You're really lucky that the robber just take your things not your life. Are you really from Brussel?" asked Captain while shook his head. "Yes I know now but that too late. I have store that using my name at Brussel and I selling medicine. The location of my store and my house are beside the market and small restaurant. Usually I go with other merchants but in the morning I had to go buy the inventory immediately so I go by myself. That's really careless of me and I think I been followed from the beginning.
