Chapter 692 Close Range

"Mr. Clemens, great to learn from you!" Sadie's words were laced with encouragement. A meaningful smile played on her lips as she departed, her entourage trailing behind her. "Make way!" Annika's voice sliced through the air as she purposefully collided with Andrew. His teeth ground together in a silent display of his anger.

The other merchants, witnessing Sadie's departure, recognized the temporary ceasefire. Disappointment etched on their faces, they dispersed.

"Perhaps Mr. Clemens is strategically retreating, only to advance later..."
