"So do we have a deal or not, because If we don't I think the other shop across the street will gladly buy It"
As I said this the man's defenses finally crumbled.
"It's a deal, It's a deal it's just that considering that you don't have a receipt..."
The manager quickly said as he started rubbing his hands.
"Spill It"
"2 million and 900 thousand dollars"
The manager said quickly.
So you want 100 thousand dollars huh?
I thought as I narrowed my eyes which truthfully was giving the manager the creeps.
"Deal but I want the money In cash, can you cough up that much right here and now?"
I asked only to see the manager start nodding his head like a chicken pecking seeds.
"I do, I do sir"
The manager said as he quickly opened up his safe and started taking out the greens.
"2.9 million sir you can count It if you want"
The manager said as he wiped off the sweat from his forehead.
"No need"
I answered as I threw the stash of banknotes from the table Into the duffle bag with one sweep of my hand.
"Sir let me escort you and madam out"
The all smiles manager said as he started leading the way.
The sales lady almost had a heart attack after seeing us get escorted personally to the door by her boss.
"Mr. Von Death, this is my business card, If you have any more gold that you'd like to sell In the future please contact me personally."
The manager said as he gave me his card.
"Well that remains to be seen Mr. Gu, as long as you don't ask questions and don't let your greed overtake you then we can be long-term business partners"
I said while curling my lips in a way only a psycho could causing the manager to break out In cold sweat.
"I... I'm not sure what you mean by this Mr von Death"
The manager said as he nervously fixed his tie.
"Cut the bullshit you little s*it, you were thinking of how to find out the source of my gold"
I said my usual emotionless tone changing to a dangerous one.
The manager was at a loss for words because he really did have the thought of Investigating.
"Mr. Gu I advise you to think It through because you really don't want me as your enemy"
I said and after that left with Hope leaving the scarred to death manager who was only 1.70 meters tall and of average build to his devices.
Who barely managed to walk back to his room with his shaking legs after all anyone would get intimidated by a scarred albino giant who gave off the aura of a battle-hardened vet.
"Weren't you too harsh on the man?"
Hope couldn't help but ask after we left the shop.
"Phew! If it was my timeline I would have beat the little s*it to a pulp, for just thinking about It"
I said as I spewed out a gulp of saliva and lit up a cigarette.
"But how are you so sure, maybe you made a mistake?"
Hope asked as she pulled out a cigarette before I could stuff the pack into my pocket.
"Micromovements and 80 years of experience"
I answered while exhaling smoke.
"So what now boss lady?"
I asked causing Hope to look at me strangely.
"Boss lady?"
Hope asked.
"It's your world you're the boss here"
I said as a matter of fact as I did Hope's lips covered In black lipstick curved Into an evil smile.
"Well then, let's go shopping"
As soon as the words escaped from Hope's lips I felt dread overcome me, I fear nothing I am fear Itself but going shopping with a woman, now that absolutely terrified me.
F*ck!
"Whatever you say, boss"
I answered with a dejected voice which didn't go unnoticed by Hope while cursing In my mind.
While smoking Hope pulled out her smartphone and called out a taxi, It didn't take long before the car parked next to us.
As It did we got In, and once again my frame proved to be a nuisance and my weight a problem.
"J*sus, what the hell do they feed you foreigners?"
The cab driver asked as he felt his car sink down.
"Steroids"
Hope answered for me while looking at me with playful eyes.
"You don't say, so where are we going?"
The driver said while studying my build.
"O*iental p*aza"
Hope answered.
"Got It"
The driver said as he stepped on the pedal.
After 15 minutes we arrived at our destination as we did, Hope dropped 100 dollar bill.
"Keep the change."
Hope said as we got out of the car causing the driver to grin from ear to ear.
We walked through the super mall packed with rich people until we arrived at L*uis V*tton the number one most expensive brand In the world shop.
As soon as I pushed the see-through glass spotless door open and entered the shop with Hope the sales associate Immediately greeted us.
"Welcome, Sir and mam."
The sales associate was an 18-year-old bombshell which wasn't surprising after all the luxurious clothing stores were the perfect place to find a sugar daddy.
Hope started looking through the ridiculously expensive clothes, whatever she liked she picked she didn't even look at the price tag.
Seeing this the sales associate's eye lit up as Hope's hands started piling up with clothes she immediately helped her.
While at the same time, she started shooting pick-me-up glances at me because In her mind I was the one with the money which I Ignored, because at least for now I was more than satisfied after venting my pent-up lust In my timeline.
Once Hope was done choosing she Immediately beelined straight to a changing room.
After about 45 minutes Hope finally stepped out, she was wearing basically the same clothes the only difference being the model and brand.
And I would be lying If I said that her new clothes didn't make her even more attractive than she already was.
After that Hope slapped a bunch of clothes on the counter.
"Cash"
Hope Immediately said In a domineering tone as she did I unzipped the duffle bag ready to take out the cash.
"The total will be 300 thousand dollars mam"
The cashier said as she did I pulled out the greens and started placing them on the counter.
The cashier quickly counted them and seeing that It was the exact amount she printed out the ticket.
"Thank you for you're patronage mam and sir please do visit us again"
The cashier said while Hope picked up the shopping bags full of clothes and passed them onto me.
"I'm the boss remember you said It yourself"
Hope said with a devilish grin causing me to groan In despair, not because It was heavy but because It was tedious.
"Yeah, yeah, so where next?"
I asked as I picked up the bags while Hope opened the glass doors.
"Hair saloon"
Hope said as she touched her hair whose die was already slowly coming off.
Although we didn't make a reservation, the designer welcomed us Into the VIP room on the spot.
After seeing Hopes luxurious clothes and my presence which he automatically categorized me as a bodyguard based on my look and choice of clothes.
Well, what could I say, since I joined the armed forces I have worn only 3 sets of clothes, one was my military fatigues, the second civilian paramilitary clothes, and the third a black suit for very very very special occasions.
I was a die-hard fanatical militarist through and through.
