Kelvin behaved like a vain woman who just spotted branded purses and clothes. "Brent, look at this! It'll be so cool
to use this in close combat.
"Brent, buy these for me. I also want this one and that one."
Brent fell silent.
Ethan took a small handgun meant for women.
The merchant enthusiastically introduced, "You have a good eye. This is the latest model. It has low recoil, so it's
especially suited for women."
"I'll take it. And this too." Ethan eyed a compact portable dagger. It would hide very well.
After picking out some weapons, he went to the herb area.
There were quite a lot of people in the area. They even looked like they were peddling goods at a market.
Many drugs were prohibited in the country. But laws didn't exist here, only money and greed. If they had enough
money, they could have all their desires fulfilled.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThere were no auctions tonight, so Ethan could only browse the various counters.
"What do you fancy, sir? I have quite the variety here," someone called out to him enthusiastically.
Because of the lack of regulations, the selling price of items on the ship was multiple times more expensive than on
land regardless of rarity.
The customers were rich, so they wouldn't bother too much about it.
Ethan fiddled with a medicine bottle. Before he could ask about it, the merchant scooted over with a mysterious
look. "Good choice, sir. This is our most popular item.
"You'll be full of vigor for the whole night. Even the toughest woman will give in once she has experienced it. Can
you imagine ..."
Ethan had no idea that he was holding a drug like that. He hastily put it back and coughed lightly. "Do you have any
anticancer drugs?"
"Of course! How can I not? Do you know what they call me?"
Ethan studied the middle-aged man in front of him. The man seemed to be in his forties, and there weren't many
wrinkles on his face.
He looked like a guy who smiled often, but when he smiled, he had a certain cunning air to him.
"No," Ethan said.
"Sir, they call me the Reviver." "Oh, I know this one." Kelvin appeared out of nowhere. "Yo, yo, what's up! Check it
out, the cream of the crop! Get it while it's hot, and I'll even throw in a discount, chop chop!"
Kelvin started rapping all of a sudden. Feeling a little exasperated, Ethan shoved him to the side. Then, he
continued, "I've never heard of it. What drugs do you have here?"
"You came to the right person, sir. I'm the miraculous doctor who can even revive the dead. I can cure any disease,
and cancer is a walk in the park for me!"
Kelvin whispered in Ethan's ear, "Boss, all swindlers say the same thing."
"Swindlers? Who told you I'm one of them? I researched malignant tumors for years. Coupled with some traditional
scrolls left by my ancestors, along with an original recipe, I can prolong a person's life even if the Grim Reaper is
after them."
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmIf he hadn't said those things, Ethan might have believed him. But now that he had said such outrageous claims,
Ethan immediately turned around and left.
No one would dare to claim that they could cure a malignant tumor completely.
"Sir, don't leave so soon. I mean it! If I weren't poor, I wouldn't have come to a place like this. If you don't believe
me, you can try some of my other drugs.
"I guarantee you'll want to use them again after the first try."
Kelvin retorted, "Why would a perfectly healthy person take drugs? Are you trying to jinx my boss?"
"Who said that your boss is perfectly healthy? The fire in his body is burning wild! He should vent properly."
Ethan's ears turned red as he quickened his pace.
Kelvin caught up to him. "Ahem, um, did that quack hit the bullseye? Boss, have you never dealt with it yourself
while Mrs. Miller was gone?"
Ethan paused in his tracks. Then, he glared coldly at Kelvin. "Shut up."
Kelvin stood where he was, stunned.
He couldn't believe it. Did Ethan abstain in all those years ever since Olivia left?
