Iris pushed a cup of pitch-black liquid in front of Karina.
"Guest, your drink," she said.
Although it was made from the same materials, her technique was too unrestrained and her use of ingredients too liberal, resulting in a completely different 'Gentleman's Exchange.'
Lin Ge shook his head as he watched, but to his surprise, Karina actually picked up the glass and took a sip.
"Ugh, so bitter…" Her face showed an expression of either pain or pleasure as she drank the entire cup; Lanya at her side was stunned.
Maise glanced at Karina and silently averted her gaze.
"With skills like yours, why is this place so empty?"
Had the tavern been hidden in some difficult-to-find alleyway, it would have been understandable, but it was clearly on the bustling Uradaha Main Street. If even one person tasted Lin Ge's drinks, the tavern's fame would have spread, and it should have been overflowing with patrons.
