Aric arrived at the Tongxing Cultivation Exchange, his sharp eyes scanning the bustling marketplace.
Aric knew that Tyler is luck magnet and he will attract many opportunities. But he won't let him get any.
He had already dispatched his men ahead of time, instructing them to track Tyler's movements. "If he tries to buy anything or shows interest in any item, swoop in and outbid him immediately," Aric had ordered. His network of spies had been watching Tyler for days, waiting for the perfect moment to sabotage his every move.
Aric's plan was simple but effective—deny Tyler at every turn, frustrate him, break his spirit, and in the process, steal any potential fortune meant for him. And so, Aric sauntered into the exchange grounds, his mood light, knowing the chaos that would soon unfold.
