Chapitre 1984: A New Membeer

"Your store is being targeted too?" Alchemist Wang asked, surprised and for some reason, seemingly worried.

"Targeted… I wouldn't go that far. More like they're trying to see how well my store does, maybe," Alex said. "I haven't had much happening other than that one event many months ago, so maybe they have stopped."

"I doubt they stopped," the guild master said. "They may have just temporarily paused it. They had to focus their attention on her shop after all."

Alex gave those words some thought and nodded. "Then I suppose they will come after me soon," he said. "I wonder how long they'll wait."

The old man gave a weird look at Alex. "You… don't seem very worried," he said.

Alex shrugged. "What's there to be worried about?" he asked. "If they come after me, I'll just leave. There are plenty of other cities I can visit."

"You are ready to leave what you've built so easily?" the old man asked with a deep frown.
