Well, Chun couldn't exactly calculate the value of Liberty yet. After all, he hadn't even shopped yet! Wandering through downtown, he tried to be on the lookout for any nice clothes. He wasn't out to buy watches, because he knew that none in downtown could ever be to his tastes.

Having said that, he still couldn't help taking just a peek inside one of the bigger stores, when he saw a fellow Asian browsing beside him. Sniffing in disdain, it was obvious that the man had no idea about watches.

Chun was about to leave when suddenly, the owner of the store, a sleazy-looking guy starting to bald, approached the other man with full intent to rip him off. It wasn't so much kindness that made him stomp across the store and take the watch out of the man's hand, but more...

He couldn't let such a cheap fake be sold!

"Excuse you," he said, raising an eyebrow at the watch in his hand. "But it is not a 'nice watch'. Cheap it is, but definitely in no terms a good watch. Look here, there's barely anything holding it together!" He glared at the

Well that was unexpected. Moon blinked when he saw some stranger grab the watch from him and speak up like that.
"... Uuhh..." He wasn't even sure how to respond to what the other had just said.

Of course he knew things!

"I just need a new watch that works." he said, and frowned slightly.

The manager looked at Chun, obviously not happy about having a sale disrupted. There was a slight glare in his eyes. "This watch is a very good watch. We had it in yesterday." he informed.

If he could, he would give the taller man a hit on the head. Couldn't he see that Chun was trying to help him? Rolling his eyes, he dangled the watch in front of him. "Look at this. The backing is made with elementary glue. A week, two weeks tops and this is going to fall apart."

And then he turned to full-out glare at the storekeeper, "And you. Don't even talk. You are disgracing watches everywhere by calling this one 'good'!"

'Hmph'ing, he turned back to the stranger. "You are honestly way too gullible. And what's with this fashion sense?" He threw his hands up in the air. "Honestly!"

"Here, look at this." He pulled up his sleeve to show his brand new Omega watch, a simple but classic design with a bit of glamour mixed in. "This is a real watch."

The owner was trying to scam him? Moon frowned again, and looked at the watch one more time. "....." Yeah, it did look like it could rip apart.

Looking at the stranger's watch, he noticed a big difference between the two watches. The stranger's watch looked a lot more expensive, but was also solid and seemed like it could last for quite a while.

"Where did you get that?"
