At that thought, Velen casually put away all the precious items he had just laid out and turned to Karos with a solemn expression. "Brother Karos, I see how deeply you care about this rabbit pet of yours. As the saying goes, a gentleman does not covet what others treasure. I've decided not to buy it after all."
"Huh?"
Both Karos and the powerful soul residing within the rabbit were dumbfounded on the spot.
They had already prepared themselves for a tearful farewell. They had steeled their hearts for sacrifice. They had come to terms with the idea of handing over their dearest possession… and now this guy said he wasn't buying it?
After displaying all those dazzling treasures, making their hearts itch with desire, stirring up emotions of both greed and awe—he now just walked away?
Was this a prank? A joke? A calculated tease?
Were you ever serious about buying it, or were you just showing off your obscene wealth the entire time?
