Chapter 312: Bread and Dagger (10)
With a clang, shards of ice scattered explosively. A clear light reflected, sprinkling brilliant hues all around. Had my perception been heightened, I might have been lost in a moment of dreamlike reverie.
But I had no leisure to be emotionally moved at the moment.
Because right after an ice spike flew at me, the man charged toward me.
It was an unexpected battle.
Initially, I only came to find the merchant who had swindled Emma.
I had no intention of engaging in a blade-to-blade fight.
As for the loss suffered, I could compensate her myself. What interested me more was that the merchant dealt with rare ingredients from the North.
In that case, he would also be well-informed about the developments in the North.
If the conversation didn’t work, that was fine too. I could simply teach him a lesson so he’d never try to pull one over Emma again.
