Following Jennie Laura, Bidegla first visited the place where he would be working in the future, Laura Jewelry. The decoration of Laura Jewelry was luxurious, and there were many visitors. When Jennie Laura brought a stranger back with her, the staff inside showed obvious surprise. It was clear that they had not expected their usually cold boss to bring a man back voluntarily.
"Let me introduce you. This is the chief gem appraiser I brought back. You all should get to know each other, as you will be colleagues in the future," Jennie Laura said, relieving the tension of the staff.
They were just employees after all.
After exchanging pleasantries with the staff, Bidegla hadn't even remembered their names before Jennie Laura took him away. They were going to attend the stone gambling event in Zhuhai City.
"Driver, please take us to Hualian Jewelry Store," Jennie Laura said.
"Alright." The driver, a middle-aged man, started the car and headed towards the so-called Hualian Jewelry Store.
As he watched the scenery outside the window recede, Bidegla took a deep breath and closed his eyes to rest. He needed to carefully consider his future path. Until he gained the ability to see through things, he might always be just a small salesman. But now, he had undergone a huge turning point and had to re-plan his life.
"Bidegla, it seems like we're not heading towards Hualian Jewelry Store," Jennie Laura said anxiously in Bidegla's ear, gripping his arm tightly.
The story has been illicitly taken; should you find it on Amazon, report the infringement.
"Then where are we going?" Bidegla's expression was strange, and he looked out of the car window.
The city was changing every day, so Bidegla had almost forgotten the roads of Zhuhai City. However, seeing Jennie Laura so nervous, he reached out his right hand and grabbed her delicate, sweaty hand, saying, "Don't worry, I'm here. I won't let anything happen to you!"
Outside the window, the buildings had become sparse, and it seemed they had arrived in the outskirts of the city.
He could feel the sweat in Jennie Laura's palm as he held it, making her appear nervous.
"Driver, we are supposed to go to Hualian Jewelry Store. Why are you taking us somewhere else?" Bidegla said kindly as he patted the driver. However, as he spoke, a piercing sound of brakes suddenly came from the driver's seat.
"Shut up! Hand over your valuables, or I'll kill you!" The middle-aged driver suddenly turned around, his face twisted and a knife in his hand, emitting a cold light.
"Ah!" Seeing this, Jennie Laura screamed and flung herself into Bidegla's arms.
"Don't be afraid. I won't let him harm you in the slightest," placing his palm gently on Jennie Laura's back, Bidegla's gaze also became somewhat cold.
He never expected to experience a robbery while riding in a car, a situation he had only heard about. It was truly chilling to see such things happen in front of his eyes. This is why society is so chaotic, because of people like them.
Although he didn't learn much in college during his four years, he spent most of his time just getting by, but he had developed extraordinary fighting skills from hanging around off-campus for years.
He might not be able to take on ten people at once, but handling two or three people was a piece of cake.
Although he didn't want trouble, he was definitely not afraid of it.
The middle-aged man's face was twisted, and the knife was shimmering with a cold light as if it could strike at any moment. But Bidegla saw the man's trembling hands, clearly showing that this was his first time committing a crime.
