

  His mood also eased a lot.

   Picking up the car from the parking lot, Guan Zhishang quickly came to his other home in Hangzhou.

  When I got home, my lover hadn\'t come back yet.

  He was not in a hurry, went to the wine cabinet to get whiskey and wine glasses, and sat on the sofa to drink for himself.

  Drinking wine, Guan Zhishang carefully recalled the things he encountered recently, guessing the reason for his sudden panic.

  The figure of Zuo Yi suddenly popped up in his mind!

   Is there something wrong with the clown?

  Guan Zhishang was startled, and subconsciously picked up the phone.

   But he quickly put down the phone.

  Guan Zhishang has worked with the clown many times, and he is quite familiar with the latter\'s temperament, knowing that his call will only make the other party unhappy.

   And the clown has done so much work, and has never failed, and I believe this time is no exception.

   Judging from the information he has, Zuo Yi, who doesn\'t know how to praise, is a loner and has no identity background. He has been missing for a few years in the past, and the clown should be able to easily handle it.

   Toasts do not eat fine wine!

  Guan Zhishang took a big gulp of whiskey, as if there were flames burning in his eyes.

  Thinking of that gold coin, Guan Zhishang\'s heart beats warmly. Unexpectedly, a small gold coin is worth hundreds of thousands!

  According to his judgment, there must be a lot of that kind of gold coins in Zuo Yi\'s hand. Originally, he planned to discuss with Zuo Yi to buy them all, as his promotion capital in the group to curry favor with Yuan Shao.

   Never thought that Zuo Yi would ask for 500,000 yuan, which instantly annoyed him.

  He Guan Zhishang is not made of mud!

  Sitting on the sofa with a wine glass in hand, watching the decoration in the living room, Guan Zhishang\'s heart kept burning.

  With Guan Zhishang\'s current salary, he wouldn\'t be able to buy this new house for 20 to 30 years without eating or drinking, and he didn\'t dare to do anything with the company\'s accounts—the Yuan family is not vegetarian.

  But he still found a way and made a lot of money in the past few years. Not only did he secretly raise an outhouse, but he also bought a second house and lived a different life.

  Guan Zhishang intends to sell his house and immigrate abroad with his lover after he has earned enough in a few years. He doesn\'t have to continue to be a dog for Yuan Shao, and he can live freely every day.

  The more Guan Zhishang thinks about it, the more he gets angry, his face turns red before he knows it, and the veins on his forehead are bulging!

   Poof!

   Like a hot water bottle bursting suddenly, Guan Zhishang only felt his head heat up, and something exploded in his head!

   Clang!

  The wine glass in his hand fell to the ground suddenly, hitting the marble tiles and shattering his bones, and the wine splashed all over the place.

  The bright red blood flooded Guan Zhishang\'s sight, he was panting heavily, and he grasped weakly with his right hand a few times, trying to grab something, but he couldn\'t catch it at all.

  The next moment, the manager of Jin Yufu Jewelry collapsed and slammed his head on the coffee table in front of him.

  Boom!
