41 The Oldman Yordrunli 2 (1/2)

”Just how did you come across this?” He raised his eyes and pinned Haru with a stare, it was like he was trying to peer into his soul as he looked at him. But it didn't seem to bother Haru in the least, he still had a cool and collected smile on his face.

”We defeated a ghost,” he waved his hand at the Oldman, who promptly turned his head towards me. It felt like a weight was crashing into my body when he looked at me. I wanted to turn and run, but I couldn't move.

Fear swept through my body. It felt like I was being suffocated by the sheer pressure that he emitted. This man was dangerous, I felt my legs start to weaken.

Sensing my despair Callista expands her body and stands in front of me, lowering her head she angles her antlers at the Oldman. She lets out a snort as she looks at him. The crushing sensation lessened since she took the brunt of the stare.

My legs no longer felt like they would collapse at any second. Taking a deep breath, I try to calm my nerves that are frayed after that brutal encounter

All of the sudden a hardy laugh left his throat, the crushing sensation completely vanished.

”Lassy you're rather strong for being only a wee little level eight,” his gruff voice sounded and I rested a hand on Callista as I stepped out from behind of her. Steeling myself, I raise my eyes to look at him.

Coming face to face with the white beard Oldman he looked pleased. There was no longer the scary pressure that he had been emitting before, instead, a warm relaxing feeling wafted off of his body.

”Thank you,” I simply responded staying close to Callista.

”Old Friend is this your new woman, she's indeed beautiful and appears to hold a lot of potential,” the Oldman laughed slamming his hand down on the desk.

Haru gave him a stiff look and then turned towards me, but I just roll my eyes. I didn't mind the Oldman's word, they were simply just words in the end. It didn't reflect my actions in the end.

”Be careful Yordrunli she's stronger than you'd think,” he simply shrugged at the Oldman.

”Hm.” The Oldman looked at me once more, but no pressure appeared he looked at me as if searching for something. But after a second he turned away and didn't say anything else in the end.

”Shall I transfer you the money then for the item?” Haru asks turning towards me and taking a step forward.

”Sure.”

With a smile, he makes a couple small swipes in the air and then a notification appeared before my eyes. Oh, it appeared that this would make things simple.

[Accept Currency Transfer]

I tapped accept and a number appeared in the upper right of my screen. I almost choked, the figured jumped from a couple hundred thousand gold to over two million gold.

Throwing a glance towards Haru, I see a devious smile on his face.

”Wh..why so much?” I stutter slightly.

”That's cheap for a triple-A ranked item on any other world you know, most of the time you can't even purchase these from normal channels, you'd have to go through the black market.” He replied in a nonchalant manner.
