Wimston Province is known for its continuous mountain ranges, which are home to a great number of famous mountains and scenic spots. The provincial capital is no exception, with buildings of varying heights constructed around the mountains, presenting a unique charm. At this moment, Atius stood by a winding street, walking slowly up the sloped road. Nidawi was lying on Atius's back, chattering nonstop along the way. She talked about how her mother often cried at night. She talked about how her mother took her to work, fainting from exhaustion many times. She talked about the many uncles who spoke to her mother, whom her mother ignored. She talked about one night when a bad man tried to bully her mother, and her mother took out a small knife from her bag to scare the bad man away. Atius just listened quietly, and as he listened, his eyes reddened. He took out the 'Heart of the Galaxy' necklace, broken into two pieces, from his pocket and asked Nidawi with a smile, "Do you think this necklace is pretty?" Nidawi grabbed it, her eyes filled with delight. "Daddy, Mommy doesn't have a necklace yet, this one is so beautiful, she will definitely love it!" Atius nodded, "Once we get the necklace fixed, would you like to put it on Mommy yourself?" "Yes!" Nidawi bobbed her little head, already imagining herself putting the necklace on her mother. A moment later, Atius stood in front of a jewelry store. This jewelry store, known as Destiny, was the top jewelry brand of the Red Dragon Kingdom, famous throughout the world. Atius was here to find the top jewelry master of Destiny Jewelry Store, Domingo Colter. The jewelry store displayed tens of thousands of exquisitely unique pieces of jewelry, combining the traditional cultural heritage of the Red Dragon Kingdom with modern aesthetic styles. Even by Atius's standards, he had to admit they were 'beautiful'. Upon seeing these jewels, Nidawi couldn't take her eyes off them and asked timidly, "Daddy, can we buy all these things?" "I want to buy lots and lots of things for Mommy." "Then Mommy will be the most beautiful mommy in the whole world!" Atius rubbed Nidawi's nose with his finger, "As you command, my little princess." While they were talking, a young lady in a blue dress approached Atius with a smile, "Sir, may I help you with anything?" Atius nodded and got straight to the point, "I'm here to see your chief jewelry master, Domingo. Is he available? I have a necklace that I would like him to help me repair." "Oh, and tell Master Colter the necklace is called 'Heart of the Galaxy', he should know it." The young lady, obviously new to the job, was not aware of what 'Heart of the Galaxy' meant in the jewelry world, but she nodded professionally and said, "Master Colter is currently meeting with clients upstairs. I can notify him for you, please wait a moment." After speaking, the young lady pointed to the rest area nearby, "You can rest here for a while; there’s hot water on the table." Atius thanked her and sat down on the sofa with Nidawi. Nidawi, being at an age where she loved to play, took off her shoes and jumped around on the sofa, laughing happily. A few meters away at the counter, a woman in her late twenties was trying on rings. The woman had a head of burgundy wavy hair, an oval face, and her figure was displayed to advantage in a form-fitting thin dress. Hearing Nidawi's laughter, the woman turned her head to look, then hurried over, pushing Nidawi aside and began rummaging through her pink handbag that was on the sofa. Nidawi fell onto the sofa, scared, and hurriedly clung to Atius, her little face full of guilt. "Auntie, I'm sorry, I didn't step on your bag." "You little brat, who are you calling auntie!" The woman's eyes were filled with disgust, "My bag is brand new, just bought yesterday, the latest model from LLV, priced at 800,000. Can you afford it if you damage it?" After saying that, the woman glanced at Atius with disdain, "No wonder the child you raise has no manners, wearing such rags and daring to enter." The sales associate who had been serving the woman also frowned and said to Atius, "Sir, we have a policy here that those who are not properly dressed are not allowed inside." Atius held Nidawi in his arms and first checked to see if the woman's nails had scratched her. Then he turned to the sales associate, expressionless, "Explain to me, what does 'not properly dressed' mean?" The sales associate laughed, "Not properly dressed is just that, not properly dressed." Atius's eyes flashed coldly as he asked again, "I'm asking you to explain, what does 'not properly dressed' mean!" The sales associate was not intimidated by Atius's gaze, "Like you, sir, wearing cheap street stall clothes, that's being not properly dressed." "Our customers are all very distinguished, and your appearance lowers our standard and decreases the shopping experience of our customers." The woman who had pushed Nidawi also started to mock, "She's right. Seeing someone like you, I lose all desire to shop." With that, she raised her hand to point at the jade bracelet on her wrist, "Three million." Then she pointed to the watch on her other wrist, "A Patek Philippe watch, five million." "And my earrings, necklace, and rings together are worth over twenty million." The woman was full of pride, "Country bumpkin, the difference between people is just that great." "This is not the place for you, get out!" Before Atius could speak, a roar came through his earpiece, "Oh come on, Lord, this woman is asking for it! I'll send money right away and crush her with it!" "Crass! Wouldn't it be more satisfying to make her family go bankrupt?" "Lord, we've found out this woman's background. Her name is Naomi Hudson, and her husband is Ellison Zimmer, the president of the Wimston Province Jewelry Association. He's already sixty-five this year. Shall I make a call and have her husband kneel before you to apologize?" Atius snorted coldly, and the voices in the earpiece suddenly stopped. "If you have nothing else to do, then get back to headquarters right away and don't linger in the Red Dragon Kingdom." Seeing Atius angry, the earpiece immediately transmitted the sound of turning off the communicator, "beep beep". These Heaven Rank experts were not afraid of being scolded, but they were afraid of Atius telling them to get lost. What a joke, they were still hoping for a chance to hold the little Lord. In the store. The six security guards who had been standing by had now surrounded Atius. An older one sighed and spoke to Atius in a low voice, "Brother, just bear it for a moment of peace, it's not worth arguing with these rich folks." "Look at us, we're also forced to wear suits." Atius glanced at the security guards and slowly shook his head, "Because of what you just said, I advise you not to make a move." After speaking, Atius, holding Nidawi, walked up to Naomi, looking down at her with cold eyes, and said coldly, "People like you, no matter how well-dressed, are no different from a pile of shit in my eyes." "Apologize to my daughter, and I might spare your life." Naomi was immediately enraged. The country bumpkin in her eyes had actually cursed her as a pile of shit in front of hundreds of people in the store! Ever since she married Ellison, she had never been so humiliated. Perhaps arrogance had become a habit, and Naomi pointed at the security guards and yelled, "What are you waiting for, smash his mouth!" The security guards looked at each other but stood still. "Fine, you're all good for nothing, pitying each other, right?" Naomi snorted coldly, "I'm a VIP of Destiny Jewelry Store, and I've spent at least ten million in the past two years!" "Do you believe that one phone call from me could cost you your jobs!" The onlookers around, holding the mentality of watching the excitement, talked in small groups quietly. Nidawi hid in Atius's arms and suddenly whispered, "Daddy, the security uncles were scolded, they must be very upset, right?" Atius nodded and said to the security guards, "I understand your difficulties, don't worry, even if Destiny Jewelry Store fires you, I can arrange better jobs for you." For some reason, the security guards subconsciously chose to believe him. The older security captain suddenly tore off his suit and threw it on the ground, roaring, "I've had enough, I quit!" The others also took off their suits and threw them on the ground, stepping on them a few times, equally outraged. Their families were not wealthy, and working as security guards in the store, they earned only four or five thousand a month. They also had to endure the disdainful looks and being ordered around every day, and they could no longer bear it. Naomi, who had lost face, was so angry that she dared to raise her hand to Atius's face. She wanted to use a loud slap to tell everyone present what would happen if they angered her!
