Chapter 203

She just took a few steps back to put some distance between herself and the old lady. “No, I need it.”

The old lady shoved a charm into Alaricka’s hand. “Take it, take it, it really works, girl, buy one. If it doesn’t work, you don’t have to pay.”

A protective charm was shoved into Alaricka’s hand, and she frowned right away: “I told you, I don’t—”

“Show me.”

Kieran’s deep voice suddenly came from right behind her, really close, like he was standing right up against her. His hand reached around from behind and took the protective charm the old lady had stuffed in her palm, holding it between his long index and middle fingers.

Alaricka’s brows instantly furrowed, and she stepped back from Kieran.

The old lady had already shifted her attention and latched onto Kieran, holding his arm and eagerly saying to him almost exactly what she had just said to Alaricka.

Kieran held the amulet in his hand like it was something serious, lowered his eyes, and looked at the amulet really carefully, like he was paying close attention. He also listened carefully to what the old lady said.

The old lady saw him like that and was already grinning: “Sir, this charm isn’t expensive, just three hundred dollars.”

Alaricka immediately raised her eyebrows, and there was a hint of interest in her eyes.

This old lady just told her it was only a hundred, but now it turned into three hundred?

There was a bit of a smile in her eyes.

Alaricka didn’t plan to remind Kieran of this fact, just wanted to watch Kieran get tricked by this old lady.

After hearing what the old lady said, Kieran just nodded and then handed the charm back without hesitation: “No, I’m not buying it.”

The old lady’s smile froze right away. She got anxious and pushed the charm back.

“You take it, you take it, sir, I told you, this amulet really works. If you don’t believe me, go ask around. Didn’t everyone who bought my amulet get better and leave the hospital? Nothing happened to them at all.”

Alaricka listened and couldn’t help laughing and shaking her head.

The old lady glared at her, not happy: “What are you laughing at? Everything I said was true.”

Alaricka immediately nodded seriously and said, “Okay, I believe you, this protective charm definitely worked.”

Her eyes were full of laughter as she looked at Kieran: “So, Mr. Argent, hurry up and buy it.”

Kieran glanced at her lightly, “Getting bolder and bolder.”

This familiar tone…

The smile on Alaricka’s face slowly faded, and she looked away.

Kieran still shoved the charm into the old lady’s hand: “I’m not buying it, you take it back.”

The old lady covered her hands and looked at Kieran warily: “I’m not taking it back, you already got it in your hands, the charm’s effect is already on you, it won’t work for anyone else, you have to buy it.”

Kieran said carelessly, “Then just throw it away.”

As he spoke, Kieran really made a move to throw the amulet away.

The old lady was shocked and snatched the amulet back from Kieran.

“What did you do? Give it back to me.”

Kieran’s hand was suddenly empty, and he pulled his hand back just in time.

Alaricka saw she couldn’t trick Kieran out of his money, so she pouted and silently looked away.

The old lady held the charm, patted it with concern, then looked up angrily at Kieran and glared: “You little boy, you look so nice, how can you act like this? If you don’t want to buy it, just don’t buy it, why throw it? Where are your manners?”

Alaricka just wanted to nod.

Yeah, yeah, that’s so right, keep yelling at him, keep yelling!

The old lady took a few angry breaths and went on, “I’m telling you, you missed out on something really good.”

“You bought this protection charm and could use it yourself or give it to someone else. As long as you bought it sincerely and gave it sincerely, the effect of this charm would double, and the person you gave it to would recover very quickly.”

“You two really had no idea what good stuff was, talking to you was a waste of time!”

Alaricka raised an eyebrow and looked down, letting out a short laugh.

Who knew, Kieran suddenly said, “Double the effect?”

The old lady’s eyes darted around, a sharp glint flashed: “Yeah, especially if you give it to the one you love most, the effect doubles, doubles, and doubles again. I’m sure in less than three days, that person will be cured.”

When he finished speaking, Kieran stayed silent for a long time.

Alaricka looked over with a suspicious look in her eyes.
