章 161: Chapter 161: Brewing Doubts

Barret's brows furrowed, a hint of curiosity mixing with caution. "What do you mean?"

Kain took a deep breath, weighing his options. "Well, with my connections through the school I should be able to procure the barley you need from fields outside of the city. I also have my own spiritual fields, and the Brewer's Barley was one of the ones I'd planted, although I'll need to greatly scale up production if we were to consider selling." Kain was thankful that when he saw the Brewer's Barley seeds available for cheap that he'd purchased them in preparation of this very moment.

"I'm sorry? Selling? Aren't you a student? You want to help me reopen my bar?" Barret asked puzzledly. Somehow the kid he'd invited over offhandedly to thank him for his service was now trying to enter business talks with him. But he also felt hope that he'd be able to reopen for business sooner.
