It must've hit him hard enough that he thought things were actually in his favor and all he needed to do was slander, but Elaina was a few steps ahead of him, and he didn't even get to retaliate. Whether he felt the sense of defeat or just had no idea what to do next, he decided to back off and leave the office bearing the shame of what he was doing.
Mei and the others came to check on Elaina after the man left.
"Boss, did something happen? That man just now left like he was slapped multiple times in the face," Mei was a bit worried about what trouble that man left behind.
"No worries, everyone, I got it under control," Elaina said.
Octavia speaks up regarding the man, "Isn't that man the one who is making seeds and selling them by crate? I remembered him since I wanted to buy seeds from him when I saw his place, but he just denied me purchase because I was a dryad and he never sells in small batches and only accepts bulk orders."
