“My dear customers, where are you going?” the old man wearing an eye patch, whom they had run away from, suddenly appeared in front of them with a business smile. “Don’t you want to purchase amazing Magical Artifacts for a discounted price? This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, you know?”
“N-No thank you,” Chloe stuttered. “Ethan, we still have something to do, right? Let’s go. See you later, Mister.”
The young lady grabbed hold of Ethan’s hand and pulled him away from the Defective Good Section.
This time, the old man didn’t stop them and even stood aside to let them pass. However, just as Ethan was about to pass the old man with the smile of a bandit, the old man said something in a volume that only Ethan could hear.
“I’ll be here until midnight,” the old man said. “Make sure to come back before then while our 50% discount is still in effect.”
Ethan glanced at the old man, but the latter only smiled and even waved back at him.
