Chapter 4
“Awake, huh?”
Aiden took a step back, looking at the girl’s red eyes.
Her gaze was filled with hostility, but Aiden understood it. He was curious about the girl’s presence, but she had more reason to be bewildered, waking up to a stranger.
So, Aiden decided that it was better to explain the situation to the girl first. To ease her heightened guard and allow her the chance to express whatever she wanted to say.
Remaining cautious, Aiden calmly spoke:
“I’m Aiden. A junk dealer.”
A junk dealer roams the dangerous streets, scavenging for useful items, engaging in trades with survivors, or resolving requests – a term encompassing those who make a living in such ways.
With this concise introduction, Aiden revealed his name and occupation.
However, the girl responded with a sarcastic smirk, as if she didn’t believe him.
“Junk dealer? Is that a nickname?”
“Don’t you know what a junk dealer is?”
