Chapter 38

Casting a quick glance at the man, Stella turned to find Lukas and his team, suggesting they try on mink coats. "The store only has ten of them in stock, and the sizes might not necessarily fit, but I honestly can't find anything else to spend money on." Cody, trying on a coat, joked, "Feels like I'm being kept by a rich woman, doesn't it?"

Stella rolled her eyes. "Sorry, you're not my type."

Their banter was interrupted by the man approaching again, "Lady, if you really want it, we can negotiate."

The four of them were standing together, and he still dared to approach them again, so he was probably not a bad guy.

Stella explained the situation. Lukas and Cody were thrilled, even taking a bite to taste. "Feels just like what you'd buy in a store."

"You can rest assured. The quality is top-notch." The man seemed excited by having gained a big order. "I only brought 5 pounds with me, but I can arrange for more if you want."

The four of them stepped aside to discuss. Jasper had his reservations. "We can buy their food, but we should be careful in case we are scammed."

The safest way would be to conduct the trade in multiple batches.

After the agreement, Stella returned to negotiate with the man, "We'll take 250 pounds, but we want to get them separately. Fifty pounds a day, right here at the department store entrance."

The man hesitated, "I can't make that decision, but I can ask right away. Please wait." After saying that, he hurriedly left the store.

Stella set aside 500,000 dollars. She got everything she needed without spending it all, so she had to grab an extra mink coat to reach the amount. She brought plenty of vacuum bags. After paying, she packed all the clothes and blankets. Many people were starving, but here were the rich, spending 500,000 dollars in a blink of an eye. The sight almost made the cashier's eyes fall out of her head, as if she had met a spendthrift.

Just as they left the department store, the man, known as Monkey who had been waiting outside hurriedly approached. "Our boss agreed. We can trade." As he said this, he glanced at a masked man not far away, who was holding a hefty sack.

After an exchange of glances, they moved to a place out of everyone's sight. Jasper went over to check, confirming the quality before nodding at Stella. She handed over a prepared black trash bag to Monkey, which contained 100,000 dollars.
