Chapter 284

Jeremy squatted in front of the stall for a while, then stood up disinterestedly.

It’s nothing special. The emerald pendant I saw earlier was more appealing, he thought

The vendor, still processing what had just happened, thought to himself, Huh? Is he leaving already?”

Anything from this stall would have been enough for Jeremy to wrap things up and take Yvonne home.

But after just two minutes, he’s walking away? This guy is unbelievable, the vendor thought

Thinking about Yvonne, who was still suffering, the vendor was determined to keep Jeremy from leaving

“Wait a minute. The vendor’s sudden words successfully stopped Jeremy in his tracks.

Out of all the stalls Jeremy had passed tonight, this was the first one where the vendor took the initiative to speak to him.

Hence, Jeremy turned back and squatted in front of the stall.

Stefan, meanwhile, stood quietly at the side, Yvonne nestled comfortably in his arms.

Jeremy crouched in front of the stall, visibly surprised. “You guys actually take the initiative to talk?” he asked, intrigued.

The vendor, half–hidden in the dim glow, felt his face twitch in silent frustration.

‘Of course we talk, we’re not background NPCs he grumbled internally.

Still, instead of voicing that, he stuck to the classic NPC script. “Young man, I feel like fate has brought us together. I’ll tell you what–whatever you buy today, I’ll give you a 20% discount.”

Rather than being excited, Jeremy eyed him suspiciously and asked, “Is this same kind of new marketing tactic?”

Or maybe this guy just has way too much unsold junk and is using fancy sales tactics to clear out his stock?’ he thought.

Thinking himself rather cautious, Jeremy shook his head and casually dropped a line that nearly made the vendor pass out from sheer frustration. “No thanks, cheap stuff is never good.”

The vendor’s smile stiffened instantly. Outwardly, he maintained a polite demeanor, but inside, he was already fuming. A perfectly good deal right in front of you, and you’re turning it down? Serves you right if you get scammed elsewhere!” he thought.

Under normal circumstances, the vendor would have gone stone–faced and kept his mouth shut. But today was different

Yvonne was still in Jeremy’s hands, and as long as Jeremy did not get his hands on something worthwhile, she would not be able to return home for a proper rest.

Thus, no matter how angry the vendor was, he had to coax Jeremy.

As the vendor tried to think of the right words to persuade the young master to stay, a faint, sleepy voice suddenly reached
