Chapter 434: Buy everything!!
T4 was being uncharacteristically silent when it came to answering questions about the mission. This must have been what he meant when he said that perhaps the system was challenging her. She relied on herself and the footage of the drones to decisively enter the building that the compass and her gut said was the one.
The footage from the drones showed nothing out of the ordinary, just shoppers, shop attendants and a lot of house hold items like fridges, televisions, water heaters and the like. Then you had phones, chargers, extensions and many other electronics.
Some shops sold cups, plates, forks, flasks and the like. These things were available in all types, shapes and sizes. Where would one hide a treasure map in all of this?
Every shop had at least one or more customers that were buying or inquiring about the price. On the third floor in the largest corner shop some teenage boys were break dancing to loud rap music as if their lives depended on it.
Chi Lian went inside, looking for the nail in the hay stack. To save time, she decided to scan the entire building.
"T4 scan."
"Scan initiated." T4 said.
She walked around on the first floor, from one end of the building to the other. Then she went to the second floor, third floor, fourth floor doing the same thing. Eventually she arrived at the sixth floor and she heard a ding.
"Treasure map located."
She wasted no moment in entering the shop but she was stopped at the entrance of the shop. She looked at the meaty hand that was on her shoulder and then at the large man stopping her from entering.
"Take that off." she told the man.
"This shop is closed." the man said.
She looked at the man’s face, it was round, puffy, red and sweaty. He was chewing gum and blowing bubbles extremely rudely. He behaved and looked like a thug.
She tilted her head and looked at the entrance of the shop for any sign that said, ’closed’ but there was none. Inside the shop behind the display of televisions she could hear a ruckus, as if someone was breaking things. This was accompanied by the sound of a scuffle and whimpering.
Chi Lian straightened her head and peeped into the shop, "There is nothing here that says this shop is closed." she told the man.
"If I say it’s closed then it’s closed." the man replied.
"Are you the owner of the shop?" she asked him.
The thug cursed and spat the gum in his mouth out. "Aish, this dumb bitch, why don’t you understand things. Are you stupid or do you just want my attention?"
Chi Lian said, "Gross."
The thug’s eyes bulged, his nostrils flared and he brought his fist forward to punch her.
Effortlessly, she caught his fist as if she was catching a fly that was annoyingly buzzing over her head.
"Tsk, tsk, why do you have to be so violent." she said in a childish voice.
When the thug tried to pull his hand back, she shook her head and said, "No, no, it’s not going to be that easy. You tried to punch me in the eye so I have to teach you a small lesson."
The thug’s eyes widened in fear and confusion as he tried to pull his hand back but it would not budge.
"What the fuck, let go of me you bitch." he yelled and brought his other hand forward to punch her.
Chi Lian let go of his hand and kicked him in the stomach so hard that he flew all the way from the entrance into one of the television screens. His body hit the screen, it cracked and the thug fell down while groaning.
Like a vengeful angel she followed the path that the thug had flown through until she reached the place where he landed.
He was on the ground, moaning and she kicked him once more, not to hard this time but enough to make it hurt. Out of the corner of her eyes she saw his partner or boss lunge at her with a pocket knife and similarly she similarly raised her leg and kicked him just as she had done the first one.
Then she got a phone out of her pocket and dialed the police.
"Sir," she approached the man in the corner, "Are you okay?" she approached the man that was huddled in the corner and asked. "I have already called the police, you are safe now."
The man looked at her with fear in his eyes and she wondered if he was more scared of her than the man that had been assaulting him.
"I am the good guy here, I came in to buy some things from you. I know that now is probably not the best time but I want to buy...T4 where is the map?"
"In that grandfather clock on his wall." T4 answered.
"That does not look like something he is selling, it looks like a personal item." she replied. And according to the time on the clock she had one hour and a half left.
"Mr. I want to buy everything in your shop, will that be okay with you? Here, take some medicine, it will help you heal up quickly." she practically shoved the pill down his threat.
It would numb his pain and slightly heal up his wounds without completely sealing them up to cause alarm.
The knife wielding thug tried to get up and she kicked him again. This prompted her to check on his companion and ensure that he too was still pitifully weak.
The shop attendant though still slightly confused looked at her eagerly when he heard that she wanted to buy everything in the shop. He got to his feet slowly as he wiped the blood from the side of his face.
"Some of the things are broken. I don’t think you can buy them all."
"Who are these men?" she asked him.
"Loan sharks, I owe them money and I would pay but business has not been good for me for the last three months. Even if these two are arrested others will still come. Whatever little you buy from me will help."
"How much do you owe?" she asked him.
He raised his hands and showed her a number two, "Two hundred thousand."
She looked at his bruised face and almost said ’Just two hundred thousand.’ but she recalled that last year, her own family could not put together two hundred thousand.
She was lucky that she made some money but how many people in the empire lived like this? She may not be able to save them all but she could save this man right now. She made her mind up firmly.
"I am taking everything here, including the grandfather clock. All of it is about what, seven million? I will take it." she said decisively.
