Chapter 34: Bluffing (2/2)
Many others looked at Kadyn. They knew that people in the Upper Town monopolised the market of potions and artefacts, etc. They might not like it if Kadyn starts doing his business here. It worried 'em that Kadyn might stop trading potions when those people come to knock his doors.
Kadyn looked at their expectant yet anxious faces and said. ”Of course I will sell to them.”
Everyone became disappointed at his words. They should have known that it would happen, but they still had little hope. Now however.... Who would be stupid enough to reject the offer of someone from Upper Town. Almost all of them had connections with the Magic Association. It would be a terrible mistake to antagonise them.
”However…” As they thought the matter had come to an end. Kadyn said, looking around him at the curious faces of the people. ”I won't stop selling others.”
His words made everyone's eyes shine in anticipation. Then someone asked. ”But… but, they won't let you sell. Otherwise we would be able to buy something that they think should be available for people with status and peasants aren't worthy.”
Kadyn did not know about such a thing, but he felt irritated at such a stupid thinking. He was already dissatisfied with authorities of the Avibria City when no one helped regarding his mother's disappearance. ”Everyone can purchase from my shop.” He gritted his teeth and declared.
”Then…”
”To me, it doesn't matter if you're some big shot or a poor beggar. If you have enough money, I will sell you potions or anything my shop has to offer. I won't stop selling in the Lower Town just because someone doesn't want me to and vice versa. It's my choice to whom I sell. No one can stop, or I'll blast them—Lower Town, or Upper Town—Don't try me.”
His gaze fell on the people, intimidating them to no end. They looked at Fenon's ragged and miserable and bloody condition and shivered. No one dared to make a noise.
”Alright, come tomorrow,” Kadyn said. ”We won't sell anything today.”
Damn, I want to piss! Only Kadyn knew how terribly his heart was throbbing inside his chest. Today he had really gone too far on his bluffing. What other option did he have? If Fenon knew that he had no bombs left, he would end miserably.
Furthermore, after hearing others, he realised that many others would come after this incident. If he was nobody without any power, won't they play him to death like a fool? However, now they would be vigilant all the time. Afraid that he might throw a bomb on them anytime.
He would accept the title of maniac gladly. If he could frighten those people away.
”Heh? What is happening here?' a shocked voice came from behind Kadyn. Without turning he knew who it was—”What happened to you, Fenon?!”
Jenna almost screamed when she found Big One was standing in the rubble, supporting Fenon by his shoulders—she scurried towards Fenon and his companions and eyed their terrible condition in utter speechlessness.
Behind her, others also walked out of the Meditation Room with dumb faces. The scene in front of them had completely changed. It looked as if some kind of war had happened.
