Villain: The Play of Destiny

Chapter 459

"Thank you, Master Demiliore."

The first thing Baobao did after they exited the store was to thank him.

She, of course, knew that Jin did not have enough money to buy her such a gift, and Wei Jia could also tell that Keith had helped her son out earlier.

"Hey!" Feifei sternly looked at her friend when she saw that she was returning the case. "It's yours now."

"But..."

"It is yours." Keith smiled at her. "Jin took a loan from me that he will be repaying over time." He smiled, and the young boy gulped at his words before he nodded his head to his girlfriend.

"Thank you, Master Demiliore. But wasn't that gift supposed to be for Feifei?" Wei Jia lightly asked, and Keith shook his head at her.

"No. It was for Eira."

Feifei immediately burst into giggles when she heard his words, and her husband smirked at her.

"Don't worry about it. I can easily acquire something similar." He seriously said, and seeing that he would not accept the pendant back, they all finally relented.

"Thank you."

"Like I said, Jin will be paying back the loan. Let's just hope that you like it, otherwise, his pains would be for nought."

Baobao smiled at his words and nodded her head.

"I like it." She told him and then brightly smiled at Jin.

The young boy was crying in his heart but kept a brave smile on his lips. And soon he just accepted his fate.

There was nothing he could do now, and he would just have to work very hard to pay back for it.

"That girl is truly poisonous." Wei Jia sighed as she watched Qin Feng and Wang Sisi from afar. "And she's an incredibly good actor."

"You did not believe me?" Feifei pouted at her words and Wei Jia apologetically smiled at her.

"Old habits die hard. I tend to judge people after getting to know them. Then again, what happened to her is tragic..."

"I am just messing with you!" Her niece giggled and then hugged her. "And yes, Sisi has not grown up at all. She's still the same as she was as a child. Petty and vengeful. Every time she meets me, she makes me dislike her even more..."

"Behave. Even if someone is a bad person, you should avoid talking ill about them..."

"Come on, you called her poisonous too just now!"

"My bad..."

"She's annoying, but I have to admit that her actions are always restrained and she never tries to outright humiliate you. It's why I have always tolerated her. As for what happened to her, yes, it is indeed tragic, but it is not our concern and it is not an excuse for her behaviour towards us."

Her aunt sighed at her words and nodded her head.

The five of them continued chatting as they walked down the street, and then they decided to take a break from their shopping at a cafe.

Wei Jia took the opportunity and dragged Baobao aside to have a talk with her in private. And they all knew it concerned Jin.

"How much is it worth?" The boy nervously asked when he was alone at the table with Keith and Feifei.

"That's a 33-carat stone, and the blue ones are extremely rare. It will be worth 50 Million Neris, at least."

As soon as Jin heard those words, his face turned pale, and Feifei unceremoniously started laughing at his plight.

"It will take me years to pay back for it!"

"Well, you must work hard then." Keith simply shrugged and laughed when the boy slumped in his chair. "You don't have to pay me back with money. It's of no use to me."

Jin perked up his ears at those words and then expectantly looked at him.

"You will soon be working for us, so, consider it as your advanced payment for your services."

"Is that about becoming your Envoy?" He curiously asked, and Keith nodded to him. "What's an Envoy?"

"We will talk about it after your parents have made up their minds. The people from Sword Sect will likely visit you and explain things to you."

"Oh..." Though much more curious now, Jin did not ask any more questions.

He turned and nervously looked towards his mother and girlfriend, and seeing that Baobao was smiling, he relaxed a lot.

Suddenly, something clicked in his mind and he looked at Keith.

"Master Demiliore, is Qin Feng related to the Qin Family?"

"Yes," It was Feifei who replied. "He is Rouxi's second cousin. And do you know what he does for a living?" She lightly smiled as she asked the question.

"What?" Jin curiously raised his brow. "He's rich since he paid for everything Wang Sisi bought. So, I am guessing he is a businessman?"

"Oh yes, he is certainly a businessman. He's in the business of Life and Death." She grinned at him. "Qin Feng is the leader of the World's most powerful Mercenary Organisation. He's one of the Overlords of the underworld."

"W-what?!"

"Yes," She nodded to him and was very amused as Jin's expression turned to horror.

"He's a killer?" The boy gulped in fear.

He was very glad that he had not acted on his impulses earlier and confronted Wang Sisi. Who knows what that man would have done to him for insulting his wife?

"Don't worry. He won't target you." Keith lightly said, but Jin was still visibly shaken after what Feifei had just told him.

"What happened?" Wei Jia curiously asked after she returned to the table with Baobao, and her son immediately shook his head before he started eating his parfait.

The older lady raised her brow at her Niece, and seeing Feifei grin at her, she understood that it was likely nothing serious and they were just messing around again.

