"Do you two know each other?"
The innkeeper held back for a long time and finally managed to say something.
He felt the atmosphere was a bit tense and needed easing.
"We do."
Ethan replied ambiguously, "Back when I was running a shop in Fireplace Bay, Miss Xiangwei helped me a lot."
Hearing this, the innkeeper finally breathed a sigh of relief.
So they knew each other from running a business. Seeing their confrontational demeanor, he almost thought Ethan had run up a huge debt with the Lofic Consortium, hiding in the abyss only to be found by them again. Such things weren't uncommon in the dungeon. He had heard many rumors about this crafty woman and her...
chilling methods with debtors.
What she excelled at most was luring ordinary people step by step towards downfall until they were so deep in debt they could never repay it.
