Chapter 24: Selling a Potion (2/2)

Kadyn eyed them and asked. ”Is it... too high?”

”Too high?” everyone peered at him speechlessly.

”You don't want it?” Kadyn inquired and started to place the potion inside the counter once more.

”No, no, I want it.” Replied the wounded man. How could he refuse such a generous offer? Anyone knew even the most basic potions sell at the gobsmacking prices. Kadyn was literally giving it free. Though the shopkeeper was unaware of that if he knew he would have definitely raised the price.

The man passed the money and asked. ”Can I use it here?”

Although he had bought the potion, there still lingered the shred of doubt inside his head. It was the first time he came to this shop, and the chances of being conned were extremely high. So he decided to use the potion in the presence of everyone.

”Sure, go ahead,” he replied and passed the veil before taking the money.

[Do you want to change the money into energy points? Y/N]

”What is this?” Kadyn demanded in surprise to the system.

”As I told you before, it is you who concocted the potion. The system can change it into energy points but not without your permission.”

Kadyn nodded and denied converting it into the energy points. It's been over twenty-four hours since he and Elora had eaten something. He was already thinking about this matter when the help arrived. Now he could have supper with his sister, at the very least. A warm smile appeared on his lips.

”How deep!”

”How did he get that wound?”

”It looks like a beast claw.”

”What kind of vicious animal could do that?”

Kadyn glanced in front of him when he heard the gasps of others standing behind the wounded customer—two more people had arrived in the meantime.

At this moment, the man had pulled his shirt upward and revealed his stomach. Grotesque gash appeared. Deeper than four inches and white ribcage could be seen inside and crimson blood flew out of the wound. Claw mark!

Kadyn realised that previously this man had stuck a cloth into the wound to stop the blood. However, when he pulled it out, the wound opened again. The man grunted and pulled out the stopper of the veil and poured the entire potion into his wound.

”Ahh!” he moaned when a soothing sensation spread inside his body and the biting pain vanished. He opened his eyes wide in surprise and examined his gash and exclaimed in jubilation. He left dumbstruck when he found the wound was healing, with a pace visible to the eyes.

”W-what is this potion?” he questioned Kadyn agitatedly. He had seen nothing like this before. Even the best of the best shop in the Upper Town area could not provide something as marvellous as this potion.

Kadyn smiled without replying. He had already given him the introduction. There was no need to repeat the same words.

The man took a deep breath when Kadyn remained silent and said. ”My name is Khrom. I will never forget this kindness.”

Kadyn shook his head in resignation. He was just doing his business. However, he was unaware of how grateful Khrom was. After all, the potion was just too precious for him.

While Khrom smiled jubilantly, the smirk on the faces of the other three froze. They were waiting for Kadyn to be humiliated, yet he won himself glory.
