Chapter 25: Throw Them Out (1/2)

”Ho-how could this be?” Shum stuttered, looking at the scene in front of him. Since when did someone sell this type of incredible potion in the city of Avibria?

He ogled at Khrom's healing wound and turned towards Kadyn, speaking. ”I want to purchase the potion. Tell me the price. I can pay double the price he paid just now.”

Kadyn curled his lips disdainfully and sneered. ”I really despise people like you.”

”You…” Shum's face flushed red in humiliation. But he suppressed the fury in his heart. He wanted the potion. The treasure such as this could become a lifesaving trump-card in peril. ”Will you sell it or not?!” he gritted his teeth hatefully.

”I can't believe how thick your skin is. After being humiliated, again and again, you can still stand here. Get lost!” Kadyn, who was smiling all this time, snapped. Shum and his two companions jolted and staggered back at his thunderous shout.

”You… you...!” Shum pointed his finger at Kadyn, but no word came out of his throat. He was so furious that his face turned crimson.

”You, your mother. Brother Khrom, why don't you throw them out and I'll give you one Soothing Potion with a twenty percent discount? You should know how hard it is to compound materials to make such a potion.” Previously Kadyn saw their expression and knew that the value of the potion far surpassed the price at which he sold. However, he cared little. He could always brew more.

”Alri… wait a moment,” Khrom gawked at Kadyn and demanded. ”You brew the Soothing Drop?”

”Of course, who else would do?” Kadyn casually replied. ”Please, don't let them run. I want to see them being thrown--”

Before he could finish Khrom bolted behind the escaping trio. Kadyn raised his brows in surprise. ”Wind element?” he murmured. Also, Khrom's control over his spell seemed impeccable.

”Ahh, leave me, you damn brute.” In just a blink Khrom got the two of them in dirt and Shum in his clutches. Shum felt shamed, disgraced, humiliated.

”You Bastard! Do you know who I am?” he cursed.

Khrom cared little about his threats and threw him out of the shop like crap. Looking at Shum, who laid on the road with a mouth kissing the ground and ass saluted the heaven. Khrom gave a disdainful sneer. The other two gave up on any hope and also joined their leader in the same comical posture.

”Do you have any mo' potions?” asked Khrom after throwing those nuisances. Just now, due to those morons, he hesitated to take the potion. If he hadn't drunk it, he would never realise how amazing it was. That's why he didn't think twice before thrashing 'em.

Kadyn shook his head. ”No, I have to brew it. You can come tomorrow if you want any.”

”Alright,” Khrom nodded and strolled away through the gate. Kadyn looked in his direction and fell into deep contemplation. This guy isn't as simple as he seems. Khrom hid it carefully, but Kadyn felt a deep hatred in his heart. Not for himself. As for who? He had no interest to know.

”S-sir, what is the pr-price for meditating?” when Khrom left, a stammering voice inquired. Kadyn lifted his gaze and found two boys standing in front of the counter. He remembered these two had arrived after those three morons.
