Chapter 46

It was completely silent.

Seol didn't know who the people beyond the fog were, but they must have known each other.

They would know that Janet was here, present with them, and even which one of them Janet was.

And then the merchant who showed Seol the items said this...

"See, what did I tell you? In the end, it'll only hurt your self-esteem."

The other merchants flinched as if there was a situation that Seol wasn't aware of.

"You played a trick on us, Janet."

"Trick? Haha, you really don't know how to keep your mouth shut, do you, you old wrinkled fart?"

"What?"

"Did you really think you'd be able to seduce my customer with trash like that?! What a waste of time! A great merchant like me is already struggling with the guilt of wasting my customer's time."

"Th-this fucking... How did he know it was Janet?"

The silhouette, who was confirmed to be Janet now, then said something to the lamenting merchants.

"It's because you guys are here to sell items and I'm here to let them buy the items. Do you really not know the difference?"

"What's the difference?" answered one of the silhouettes.

Seol knew what the difference was.

He felt the difference strongly the moment Janet showed him those two items.

'The difference was whether the item they were trying to sell was something that I needed or not.'

The other merchants all tried to sell Seol expensive items almost like they were trying to get his Madness. Janet, however, offered Seol the items he needed the most at this moment.

And that was why Janet had an equal standing to Seol in the transaction, not below him like the other merchants were.

Janet then shouted at the other merchants in a booming voice, threatening them.

"If you don't know, then fuck off! You damned third-rates."

"...We'll see you when you get back, Janet."

"Of course, as much as you want. I'll see you guys later though. I have an important trade to make after all."

"Krgh..."

"That might be the case but you do know that it's dangerous if you only trade that much, you know..."

"That's not for you to worry about. Go already!"

The other merchants left one after another through a large hole.

Slowly, the fog started to lift. Though, just because it had lifted didn't mean the area was any brighter.

A bloody hue and a demon mask.

The things that symbolized Janet filled the surrounding area once again.

"Phew, I would've been sad if you didn't recognize me."

"I realized who you were the moment I saw the items."

"I knew it! You really do have a good eye..."

Seol checked the items that Janet brought forth earlier.
