Milaine The Heir Girl
Forbidden Market

The black robe wrapped around Milaine's body to cover the beauty of his face. Amid heavy rain that did not stop flushing the land, Milaine was forced to climb a waterhole to go to the forbidden market. A market where many criminals roam as well as sellers of illegal goods.

Milaine's only goal is to find the main antidote for Nigel. Today Milaine left alone with no one present because he assigned his subordinates to guard Nigel from the enemy's surprise attack.

‘Bau once.’ Milaine closed her sense of smell when she had just stepped in front of the main gate of the forbidden market.

All sorts of foul scents mixed into one. On the left and right side of the market, there are various types of illegal goods. Starting from drugs, weapons, human organs, and the rarest herbs are here.

Milaine stopped in front of the herbal store. Long he stared at the front of the store to ensure the suitability of the information he obtained first.

‘Is this the place? I'm sure Grandpa Shin said this place sells shoots of ezeloid flowers.’

Milaine tried to get inside. His arrival was welcomed by the shop owner who was an old man.

“Is there anything I can help you with, Miss?” The old man's voice sounded trembling, perhaps this was due to the effects of age.

“I heard in this store selling rare herbs. Do you have ezeloid flower buds?” ask Milaine.

“Hoho, who told you about it? Not many people know about the shoots of ezeloid flowers.”

Milaine uncovers the hood of her robe. “I found out from the poison master. Do you know an old man named Shin? I heard you were good friends with him.”

The old man was stunned when he heard Shin's name. There was no way he didn't know the name of someone who had once saved his life. Based on Milaine's memories, the old man was named Delal.

“Shin? Is he still alive?” ask Delal.

Milaine nodded slowly. “Still, now Grandpa Shin is in a mental hospital. I am his student as well as a child whom he already considers to be a grandson,” Milaine replied.

Both eyes of Delal berlinang hear the latest news about his rescuer. All this time he was constantly searching for Shin's whereabouts. However, he did not find anywhere traces of his existence.

“Gosh, you're Shin's student? I didn't think he was alive. I thought he was dead. What about his wife, May?”

“Grandmother May is also fine. They both lived happily in the same place. I don't think you need to think about it.”

Happy tears were powerless in his eyes. Shin and May, the two people he always got involved with when he was young. The figure that he missed so much seems to be now languishing behind the mental hospital room.

“I'm sorry. I couldn't help but cry after hearing Shin and May's news. You're looking for ezeloid flowers, right? I still have some. Wait a minute, let me get you,” Delal said.

Delal ruffled his herbal storage box, looking for where he placed the bottle containing the ezeloid flower buds. After fifteen minutes of searching, he finally managed to find her.

“This is the herb you asked for. Did you use it as the main antidote for poison?”

“Yes, my sister is poisoned and I have to make her neutralizer. Good thing Grandpa Shin recommended this store,” said Milaine. “Oh yes, how much does it cost? I want to pay for it,” continued Milaine asked.

“You don't need—”

Brak!

The entrance was suddenly damaged by someone's kick. Milaine spontaneously turned his head towards the arrival of a large-bodied man.

“Hey, Old man! Pay your debt!”

A man shouted to ask Delal to pay his debt. Delal was terrified when he saw the man.

“I've given you a chance by stalling continuously. Now there is no chance for you,” press the debt collector.

“Sorry, but I can't pay now. Please give me time—”

“Do you want to die?!” The debt collector clutched Delal's collar. He was really afraid of facing that big-bodied man.

Milaine couldn't let this matter just happen. He decided to meddle in the middle of Delal's problem.

“How much is his debt?” ask Milaine.

“Hah? Who's this little girl? Are you sure you have money for—”

“Say! How much debt is it? Name the nominal, let me pay it off,” Milaine was angry.

The debt collector looked frightened as his eyes accidentally met the look of Milaine's eyes. He took off his hand on Delal's collar.

“That's seventy million.” The man's voice softened, he did not dare to mess with Milaine.

“Call your account number. I'll transfer it directly.”

The debt collector mentioned his account number. That instant Milaine transferred some money to pay off Delal's debt.

“I already paid for it.” Milaine showed proof of debt repayment transfer.

“Alright, I'm leaving now.”

Delal felt bad for Milaine. In fact, he did not know the name of the girl who helped him.

“Why do you bother helping me?” Delal asked Milaine a question.

Milaine replied, “Because you are Grandpa Shin's friend. Anyway seventy million money to me is a very small nominal.”

“What family are you from? I even forgot to ask your name.”

“I'm Milaine Lysander, the only daughter of CEO Lysander Group.”

Delal looked surprised. That name is not a family name. Lysander Group, famous in the upper world and the dark world, is now one of his descendants in front of him. It was unexpected that his best friend turned someone from the Lysander family into his student.

“You need not be too surprised. It's just a family name, there's no other meaning to me. Now I want to pay for my groceries,” said Milaine.

Delal immediately fixed his expression. “You don't have to pay for it. I owe you seventy million anyway. I'll make sure to pay your money later.”

“You don't have to pay for it. From now on live a leisurely life without thinking about debt. Even if you say you don't have to pay for these herbs, I'll still pay for them. Please accept this money.”

Milaine handed me a chocolate envelope filled with money. The nominal is also not kidding until Delal himself can not hold the money.

“It's too much. I can't take it,” refused Delal.

“Take it. Some of this money was deposited from Grandpa Shin. Don't reject Grandpa's kindness,” said Milaine.

Hearing this, Delal finally accepted the money. She thanked Milaine for helping her out of the bad situation of her life. Now he can go about his daily activities without thinking about the amount of debt he has to pay each time.
