Capítulo 71: Venomous Clash

As the noise of Julius' steps echoed around the campfire, Arun rose to his feet and raced towards him. His friend's somber face lit up, and his lips stretched into a smile as he could finally escape Asha's never-ending conversations. Then, Arun dragged him inside his carriage and slammed the door behind them.

"Good night, Asha. It's getting late!" Arun yelled, his tense mind relaxing. Then he turned to Julius and pleaded, frustration lacing his voice.

"Please, I beg you, don't leave me alone with her again. You have no idea how much I suffer when she talks nonstop about business opportunities and the country's economy. All I want is to focus on alchemy. I don't care about those boring topics!"

For as long as he could remember, Asha had always been obsessed with those subjects and forced him to listen to them. He suspected she liked them so much that she could even sell him as long as the deal was profitable.
