Chapter 98: Prom Invitation(1/2)
Mr. Anand stood up quickly and explained:
"Mr. Ah Hao, this time I took the initiative to perform the divination for you. I won't charge you for it. Don't worry."
Ahao felt relieved now. He almost wanted to run away just now.
"Farewell."
"The sands of destiny tell me we will meet again soon."
With Anand waving goodbye, Ahao walked back.
On the way, he stopped by the beauty potion store he had seen before.
He is not troubled by acne. He has never had acne since he was a child.
"Thirty points for a bottle of anti-acne potion~. If sir, you are buying it for a girl, would you like to take a look at the anti-freckle potion here? It only costs fifty points."
"It's too expensive, I won't buy it."
Ahao ruthlessly rejected the enthusiastic clerk and walked out of the pink potion store.
He was just interested in the price of the potion.
He has never been clear about the reasonable selling price of [Rose King].
It would be much better if there was a similar healing potion for reference.
Although Offa Avenue was very prosperous, he no longer had the intention to continue shopping. He might as well explore it next time.
He returned to the Offa Express Station that he had passed before.
When boarding the double-decker bus, the silent driver pointed to the machine under the window.
Ah Hao gently pressed his arcane ring on it.
A small star on the side of the ring floated away from the ring.
"Where to go?"
"Downtown, Fifth Avenue."
The driver nodded to him and Ahao walked into the car.
The bus is quite spacious, with two rows of seats facing the windows, one on the left and the other on the right.
Behind the driver's cab, there is a sloping staircase leading to the second floor above.
There were quite a few passengers on the bus. Ahao randomly found an empty seat on the first floor and sat down, observing the passengers.
From the appearance point of view, there is nothing special about most people.
Only two passengers had inhuman parts such as "horns" and "fish scales" growing on their heads.
Ah Hao couldn't help but look at them twice. The passengers in the car were not surprised by this.
Soon, the vehicle started. The vehicle drove faster and faster, rushing straight towards the wall behind the station.
The driver's calm voice came.
"open."
The Offa Express drove into the wall smoothly.
The originally bright scenery outside the car window suddenly turned dark.
Ah Hao could only feel the earth and rocks constantly sliding by outside.
This car is driving in the dirt as if it were on flat ground.
Austrian Express is worthy of the word "fast".
It quickly emerged from the wall and stopped in an alley. Ah Hao noticed that the sky outside was dim and black again.
After the passengers got off the bus, it got back into the wall.
The vehicle stopped several times. Passengers got off and others got off one after another.
"Fifth Avenue, here it is."
The driver's emotionless voice sounded, and Ah Hao quickly got out of the car through the back door.
After getting off the car, he found himself in the alley behind the kitchen of a breakfast restaurant.
He was sure that this breakfast shop was located on the commercial street where his perfume shop was located.
When he turned his head, the Offa Express had disappeared.
He got out of the alley and soon arrived in front of his store. He found that the lights in the store were still on.
Opening the door, he saw Wen De sitting alone in the shop eating barbecue.
In front of the long counter, a variety of grilled meats and roasted vegetables are piled on wrapping paper.
The aroma of cumin and sesame combined with the aroma of meat is quite tempting.
"Wende? Why are you here?"
"Hey, what a coincidence. Your clerk just left, and I just invited him to a barbecue. Come and eat together. I bought a lot."
Ah Hao was not polite, grabbed a skewer of barbecue and started eating.
The counter of this shop was originally a burger restaurant for single customers to eat, and he has not modified it.
The height and width of this counter make eating surprisingly comfortable.
"You haven't said anything yet. Why did you come to my place again today? Did you buy some sand?"
His mouth was full and he said to Wen De without any concern.
"I went to the previous store, bought all the goods in the store's warehouse, and put them there."
Following Wen De's words, Ahao saw two cardboard boxes stacked in front of the studio door.
"I didn't continue looking for other stores because I went back home first. After getting the news, I hurriedly came over to inform you."
"Well, what's the news?"
Wende put down the barbecue in his hand.
"Tomorrow the vanguard of the Mader family will come to Agadi. Then tomorrow night, there will be a welcoming dance at Noson Manor.
"Ah Hao, you may need to come to participate. It's best to bring a female companion."
"Female companion? Why? And I remember didn't your dad say he would be enlightened next Saturday?"
Ahao asked doubtfully.
Wen De smiled bitterly:
"This time it's called a welcome dance, but it's actually a blind date. If you don't want to "get to know" the Mardale family in depth, you'd better bring a dance partner."
Ahao nodded repeatedly. When he mentioned the word dance partner, several female faces flashed in his mind.
"With the help of my parents, I am finally no longer the leading actor at this dance, which is gratifying. However, things got a little messy this time. The representative of the Mardale family asked everyone in the family to speak first.
Came here. That’s why there is this dance.
"You must show up to support me, Ah Hao. I guess Vanessa will definitely cause trouble at the dance. The old men in the family are actually still doubtful about the fact that we have found the [Guide].
"
Ahao nodded.
"No problem, I will definitely appear. Just. I'm a little thirsty. Have you bought some beer?"
"I bought it, I bought it, and it's for you, Mr. Hao."
Wende found two bottles of beer from under the counter and found a small box.
"I guess you don't have any evening wear. I also specially prepared a set of clothes for you. And tomorrow is the masquerade, so you can just wear the mask. And don't forget to ask your female companion to find one too.
Put on a mask."
Wind opened the small box.
Inside the box is a set of exquisite men's satin suits. Its two rows of lapels are made of luxurious black velvet, which feels extremely soft to the touch.
"Damn, are you so considerate?"
"The size will definitely fit. Don't worry, I've measured it."
"When did you measure it?" Ahao looked at Wen De in disbelief.
"Just yesterday when I was in your studio. Well, let's not talk about it anymore. I have to leave quickly. The family is still busy with the dance, and preparations are being made everywhere.
"Then if you want to test [opening the door], tomorrow is also a good time. I have arranged the people. You just need to make your own preparations."
"Okay, thanks Mr. Wen De for the barbecue!"
Wen De made an OK gesture and left the store in a hurry.
Ahao finished the barbecue and tidied up casually.
Behind the counter, I found the store's bill.
