Hex didn't know why the Oldest Store had a rule that forced people to visit the store three different times. And you couldn't just exit and enter right after that.
He had to spend an entire day walking around and visiting the store before he managed to fulfill the quota of having visited it three times. Of course, the three visits weren't without results.
Once Trid regained consciousness, his father was more than happy to pay all his dues. Not only did he pay the 'spy' the one million coins, he also gave Hex a million. According to him, the one million would help him become a member – it wasn't hard for him to know that Hex was aiming for that with his requirement of three visits – and leave him some to buy a few more stuff.
The two million pained him, that much was clear from the creases in his forehead, but he seemed to place the worth of his son above the money.
