In the privacy of the carriage, Lucian's mind raced, attempting to retrace the steps of his lost money. He took the opportunity to quickly ask Selena to show him where the money went. Within the realm of images, he witnessed the notes fluttering to the ground on an unfamiliar street. He felt a wave of regret wash over him.
I need to invest in a wallet, can't afford to be this careless with my earnings. I'm practically broke...
The imagery fractured, leaving Lucian back in the real world, perched uncomfortably in the carriage box.
As he arrived at Whitebeard's Bar, he had just 1 valling and 6 valka notes left.
Lucian knocked on the door of Whitebeard's private room, greeted by a pale woman in vibrant attire. "He's occupied at the moment," she informed him.
From behind the door, Whitebeard's voice echoed, asking, "Who's there?"
"It's Lucian," he called out.
"Ah, young man, I'll be with you in ten minutes," Whitebeard replied.
