Brothers' Collection shop,
"Kid, I know your real identity. If you want to speak about something else, you can tell me," Martin said bluntly.
Hearing that, I sighed inwardly. The big stone pressing on my heart was gone since the old man broke the ice first. I could speak to him freely.
"Since you know my identity, it's good then. I have something to discuss with you, Elder Martin," I said.
"Elder?" Martin was taken aback.
"Ha... Ha... Ha....," The next second, he let out a laugh.
"Elder, kid, you are good. But I'm not part of any magic towers. Otherwise, why would I have my shop opened here to run this bookstore?" Martin said with a smile.
"Since you wanted to discuss this, give me a second. I'll ask the others to leave." After saying that, the old man left.
He is going to convince the customers to leave. Seeing that, I was stunned. I didn't expect he was willing to do that.
