Unrepairable Love Chapter 806
December in Lisbon was very cold, and the night breeze made it even more bone-chilling. The abandoned small town had a dilapidated entrance. Driving 1600 feet in, there was no sign of life. It wasnโt until Alexander drove into the parking lot, handed over his car keys, and was led down a small path by a man in black.
Alexander felt like he had entered a second city; it was brightly lit, and the noise of vendors was deafening. There were many people. Alexander squinted his eyes and couldnโt help but glance outside. The darkness and desolation outside formed a stark contrast with the bustling scene inside. Alexander pulled his black overcoat tighter and wore a mask. But he didnโt know that even if he covered half of his face, his unique aura and presence were still unmistakable.
On the surface, it looked like a small market, but in reality, everything was for sale inside, including some illegal items that couldnโt be sold outside.
โHow much can you sell it for? Give me a firm number!โ
โThree million dollars, fixed price! If youโre interested, buy it. If not, make way for the next customer!โ
The commotion caught Alexanderโs attention. Alexander saw a vendor holding a smart device. The device was small, but with a light scan, it could project a starry sky and aurora in the air. Even in the brightly lit market, the aurora was clearly visible and very realistic, not fake at all.
โThree million dollars is too expensive. Isnโt it just an aurora projector?โ
โWho said itโs just an aurora projector? It can be any projector you want.โ
Alexander looked over and said calmly, โKennedy?โ
โKennedy? Sir, you want to see Kennedy?โ The vendor laughed heartily. โWhat a coincidence, my smart device just happens to have Kennedy!โ
As he spoke, he switched the program, and soon, a bunch of 3D Kennedys floated in the air.
โSir, interested?โ The vendor saw that Alexander had an extraordinary demeanor and looked like someone who could afford the price.
โThis thing, three million dollars?โ Alexander glanced at him.
It was indeed impressive, but three million dollars was overpriced. Anyone from Alexanderโs companyโs tech team could develop something like this. Alexander thought this place would be impressive, but it turned out to be justโฆ so-so.
The vendorโs face turned cold instantly. โIf you donโt know the value then get lost.โ Probably feeling his dignity was hurt, the vendor gave Alexander a displeased look. Alexander just glanced at him briefly and continued to look around. Alexander didnโt know what to buy, just browsing to see if there was a suitable Christmas gift for Elizabeth.
Maybe he had too high expectations for this shabby market; after a round, he didnโt find anything he wanted. There were many people, but the items were miscellaneous and worthless. To give as a gift, they were not presentable. For personal play, they were just about right.
Just as Alexander was about to leave, he caught a glimpse of an inconspicuous small stall in the corner. The stall owner was warming himself by the fire. In the cold weather everyone was shivering, but he sat there silently, not feeling cold at all.
Alexander stopped. The man glanced at Alexander.
โWhat do you need?โ The stall owner spoke formally.
Alexander looked at his empty stall. โYou have nothing here, how do you sell goods?โ Alexander asked.
The man sneered, โYou tell me what you want.โ
Alexander looked at him and was silent for a while. โI want a gift that can win a womanโs heart.โ
The stall owner clicked his tongue, โAgain, for a woman.โ
โI really donโt understand why some people canโt win over a woman. Women are the easiest creatures to please in the world. Give them a little sweetness, and theyโll be devoted to you.โ
โBut some menโฆโ The stall owner waved his hand and laughed, his eyes full of disdain.
Alexander seemed to feel that he wasnโt talking about how women were, but speaking on behalf of women. The stall owner seemed to be saying that men who couldnโt even prepare a gift for a woman were truly incompetent.
