"Speak then—what exactly is your purpose?"
Standing before the group, Li Chen's expression was utterly calm. But those who knew him well understood that the calmer his face appeared, the more impatient he truly was.
He was genuinely perplexed.
Why would these people block his path? He didn't seem to have any enmity with them, did he?
In fact, this marketplace was a place he was visiting for the first time. So why were the people of the marketplace targeting him?
Could it be because of the Barrier-Breaking Pill?
But as far as he knew, while the Barrier-Breaking Pill was considered valuable to many, it wasn't exactly rare or precious to the Market Owner, that legendary Earth-level Expert.
Moreover, since he had offered up the Barrier-Breaking Pill, would the Market Owner really jeopardize their own reputation over something so trivial?
Even Li Chen found that hard to believe.
