Chapter 137: The Kingly Aura of Being Rich (2/2)

“Let’s go. Originally I planned on using commissar Yang’s specialized car. Although it is an ordinary Audi, the brand is quite eye-catching. But after some thought, I felt that it would bring the paparazzi. If they snapped some pictures and sent them to the magazines, that would reflect poorly on the Hong Kong station. Since there’s no other choice, we’ll have to go in taxi.”

Walking forward, Lin Yanan hooked her arm around Wang Chao as if it was natural and that they were passionate lovers.

After exiting, they took a taxi and headed straight for the shopping paradise in Hong Kong, Causeway Bay.

“Miss, if it doesn’t bother you, can you send these clothes to this location?”

“Wang Chao, does this bracelet look nice on me?” Lin Yanan asked as she swapped clothes after clothes and tried them on. Wang Chao watched her try them on with glee before paying for the purchase with his credit card and have them sent to the army.

In front of the jewelry counter, Lin Yanan took out a topaz crystal bracelet and put it on her hand. Giving it a little shake, she seemed incredibly happy as if Wang Chao was truly her boyfriend.

“It looks nice! Very nice.” Wang Chao spoke truthfully before swiping his card without another word. Even the cashiers at the jewelry stand had looked at the youngster and then to Lin Yanan as if trying to see if Wang Chao was some wealthy prince of a son who was trying to get with a female celebrity.

“Come on, let’s go check out the cosmetics.”

After buying several sets of clothes and several sets of jewelry that totaled up to several thousand hundred RMB, Wang Chao’s eyebrows hadn’t narrowed together even once. Even now, he still maintained the aura of like the boss of the Shanxi coal mines.

He had many gold cards as a result of his battle that one time with Zhang Wei on the tanker. Because of his win, he had won 50 million RMB for pocket money.

From birth, Wang Chao was a part of an impoverished family that belonged to the lowest rungs of society. So there had been an especially precious attachment to money. In the past, he had even considered killing Cao Yi for 100,000 RMB, that had been the extent to his relationship with poverty.

Although his martial arts was unbelievably deep, his cultivation of the health had been great as well. The attachment to money he had had significantly lowered.

But after Cao Yi had stuck his hands into the Tianxing Networking and transformed it into a huge corporation, Wang Chao felt that money was best under his own hands. So in earnest, he began to deposit into his own personal savings.

With 50 million RMB in his pocket, Wang Chao had naturally felt quite wealthy.

Amongst the crowd of people walking here and there across the shopping market, Wang Chao felt himself as quite gallant and spirited as if watching everyone from a mountain. Even the people at the side had felt the aura he gave off with some surprise.

This wasn’t even the aura born from martial arts, but purely from the aspect of wealth.

When one was strong in martial arts, he had a natural aura of power.

When one had influence, then they had a natural power with the government.

When one had money, then no matter who the person, he could use money to kill them. That man would naturally feel like a hegemon without an equal or enemy.

After Lin Yanan bought the topaz crystal bracelet and a diamond necklace, she shot a quick glance to Wang Chao with a rather uneven heart.

“He has money, he has superb martial arts, and he is my partner. If he was really my boyfriend, that’d be great.” While Lin Yanan was ordinarily quite serious, capable and experienced, she was still a woman in the end. After a day of retail therapy, her heart was at peace–infatuated even.

“Although my mother had always hated those second generation princes, starry-eyed girls, and rich women in contempt, today has been quite eye-opening. It’s not bad at all. Whatever I want, I buy. Whatever I like, I take. If everyday was like this, that would be heaven. Even if offered to become an Immortal, I wouldn’t take it.”

Lin Yanan’s imagination had ran away from her mind. After opening fire and injuring Dong Ling, according to history, there would only be a huge amount of trouble waiting her. Today’s intense shopping experience had been to purely vent off her frustrations. After all these purchases, she felt at peace. And secretly, she had quite enjoyed this fall from grace.

“No. I can’t. If I continue like this, wouldn’t this mean I was corrupted by the sugarcoating of Capitalism?” Lin Yanan suddenly realized that her heart was swaying to that of an infatuated but rich woman with some shock.

Wang Chao didn’t know what Lin Yanan was thinking about and had only led her to the expensive cosmetic brand store.

He was no stranger to cosmetics. That was because in S province, he was familiar with Zhang Tong, the Sales chairman of the French Chanel brand.

“Chose what you will from this brand. The pricier the better, I still have money!” Wang Chao joked.

In an instant, the aura of an upstart boss of Shanxi had disappeared from him. Instead, he was more like a self made lord.

“This feeling of wealth is quite nice, this is the very first time I’ve experienced it. It is better than the inspiration felt in martial arts, and quite useful too.” Wang Chao had felt this entire experience to be quite fun, as if he was a child once more.

“What kind of upstart is he? How is he so crude?” From the VIP lounge of the store, several rather beautiful women from the upper class society came over when they had suddenly heard what Wang Chao had said.

Their eyebrows narrowed together before a look of disdain overcame them and had one of them walk on over.

One of the other more noble looking woman suddenly felt her eyes brighten up before asking questioningly, “Wang Chao?”

“Ai! Someone I know?” Wang Chao suddenly looked over, “Zhang Tong?”
