“Princess, this way!”
The bodyguards were extremely anxious. They guarded Alice tightly, fearing that she might be separated from them by the crowd.
Bang!
Right at that moment, a gunshot came from a distant highrise.
“Oof!”
Alice’s body trembled as she grunted. Her entire body was sent flying by a strong impact and fell to the ground.
The suddenness of it was not expected. Not just the bodyguard, but even the escaping civilians were stunned.
“T-t-the princess was shot?!”
“Oh no, oh no, England will be going through a change in government!”
“That can’t be true. Is the princess okay?”
“Princess!”
The chaotic scene calmed down in an instant. The terrorist should have gotten news of it as the gunfire subsided. They were clearly retreating.
“Bring the princess away quickly!” The bodyguards were pale. They carried the princess into the car and rushed away, leaving the crowd staring at each other dumbfounded.
It was obvious that Alice was their target this time. Moreover, the attack was planned and everything went according to their plans. It was definitely one of England’s biggest news, possibly even the biggest piece of international news.
The entirety of England was enveloped in sadness and hatred.
However, just when everyone thought Alice would pass away, the royal family announced that Alice was unhurt.
“Didn’t die? How is that possible? The leaked videos showed that she was shot!”
“Is that for real? Is England doing that to calm the public?”
“Could it be that she was saved? It’s very difficult for one to survive that kind of bullet, right?”
…
Technically speaking, that incident had nothing to do with Ye Lingchen. However, it turned out that he was involved after all.
That was because…Ye Lingchen was the reason that Alice survived the assassination!
To be exact, it was because of that luxury bag!
Just as their entire nation was in doubt, Alice finally made an announcement online.
“When I was shot, I thought I was about to die as well. At that moment, my entire body felt the impact of that bullet. I truly felt hopeless. In my entire life, that was my darkest hour. However, I turned out fine. Apart from a slight concussion, I’m totally unharmed!”
“Why am I unharmed? You might not believe me if I told you, but it’s because of a bag!”
Her senseless statement caused the entire country to be confused.
‘Because of a bag? Could that bag be a demon? What kind of amazing bag is that?’
‘I might be uneducated, but forgive my bluntness in saying that your low-level deception will not work on me.’
Following that, Alice’s next post caused a huge wave on the internet!
It was not a text post, but a video instead!
Alice appeared on the screen with rosy cheeks. She seemed well-rested, not like an injured person at all. Moreover, she was holding a black colored bag in her hand.
It was obvious that the bag’s appearance changed a lot, especially near the center of it. There was a huge dent in it. The main body of the bag was filled with cracks while at the center of the dent, a bullet was lodged deeply within!
“I’m really lucky, extremely lucky!” Alice’s eyes were gleaming with tears, still affected by the lingering fear. “I received this bag, a Y luxury product line under Vatti’s brand that day itself! I fell in love with it at first sight. Of all the bags I’ve seen, this is the one that is most worthy of the title of a luxury item. That was why I carried it with me. Never did I expect it to be my guardian angel!”
“Thank you, Vatti. Thank you…Y!”
Finally, she gave a deep bow to the camera, filled with sincerity.
The video was short, but the viewer’s hearts were racing nonetheless. In fact, it could be that a storm brewed within them which caused them to be dumbstruck for a long time.
The next moment, the entire country boiled over with excitement!
“What the f*ck?! Fantastic! Spectacular! Amazing!”
“F*ck me. If not because of the princess, I would really think this is an advertisement!”
“Is this bag that amazing? It’s bulletproof?! Are you kidding me?”
“To be fair, this is the most amazing bag I’ve seen in my life!”
“I heard that China’s products are amazing. I didn’t believe it at first, but after seeing this bulletproof bag, my views have changed!”
“Oh my god! Are the Chinese this amazing? Unbelievable! What a miraculous eastern nation.”
“F*ck! Buy buy buy! Move it! I want to buy all the bags!”
“Previous post, you’re too naive. I’m already on the way to the store!”
…
In an instant, Vatti’s luxury item became a hit, a very big hit!
The level of its impact went beyond China[1]. It was truly something that rocked the world and followed by the public!
Within 10 minutes, all the specialty stores were filled with people. Moreover, the number of people was growing, blocking up the entire store!
“Oh my god, that’s the viscount. He’s in the line too!”
“He’s just the viscount. Do you know why he’s queuing up? That’s because there’s a baron and duke in front of him!”
“Damn. I’ve heard that even the prince is here. He even used his royal rights to ensure he gets one by all means necessary!”
“I’ve heard that the princess threw a tantrum and if the prince fails to get one for the princess, he will most likely have to kneel on a washing board!”
“Sob sob sob. I don’t know if the prince will be kneeling, but I’m definitely going to kneel on one! With so many big shots, how can I get one!?”
“I know, right? How many bags are there for our entire country? How are we even going to fight for one!?”
“I’m jealous of those that bought it earlier. I heard that someone was selling it for one million and it was sold in just one second. Now they are even selling it for five million!”
“That’s just crazy. China is doing much better as they have the most stock.”
“That’s right. Oh yeah, we can buy in China!”
“F8ck! Why didn’t I think about it? I have a friend in China. I need to have him buy one for me at all costs and send it back here!”
“Please help me get one as well, I beg of you…”
…
Vatti’s luxury item sent England into a fervor that grew in intensity.
A lot of people were set on purchasing it due to Alice’s influence, only realizing the true wonders of the bag when they actually managed to procure one themselves!
The texture, materials, and design were all perfect. They did not pay attention to the merits of this luxury bag. However, once they started looking, it was everywhere!
In an instant, the good reviews flooded in! The people of England would feel proud of owning this bag. If they posted a picture of that bag on their social media, they would receive countless likes and admiration from their friends. It was the classiest prop for bragging. The bag immediately made it the most popular item in England.
Given the circumstance, some people even secretly experimented and realized that the bag was not just bulletproof. It was even fire and waterproof!
The bag was able to resist the scorching flames for a short time and it was full waterproof!
Even if it were to be soaked in water for a full day, it would be totally unaffected. That meant that this bag could be passed on for hundreds of generations! It was resilient to corrosion!
The entirety of England was shocked. That bag was…extraordinary!
[1] In raw it was penned as “nation”, but given the context where the author claims its impact goes beyond China, we believe this should be something that rocked the “world” instead.
