Even if Your Regret Holds Me Back (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 75
Realizing this, Eden set down the portrait with a faint smile.
“I’ve seen it.”
Then, as if nothing had happened, he reopened the book he’d been reading. His movements were far too calm and natural—so much so that they stopped Eugene from pressing further.

Eugene tucked the painting away and instead opened his coin purse. Three gold coins clinked onto the polished desk.
Eden glanced at them briefly, still holding his book in his left hand, and picked one up with his right.

The gold coin spun idly between Eden’s slender fingers. Without taking his eyes off its motion, he continued.
“Among them, even the most valuable gold coin—worth enough to circulate across the entire continent—is, in essence, hardly different from an ordinary stone. It’s merely a mixture of minerals forged under intense heat and pressure over vast stretches of time… which is precisely why so many alchemists risk their lives for it.”
“Do I look like I paid for your time just to listen to an old bookseller’s outdated sermon?”
“I’m refusing you with the utmost courtesy.”
Eden flicked the coin lightly into the air, caught it, and placed it back on the desk.

Short scene 2:
Wei Jing Mo stared intently at Feng Bai Su who was about to go out, wanting to say, “Be careful on the road.”
Before he could speak, Feng Bai Su suddenly bent down and bit his cheek.
