The Way
The following day, Viktor went to Berger's store in the South Ward first thing in the morning. Although he didn't expect much from Adam's abilities, he couldn't simply give up just because the latter was a young boy.
At this point, Viktor couldn't give in to any preconceived notions. That is why he was going to meet Berger right now. He would directly ask the old gnome if Adam had what it took to back what he had claimed last night.
If the gnome said yes, then he didn't mind allowing Adam to diagnose Elia. If not, then he'd continue to look for other solutions as he had for all these years.
The carriage stopped in front of Herbs & More, and Viktor stepped out of it. It was still the wee hours of the morning, and the store had only just opened. Viktor figured that there wouldn't be any people at the store yet.
