Scam Encounter?

Lucas paused mid way, trying to understand what Spot was trying to convey to him.

Lucas tilted his head, in confusion.

Spot's bark was a warning.

Not to the old man, but to him.

'Spot doesn't want me to buy this item?'

Knowing that Spot would not do him harm, Lucas had always put his trust on him.

'Could this actually be… a scam?'

Retracting his hand, Lucas looked at the old man warily, but chose not to expose him.

He knew that even if he exposed this old man, it would do nothing except stop him from doing the scam for a few days.

For him to be able to set up a stall here without getting shooed away by other stall owners, meant that this old man has some background.

Lucas did not want to entangle himself with such troubles.

Looking around, he finally realized why none of the people around decided to approach the old man's stall.
