Chapter 65: The Girl at the Market
Fortunately, this was the last stretch of uphill.
Once they got through it, the path started to slope downward. Once they were out of the mountain trail, they would see the river.
Following the riverbank all the way would take them to Solgok Village, and the market was located right next to that river.
By the time Bok Taejin and the others arrived, the marketplace was already crowded with people.
There were many who had come to buy things, and just as many who had come to set up stalls and sell.
Bok Taejin was a little worried they had arrived too late and wouldn’t be able to claim a good spot—would that affect their sales?
But Heo Taehyeon and Im Beomhyeon simply parked their carts wherever they pleased. The furs hadn’t even been spread out yet, let alone had they started hawking their wares, and already a large crowd had gathered, clamoring over prices.
Bok Taejin was dumbfounded.
Heo Taehyeon remained silent the whole time, only spreading out one pelt at a time, leaving Im Beomhyeon to handle the haggling. Once one was sold, he’d spread out another...
Apparently, Im Beomhyeon’s reputation as someone with formidable combat ability was well-known across the region. As long as he refused a price, no one dared to push their luck.
People wouldn’t even complain aloud—instead, they’d walk some distance away before quietly grumbling under the cover of the surrounding chatter.
