Chapter 324: [322] Excitement!
After employing "a little" trickery, August successfully exchanged a vast amount of gold coins.
All this time, he had almost forgotten one key thing: as the Lord of the Original Sin, controlling weaker beings was as easy as breathing for him—especially humans burdened by lust, who were even more easily manipulated.
Without much effort, August drained the majority of this small town's gold supply.
These weren't mere checks or promissory notes; they were real, tangible gold coins, which August stored within his treasury. Of course, he maintained his pride and avoided theft. Every single coin was exchanged for jewels and treasures from his hoard, though at a particularly favorable exchange rate.
With his business concluded, August prepared to return. After all, it had been two or three days, and it was about time to head back. He still had unfinished business with Stunk and the others, not to mention their planned visit to the Succubus shop, which he found quite amusing.
Back at the "Ale and Eats" tavern, Meidri's feelings were mixed after not seeing August for three days.
"Speaking of which, where did August go? Haven't seen him for days," Stunk asked Meidri while sipping his drink, recalling August's clear interest in her.
"How should I know? Maybe he left," she replied nonchalantly.
"Left? What are you talking about? That guy just bought a house for over two million! You think he's going to leave right after? Who wastes that kind of money?"
"You're asking me? Who else would know?" Meidri snapped, turning her back and walking away.
"Looks like August really impressed her, huh? Meidri's clearly into him," Zel observed. He'd been paying attention and noticed Meidri's mood had soured since August's disappearance.
