His eyes flashed through Emmanuel, and then his eyes immediately started scanning him from head to toe. Emmanuel was currently on an average level good fashioned cloth, but then the cloth due to its oldness had already began to fade a bit. His skin were really fair, and so even though he had muscles, his pale looking brown skin made him look like a child from a rich home. The trader dressed like a thug could already tell from this little details that Emmanuel was from an average family who could still feed up to three square meal a day. And another factor that confirmed the traders deductions was Emmanuel slippers which was also a Gucci slippers, but it was also old.
A wide an evil grin formed on the thug's face. He felt he had hit the jackpot. Emmanuel was exactly the type of target he was looking for. Someone not to rich , but then also not poor. This meant that the person did have the money to pay but then wouldn't have a lot of influence to take revenge on him. He immediately began to run towards Emmanuel why still yelling " Buy your wrist watch, buy your wrist watch ". He had clearly already formulated a plan in his head.
Emmanuel who still had his head up high facing straight forward not wanting to see any unnecessary item that might be able to move him to purchase. All of a sudden, he noticed a man running towards him. From the appearance of the man, he could already tell he was a thug who was here to hawk for his daily bread. Looking at the speed he was running towards him with, Emmanuel didn't really like it as he felt any accident could happen. He raised his hands to signify to the young man that he was not interested in buying. But then the next thing that happened immediately made Emmanuel have suspicions that something might actually be wrong. The young man refused to stop, instead he actually increased his speed. Emmanuel could already tell that trouble had come knocking.
Once the young man got closer to Emmanuel, he suddenly tripped. The trip looked so fatal that Emmanuel in his state of shock involuntarily stretched out his hands to help the young man and prevent him from falling to the ground, but then.
' That's not right, what tripped him ' Emmanuel thought. He looked at where he fell from and didn't see any possible object that could cause such a fatal trip. Seeing this, Emmanuel Immediately withdrew his hands and stepped aside.
A look of shock was immediately displayed on the face of the young man as he never expected that Emmanuel would be so cruel to actually let him fall to the ground. His idea was simple, he would fall and then Emmanuel would get hold of him trying to prevent him from falling to the ground. He could then stylishly let go of one of his slightly expensive wrist watch to fall to the ground and probably acquire a few scratches, but then he could put all the blames on Emmanuel and claim that he was the reason he fell was also due to Emmanuel.
Alas, the Emmanuel in question hadn't only retrieved his hands, but he had also walked away from there. In no time, he had taken a detour and moved away from that area. He walked to a farther paced and then stops to look back. He wanted to see whether he was right about the young man.
The thug was still in shock as he fell flat towards the ground. His watches which were on his hand had already fallen to the ground, and so he fell right on top of them, completely destroying a few with his weight, why the rest that weren't destroyed were badly damaged. The shock had yet to leave his face as he was still trying to reminisce the event that just occurred. ' How did he know ' He thought. He couldn't believe that his well thought out plan was not only a failure but had resulted in the destruction of a few of his wrist watches and then badly damaged the rest.
' No, it can't be, I can't accept this ' He muttered as he immediately sat up and then looked up hoping to see Emmanuel. He just remembered that he saw Emmanuel stretch out his hands at that moment and then withdrew it. He had created a new plan to blame Emmanuel for not catching when he fell. He suddenly felt that it was an even better plan. ' Humph, playing smart, now you would have to pay for all the watches, I would definitely suck you dry today ' He thought inwardly as he raised his head to the place Emmanuel was. But as soon as his head was raised, panic immediately struck his heart. He has noticed that Emmanuel was already gone. He looked around continuously but couldn't find him. He even started running from places to places, but then he couldn't find him.
Alas, when running, he forgot two things. He forgot about his watches and then the market he was in. In no much seconds greater than a minute that he left and then came back, all his watches had disappeared. They had been stolen.
