Chương 219: Chapter219-Breaking the Rules, Forced Trade （1st update, Cheer me with Power Stones!）

Even as John continued his conversation with Blue Sea, he seemed to sense Treasure Thief Rat's growing anxiety. 

Abruptly, he pivoted to face the creature, a smirk playing on his lips, "Why are you looking at me with such eyes?"

Caught off guard, Treasure Thief Rat faltered slightly, managing to reply in a stiff tone, "No... no reason... It's your turn to trade now."

John stepped forward nonchalantly, leisurely browsing through the available items for trade.

A plethora of dazzling items rapidly scrolled before his eyes. 

For some inexplicable reason, John took a considerable amount of time without settling on an item to trade. 

He appeared genuinely conflicted.

From the sidelines, Treasure Thief Rat waited in silent anticipation. 

Even though it was inwardly bursting with impatience, wishing to end this unexpected trade session quickly, it dared not rush John.
