Chapter 487 (1/2)

“Just out of curiosity, what happens if I refuse to pay?”

“Tsk…” The small man made an irritated noise. “Officially, we aren’t able to hold you personally responsible. Any loan a slave takes out is technically made using their own body a collateral. Therefore, the most we can do is repossess and enslave Carmine and sell her to recoup our losses.”

“No!” Carmine cried out, grabbing my shirt.

“I see…” I reach out and patted Carmine’s hand reassuringly. “It’s okay, I’ll settle this.”

She let go of my shirt and I walked up to the men. The two guards on either side flexed, ready to step in if I tried anything dangerous. Instead, I reached out and clasped his hand, shaking it.

“What is this?” He asked, a confused look on his face.

“I can’t say it’s been a pleasure dealing with you, but thankfully this was able to be resolved amicably,” I responded.

“Wait, what? When did we resolve this?”

“Eh? Didn’t you say you’ll repossess Carmine? It’s truly unfortunate, but I’m sure you can find her a good home. Are you by chance interested in sisters?”

“W-w-w-wait a second here!” The guy’s eyes flashed in shock.

“M-m-master! What are you saying?” Carmine looked about ready to cry.
