Chapter 267 Tickets

In the morning, on a busy street somewhere in East Dvian, Nephnis stood there in a bit of shock. She looked at the mysterious Mosans in front of her and asked.

"Adele Buzzuzin? The famous female dancer, right? I've heard of her and I'm somewhat interested in her. Is there anything wrong with asking me this?" Nephnis responded, and at the same time took a look at the giant posters of beautiful women hanging on the street. With such advertising intensity, it would be hard not to be interested.

"Ah, I'm interested. If you are interested, then go ahead." Listening to Nefernis' words, Mosans was glad that he said it, then he raised his head and looked into the distance for a few times, and then whispered to Nefernis.

"Since Big Sister is interested in Adele, are you interested in visiting the performance at the Zai Fei Teng Theater tomorrow? It is said that Adele will have several performances, and some are new programs that have never been performed before. They are definitely worth seeing." Mosans continued to speak in a low voice, and he still couldn't help looking around while speaking. Listening to Mosans' words, Nefnis frowned slightly, and she opened her mouth to ask more questions.

"Adele's performance? Tickets for this kind of performance should have been sold out long ago." Nephnis said. Today was the day before the performance. Based on what she had read in the newspaper about the influence of stars of Adele's level, it was almost impossible to buy tickets now. In fact, if she hadn't been busy reviewing for a make-up exam that day, she probably would have come down to buy a ticket.

"Yes, normally you can't buy a ticket seven days in advance, but let me tell you, big sister, I still have a few tickets left. At this time, the highest ticket price is four or five pounds, and I only need two pounds. What do you think?" As he spoke, Mosans took out a few dimes from his pocket. Seeing Mosans's move, Nephnis finally realized what the other party was doing.

"As a Beyonder, you actually sell scalped tickets?" Nephnis said in surprise. If she remembered correctly, the other party seemed to be an apprentice-level Beyonder. Could this Beyonder also fall to the point of selling scalped tickets?

"Hey, you don't know this. The profit from Adele's performance tickets is huge, much higher than the profit I make from occasionally snatching some tickets from other people. I don't want to get involved in other forces, so why not do a business that can make money? Making money is not bad. As a Beyonder, I have a lot of advantages when snatching tickets."

Mosans said with a smile. Listening to Mosans' words, Nephnis had a new understanding of Tivian's low-level extraordinary people. Just when she wanted to say something else, her eyes swept to the far end of the road. In the crowd in the distance, there were several policemen and people wearing uniforms that looked like theater waiters. After looking back, she found similar figures behind the road. They all looked like they were constantly looking around, as if they were looking for something.

Seeing this, Nefernis seemed to understand something. Seeing that Nefernis did not react, Mosans spoke anxiously.

"Big sister, do you want this ticket? I'm in a hurry now."

"Ah... let me think about it. I can have this ticket, but I think you can make it cheaper." Nephnis said to Mosans with a smile, and Mosans responded with some embarrassment.

"Cheaper... um... let me think about it. Although it's already very cheap now, since you spared me last time, I'll give you a 50% discount. I'll charge you one pound each. I have two left, so I'll sell them all to you. How about that?"

Mosans continued to speak, while Naifunes shook her finger and said no.

"Fifty cents a ticket. If you're interested, I'll take both of your tickets for one pound. If you don't want to, forget it." Nephnis said. After hearing her words, the embarrassment on Mosans's face became even more obvious. The ticket price of fifty cents a ticket was very close to the price he paid when he bought it. If he sold it like this, he could only make a little profit.

"Um... Big sister, your price really makes me..." Mosans wanted to continue saying something, but when he glanced at the police and several theater waiters in the distance and saw them approaching as if they were approaching this side, he quickly responded.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, fifty cents is fifty cents... Big sister, let's hurry up."

As he spoke, Mosans covered his face and took out two colorful tickets. After Nephnis took them, she took out a one-pound note from her bag and handed it to the other party. After the other party took it, she quickly put it in her pocket.

"Thank you for taking care of my business today, see you next time~"

After collecting the money, Mosans immediately ran away. Not long after he ran away, the theater waiters and policemen who were looking for something in the crowd behind him suddenly seemed to catch his figure.

"Here! That kid, there!"

"Hurry and chase after him!"

After seeing Mosanz, several theater waiters immediately rushed over shouting, surrounded him and subdued him. Later, the police caught up even slower. Before the police arrived, the waiters had already begun to interrogate him seriously.

"Mosans? It's you who's reselling our tickets again, right?!"

"You guys are innocent. I didn't sell you any tickets this time! If you don't believe me, search me. I definitely don't have a single ticket... Ouch!" Before Mosans could finish his words, he was grabbed by several people in the theater and pinned to the ground, unable to move. One of them cursed as he spoke.

"This kid used to like to be sneaky when he was fighting. Don't believe anything he says. Search him!"

"Oh, brothers, be gentle! Ah! It hurts!"

The theater waiter and Mosans got entangled with each other, and the scene was a little chaotic for a while, causing the audience around to stop and watch. This scene was also seen by Nephnis who was not far away, and then she nodded and wanted to go.

"I was really being pursued, so I was busy giving away the tickets I had. I took this opportunity to buy two tickets at a low price."

Nephnis was thinking so. She noticed that someone seemed to be looking for Mosans, and Mosans looked a little shifty, so she deliberately lowered the price so low.

"It's true that after I pass the make-up exam, I can go to the show. I'm so lucky. I thought I had no chance to go." Touching the ticket in her bag, Nephnis thought with great joy.

"Then... let's find someone to go to the show with after we get back. I wonder if Emma has time?"

Muttering, Nephnis walked back to school with a cheerful pace. When she had not gone far, she suddenly felt something strange on her body. She then touched her right shoulder, where there was a mark drawn by herself on the back of her clothes.

"Is this... Miss Dorothea's mark? Is she giving me a hint?"

Thinking of this, Nefernis walked quickly into an alley, took out a book from her bag, opened it, and quickly turned to a page with many words written on it. At this time, there were new words printed on this page of the book.

"Are you free at noon?"
