Hearing what her young master said, Audrey was confused "But young master, are we not going to steal the other two warehouses."

"Audrey, if you have noticed tonight our plan has not been so perfect as we assumed, as they say, Life is full of unexpected twists and turns we cannot be too sure of anything and be prepared for the unexcepted, look at me for example, even I has underestimated old Walter be it his wealth, the number of stores he owned or the size of his warehouse. With our speed we can not finish the other two warehouses on time, hence we have no choice but to retire for tonight. anyway, I think things are going to be interesting."

"Why?" Audrey asked piqued by this conversation.

"You know who helped my mother to set up her business?" Alexander asked with a soft smile while leaving the warehouse and started to move towards the capital.

"Did someone help Miss Anna?" asked Audrey.

"Yes, apparently since you started with the business idea, he has been helping you with everything from merchandise to the local distributors, even the store we bought, that man was truly generous."

"Who?"

"who else but our very best friend, and the charitable soul that gave us a quarter of his fortune today, Walter Dunham," said Alexander.

" What !" Audrey who was following Alexander stopped in her steps and looked incredulous at Alexander.

"Why are you looking so surprised?" Alexander asked sleekly,

"That does not make sense, Why would he help us? We are his enemies!" (Audrey)

"That's why he helped us because we are his enemies" (Alexander)

"That does not make sense, who helps his enemy?" (Audrey)

"Well, he helps his enemies so they fall into his trap. "Hearing those words, Audrey did not understand what he meant by that, so she could only wait for Alexander to explain. Seeing her confusion Alexander began to explain: "Old Walter is a closed-minded and ruthless person who doesn't care about what he has to do to destroy someone and the best way to eliminate an enemy is to have him under your control, give everything to lower their guard, and then crush them."

After a pause he continued: "As an example take my mother, he helped her with everything to set up her store but unknown to her eventually, something unexpected would happen to her business, which leads to its demise, if I haven't guessed wrong, my mother store doomed to face some huge problems, it can range from robbery to vandalism."

"But what would he gain by doing that?"

"Easy, he thinks my mother spent all her savings on this business, he could have never imagined that we gathered the capital from selling the potions that his grandson has sent to the king and his mother, haha I wonder what his face would be if he ever finds out, That would be funny haha,"

Alexander was so immersed in his imagination that he even began to ramble. one could tell how he did not give much importance to the whole situation.

"Young master please don't stray away from the subject," Audrey saw Alexander swerve, got angry and started stomping on the ground.

Alexander was a bit embarrassed to hear that, "Sorry, Well where I was going, So when we spend all our savings we will have no choice but to depend on what little allowance the trash king provide us with. but as we know, after the queen's disappearance, the person with the most influence over the King is the third concubine, Therefore she will have a dominant position over us, Now do you understand?"

Audrey began to process everything she heard, then she realized that in this world not everyone fights only with fists, She thought it was a simple trap at first and not one this deep, that everything from the beginning was a trap laid by someone, This was a hard blow for her.

"Don't be disheartened, You're very young obviously you'll fall into those schemes, stop feeling sorry and learn from it." Alexander could only say a few words of encouragement and ended with a phrase "just remember If something is too good to be true, as much as possible it's not what it actually is. "

With that Alexander did not speak anymore as he continued his way to the capital, Audrey could only see the back of the young master as she followed behind him in silence thinking (Sometimes I forget that this child was really an old monster of thousands of years old.)

like this, the pair reached home quietly. Meanwhile in front of Anna's shop

Two middle-aged men were breathing heavily reclining in front of a door Pleading.

"Please just open up I promise to be good, I'll just steal, and will not touch the building"

"Do not be like that, If you open I promise to buy you a wood treatment"

"I'll give you a new coat of varnish"

"I'll buy you a gold lock. Please..."
