章 2075: Grimsight

Alex walked out of the store, with Wang Yanwei following him. They left the store behind for Fang Yuxie and Rocksoul to handle. 

"You're not being serious right now, right?" Wang Yanwei asked. "You're just trying to scare me."

"I'm not. I'm really going to do what I said I was going to do," he said.

"You— goddammit. Just listen to me. We'll find a way to keep the store afloat. Come on!"

Alex found joy in watching her be frustrated. "Alright, here's the deal," he said, his voice lowering to a whisper. "I'm actually a very good alchemist. I've just been acting like I'm not that good."

"What?" Wang Yanwei couldn't begin to understand why he would say so.

"That's right," Alex said. "So you don't have to worry. We'll win the duel."

"No, what the hell are you talking about?" Yanwei asked.

"I just told you," Alex said.
