Chapter 33: A Fairy Tale’s Happy Ending
That night, Leon once again appeared in front of the Old Junk Shop in Snake Mouth Alley.
After making sure he was not being followed, he pushed open the shop door, which was still lit inside.
Prompted by the ringing bell, the shop owner looked up at him, a hint of surprise crossing his face.
“You came earlier than expected. Are you in that much of a hurry to use the item?”
The owner got up and went to the door, checked the small window, locked it, then turned back behind the counter.
“But fortunately, what you wanted arrived quite early.”
As he spoke, he took out a quartz test tube filled with a purple liquid and placed it on the balance scale.
On the other side of the scale, he put an empty test tube of the same specifications, then began adding weights to measure it.
“A bit over seven grams. Let’s count it as thirty-five thousand.”
