Chapter 174 Dai Mubai's Downfall
Soto City, the central city of the Barak Kingdom, is also the location of Shrek Academy.
This is one of the most prosperous places on the Douluo Continent. It has a third-level martial arts main hall, attracting countless soul masters to come for practice and exchange.
However, in this dazzling city, there is a person who seems out of place.
He is Dai Mubai, a noble of the royal family of the Xingluo Empire, one of the Shrek Seven Devils, and the former Dai Boss.
At this time, Dai Mubai was walking aimlessly on the street, wearing a gorgeous dress that was washed to the point of fluffing.
Originally, the clothes were pearlescent and colorful, but now they have become matte and fluffy. Only the exquisite embroidery and fitting craftsmanship still prove that these clothes were originally valuable.
He brought this dress from the Xingluo Empire. At that time, he still felt how glorious he was. Who knew that now it has become one of the few clothes he can wear.
His face no longer has the elegance and confidence of the past, but is replaced by haggardness and paleness.
Dai Mubai's eyes also lost their sharpness and spirit, leaving only numbness and confusion, and his untidy beard made him look even more miserable.
At this time, Dai Mubai had been "out of food" for a long time.
Because of the financial attack of the Seven Treasures Glazed Sect, the black cards or gold soul coin recharge cards issued by the money houses of the Xingluo Empire have lost their effectiveness in the Tiandou Empire.
The source of funds that could have allowed Dai Mubai to live a life of drunkenness and dreaming was cut off.
However, at that time, Dai Mubai could still rely on his powerful martial arts to earn some extra money in the Douhun Arena, but there are unexpected events.
Qian Renxue's great conscription dragged all the living forces in the Douhun Arena to the battlefield, and another important source of funds was cut off.
Dai Mubai, a royal noble who never knew the word frugality, could only spend every penny in half to spend those three months.
Now, he has no money to maintain his own cultivation resources.
The reason why Dai Mubai is so depressed today is because of what he heard before.
Yesterday, flags were changed all over Soto City overnight. A force that was previously known only because of the biological bracelet - the Small Samsara Palace actually became the master of Soto City.
As more news came, Dai Mubai's young heart was shocked by the explosive news.
The Xingluo Empire was defeated, the royal family was gone, Dai Yucheng's martial soul was sealed and became an ordinary person. There was no Prince Dai Mubai in the world anymore, only the civilian Dai Mubai was left.
His self-esteem, which he had struggled to maintain with dignity, was shattered overnight.
Dai Mubai walked in the bustling crowd, feeling like a transparent person, no one noticed him.
He saw all kinds of gorgeous and expensive clothes and accessories on display in the store. He used to buy a bunch of them and give them to the girls he liked, but now he only had a few clothes left.
His heart was full of powerlessness and despair. He didn't know what else he could do. Could he still survive?
Dai Mubai followed his legs and slowly walked to the Rose Hotel, the place where he had spent a lot of money countless times.
Dai Mubai was brought here as luxurious as Xingluo City. Perhaps it was his subconscious longing for his hometown that made him come here again?
He looked up at the hotel sign, which read "Rose Hotel" in golden font, shining and reflecting his pale and haggard face.
He felt a pang of pain in his heart, remembering that he had laughed and talked with his "friends" here, and had a love affair with his "beloved" girl.
How glorious and confident he was at that time!
The guard saw Dai Mubai, who was in a state of despair, from a distance. Out of respect for the former distinguished guest Dai Shao, he still went up to him and wanted to open the door for him.
When he approached Dai Mubai, the guard found that the once glorious Dai Mubai had become a poor man. Years of professional guard experience told him that he could not afford the consumption in the hotel now.
The guard cleverly put Dai Mubai on a street corner far away from the hotel and got up to return to work.
Dai Mubai sat silently for a long time at the corner of the street, watching people coming and going. The blurred eyes did not affect Dai Mubai's judgment of the guard's intention. He had been judged to be "unsuitable" to enter the Rose Hotel.
Dai Mubai's self-esteem was stimulated and shattered. The heart-wrenching feeling supported him to stand up from the corner of the street and quietly leave this sad place.
Soto City is still as prosperous as he had seen before. There are soul masters pouring in from all over the place, looking for opportunities here.
