Theoretically speaking, revealing the true nature of the "miraculous herb" to Makary the way I just did was an extremely poor idea. It meant that I could no longer claim it to be something extremely precious. Revealing the truth also kind of forced the man to re-evaluate our cooperation so far…
Or so I was worried he would. But contrary to my expectations, upon hearing my words…
Makary only smiled.
"It doesn't matter what an item is worth," he spoke in a much lighter, even fainter voice than usual, as if echoing some sort of a profound thought. "It only matters what people are willing to pay for it."
Did he mean it in regards to the herb? In relation to how he paid a lot for it, given how he provided me with his own card and rented an expensive penthouse all for me?
Or maybe he was talking about the weapons he was trying to sell to me right now?
