Chapter 151: Baron Richard
"I’ve heard fascinating stories about your products," the baron continued, his small eyes scanning the shop’s displays with obvious shock. He had never seen this style of shop before; it was the first time he had seen such a thing.
One of his bodyguards stepped forward slightly, the movement carrying a threat despite its apparent casualness. The man’s hand rested near his sword hilt as if threatening Noah indirectly.
"What can I help you with today?" Noah asked.
Whilst he could have simply kicked the baron out, he didn’t want to. He wanted to know what this man was looking for specifically. Besides, based on the baron’s answers, Noah might be able to discern his plans.
Baron Richard’s laugh was an unpleasant sound that filled the small shop. "Oh, I think you know exactly what I want, my dear shopkeeper."
The baron approached the counter slowly. "You see, I’ve been thinking about our previous business relationship. How generous you were with your payment. How... accommodating you proved to be."
The baron’s words were clear. He was going to extort Noah once again, whether he liked it or not. Or that’s what the baron thought, at least.
"I find myself in need of certain... supplies," the baron continued, his tone becoming more openly threatening. "Healing items, enhancement potions, you know, whatever you have here in your shop."
Lola’s position behind the counter allowed her to observe the baron’s bodyguards while her demon features remained concealed.
