Prodigal System in the Flourishing City-Chapter 1164 - 1163: In Shock [13th Update]
On the way out, Rashed looked at the shopkeeper’s expression with great puzzlement!
What’s going on? What’s this?!
After selling nearly twenty tons of gold, why is there such a complicated expression?!
What’s so complicated about it?!
However, because Lu Xiaobu and the others were by his side, he was too embarrassed to ask.
So, he just followed along.
When they arrived at Gold Street...
In just an instant...
Rashed’s expression became complicated too!
Not only him, but everyone around, especially the locals of Dubai, all had increasingly complex looks!
It wasn’t for any other reason but because this famous, illustrious, gold-covered, eye-blinding Gold Street...
Was empty!
Yes, you read that right, it was empty!
The dazzling golden color had all disappeared, leaving only the colors of the buildings themselves.
This sudden rise and fall, this huge contrast, made those who were accustomed to seeing the flashing gold of Gold Street feel incredibly low.
Although the original colors of the buildings were also quite nice, now they just had a rundown feeling, unbearably so!
Especially, when their gaze landed on the perfectly square golden cube in the middle of the street, the stabbing pain was even stronger! 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚
Because they suddenly had an illusion!
It was as if a foreigner had bought their national treasure!
Even though they knew it was false, that once the gold was restocked the very next day, Gold Street would be back to normal, that feeling just wouldn’t go away!
What hurt them the most was when Lu Xiaobu walked up to the golden cube, slapped it, and laughed heartily, saying, "This is mine now!" It really felt like their hearts were dripping with blood!
Too ruthless! Too ruthless!
This affair indeed stirred both heaven and earth!
What will tomorrow’s newspapers say?
"Dubai’s Gold Street Emptied by Someone from the Heavenly Dynasty!"
"Is Dubai Still Wealthy?"
"Has Dubai Fallen to the Point of Selling Attractions for Survival?!"
"People from the Heavenly Dynasty are the Real Tycoons!"
Just thinking about these headlines is sorrowful!
A silent person from the Heavenly Dynasty came to the land of tycoons, Dubai, and conquered it with money, forcing Dubai to sell attractions?!
What a pitiful story!
Has the fame of wealth just vanished like that?!
They were too embarrassed to vent this emotion on Lu Xiaobu, who had legally and rightfully bought the gold, so they could only turn their eyes to their prince—Rashed!
Rashed was instantly surrounded by countless resentful gazes!
The hairs on his body stood on end!
So this is what people call public resentment?!
He finally understood what public resentment meant!
This was real, palpable public resentment!
He never thought it would come to this!
No way! I need to send this important guest away quickly; once he’s gone, the comparisons will stop, and things will be much better!
While the people of Dubai were filled with resentment, Lu Xiaobu was very happy!
Who has ever seen such a huge, angular block of gold?!
But now, it’s mine, hehe, what a thrill!
Let me try it!
Well, as expected, I can’t lift it!
Alright, that’s a given; he was never going to lift something weighing nearly twenty tons!
However, touching it with his own hands felt quite nice, and he finally understood why humans loved gold so much!
This gleaming golden feeling is really captivating!
At this moment, Rashed hurriedly ran over, "My friend, let me have someone send this to your resting place!"
"No rush, no rush, let me look at it a bit more." Lu Xiaobu waved his hand.
Rashed’s face turned green, ’You’re not in a hurry, but I am!’
’I’m a prince, if I cause public resentment, my father will crush me and turn me into gold!’
"You can look at it once it’s back home too!" Rashed said anxiously.
"Alright, but still, I want to change its shape a bit." Lu Xiaobu touched his chin, suddenly having a bold idea.
"Is it complicated?!" Rashed asked worriedly.
"Not complicated, very simple." Lu Xiaobu shook his head, gesturing in the middle: "Dig a pit from here, and then place the excavated piece on top of this back piece!"
"Great! That’s simple!" Rashed breathed a sigh of relief, "Someone, quickly help the guest make the modification, I’ll cover the cost! Be quick!"
Couldn’t stand it anymore, couldn’t stand it anymore!
Those looks were terrifying!
The shopkeepers knew Rashed was in a hurry too and quickly went to make the modification!
The speed was remarkably fast!
In about an hour, the modification was completed!
Rashed looked at the final modified shape, nodded, it turned out to be a simple chair!
This friend from the Heavenly Dynasty really knows how to have fun, a pure gold chair, he never thought of that!
However, at this moment, he couldn’t think much more, as with an hour of fermentation and others’ intentional promotions, more and more people were gathering!
Equally, the public resentment was growing stronger!
He felt like he was about to be eaten alive!
Needed to leave immediately!
"My friend, let’s go now!" Rashed urged anxiously.
"Alright, let’s go." Lu Xiaobu nodded.
"By the way, where are you staying?!" Rashed asked while directing people to load the goods.
There were many trucks for transporting gold earlier, now they’re quite useful!
He also informed the police department to come over for an escort.
With so much gold, it’s inevitable someone might try to make a fortune.
If anything happened while accompanied by him, the prince of Dubai, it would be truly disgraceful!
"I..." Lu Xiaobu thought for a moment, then finally said, "How about this! Temporarily store it at your place, I’m staying at a hotel now, it’s not very safe!"
"Uh..." Rashed hesitated.
He lived in the Imperial Palace; if it were to be taken there, his identity would no longer be hidden!
But then he thought, it’s already pretty much exposed now, there’s nothing to hide!
Moreover, he thought of something.
If he took it to the Imperial Palace, could public resentment be quelled to some extent?!
After all, many people don’t know that this thing belongs to Lu Xiaobu!
Now transporting it to the Imperial Palace is sure to make a significant impact!
Yes, great idea! I’m such a genius!
So, he made a swift decision!
"Alright, sure! Let’s send it to my place!" Rashed spoke loudly, very loudly.
This was to inform the people of Dubai that it wasn’t going anywhere else, it was going to the Imperial Palace.
As soon as he said this, many of the resentful looks visibly softened.
This allowed Rashed to breathe a sigh of relief!
But then!
Before he could exhale fully, his heart nearly stopped!
Because Lu Xiaobu wanted to sit on the chair!
A chair made entirely of gold, with a person from the Heavenly Dynasty sitting on it, heading to the Imperial Palace under police escort!
What on earth would his father, the current King, think?!
