"Just now, Hodgson's apprentice from the Magnolia Magic Artifact Shop came over, saying he was looking for you to discuss a business deal."
"Hodgson?" Carl shook his head, "Next time he comes, just tell him I'm not in, and as for the business, I'm not interested either."
"Yes."
Babalara agreed, his belly protruding, as he bid his farewell and left.
"Business?"
Carl glanced outside, shaking his head lightly, "Forget it!"
He had heard from others in the Swamp Alliance about Hodgson's desire to expand his business. Thanks to the beast tide, the Magic Artifact Shop's business was booming. In just half a year, Hodgson had earned back his initial investment and made a substantial profit. Now he planned to take over the adjoining shop as well, expanding his business, for which he needed tens of thousands of Magic Stones.
Tens of thousands?
