"Husband, look, he snatched someone's necklace, sniffle, sniffle..."
The charming woman spoke in a whiny, coquettish voice, even making a crying gesture as she spoke.
Ye Jia immediately felt his goosebumps, which had barely subsided, involuntarily rise again.
This kind of woman, truly unbearable!
"Kid, what do you mean?"
With the woman's whine, the burly man immediately stood up for her, taking two steps forward. His expression turned fierce, revealing his sturdy muscles. The pirate's domineering aura instantly flared up.
"Can't you understand? First come, first served."
Ye Jia said indifferently.
If it were an ordinary person, they might have been intimidated by the burly man.
But he was facing Ye Jia, a man who dared to kill a Celestial Dragon. Would he be afraid of a mere pirate?
"The thing my wife has her eyes on, do you dare talk to me about 'first come, first served'?"
The burly man walked directly up, standing in front of Ye Jia, looking down at him. "Kid, I'll give you one more chance to reorganize your words. Put down the necklace, and everything can still be discussed... Otherwise, if you provoke me, you won't get any good outcome!"
It had to be said, although the burly man was reckless, he indeed had an advantage over Ye Jia in terms of height.
Don't look at Ye Jia being already one meter eighty tall, but in the pirate world where power reigns and monsters are everywhere, any random pirate could instantly overpower him in terms of height.
But is strength judged by height?
Clearly not.
"I'll tell you one last time. This is the necklace my woman saw first and particularly likes. If you continue to pester endlessly, I don't mind making you kneel..."
Ye Jia showed no signs of backing down, replying coldly.
"Kid, it seems you really don't want to live!"
The burly man raised his fist, clenching it until it cracked. His ox-like eyes widened like gongs.
"Why are there always so many overconfident fellows these days? Those I killed before, now you're here. Seems I need to clean up this world a bit!"
Ye Jia said, raising his head, a chilling glint flashing in his eyes.
At the same time, his right hand suddenly shot out, five fingers forming a claw, swiftly grabbing the burly man's throat like lightning, directly lifting his heavy body, weighing over two hundred kilograms, into the air!
"Ugh..."
The burly man didn't even have the slightest reaction. Before he could react, his feet left the ground. A piercing pain came from his throat, gripped by an iron claw. A wave of suffocation surged, making his face turn crimson!
"Ah!"
The charming woman saw Ye Jia lift the burly man with one hand, and she immediately collapsed to the ground in fright, her face drained of color.
The other shop assistants and customers in the jewelry store were also greatly surprised.
This burly man weighs at least two hundred or three hundred kilograms. He actually lifted him with one hand?
"So, now what do you think? Who doesn't want to live anymore?"
Ye Jia asked playfully.
"Uh...uh...I...I...it's me!"
The burly man, gripped by the throat, struggled to hit Ye Jia's hand, trying to make Ye Jia let go.
But with his meager strength, trying to break free from Ye Jia's grasp was like a madman talking in his sleep.
"In this era, some people always have to suffer a bit before they learn to be a little more restrained. I was too lazy to bother with you, but you kept pestering... Tell me, to whom should the necklace in my hand belong?"
Ye Jia continued to ask, not intending to let the burly man go at all.
"You... be... be... belongs... to... you!"
The burly man's face turned red and his neck swelled. He was gasping for air, and speaking became incredibly difficult.
He knew that today he had hit a brick wall, and it was an exceptionally hard brick wall!
"Good that you know."
Ye Jia chuckled. "Tell me, will you still dare to be so arrogant in the future?"
"No... No... No!"
The burly man stammered "no" for a long time, unable to form complete words.
And judging by his condition, his eyes had already started to roll back, on the verge of suffocating.
"Today's situation is special. I'll give you a way out. Next time, if I catch you being so arrogant again, I promise you, your end will be ten times more tragic than now!"
After Ye Jia finished speaking, he casually tossed the burly man aside.
The burly man instantly felt as if he had escaped death, his face filled with lingering fear. He clutched his throat, letting out a violent cough.
"Scram."
Ye Jia coldly glanced at the burly man. The burly man hurriedly got up and, taking his wife, fled the jewelry store.
He was afraid that if he ran a step slower, he would be caught by Ye Jia and tortured again.
As soon as the burly man left, the store immediately became quiet.
"Qingluo, your necklace."
Ye Jia smiled and took out the necklace. He held it up to Silas Qingluo's neck, "It looks too beautiful on you. Indeed, beautiful people make anything they wear beautiful!"
Silas Qingluo's ears tingled, her delicate face flushed red, and her heart pounded wildly.
Especially Ye Jia's previous remark, "This is the necklace my woman likes," directly struck Silas Qingluo's soft heart, making her feel an urge to burrow into Ye Jia's arms.
"Ye Jia, can you help me put it on?"
...
Silas Qingluo asked softly.
"Of course, it's my honor!"
Ye Jia held the two ends of the necklace, gently wrapping it around Silas Qingluo's neck. Her delicate face was flushed red.
Silas Qingluo felt she had never been so happy and excited. Her small hands nervously twisted the corner of her clothes, and she bit her lips, looking exactly like a little girl.
"Alright!"
Ye Jia helped Silas Qingluo put on the necklace. After a careful look, he showed an admiring smile. "Beautiful! This necklace truly matches you!"
Silas Qingluo felt as sweet as if she had eaten honey.
"Let's go!"
After paying, Ye Jia left the jewelry store with a smiling, sweet-faced Silas Qingluo.
The two walked towards the street where Glorianna and Qiuli were.
To avoid the Marine patrol, they had no choice but to take a shortcut through an alley.
Suddenlyâ
Whoosh!
A sharp arrow, transforming into a shadow, shot fiercely towards Ye Jia.
"Hm?"
How fast was Ye Jia's reaction speed?
He immediately raised his head.
But he found that this arrow seemed to have no intention of harming him; it was merely a warning.
The arrow grazed the edge of Ye Jia's face, less than a centimeter from his face.
"You... are pirates, aren't you?"