Dai Mubai walked and walked and came to a familiar place, the market of Soto City.
This is a place he used to frequent, using squandering to fill his empty heart.
Now he doesn't need it.
Because he has no money and no reason for emptiness. Even the Dai family of the Xingluo royal family no longer exists. What is the reason for his inability to compete?
A sharp dispute in the pawnshop on the street attracted Dai Mubai's attention.
"You want three silver soul coins for this junk? I think eight copper coins is the maximum!"
"It's eaten by insects and bitten by rats, it's bare and has no fur, it's just a tattered cotton coat!"
"This is a mink coat, look how bright the fur is, and how soft the texture is!"
"You've come to pawn it, why do you care about this? Do you want to pawn it or not?"
"Pawn, pawn!"
No one sentence is talking about Dai Mubai, but it seems that every sentence is talking about him. Dai Mubai quickened his pace painfully, wanting to leave this place.
Dai Mubai's proud self-esteem was crushed by this bad day, and only a little bit of aristocratic cultivation was left to support it.
He tried to straighten his back and maintain his aristocratic demeanor. His vicissitudes and melancholy appearance at this time were also photogenic.
At this time, his pupils, which had been scattered for a long time, were activated by the figure in the distance. Yes, it was the twins, the "lover" who had been with him for a long time.
They used to be the most beautiful existence in his life. They used to be meticulous to him. They used to make him feel the sweetness of love.
But now? They betrayed him, abandoned him, and even hooked up with others.
The twins seemed to have noticed Dai Mubai here and cast their eyes over here, but after confirming the identity of the blond man in white, the twins turned their eyes away and showed their charm to the new sponsor as if they were blind.
Dai Mubai saw their lips that had been kissed countless times, whispering in others' ears, kissing others on the cheeks, and wandering on others. Dai Mubai felt a sharp pain in his heart, as if something was torn apart.
Dai Mubai could endure the sarcasm and abuse, but ignoring it? Ignoring himself, a strong man with the royal bloodline and evil-eyed white tiger martial spirit?
Dai Mubai was unwilling to be forgotten, abandoned, and replaced.
Now he wanted to make the sponsor pay the price.
Dai Mubai's anger gave him strength. He squeezed through the crowd and stretched out a big hand to the sponsor.
However, his hand was stopped by the sponsor's bodyguard. The sponsor looked Dai Mubai up and down, and his oily and thick lips sprayed harsh characters.
"Isn't this Mr. Dai? Why are you so lame after not seeing you for a few months?" The sponsor deliberately squeezed the twins' arms hard while speaking, making them exclaim and laugh.
The financier looked at the anger and humiliation flashing across Dai Mubai's face with satisfaction, and continued to taunt him.
"Aren't you very rich? Or are you bankrupt? Oh, how pitiful!"
"Look at you, in rags and with a haggard face, and you still want to rob my treasure? Do you think you are still the same glorious Dai Shao? Let me tell you, you have nothing left."
"Even the twins don't love you anymore, they only love me, because I can give them everything they want."
Dai Mubai didn't even realize that he had activated his martial soul, and his soul rings lit up one by one, and a huge tiger claw appeared, slapping at the disgusting greasy mouth.
Nine out of ten things in the world are not as you wish. Although the bodyguards don't have the strength to stop Dai Mubai, who is over level 30, the martial soul hall patrol inspector, as a level 40 master, is more than enough to control Dai Mubai.
Dai Mubai, who had long been found to be mentally abnormal, had been marked by the 01 system. The patrolman who appeared at this time subdued Dai Mubai the moment he lost control.
The patrolman said in a cold voice: "Dai Mubai, you are suspected of disturbing public order and attacking innocent people. You are now under arrest. Come with me."
Pressed to the ground, Dai Mubai's clothes were covered with mud and his self-esteem had completely disappeared.
Even the malicious ridicule of the sponsor had no effect on Dai Mubai, whose eyes were dead, like a breeze blowing.
Dai Mubai felt like a waste thrown into a garbage dump.
He looked at the lively and indifferent crowds around him, the gorgeous and fake lights, and the noisy and empty voices.
Dai Mubai felt a loneliness and despair he had never felt before, and he had no way to vent all the feelings in his heart.
He could only let the patrolman drag him towards an unknown fate.
