From MC's Perspective:
The following day,
I got ready and left for the job. But shortly after, I noticed that I had a lot of people staring at me with malice. I glanced to the side and saw that there were people staring at me from inside the shop.
I muttered to myself, "Obviously, in broad daylight, they can not do anything to me."
It doesn't matter how much they hate me. They are going to hold off until dusk.
Ignoring their gazes, I continued walking. There are people going about their everyday business. But most of them are poor and weak in health. It is the outcome of those families' ongoing exploitation.
I reached the administrative building shortly after.
The staff recognized me and he greeted me inside.
"Here, my name is Seth. Now, you are one of our colleagues," Following his statement, he handed over the ID and work permit.
"Thank you Seth," I replied.
"Okay, I will take you to the storage building right now. Where all the unknown magic items were sorted for sales," Seth.
He takes me to the magnificent building whose main door was closed for outsiders. Now, I have become an employee. I can enter this building.
We didn't enter through the main door. But through a back door. After walking in, I noticed there were people on duty.
"Why was the Shop was closed?" I asked.
Seth wasn't surprised.
He replied,"Usually, this wasn't the case. But recently the businesses have been bad. During Peak Time, we received guests from other cities."
"Some high level Wizards stuff are directly sold here. You can't find those items in other cities. Although, the Purple Chamber of Commerce here is just a branch."
"But for the Lawless country people, the Purple City's Branch is considered as the Main Branch in their eyes," He added.
Meanwhile, I am silently listening to him.
Now, I understand why they needed an Artifact Identifier urgently. It will relieve some of the pressure for them. Some good artifacts can be sold to the Peak Level Wizards.
If that occurs, it will undoubtedly be a significant business.
Soon, we arrived at the basement room. The room was well illuminated and it's quite wide. There are all kinds of stuff piled up on the roof.
A quick gleam flashes in my eyes.
"What's up with these broken items?"
"Is there any value to it?" I asked.
Seth said calmly,"It might seem like garbage stuff. But actually the origins of these broken items are mysterious places, ruins and Ancient BattleField."
"From time to time, we find something useful to Magic Artifact Refiners and Wizards who awaken weird magic."
"You know that children can awaken all kinds of magic in our world. But not all of them match mental methods and resources."
"Most of our Purple Chamber of Commerce's customers are rare magic users. They can only find some answers from ancient stuff. If it has to do with their magic, even the ancient broken pieces are helpful to them," smiled Seth.
Time passed in the blink of an eye,
In the evening, I left work. I have identified some miscellaneous items. They are not worth much. But considering it's my first day of work. It was enough to leave them with a good expression.
On my way back, unsurprisingly, there were a lot of stalkers. Apart from the thugs, there are people dressed in nice clothes. They seemed to show hostile intentions as well.
When I arrived at the inn, I was stopped by 2 middle aged men dressed in nice suits.
Seeing their actions my eyes turned cold.
"Ethan Brown, can you come with us?"
"Our elder wants to meet you," One of them said.
"No," I said in response before entering the inn.
Both of their faces turned ugly. They are surrounded by spectators. So they can't take any action right now.
Once inside my room, I made my way to the window to observe what was happening outside.
These people are not hiding their intentions at all.
"Is nobody aware of the wrongdoings within the Purple Chamber of Commerce?" I asked in my heart.
The face of Cory Anderson comes to mind. She seems to be genuine. If she wants she can control the situation. But If I kill them, then I'll be cornered soon.
"What should I do?" I muttered to myself.
The onlookers and thugs left after sometime. But I'm not sure about the identity of those 2 Middle aged men. Clearly they are sent by a family.
Did they come from the same hotel family? A question appeared in my mind.
Time passed,
Vince and his group have surrounded the run-down inn in the middle of the night. Then Vince directly entered the inn. He was not stopped by the inn owner.
But the inn owner felt sorry for the foreigner.
Creak!
Vince quickly began to check the room one by one.
Shortly after,
He came back downstairs and confronted the inn owner. Because the foreigner was not inside the room.
"Where is he?" He asked.
The owner of the inn retorted, "He did not leave the inn after coming from work."
Vince frowned. He knows that the inn owner was not lying. His men are positioned outside this inn, keeping watch.
They would have known if the foreigner had left.
"What's going on?" Vince asked himself.
He is aware that the Hawk Family men came before them. He believes that they are to blame.
