As Zachary reminisced, his thoughts swirled within “Back when I got swindled on Antique Street, none of you looked down on me. Who was the one constantly shouting and gossiping about Zachary? But now, with Don Albert, you suddenly call me Brother.”
Amused by these memories, Zachary smirked and addressed the crowd, “To be honest, I’m no longer associated with Don Albert.”
“What?” They had just cheerfully called him brother.
One man quickly inquired, “Zachary, you were doing well with Don Albert. Why the sudden change of heart?”
“That’s right,” chimed another man. “I’m talking about Zachary. Isn’t it better for you to enjoy spicy food and drinks with Don Albert instead of dealing with these things in Antique Street?”
A woman selling counterfeit copper coins grinned and asked, “Zachary, did you mess up and get kicked out by Don Albert?”
Zachary waved his hand nonchalantly. “Don’t mention those things. I’m planning to come back and set up my stall again.” Then, he gazed at the man who had greeted him earlier and said, “Ladden Harrow, when I left, I let you use my old stall for free. Look, I’ve returned now and you’re still occupying my spot. Give it back to me.”
Ladden Harrow hastily waved his hand and replied, “Hey, don’t say that, Zachary. When you left, you made a promise not to return to Antique Street. So, that stall was relinquished forever. I took it over. You’re a person of great influence. You can’t go back on your word.”
