Five minutes later, the two of them arrived at Ambrose’s market. This market was an open-air venue surrounded by fences which was pretty crude but at that moment, it was already filled with people. There were lone travelers who looked sneaky, couples, friends, and even some rich businessmen with big bellies who were surrounded by glamorous women and several muscular bodyguards.

“Other than buyers and sellers, most of them here are tourists,” Crystal explained. Hearing this, Matthew asked in surprise, “There are tourists here?”

Crystal nodded. “Of course there are. As I mentioned earlier, after Ambrose established rules for this place, many people come here to bet on dog races and boxing matches. Nowadays, the rich like excitement. With these competitions going on, the market naturally attracts many tourists. Otherwise, how are the people here going to make money?”

Along the way, Matthew saw many good items and he made a mental note of those stalls, planning to buy those items once the market opened the next day. On their way back to the hotel, they passed by a group of people when one of the girls let out a cry. Turning around, she asked in amusement, “Matthew?”
