Chapter 26

After mulling over his next words carefully, Hyun finally opened his mouth to speak. His voice was pleasant, sounding not too low, nor too high. 

"I apologize if this request of mine is such a big inconvenience to you, Mr. Choi. To be honest, when I first came here and asked you to satisfy this selfish request of mine, I didn't think of what it would entail, so I simply went ahead and said it. Before, I heard from Mr. Jun that you have a large collection of goods that cannot be found anywhere else in the area, and I decided to try my luck at your merchant's house. But since it's impossible for me to choose something without first seeing the merchandise…"

Hyun's voice gradually dropped, leaving the rest of his sentence hanging. Nevertheless, the meaning behind his words was pretty obvious. 'Since I cannot see the goods, I won't be doing business with you.' Or at least that's how it sounded in Mr. Choi's ears.
