Chapter 61
"Hey old man, can't you lower the price a bit?" the man asked with a smug, irritating smile.
The vendor, an elderly man already red in the face, looked seconds away from erupting in fury. The watch had originally been priced at 1,000 yen. After a long bout of haggling, it was reduced to 700 yen—but that wasn't enough for the grinning man.
"How about 300 yen?" he asked, clearly pushing his luck.
That was the final straw. The old man slammed his fist on the counter, ready to leap across it and throttle the cheapskate. But before anything could happen, the man let out a chuckle and walked out of the shop, satisfied that he had riled the vendor up. He had never intended to buy anything.
As he exited, his smug grin still plastered across his face, he muttered, "You think someone your age can catch me? What a joke."
But then he froze.
And collapsed.
