"We were promised a spectacle, and now it feels like we've been cheated out of our entertainment." "It's that scheming merchant, isn't it?" A man, probably taskmaster suggests, his eyes narrowing with suspicion. "He's the one who convinced us to come here in the first place." I nod in agreement, recognizing the merchant he's referring to. He's always had a knack for luring people in with promises of rare treasures and im

The worst and the most traumatizing incident that happened to me working as a courtesan is the public commotion. Yes, I was slut-shamed. My hair being pulled by the girlfriend of my customer. And they left me in the center of the street, kicking out from their car—the most embarrassing chapter of my life. But you know what? Since that incident, I became wiser and smarter, just like what I am doing now, exiting his bedroom. Mr. Bancroft is damn wealthy. His penthouse says it all: luxurious items and gold-coated silverware. Wearing his design

He observed the two men's outfits, then figured out who they were. He can’t help but feel surprised and honoured upon having an immortal master as his customer. "Good day to you both, cultivators," he said, vowing to the Ran Sect Elder Masters. Cian Xia and Chao Fei vowed back to him as a sign of acceptance of the merchant respect gesture. "Please, pack this all. We will buy them all, “Chao Fei said.

Absolutely unacceptable! This is a scam, a scam, I say! Mother, what have I done to deserve this karma? I’m only but a mere merchant boy looking to make a living, and they want me to sell my soul. I would rather die!”

I stated. She turned towards, evident surprise on her face, “How do you know about that?” I didn’t respond. “It’s not a merchant thing. It’s supposed to be only known to—” “Nobles, given to them by gods or those who have encountered those that come before and after life.” I interrupted.

"Who are you? Are you another Architect?" "I am the 'Trash-Collector' of the Multiverse," the Merchant said, offering a slight, ironic bow.
