His condescending tone was the last nail in the coffin for Katelyn. She approached to assist the old man in rising, shooting a furious glare at the burly man.
“It’s bad enough that you peddle medicine at exorbitant prices, but you also swindle people out of life-saving medications! You are truly inhumane.” Katelyn’s rage reached a fever pitch.
He was so callous, resembling a monster in disguise. She longed to draw her gun and confront him right then and there.
The burly man glared at Katelyn with contempt.
“I advise you to stay out of this, or I’ll shoot you as well!”
Vincent’s eyes were icy and intense, fixed on the burly man. His hand was already poised on his gun. For individuals like this, consigning them to hell was the most effective solution.
The burly man remained oblivious to the fact that death was looming over him, and his demeanor became increasingly haughty.
“Oh, weren’t you just trying to buy medicine from me too? Well, I’ve changed the price. Forty billion! If you can pay, I’ll give you the medicine.”
Katelyn’s hands gripped so tightly that her knuckles cracked, her eyes overflowing with seething murderous intent.
The burly man smirked derisively as he said, “If you can’t pay, then get lost and cease meddling in my affairs.”
Katelyn’s gaze was frigid, and in an instant, a plan began to crystallize in her mind.
Clearance Sale
Without wasting a moment, Katelyn raised her voice and called out to the nearby buyers.
“Take a look, everyone! This man has a huge stock of Spring Snow Herb, and he’s selling it for a low price. Miss this chance, and you’ll regret it!”
R h t glov?ls.
To the average person, Spring Snow Herb might seem unremarkable, but for those in the know, its value was worth more than gold. Anything tied to life tended to see its price soar.
Katelyn’s shout quickly caught the crowd’s attention, and the burly man’s expression darkened.
“What did you just say?”
With a hint of mockery in her smile, Katelyn replied, “We can’t pay your high prices, so I’ll help you out by spreading the word to attract wealthier buyers.”
She had already spotted the bulging pocket on his right side, likely stuffed with various medicines, including the precious Spring Snow Herb. At first, she had hoped to purchase it without any trouble, but since the burly man was being unreasonable, she had no choice but to be ruthless.
“Don’t miss this chance, everyone! A low-price clearance sale right here!” Katelyn shouted again to make sure her plan worked, and then quickly grabbed Vincent’s wrist and retreated, leaving the man to be swarmed by the crowd her words had attracted.
Vincent’s eyes gleamed with sharp understanding. He didn’t fully grasp how the black market worked, but after what he’d witnessed at the entrance, it all started to make sense.
