"First, buying and selling items adheres to the principle of first come, first served. I have priority in purchasing."
"Second, I was merely negotiating the price and never stated I wouldn't take it. The item is in my hands, and I was the first to offer Immortal Spirit Stones for it. Naturally, the item belongs to me."
Carson Flores turned around, his face calm as he stared at the pair. His tone was steady: "Is there a problem?"
The man and woman sized up the composed Carson Flores, their gazes carrying hints of skepticism; after all, his demeanor was overly measured.
The man clasped his hands in greeting: "I am Archie Cooke, and this is my junior sister Mia Malone, disciples of the Twin Dragon Sect. How should we address you?"
Carson Flores wasn't wearing the White Crane Immortal Sect's signature white robe. This wasn't intentional—he opted for the more protective Ink Silkworm Robe instead.
Safety first when traveling.
