The bell at the door rang.
The boss behind the counter turned around, but when he saw the visitor, he adjusted his glasses frame, and his eyes seemed somewhat puzzled.
“Customer, why do you look so weak?”
Henry felt his body was somewhat unsteady, as if his whole person was floating in the sky.
But Henry forced himself to remain calm and raised his hand, stopping what the boss wanted to say.
“I just haven’t rested well these past few days, no need to say more.”
“I understand what you mean, I happen to have what you need right here.”
The boss walked to a nearby drawer and took out two fruits from inside.
A strawberry and a peach.
The boss leaned close to Henry, lowering his voice.
“These are goods I recently acquired. A boss used them and immediately wanted to buy more, with a hundred percent satisfaction rate!”
The boss secretly raised a thumbs up, looking like these two fruits in his mouth were very useful.
But looking at what was in his hands, Henry’s face could hardly smile.
Wasn’t that his Ecstasy Strawberry and Primordial Yang Essence Peach?
Now the boss wanted to sell his own things back to him?
And also, so Lilith really did sell his things, but where was the money? Where did his money go?
Henry expressed strong condemnation for Lilith’s embezzlement behavior!
He had already decided that tonight in his dreams he would severely punish Lilith and make her beg him for mercy!
Henry pushed the fruits back.
“Boss, I really just can’t sleep well. Don’t bring me these things anymore, I don’t need them.”
“Ah, you young people don’t understand the importance of these things. How about this, since you’re a customer in my shop, I’ll give you one for free!”
The boss seemed very generous at this time, taking great care of Henry.
“Boss, how much Gold Coins do these two sell for?”
“Shh, don’t tell people outside, these two are priceless, starting at least one thousand Gold Coins!”
The boss carefully looked toward the door, afraid someone would overhear.
And hearing this price, Henry’s jaw almost dropped to the ground.
These two fruits could actually sell for so many Gold Coins?
Then what did the one thousand Gold Coins that Rumelter compensated him count for? Not even as good as selling aphrodisiac medicine himself?
The boss felt Henry’s breathing seemed somewhat rapid, as if he was in an excited state.
He hadn’t even eaten them yet, but just smelling them was already effective?
The boss thought he might need to appropriately raise the price even more.
“Then boss, I’ll give you these two fruits, help me exchange them for two thousand Gold Coins.”
What a guy, completely shameless?
The boss had never seen such a brazen person!
He now just wanted to kick Henry out of the shop.
“Forget it, let’s not talk about this first. What do you want to buy this time? The shop has gotten a lot of new goods recently, there should be something you like.”
The boss turned around, wanting to go to the small room behind to find new goods.
But Henry called out to stop him.
“Boss, I want to ask, how exactly did you get that Black Magic Book?”
Henry’s main purpose for coming this time was to ask about the origins of this Black Magic Book.
This kind of book related to Black Magic shouldn’t appear on the market at all.
The boss actually dared to boldly sell it to others.
If discovered by the Church, he would definitely be imprisoned and severely interrogated.
And hearing Henry’s words, the boss’s eyes immediately lit up.
“How is it, did you explore the book’s secrets?”
The boss leaned very close, almost kissing him.
Henry decisively maintained distance from the boss. He was now afraid the boss was some kind of research fanatic who would grab onto him and not let go, which would be troublesome.
And regarding the Black Magic in the book, the boss definitely didn’t know, so Henry didn’t plan to directly reveal all the book’s secrets.
“There aren’t really any secrets, it’s just that I can see some words on the book now.”
“What is it!”
The boss excitedly grabbed Henry’s shoulders.
This abnormal attitude made Henry feel very strange.
He silently stared at the boss and didn’t respond immediately.
And the boss also seemed to sense his overly excited attitude, and quickly restrained himself.
He pushed his glasses frame and took a deep breath to calm himself down.
“Speaking of which, you might not believe it, but I’m actually an explorer. This book was obtained from an ancient ruin.”
“If you’re a Tomb Raider, just say Tomb Raider. What explorer?”
Henry was really speechless. The boss was still lying at this point.
And the boss who was exposed by Henry showed an embarrassed smile.
“Ah well, you also know this profession isn’t glorious. I can’t take a megaphone to the streets and shout everywhere that I’m a grave robber.”
“So what, how was this book discovered?”
“When I was exploring a tomb, I discovered an unusual entrance. That entrance seemed to have a very powerful Magic Barrier. I spent great effort to open just a crack to squeeze through. Then after walking to the end, I found this Black Book.”
As a qualified Tomb Raider, what things were valuable and what weren’t, he could judge at a glance.
He felt this Black Magic Book definitely had unspeakable secrets.
It’s just that with his current level, there was no way to decipher it.
So he chose to open a small general store here in the Imperial Capital, to see if anyone could decipher this book’s secrets.
He didn’t expect the person who could do all this was actually a young person.
But Henry was considering the truth and falsehood of the boss’s words.
After all, the other party’s identity was special, and lying without blinking was also commonplace.
“So what exactly is written on that book?”
The boss rubbed his hands like a fly, with an impatient expression.
“It said it hasn’t eaten its fill, wants to eat its fill before talking.”
“Huh? What kind of talk is that? What does a book want to eat?”
The boss was somewhat surprised, even somewhat doubting that Henry was lying to deceive him.
But Henry wasn’t lying to deceive people either.
This book was indeed hungry, wanting to eat large amounts of things, which wasn’t a problem.
It’s just that Henry didn’t tell the boss that what this book wanted to eat was Magic Power.
“Ah, I knew this book definitely had secrets! Like this, brother. I’ll pay ten times the price to buy back this book from you. I guarantee you won’t lose out, how about it?”
The boss was now desperately trying to get the book back.
Now knowing some of the book’s secrets, it could definitely be sold for a higher price.
He was just afraid Henry wouldn’t be willing!
As expected, Henry remained silent, seemingly thinking about whether to sell or not.
And seeing Henry’s reaction, the boss immediately knew there was a chance!
“Fifteen… no, twenty times! Brother, twenty times is ten thousand Gold Coins, enough for you to buy a plot of land in the suburbs and build a small villa!”
“Deal!”
Henry immediately took out that Black Magic Book from his chest and placed it in the boss’s hands, without the slightest hesitation!
And seeing Henry’s straightforward action, the smile that originally belonged to the boss didn’t disappear, it just transferred to Henry’s face.
