The three of them discovered that they were the only three customers in this cheap clothing store. Could it be because people in the Ice Country don’t like to go out?
"Madam, your store business doesn't seem to be doing well." Cheng Yan asked while picking out clothes.
"People in Iceland love online shopping, and few go to physical stores," the fat woman said. "People are too lazy nowadays. Online shopping is not as convenient as physical stores. It's slow, and returns and exchanges are a hassle. In stores, you can try things on and exchange them until you're satisfied."
“But online stores have a wide variety of options,” Fowles said.
Wang Xiaohai and the other two picked out three sets of clothes and handed them to the fat woman.
"Madam, how much is it?" Wang Xiaohai motioned Cheng Yan to go over and pay the bill.
Cheng Yan pulled out a ten thousand yuan bill from his bag and walked over.
"Three pieces... a total of three hundred thousand." The fat woman quickly packed the three pieces of clothing and cut off the labels.
"How much?" Wang Xiaohai suspected that he had heard it wrong.
"Three hundred thousand." The fat woman repeated, the five rings on her fingers gleaming.
"Are you kidding me? Aren't these cheap clothes? Why are they so expensive?" said Wang Xiaohai.
"A cheap clothing store, yes. My last name is Bian and my given name is Yi." The plump lady boss raised her voice considerably. "But the clothes in my store are all famous brands. One hundred thousand a piece is still a discounted price!"
Wang Xiaohai and the other two finally understood why there were no customers coming to this store.
"What fool would buy one hundred thousand dollars?" Fowles said. "That would buy a nice car."
"There are watches that cost millions. What's wrong with a piece of clothing that costs one hundred thousand? You don't understand the taste of rich people!" the fat woman retorted.
"Anyone who buys luxury goods is an idiot," Fowles said.
"You mean rich people are all idiots?" Cheng Yan said. "They buy luxury goods to preserve their value."
"Ninety percent of luxury goods are consumables. They don't hold their value! People buy them just to show off!" Fowles argued. "If you spend millions on them, they'll become second-hand goods when you want to sell them. It's hard to find another idiot to take them. Even if you do, the price will be significantly reduced from the original price. Those who claim they'll definitely hold their value are just trying to sell them for a promotion."
"Are you done talking? Pay now!" the fat woman urged.
"I'm sorry, I don't want to be a sucker or a fool, so I won't buy these three pieces of clothing. I'll go shopping in other stores." Wang Xiaohai spread his hands and shrugged.
"The trademarks have been cut off. You have to buy it even if you don't want to!" The fat woman clapped her hands, and two two-meter-tall, muscular men walked out from behind the house.
"Hanfeng City cannot take action now, unless you want to die?" Cheng Yan said.
"Sorry, my store is a private area and the surveillance signal is blocked. Even if there is a fight, no one outside will notice it." The fat woman said, "Check out quickly!"
Wang Xiaohai thought, "How can this be possible?" It seems that Hanfeng City is not a 100% safe zone! Flies fighting on the street can be spotted, but flies fighting in the store cannot be spotted!
"Thanks for your reminder, we will pay attention to this," Fowles said.
Fortunately, this happened when I was buying something. If I had encountered another martial artist of a higher level, wouldn’t I have died silently?
These two thugs were only of the strength of formal warriors. The three men ignored them and walked straight out the door.
The thugs rushed towards the three people and prevented them from leaving the house.
Fowles dodged and grabbed the fat woman beside him, snapping her hands and breaking them: "If you move again, I'll break her neck."
The fat proprietress fainted from the pain.
The two thugs stopped and asked, "Are you a warrior too?"
"That's right, we are stronger than you, so you can't see it." Fowles threw the fat woman to the ground, and walked out of the store with Wang Xiaohai.
