"You... you're talking nonsense! Slandering me out of thin air!"
The shopkeeper felt like he has been attacked relentlessly, getting pecked in the eyes by swarms of geese he worked tirelessly to feed, his mind was in turmoil. Even though he was cunning and manipulative in his everyday dealings, he was at a loss for words that could effectively refute Michael's claims.
Indeed, what Michael said made him feel as if he was seeing ghosts in broad daylight.
If Michael had only discovered that there was something wrong with the wine, the shopkeeper had his own set of argument to handle such situations.
Yet, Michael directly explicated not only the medicinal nature of the wine but also the source of its fragrance with extreme precision, not a single mistake!
Uninformed people might even believe that Michael had a hand in brewing this wine!
Onlookers outside the room, seeing this scene, started changing the direction of their chatter.
"Could it be, this wine actually has problems?"
