"Okay..." Erik said as he opened the door open with a creak, He struggled to get inside with the large bag but managed to squeeze it in eventually after struggling for a few seconds.
"That bag must weigh like 50 kilos, That kid carried it almost effortlessly..." The shopkeeper said as he looked at the kid in shock, what he had anticipated before was true, the entire bag was full of fish
After entering through the door, Erik Saw a large amount of fish in the room, the entire darn place smelled like fish.
The fish were skinned and hung, fish were carefully cut up into sections and sorted nicely into bags, there were some large fishes that Erik had never seen in his entire life and some fishes were unique and very one piece-like.
"Hello, young sir, Nice to meet you, You can call me Sizu. A man said as he entered through the door and offered a hand to Erik.
"Hello, I am William Erik." Erik introduced himself, It was better to hide his middle name for now, it could cause him a lot of trouble.
"So William, are you here to sell fish?" Sizu introduced himself, Erik nodded in agreement.
"I have brought dried up fresh water fish, It's about 30 Kilo's." Erik said as he put the fish bag down, the bag landed on the ground with a thump, it looked lighter than it seemed to be. Sizu tried lifting up the bag with one hand but could only grunt as he struggled to do so, he lifted the bag with both his hands and was able to lift it with difficulty.
"H-How can you lift this?" The man asked Erik, Erik shrugged.
"It is easier once you put it on your shoulder." Erik said as the man gave up on lifting the bag, He opened the bag with ease using a knife to cut through the ropes binding it.
He took a fish and used his hand to take a small chunk of the flesh of the fish. He smelled the fish before putting it in his mouth. Eating salted and dried up fish wasn't a problem.
"It is Fresh water trout!!" The man Exclaimed in surprise. If what the kid said was true then there were hundreds of such fishes here, catching even one of these fish was a hassle not to mention salting and drying these fishes.
"So, How much do these cost?" Erik asked the older man who was in shock.
"Ern... The rate is a thousand Beri for a kilo..." Sizu said, Erik had an angry aura surrounding him after Sizu said so.
"Please don't take me as a Child, You think I would be so easily fooled?" Erik said with a deadly aura surrounding him.
"Sorry!.. I won't fool you again, The R-Rate is Ten thousand beri per Kilo." Sizu said With his hands In front of him protectively, this kid was different, someone not to mess with. (1 USD= 10 Beri. Fresh water fish are very rare in this world so it has such a high price.)
"Then Weigh it." Erik commanded, He knew Sizu was trying to scam him from the start by looking nice. From that moment Erik Knew he shouldn't act like a nice guy in front of this dude.
"O-Okay..." Sizu said as he brought a large scale, it was a standard weighing scale with an analog meter.
"Please attach the bag here." Siu said as he showed him a hook to attach the bag to. To test the weight, the entire thing should be lifted up but Sizu wasn't able to lift it.
"You cannot lift it, Give it to me." Erik said as he held the scale, The boy climbed the chair to be able to hold it so that the bag doesn't touch the ground.
"Thirty five Kilo's." Erik said as he looked at the analog scale.
"I will bring the money." Sizu said as he ran into another room, he came out with a fat stack of cash and handed it over to Erik.
"Is it exactly thirty five hundred thousand beri?" Erik asked the man.
"I wouldn't dare scam you." Sizu said as Erik counted the money, it was exactly Three hundred thousand beri.
"Thanks, See ya..." Erik said as he exited out of the door. Sizu sighed Iin relief once Erik left the Store.

Erik wandered through the streets of The town as he looked at every shop with great detail, They might come in handy for him in the future.
He was looking for a clothings store, his clothes were clean but old and torn. After some time he found a clothing store and decided to buy a few shirts, shorts and pants.
After changing his clothes to the newly bought ones, he threw the old ones in the trash.
"This looks better than the old ones." Erik started the obvious, clothed in a white shirt and black pants.
After Looking at himself in the mirror he thanked the shop owner before walking through the streets again, The shop he was looking for was not in the main market area.
He wandered through the streets for what looked like hours as he finally stumbled upon what he was looking for in an alley.
"Never thought I'd find a weapons store inside of an alley way." He said to himself as he entered a dimly lit shop, Upon entering, he saw different weapons arranged in the walls, an assortment of different weapons and guns were lined up in the walls.
A man was sleeping in the counter, Heavily snoring. Erik didn't know what to do in this situation.
"Umm, excuse me?" He asked, The man jolted up in in an instant and stared at Erik in a comical fashion as Erid didn't know what do do but smile nervously.
"A kid?" The man questioned, He looked at the boy with intrigue as he approached the nervously smiling boy.
"I am sure I sensed the aura of a predator, But a kid?" He went close to the boy and sniffed him, The smell of the forest, the smell of blood and the smell of a predator.
"Who are you?.. You are just a child in appearance but I can sense something within you..." The man continued inspecting the boy while the boy was laughing nervously from the strange behaviour of the man.
'What have I gotten myself into?'