"Let's go through everything we have bought so far." She opened the list on her phone and then started marking the things that they had gotten so far.

"We just need to order the suits now," Baobao said, and Wei Jia looked at the time and nodded her head.

"It's 7 p.m., and Old Wu should be at his shop right now. We have an hour before he closes it."

After her words, they quickly finished their snacks and drinks, and then the five of them headed towards the last shop on Blue Street, which was funnily named after its owner, Old Wu.

And as soon as they entered the shop, Jin tensed up.

"Wonderful!" An old man exclaimed as he inspected the shirt and sweater a young man was wearing. "This is undoubtedly the work of John. I can tell it right away... Vicuna, and horse hair stitches. And the shirt is made of handwoven mulberry silk, again, horse hair stitches. These buttons... platinum with encrusted diamonds.. they are from Italy, straight from Venice... Young man, what did you say your name was again? As far as I know, getting John to make clothes for you is near impossible."

"Qin Feng." The young man replied with a smile.

"Qin..." Old Wu's eyes widened at the name and he nodded his head in understanding. "I suppose you are very special even within the Family. After all, you are wearing tens of millions of renminbi worth of outfit so casually." He smiled.

Wang Sisi, who was grinning ear to ear after listening to Old Wu's words, looked at her husband in a new light. She instinctively glanced to the right when she heard some people entering the shop, and an envious and sorrowful glint passed her eyes before she looked at the old man again.

"Old Wu, can you really tell what material our clothes are made of just by looking at them?"

"Did I just not correctly tell what his clothes are made up of?" The old man displeasedly looked at her. "Was I incorrect about anything?" He asked the Child of Destiny, who shook his head.

"You were right about everything, Old Man. And by clothes are indeed made by John," He informed him.

"But maybe you figured it out because you are already aware of John's work?" Sisi smiled.

"You want to test the old man?" Old Wu grinned. "Bring it on! And remember, I will be charging you twice my fee for being disrespectful to me."

"We shall see!" Sisi scoffed and then pretended to look at her clothes, but then she suddenly looked at Keith and smiled. "Old Wu, I will believe you if you correctly tell us everything about Master Demiliore's outfit! If you fail, you will have to make my husband's suits for free."

"What is she up to now?" Baobao lightly whispered.

"She wants to show off and comfort her heart," Feifei frowned, sending a myriad of emotions from them, including hatred for Qin Feng...

Old Wu curiously looked towards Keith, and then his eyes widened as he recalled the name Demiliore.

He, of course, knew about one of the wealthiest families in the world which had been constantly in the news for the past few years, and he smiled before walking towards the new customer.

"Old Wu welcomes you to his shop, Young Man." He said, already inspecting Keith's outfit with his eyes. "I suppose you are here for my suits?"

"Yes." Wei Jia nodded to him.

"Oh, Mrs Song! My apologies for not recognising you immediately." He respectfully said, and the lady smiled at him.

"It's okay. I need suits for my son and Master Demiliore. Would it be possible for you to get them ready by Friday afternoon?" She asked and watched the old man grin.

"Possible, of course, it is possible. As long as you are willing to pay more."

"It's fine." She nodded to him, elating the old man even more.

"Old Wu, have you figured out what Master Keith is wearing?" Sisi walked over and asked. "Master Demiliore, please help us out here. The old man is charging ridiculous prices and keeps boasting about his skills..."

"I don't boast." Old Wu cut her off. "As for the suit Master Demiliore is wearing, it is made of Vicuna..."

"Wrong." Keith cut him off, and Old Wu surprisedly looked at him and then furrowed his thick grey brows.

"Please, excuse the old man." He said as he approached them, and after Keith nodded to him, he proceeded to inspect the jacket closely.

Minutes passed, and they all watched the old man start sweating before an excited grin appeared on his face.

His body trembled as he looked at Keith's face and then back at the jacket.

"I have never in my life seen such exquisite fabric, and this method of stitching is also something I have never seen before..." He started speaking as his fingers began tracing the jacket as if he were tracing some precious treasure. "Please, Master Demiliore... tell the old man what this material is." He begged, and a stunned silence descended in the shop.

"I am afraid I can't..."

"I will do your suits for free! For all my remaining lifetime!"

And his promise stunned them even more.

Now, they were all very curious about what material Keith's suit was made up of, and Feifei even touched his jacket out of curiosity.

"It's a secret, Old Man. I really can't tell you what material this is." He refused, and the old man seemed to be on the verge of crying now.

Half an hour later, when they exited the shop after Keith and Jin gave Old Wu their measurements, Baobao burst out laughing, and Feifei too giggled as they recalled the unsightly expression that Wang Sisi wore before she left with Qin Feng.

"Behave..." Wei Jia admonished them, but soon she too giggled a little.
