Jade Bracelet Dispute

When I left, there was only Huo Su as a customer in the shop, but now when I come back, there are several more people, including a glamorous woman and a few burly men. 🎅😾 Claw 🐉♧

The glamorous woman spoke very sarcastically, "You country bumpkin, you don't have a penny and you're still coming to a place like this? Put the bracelet down right now!"

"No, this is mine. My friend went to get the money." Huo Su hugged the bracelet tightly, looking stubborn.

"That's ridiculous. How could your friends be rich, looking like that?"

He doesn't have money, but he can ask his friends for it.

"Hahaha, you're really trying to make me laugh to death. Are your friend's friend also going to find friends to help you gather people? Once you have a hundred people, oh no, a thousand people, then you'll have twenty gold coins?"

"It's none of your business."

At this moment, a man with a mohawk shouted, "Hand it over right now, or I won't do anything to you; otherwise, don't blame me for being impolite!"

"Why are you wasting your breath talking to her? Just snatch it from her!" the glamorous woman said angrily.

"But she's a woman after all, and I'm afraid she'll break the bracelet. Boss, are you still going to do business with me or not?"

The man dared not confront the woman, so he could only pressure the boss, while several burly men around him joined in the commotion.

"Exactly, do you even want to continue doing business?"

"Believe it or not, we'll smash up your shop!"

"Girl, just give up. This isn't something you can afford. Besides, there are so many here. How about you pick something else and I'll give it to you as a gift?"

These burly men were mostly wearing mohawks, and the boss kept saying nice things to him and trying to persuade Huo Su to give up the bracelet.

Hearing their argument, I understood what had happened: the glamorous woman had her eye on the Red Jade Bracelet and wanted to buy it, but Huo Su refused to let go.

The woman called a group of people to help her, but seeing that Huo Su was a lone and vulnerable woman, they did not attack her directly, hoping to scare her into giving up.

Huo Su was unwilling to give up easily. The mohawk-haired man had no choice but to put pressure on the boss, but Huo Su ignored them completely, just holding the bracelet tightly and occasionally responding with a few words.

If this arguing continued, it would escalate into a physical fight sooner or later. I quickly squeezed through the crowd to Huo Su's side. "It's alright, I brought the money."

"Great, Yasuo! I don't know why they look down on me so much. I could beat them with one hand, but that would be bullying."

These burly men couldn't stand Huo Su's words and immediately flew into a rage. "Oh ho, feeling emboldened now that your man is here? Well, that's perfect, let's see if you want your man or the bracelet!"

After saying that, the man with the mohawk swung his thick arms and tried to grab me. I didn't struggle, mainly because I was afraid of damaging the things in the store, and besides, they were just ordinary people who couldn't hurt me.

"Don't resort to violence. I've already brought the money, and we pre-ordered the items. This is outrageous!"

"Strange, how come you can still talk!"

The mohawk-haired man was puzzled. He wondered why I could still talk even though he was choking me, and why I didn't seem to be in any pain.

How could he know that my body is very sturdy? Not to mention him, even someone who has seriously trained in martial arts would have a hard time hurting me without using some tricks.

"If you're tired, let go. My friend isn't lying to you; she genuinely doesn't want to hurt you."

"Something's wrong! We need to get out!"

The man with the mohawk dragged me into the street, ready to punch me. Now that he didn't have to worry about hurting innocent people, why would I get beaten up for no reason?

I easily dodged him, grabbed him by the neck and lifted him up, just like he had grabbed me earlier.

Several Great Han around me immediately attacked, but no matter how much they punched and kicked me, I remained completely still.

Even a fool would know I wasn't an ordinary person now, so the others stopped attacking and instead started pleading for my life.

The glamorous woman was already terrified, her face turning pale. She saw the mohawk-wearing man's eyes roll back and his tongue stick out, and she collapsed to the ground.

I didn't intend to kill them; I just wanted to teach them a lesson and show them what I was capable of. When I saw the mohawk-haired guy couldn't hold on any longer, I threw him to the ground.

"I already told you to let go, but you're still pushing your luck. Don't you think you're so great because you have money? What good is money to you now? If I use a little more force, your money will go to someone else."

The mohawk-wearing man, catching his breath, quickly apologized to me. "Sir is right, I was blind. I'll definitely behave myself from now on!"

"You don't have to be completely obedient, just don't bully anyone. Also, try to resolve things through dialogue rather than resorting to force."

"Yes, yes, yes, I understand!" The mohawk man nodded vigorously, and seeing me wave my hand, he quickly led his men away.

Huo Su laughed at this moment, "You're quite good at lecturing people, aren't you? You're a lot like my father. He always liked to reason with people, even though force could solve the problem."

"Normally I wouldn't bother with so much talk, but these are special times, the more united we are, the better."

Once this minor incident was resolved, the onlookers dispersed. Although Noxus has strict regulations against private fights, such incidents are still quite common.

Just as we were heading back to pay for the bracelet, we suddenly realized that my purse was gone!

I placed it directly on the counter and hadn't even counted it before this happened. How could it disappear so easily?

The boss kept complaining and insisted that he hadn't stolen it. He even asked me to search the place. Of course, I didn't believe he would have the guts to do so after seeing me take action. So, someone must have stolen it in the chaos!

All the gold coins look the same, how am I supposed to find them in this vast sea of people? Sigh, there's no other way but to go back and find Tam again.

When I returned, the shopkeeper told me that the bracelet had been sold, for exactly twenty gold coins, and he even gave me two extra as a tip!

Where is my friend? Why isn't she here?

They left together after they finished shopping...

According to the shop owner, a young woman came shortly after I left. She knew Huo Su and, without saying a word, bought the bracelet and gave it to Huo Su.

The two left after they finished buying their things. The shop owner pointed me in a direction, but I wasn't sure if they were still there.

I find it very strange that Huo Su has friends here.

Logically speaking, she shouldn't know many people besides those from People of Furnace Village, and even if she did meet People of Furnace Village, she wouldn't be able to afford the money.

What's most infuriating is that she didn't even wait for me; all that effort I put in for her was for nothing!

I followed the direction the shopkeeper pointed and soon found her in a clothing store. The friend next to her was none other than Sivir!
