章節 16: A Trap
Thea soon reached the place she wanted to. The man recognized him immediately and gave her VIP entry, still thinking that she was a man.
As she walked in, with a careless look on her face, she felt someone staring at her often. But whenever she turned to look around her, she found no one.
But she was sure that her keen senses of mercenary could never be wrong. She was being watched.
But by whom? Jenny was a fool and her mother was too delusional. She would never believe that she had sneaked in.
And her father… he did not care a damn even if she get lost or die somewhere. Then who?
She turned vigilant as she walked in.
The door was closed and she finally felt the eyes moving away.
"Oh, gentlemen, I was not hoping to see you again so soon when I asked you to come back soon. Not that I am complaining about it!" he smiled and rubbed his hand with anticipation.
"So, do you have more news?" he asked with a smile when she nodded her head and threw the ball on the table.
It lit up instantly and raised higher in the air. The moans and groans soon filled the room when the face of the man turned red and hot while his nails found its place in his mouth as he started to chew on them.
"Oh my lord. Oh my god! This would be sold like hot baked potatoes. Where did you even get this from?" he jumped on his chair when the video finally paused when she just shrugged.
"50,000 gold coins for this one." she stated the price with a clam face but his face turned red instantly.
"That is double the price of last time. That is way too much." he complained when she held the ball in her hands and stood up.
"Then I can go and sell it to someone who can afford it." her careless reply made the man frown.
He knew that the news could burn the whole empire and it could help him in betting the best in the empire but the amount.
What if he..
"Do not think about forcing me. Even if I will not be able to fight many of them, I will make sure to throw the crystal ball and break it. Then the news would vanish into thin air." he paused. It would be a waste to lose such news.
"Fine, I will pay!" he sighed as he took out the bags of gold from his locked and threw it towards her who smirked and passed the globe to him.
Taking out her money, she walked out of the room but paused to confirm. The eyes were not looking at her anymore.
All this must have been a coincidence.
As she walked away, she decided to explore the land too as she was not sure for how long she was going to stay here.
Even the touch of wind on her skin felt so realistic, that she had started to accept this land as her home.
"Best medicine to improve your immunity and magic skills. Best medicine to even heal your wounds. You will find a perfect solution to all your problems here. Give us a chance and you will never be disappointed." she paused as she looked at the shop. A lot of herbal medicine was struck there and a lot of men and women were entering like wild bees.
Why will a strong medical need to shout like that? She thought that it was a scam, especially when the man started to shout loudly when their eyes met.
She shook her head and was about to leave when the man shouted more desperately,
"Best solutions at fifty percent discount. You will never get a cheaper deal." but she still ignored it.
The face of the man turned pale and more sweat started to cover it. She ignored the number of men who started to fill his shop as his eyes were fixed on the brat who was leaving and he cursed.
"If you do not get the result you desire, we will return thrice the amount you charged. Limited time offered a deal like never before." he shouted at the top of his lungs when she finally stopped and looked back at the shop.
Her eyes still filled with doubts but the chance to win the amount thrice tempted her. Thrice of 50,000 will be 1,50,000. It would be enough for her to buy a new house after destroying this one.
She walked into the shop but felt strange when the man smiled so brightly looking at her.
"Yes, my lady. How can I help you?" he asked her as he asked his assistant to deal with others.
She raised a brow as she heard the curses of the angry mob but still gave him a smirk.
"I get tired easily after performing even a slight magic. I want to increase my strength and the capability to do magic." she said in a cold voice when she felt the lips of the man twitch yet he kept smiling at her.
"Of course, we have our physician and healer who can help you in healing the perfect parts of your body. If you please just walk in and let them check what is wrong with you."
She stared at the dark door he was pointing at and her face turned evil. The smile on her face widened as she nodded and walked in.
