บท 91: Bartering in the City

As Julius walked through the intricate streets of the city, he couldn't help but look in awe at how bustling they were.

The cafés and bars were filled with people. Moreover, some weird shops, illuminated by red lights, attracted his attention.

"You are too young for those shops," Adam said, blocking Julius's vision by standing before him.

"Can't I just have a quick look, big bro? I promise not to stay long." Julius asked curiously.

"I said no!" Adam suddenly screamed while holding the boy by the arm, startling him.

Adam's sudden outburst startled Julius, who looked up at his brother in surprise, his eyes wide with shock. His big brother didn't often yell at him, but when he did, it was usually for his own good.

"I understand. I won't go in these shops." Julius reassured Adam.

'I'll ask Arun what is inside later.' The boy thought, unaware that his naive and innocent curiosity would make him set foot into the world of adults.
