Chapter 121: Disbelief Chapter 121: Disbelief Then she dropped the bombshell.

“He agreed to give us a 70% discount and let us pay monthly… but only for the first year.” The old man froze.

His eyes widened, his face a picture of pure shock.

Had he just heard her correctly?

A 70% discount?

Monthly payments?

His brain struggled to process it.

If Nnenna had mentioned this while they were still under the tree, there was a high chance he wouldn’t have believed her.

He might not have followed her at all.

Seeing the sheer disbelief on his face, bigger than when the shopkeeper had even agreed, Nnenna knew she had made the right choice by waiting until now to tell him.

The old man turned to the shop owner, his face still full of doubt.

He studied the man carefully, looking for any sign of hesitation, but the shop owner’s expression remained serious.

He didn’t look inexperienced either.

Why allow monthly payments when it clearly put him at a disadvantage in the first year?

It wasn’t as if he lacked potential tenants.

The shop was in a prime location, one of the best in the area.

The fact that it was still available was already surprising enough.

The old man needed to be sure he had heard correctly.

“Young man,” he said carefully, “are you saying that you will rent me this shop for a year with a 70% discount and allow me to pay in monthly installments?” The shop owner nodded.

The old man frowned.
