Chapter 307: The True Attitude
Chapter 307: The True Attitude
"..."
An awkward silence fell upon the entrance of Lin Sai's plant shop.
"You... How could you not know?" The young man stammered, feeling as if Lin Sai was toying with him.
Lin Sai replied calmly, "I've just arrived in this city, so it's natural that I don't know anything."
The young man, in a hurry, almost interrupted, "But even if you're from Lookout City, you should have heard of my master's name!"
Lin Sai stated another fact, "But in reality, I've just arrived in the Forest Courtyard world, so I can't be considered a resident of Lookout City."
"..."
The young man was momentarily lost for words.
In his understanding, his master's name should be known to everyone.
Until this moment.
Lin Sai revealed that he wasn't originally from the Forest Courtyard.
The young man sighed, leaning forward slightly, a mix of regret and helplessness in his voice as he introduced, "My master is the Riverbank Chamber of Commerce. Now you understand the significance of this invitation, right?"
Lin Sai raised an eyebrow, "Awakener?"
The young man was agitated by Lin Sai's words, even shouting, "What do you mean by Awakener?"
"Sir Alquin is not just any Awakener! He's an Ascended one! A great figure of the Sixth Stage!"
An example immediately came to Lin Sai's mind, "So he's like Kuete."
"Mr. Kuete..." The young man was sensitive to the names of both Sixth Stage Merchants, and soon became entangled with Lin Sai's choice of words, "And you, you're so impolite, just calling the master by his name!"
"..."
Lin Sai's first reaction was that the young man's behavior was abnormal.
After all, his past life's memories instilled in him a basic belief in equality.
However, considering the circumstances of this world...
This almost fanatical respect seemed reasonable.
After all, these were people who possessed extraordinary power, and it was only because of Lin Sai's unique upbringing that he had rarely encountered such individuals.
Lin Sai sighed inwardly.
Following the local customs and out of respect for others, Lin Sai tentatively asked, "Alright, alright."
"Mr. Kuete, Sir Alquin, is that better?"
The young man was exasperated with Lin Sai.
He was even at a loss, but in the end, he chose to extend his hand to Lin Sai, intending to pull him along and return to see the Sixth Stage Merchant.
"Anyway, come with me quickly."
Lin Sai directly shook off the young man's hand, "I'm sorry, but I refuse."
"The messenger should have already informed everyone about Lookout City. I won't be getting any new information here, so there's no need for your hospitality."
This sudden invitation made Lin Sai cautious.
The other party had two possible motives.
One, as a member of the Riverbank Chamber of Commerce, Kuete had passed on the message here.
So, as a merchant partner, Sir Alquin was planning something for Lin Sai.
The second possibility was that the city's merchants were highly sensitive.
After Elaine had displayed her stockings the night before, they had not only discovered Elaine but also Lin Sai, who had entered the city with her. The next morning, they came to visit him.
Two possibilities.
Regardless of the situation, Lin Sai had no intention of accepting the invitation.
He had even prepared to change his appearance and go into hiding in the city.
And if things got worse...
If Elaine got into trouble because of the stockings, he was ready to rescue the merchant girl.
In front of Lindsey, the young man's reaction was even more dramatic.
When Lindsey refused, he gaped, only to realize what had happened after a moment, and then he stammered, confirming,
"Hey, this is Sir Alquin's invitation!"
"Is there a rule that I can't refuse?"
The next second, Lindsey was about to close the shop door.
At that moment,
The young man, realizing that his mission was about to fail, also became anxious.
He directly took out a wooden carved coin from his pocket and threw it towards Lindsey.
"No, you can't refuse!"
The wooden coin had a twin serpent design carved on it.
It was a Twin Serpent Coin, but only a prototype-level item.
The young man at the shop entrance was an official apprentice of the Merchant Guild, but his skill was only at the first stage, far from having the ability to independently manufacture a Twin Serpent Coin.
This prototype of the Twin Serpent Coin was given to him as a reward by other merchants in the guild when they were in a good mood.
Lindsey directly caught the Twin Serpent Coin in the air with his right hand.
As soon as the desire rose in his heart, it was instantly suppressed by his will and essence, not causing any ripples:
"Twin Serpent Coin? What do you mean?"
"I'm doing this for your own good!" The apprentice's expression was extremely agitated, as he thought the Twin Serpent Coin had taken effect, and he tried to continue persuading, "You know what will happen if you refuse Sir Alquin's request..."
Crack—
Lindsey exerted force with his fingers, directly crushing the Twin Serpent Coin into fragments in his hand, and the wood shavings fell to the ground along with his fingertips.
The apprentice's heart also fell with the wood shavings.
At this moment, Lindsey spoke again, his tone turning icy cold,
"Do you know what the consequences usually are when you use an Awakener's skill on a stranger?"
"..."
The apprentice was scared out of his wits.
"You... aren't you a Stage Three Awakener?"
The apprentice's voice was hoarse and trembling.
A complete Twin Serpent Coin was something that only a Stage Four merchant could produce.
The Twin Serpent Coin he threw, though only a prototype, should theoretically be effective against a Stage Three Awakener.
The apprentice had checked the other party's entry information and had never expected that Lindsey would be immune to such influence!
He even crushed it forcibly with just one arm!
The apprentice's expression was one of terror.
At the same time, Lindsey generously opened the shop door.
He took a step forward, and the apprentice trembled and took a step back, unable to speak.
"..."
"Lindsey, what are you doing?"
Suddenly, a pleasant female voice rang out from the other end of the street.
The two turned their heads and saw Elaine appear at the riverbank.
The girl had originally made an appointment to meet with Lindsey, but after waiting for a while, he didn't show up.
The merchant's alertness made her sense that something was wrong.
Elaine immediately came over to check the situation and happened to witness the scene before her.
"This..."
Elaine's gaze shifted between Lindsey and the apprentice, quickly realizing the current situation.
The girl immediately made a decision.
She stepped forward, directly embracing Lindsey's arm tightly in her embrace.
After making this intimate gesture,
Elaine flirtatiously tossed her purple long hair and then gave the apprentice in front of her a gentle smile:
"Sorry, you've got the wrong person."
"Just tell Sir Alquin that Lindsey is my companion and my lover, and has nothing to do with stockings."
"Please don't disturb him again."
