"Tell me, Zero."
"What is it that you want?"
On the side, Leo seems to also want to say something but he was acting hesitant.
But after a few inner struggles, in the end, he still looked at Alex and said, "Zero, if you're planning to sell this potion, please do consider selling it to me."
Elisa glanced at Leo but didn't say anything.
She knows it, such an item like [Strength Potion] is really rare and hard to find.
Now, seeing one in front of them, no one will let it just pass by.
So Elisa silently acquiesces to Leo's action.
Alex raised his fist to signal them to be quiet and the two obediently stopped talking.
Satisfied, Alex nodded and said, "You two don't have to fight over this potion."
"Because I have more of that inside my inventory."
With a thought, a few more glass vials containing [Strength Potion] appeared on the table.
"What?!"
This turn of events surprised both Elisa and Leo greatly!
Such an amazing item, and there's a lot of them!
Shocked, Elisa asked, "For you to have this much of this item, Zero, just where did you get all these?"
Alex smiled and said, "Didn't I already tell you? All of this was dropped by the monster I killed inside the Trial Tower."
Elisa doesn't know whether to believe Alex's words.
It's because such a thing sounds so impossible!
On the other, Leo immediately smiled happily after seeing that there's a lot of [Strength Potion].
"This is great!"
"Now we don't have to compete for this potion anymore!"
Leo felt genuinely happy.
Elisa and him both have had great friendship since they were young.
That's why his actions earlier caused some guilty feelings to sprout in him.
Leo doesn't want to compete with Elisa.
But because of how great the effects brought by the [Strength Potion], Leo can help but fight over it.
Additionally, there's actually a deeper reason as to why Leo wants this potion so bad.
And that is because of his sick mother.
An unknown disease is consuming his mother's strength.
Slowly but surely, her health is declining as well as her strength and constitution stats.
Now, Leo wants to take one for his mother to consume.
He wants to know whether it will help or not.
That is also one of the reasons why Elisa didn't get mad at him.
She understood his situation and if she's in the same situation, she will probably do the same thing.
…
Alex looked at the two people in front of him, staring so intently at the potions that he brought out.
With a smile, he said, "The reason why I wanted to talk with you is actually simple, Miss Elisa."
"I just want to sell this potion to you."
"Really? Then, for how much are you planning to sell it for?"
When she asked, Elisa couldn't help but be a little nervous for some reason.
At this time, Alex didn't immediately quote a price.
Instead, he said, "Since we got to know each other today, I'll sell one [Strength Potion] to the both of you for only 10 gold coins."
The two were once again surprised and said, "10 gold coins? That is so cheap!"
"This kind of item that can permanently increase your stats, it's not a problem even if you sell it for hundreds of golds!"
To their words, Alex didn't respond.
Instead, he showed a smile and handed them one [Strength Potion] each.
"Here, you guys can use it confidently to see its effects."
The two didn't refuse.
The only thing they want right now is to get the potion.
They readily handed Alex 10 gold coins each before taking the potions from him.
Looking at the potions in their hands, Elisa didn't hesitate and immediately drank the potion.
Gulp!
For a moment, Elisa felt liquid turn into warm energy that circulated throughout her body.
And in that short period of time, Elisa felt her strength gradually improve!
Hurriedly, she opened her attributes panel and an ecstatic look appeared on her face.
"It really increased my strength by 10 points!"
She turned to look at Alex and can't help but consider him as her lucky encounter.
On the other hand, Leo didn't consume the potion but carefully put it on his inventory.
He plans to bring it to her mother later.
Alex observed them for a bit before smiling and said, "Now that you two have successfully bought some [Strength Potion], it's about time for me to leave."
Alex stood up and planned to go out.
But Elisa hurriedly stopped him.
"Zero, wait!"
Alex raised an eyebrow and asked, "Hmm? Is there something else?"
"That… if I want to buy another [Strength Potion], where can I find you?"
Hearing that, a thoughtful look appeared on Alex's face.
In his head, he thought, 'Hmm, that's right, where can they contact me…'
Suddenly, Alex thought about dungeons and got a good idea.
He looked at Elisa and said, "I will visit you again about 2 to 3 days later from now."
"Then I will tell you where you can find me whenever you want something."
After saying that, he really stood up this time and started walking out of Elisa's garden.
"Anyway, I really need to go now."
"See you two again next time."
| сom The two said goodbye to Alex and at the same time, Elisa asked a maid to lead Alex out of the manor.
Now, only Elisa and Leo are left in the garden.
The atmosphere was a bit wrong for a moment between the two of them because of what Leo did just earlier.
In the end, Leo sighed and apologized.
"Uhm, Elisa… I'm sorry about earlier. That item seems really useful to me so I can't help it."
Elisa was silent for a while before shaking her head.
"No, I understand it, don't worry."
She paused and asked, "That [Strength Potion], are you planning to give it to auntie?"
Leo nodded, "Yes, I hope this can counter her disease."
Leo clenched his fist while feeling hopeful in his heart.
