When she unveils identities novel (Shirley and Braden) novel Chapter 291

Chapter 291 Yes, I Don’t Have Money

Shirley felt strange about it, but she had not done her business yet, she could only ignore it.

Under Irving’s lead, she smoothly passed through the Sutor Wharf and arrived at the famous Crimson Pawnshop, which was located in the center of the downstream.

“This is the legendary Crimson Pawnshop. It looks so ordinary!”

Shirley stood outside the pawnshop and looked up at the signboard, directly commenting.

This pawnshop looked like a courtyard house. It looked too normal and did not match the style of the Sutor

Wharf at all, because it seemed too simple.

It was incredible that such an ordinary place hid so many treasures and terrified the outside world so much.

Irving turned around and smiled. “You are right. The Crimson Pawnshop is actually just an ordinary place.

People like you tend to deify it. No, it is stigmatized. It is not as terrifying as people say. All in all, it is just a

place for trading.”

“That’s true. But this place is a grey zone. No matter whether it is legal or illegal, everything can be a pawn as

long as it is valuable. Even human lives can be a pawn. This place is already notorious. Don’t you think so?”

What made the Crimson Pawnshop so terrifying was that this place was beyond the law. If the pledger

wanted to pawn his precious thing for someone else’s life in exchange, as long as his thing was chosen by

the Crimson Pawnshop, the Crimson Pawnshop would help him take the lives of others.

“Crimson Pawnshop sounds like hell in your mouth. Actually, according to Mr. Quintin, the Crimson

Pawnshop is not hell but a house of mercy.”

“What?”

“Think about it. When you are at the end of your rope, you can give us what you cherish most to exchange for something to solve your urgent need. Once you become stronger enough and pay a great cost, you can still redeem your beloved item. If you can’t redeem it back, then it is not your most beloved item yet. If you can’t force out all your potential, how can you blame the Crimson Pawnshop for being cruel? Do you think I’m. right?”

“This is…”

Shirley rubbed her chin, thinking that his words seemed to make sense.

Because it was also why she chose to make this deal with the Crimson Pawnshop.

Because Shirley was confident that she could redeem it back in the future!

“Mr. Rowland, you are back.”

A beautiful shop assistant in a dress standing at the door greeted Irving respectfully.

“Sure.”

Irving nodded and led Shirley into the Crimson Pawnshop.

Only after entering did Shirley see this place’s layout.

This house covered a large area and looked antique. Actually, it looked more like a museum. There were

countless treasures displayed in a row of small rooms.

But Shirley was not in the mood to admire the treasures. She followed behind Irving and asked, “Are you

bringing me to see Mr. Quintin now?”

“Oh, no. I’m just giving you a tour of the Crimson Pawnshop. I’m going to show you the scale of the pawnshop

and how rich we are.”

Irving said seriously and looked quite proud.

He collected many of these treasures after visiting all around the world. They were more like his medals, and

he always wanted to show them to every visitor.

Shirley was speechless for a moment. She gritted her teeth and said, “We can have a tour another day.

Please take me to see Mr. Quintin first. It’s urgent.”

“It doesn’t work like this. Mr. Quintin is very busy. He has a lot of business affairs to deal with and I never

know his whereabouts. I don’t know when he will come back and when he will leave…”

Irving spread his hands helplessly. Seeing the fierce look on Shirley’s face, he said, “But you can try your luck and wait for him in the inside room. He has been coming back quite often recently. Maybe you can see him
