The city's central business district was dazzling and captivating at night. Some of the towering skyscrapers were designed to rotate, creating a stunning sight. This was a place for the rich to spend their money. Everything was pricey, and ordinary people could only come to look.
"John, we've been searching for three nights, but we've found nothing." Mona Lynn sat down and said, "Let's take a break and search again."
"I don't need a break." John said calmly: "Mona, you're not that weak, are you? I think your vitality should be 0.8."
"Hmph!" Mona Lynn rolled her eyes: "I'm saying, we're just wasting our time searching like this. Five thousand stars sound great, but we won't get it unless the police catch the crook. I don't think we have much chance."
"Let's go to that store over there." John pointed to a large boutique upstairs and said, "It's full of expensive luxury items, and many rich women will shop there. If the crook wants to strike, he might choose there."
"Wow, it's Colong leather goods, a world-famous brand." Mona Lynn jumped up as if she had regained her energy, "Let's go and see what new leather goods they have inside."
She dragged John upstairs and walked into the huge boutique.
The boutique had a sci-fi style. The blue walls were dotted with stars, as if they were in space. People felt like they were in a crystal palace.
The items here were all very expensive, at least hundreds of stars, and some thousands. They were out of reach for the working class.
For regular wage earners, their monthly income ranged from tens to hundreds of stars.
Many female students also came here, but they could only look and not buy.
"Wow, I love all the leather goods here, but I can't afford any of them." Mona Lynn looked around, wandering around, eyeing some luxury items: "See, if any guy buys me that, I'll be his girlfriend for sure."
"That bag costs 50,00 stars, and my whole family can't buy it." John knew that Mona also came from an ordinary family, otherwise, she wouldn't take this job.
"Excuse me, has the star-lizard bag I ordered arrived?" A voice reached John's ear. It was a girl wearing sunglasses, followed by two men in black suits who looked like bodyguards. They had very strong vitality.
The girl was clearly from a rich family. The bags made of star-lizard skin had to be custom-made. They were very lavish and costly. Each bag was worth more than 10,000 stars.
Only the super-rich could afford them, not the ordinary rich.
"Here you go, Miss." A few pretty waitresses brought out a beautiful handbag. It was glittering and splendid, classy and graceful, with a remarkable aura. It had jewels on it. It was a masterpiece, and many people around were admiring and jealous.
The jewels were not actually attached, but gem-like particles that were part of the star-lizard's skin.
"Oh my…" Mona Lynn was totally stunned when she saw the bag. "Jack… This is the one I've always dreamed of. It's a dream classic. I'll say yes to anyone who proposes to me with this bag."
"Focus on the surroundings…" John reminded Mona, but he saw that even though Mona Lynn was fascinated, she was still alert sometimes, and she didn't neglect her work, so he knew that she was not foolish.
"Miss, this star-lizard leather bag is a dream classic. I want to order one too. Can I have a look?" A handsome young man approached the rich lady in sunglasses. He wore noble clothes, and on his shirt, there was a small "s" embroidered in a subtle place. It was the mark of a world-famous brand. People who often visited luxury stores would know that it was made of silk from "snow-silkworms" on other planets.
It was very rare and worth tens of thousands of stars.
The young man was 1.9 meters tall. He had a very handsome face and a carefree smile. He had a commanding presence in every move. The two bodyguards recognized him as a big shot, and they didn't interfere.
But John felt a sudden surge of fear.
This was the sixth sense of the soul that he had developed by practicing Fetal Breath for a long time.
