"Uhh..."

"Then does it look good? Not at all. Nobody would pick it up even if you threw it over there. That's why we should come to another agreement. Let's see..."

Dorian grabbed the merchant's shoulder, who was partially out of his mind, and kept telling him something incomprehensible.

"It's perfect! One gold!"

"Uwaa..."

It looked like the shop owner was sick of Dorian's eloquence and talkativeness as his head shook like a pendulum.

"J-just give one gold for it."

Raon looked around, and Dorian raised his thumb to brag.

"Good job."

Raon snickered and left one gold on the counter.

'It must be even cheaper than that, actually.'

He must've obtained the ring at between ten to twenty silvers. The reason he gave him one gold despite knowing that was because the ring was worth more than a hundred gold.

"Wow, do the customers visit around here often? That was really amazing despite your young appearance."

The shop owner wiped the sweat from his forehead and blew a breath.

"I'm from a merchant family. I know everything about stuff like this."

"That's why you were so good with calculations. Goodbye!"

The shop owner waved his hand and sat in front of the counter.

"It doesn't look great in my eyes, but it must be good if the young master likes it."

"You are indeed from a merchant family, but your eyes aren't sharp at all."

As Raon went outside with the ring in his hand, the fox masked woman and her guards were standing in front of the shop. She was the woman he met the day before in the casino.

"Wait a moment."

She looked at the ring he was holding in his right hand.

"Did you buy that ring from here?"

She was speaking politely unlike the day before, even though the arrogance behind it was the same.

"I did."

Raon responded the same way.

"How about selling it to me? I don't know how much you bought it for, but I'll pay ten times the price."

"Eek!"

The scream came from the merchant, who had been smiling from behind him.

"Y-young master let's sell it. She wants to buy that cheap ring for ten times its price!"

Dorian walked up to him like a crab and whispered in his ears.

'This woman...'

The fox masked woman's yellow eyes were glowing. It was a different feeling from yesterday's desire for victory, the greed. She must've been aware of the ring's true value.

"I don't want to."

Raon resolutely shook his head.

"Then as for the payment... What?"

Her voice's pitch increased since she'd expected him to sell it for sure.

"I'm not selling it."

As he was trying to leave the shop while shaking his hand, the guards that were standing next to her blocked his way.
