บท 261: Red Brick House

She looked up at the tall building before her. Laina let out a sigh as she looked from side to side. Her initial plan of setting up a market stall may have fallen through but she was not ready to give up so easily. 

With the amount of wealth she had, she could easily purchase the entire market hall. Perhaps even the entire town. But that would be too petty of a move. At least, not at this point in time. Laina walked down the cobblestone streets, looking into the shops. She was hoping to find an empty one to rent. 

An old man noticed Laina from across the street. He had watched her for some time. Perhaps it was his intuition or his advanced age; he seemed to know what she was looking for. 

"Miss," he went up to her and tapped Laina on the shoulder. 

"Yes?" Laina furrowed her eyebrows. She had never met the old man before and was confused as to why he had approached her.
