The Alpha: Claiming His Enemy's Daughter novel Chapter 128

Chapter 128: SOMEONE IS WATCHING HER

After walking around for a bit, they finally came to the grain exchange district. Unlike the lively bustling scene in the other streets, it was very quiet here, only a few stores were open for business, but even those had a pitiful number of customers inside.

Even though some of these store owners were selling their own crops, the majority of the merchants here were middlemen in charge of the money. All they cared about was the cash, not the details of buying and selling.

"Now you know!" Redmond glared at Cane, who was walking beside him and then threw a glance at Iris, who was walking between Ethan and Will.

Redmond didn’t want to talk much about this black market, nor did he want to provide this knowledge to Cane, because he wanted to make things difficult for him, but all the alpha did was only tell Iris to tell him that he had to answer all of his questions.

And of course, Iris did as she was told and Redmond didn’t have any other option but to follow his master’s orders. He told Cane everything from his knowledge about this black market.

He felt that he was just being robbed!

"The delivery would be free and I will make sure that you will get the items before winter comes!" The merchant was sweet talking to Redmond, while Cane just watched from the sidelines. "Where is the young master? Is he not coming here?"

He was Zen, an old merchant whom Mason always visited whenever he needed to buy grains and dry meat for winter, therefore, he was familiar with Redmond. _{ƒrēewebnoѵёl.cσm}

"He is not here," Redmond mumbled, not paying this man any attention.

"Who is this? New warriors? And who is that girl?" The old merchant nodded at Iris. "Did you just buy her for sharing?"

Iris didn’t understand what he meant by that, but the other four men with her absolutely knew what he was talking about.

Will and Ethan shot him a dagger look, while Redmond was furious, as his face turned ashen.

However, Zen didn’t notice that and because this was not uncommon for Redmond to buy a girl when they came to the black market, so he assumed Iris was another chick that he bought to accompany him and would sell her again before they left this place.

"I know a place to buy a good girl. A virgin! You will like it! I am just telling you because you are a regular!" He said excitedly. "Give her to me when you are done, I will pay half of the price!"

But, no one shared his excitement and a moment of awkward silence descended. It was so disgusting to see a man thrice Iris’ age to look at her with lust swimming in his eyes.

Iris backed away and hid behind Ethan’ body.

They were familiar with such eyes, but Iris was mortified when she finally understood what he meant and missed what Cane said.

"You can’t afford her," his voice was so cold and detached. "The items are not good here, we will leave." Cane turned around and walked out of the store, followed by the others. He didn’t even spare the merchant another glance, nor did he stop when he told them to wait.
