Smirking Merchant Novels & Stories

I replied, and he smirked sipping his coffee “And if I refuse to give it to you?” he asked and I smirked “Then you won’t live to tell what tomorrow is,” I said, and he cackled loudly slightly lolling his head back “You thought I didn’t come here prepared, I have heard stories of how corny you are,” He said and I smiled “But they didn’t tell you how I am always one step ahead, dearest merchant,” I said, and he started coughing profusely, I stood up from my seat and moved closer to him, and he fell down on the floor coughing out blood

"After taking advantage of the castle's hospitality, the merchant decided to set off for home. On the way to the heavy metal gates, he noticed a bed of the most beautiful red roses he has ever seen. Remembering his unkept promises to his children and Beauty's simple request, he decided to pick off the roses and make a small bouquet so that he won't go back empty handed." Once Miss Yumi flipped the page, the entire class gave a loud scream. A creature appeared out of nowhere behind the merchant, its entire face and body covered with thick, unkempt fur. Its long, sharp fangs and hideous claws terrified everyone out of their wits. Cathedra imagined that if she ever saw this Beast in real life,

The audacity he had for selling fake things to me to make profits. His shop was at the back of pilgrims market, where illegal business takes place. We arrived at his large shop and we were let in. He looked very enthusiastic to see us, if only he knew what was coming for him. “Sir Damien, to what do I owe this surprise visit?” He asked. I smiled as I placed my hands on his shoulder where he sat beside us. “My good man, am I not allowed to pay you a visit,eh? Or is there something you're hiding?” I asked with a mischievous grin on my face.

Smiling like the other ladies were. "What does he do for a living? What is he good at? What vocation is he dexterous in?“ "Is he a ferocious fighter with a wolf wilder than most? Can he protect you and your offsprings when you start birthing?" One of the ladies asked. One of the ladies asked enthusiastically. The young lady pretended to be coy and painful abashed for a moment before replying, "He is a merchant! He is a merchant in jewelry and he is a well to do member of our pack!“

I said. The merchant, a burly man with only one eye, the other wounded, frowned deeply, “Whose?” “Cecile.” I answered, “I could never be deserving of something so pretty.” “You’re right.” He laughed, “I’d rather the goddess curse me herself than have any of my pretty garments on the likes of you.”

I whispered. “That’s what he said,” the merchant nodded, looking at his wrapped wrist. “I didn't think much of it at the time. The big packs, they're always arranging things. Marriages, trade deals, deaths. It’s all a game to them. I just figured it was some boring tax thing.” “Always,” I said. My voice was a ghost. “They are always arranging things.” “Anyway,” he said, standing up and testing the weight of his arm. “That feels much better. You have a steady hand, healer.”

"I am delighted by your gesture. But I must insist on returning the coins to you." The merchant shook her head. "No, Mia. Those coins are yours to keep. Consider them a gift from me, to help you on your journey." I was moved by the merchant's kindness, and accepted the gold coins with gratitude. "Thank you. Your generosity will be a precious memory for me, always." The merchant smiled, her eyes sparkling with emotion. "I hope that we will meet again, Mia. Until then, you will always have a friend in me." With that, the merchant's driver brought the carriage to a stop in front of the port and I bid farewell to the merchant, my heart filled with a mix of emotions.

He observes a signed conversation taking place, reminding himself of the danger of eavesdropping in such a place. After a few moments, the merchant clicks for attention, indicating that he's available. Trent looks up as the other customer leaves, finally getting the chance to discuss the restricted item he came for. Carefully setting the crystal dagger on the counter, he asks, "Do you have it ready?" The merchant, an older, lean, and muscular ex-military merman, reaches down and retrieves a large metal node, placing it next to the crystal dagger. Trent waits as the merchant proceeds to go over the item's functions and disclaimers.

But then, the merchant's voice echoed from within the stall, making me freeze. “... un' ve shall see vot ve can do after ze meeting at ze district, yes,” a stout man with bushy beard and receding hairline boomed with a thick eastern accent as he walked out of the stall. He put on a dirty apron and was wrapping its ties around his waist when our eyes met. “Fuck," I muttered under my breath as my grip on the clothe tightened.

He stood there… A few minutes later, the warrior came on his horse. "What arrogance," said the merchant. "Dismount! At once!" Sasaki stood silent. The warrior dismounted with a smirk on his face. He moved up the path, smiling all the way up. He turned, looked at the merchant. A sarcastic smile went from ear to ear. "Are you ready?" he asked. "Yes," Sasaki replied without emotions. "You are a different one." "Let's begin."
