The Alpha: Claiming His Enemy's Daughter novel Chapter 92

Chapter 92: A PRESSING MATTER

The head merchant became anxious when he saw the alpha go to the third carriage, even more so when he said he was going to check all the carriages that he had prepared.

"This will not do, Alpha. Are you trying to say you don’t believe me?" The merchant complained, as if he was feeling wronged by the alpha.

However, his reluctance only set an alarm off in Cane’s mind. He looked at him icily and immediately knew there was something not right here.

Or else, he wouldn’t overreact like this.

Ignoring his complaint, Cane moved to the third carriage. At first, he couldn’t find anything wrong with it, the fourth, or the fifth and so on... there was nothing out of the ordinary, even until the last carriage.

But, the instant change in the head merchant’s expression alerted him, especially when he sighed in relief softly while Cane couldn’t pinpoint the source of his nervousness.

As a shifter, their hearing ability was way more incredible than any ordinary human.

"See? There is nothing wrong with it, right?" The head merchant lifted his head with a smug smile plastered on the corners of his lips. "I take offense to this. This is not what I expected from you, alpha, but I will let it slide today. After all, this is our first trade and I wish we will have more exchanges in the future."

Ethan sneered to hear such words. They were literally robbing them and now he had the audacity to smile in their faces, while talking as if he was so benevolent to let this matter slide. Wasn’t it the correct norm to check on the things that you wanted to purchase?

"Now, can I have the fifty magic stones? I need to go somewhere else, so I will not stay for long." He looked at Cane with a cheerful smile, while rubbing his hands together. The sky was so bright and the light glinted in his eyes.

Cane didn’t say anything, nor did he order his men to give the stones to the merchant. Instead, he looked at Ethan and spoke lightly.

"Open this carriage, I want to see the items inside."

"What?!" The head merchant shrieked, his eyes widened in fear, which only confirmed Cane’s suspicion. "You can’t do this, Alpha!"

"Why not? Technically speaking, this will be ours, thus it is only right for us to check the items, after all, we got this deal at ’a good price’." Jace emphasized the words ’good price’, so he would know that they were still holding a grudge against it.

"No! This does not include our deal!"

Alarmed by the head merchant’s scream, all of the mercenaries stepped forward to stop Ethan and all the warriors. Though they outnumbered the shifters by an alarming margin, there was no way they could fight them off. They were only paid for escorting the head merchant, in case of a monster attack, but fighting off a bunch of well trained warrior shifters was a different matter altogether. They were not even a match for them.

Therefore, Ethan easily walked past them and tore open the carriage that Cane had pointed at.

Immediately, grains spilled from inside, at first it was good grade grains, but soon after the grains that spilled out of the sack turned dark and they could even see the rice bugs. There were so many it gave Ethan a chill. He hated bugs with passion.

"Sixteen more?" Cane directed his sharp gaze at the merchant, who unconsciously took two steps back. He was so afraid to see the calmness in the alpha’s eyes. _{freewebnovel.cσ๓}
