Chapter 305 - Trito (2) (1/2)
Trito, with a darkened face, went closer to the old man. He faced the old man and furiously said, ”How can you!!! I have wasted my time coming here, and you simply say that the goods were stolen?”
”Also, what about my down payment?”
The old man tried to appease Trito, ”Sorry, town's head. I have paid a lot to hire a reputable mercenaries.”
The old man looked at Semial and his brother, ”Who knows it turned out to be a fake.”
Then, the old man turned back again and faced Trito, ”How about this? I will return the down payment. Double!”
Trito looked at the old man intensively. After a few seconds, he said, ”Okay, fine! As you are one of my townfolks and I don't want to celebrate upon you misfortune, I will take your offer.”
”Thank you... Thank you...” The old man hurriedly thanked Trito, afraid of him changing his mind.
”Let's leave,” Trito commanded his guards behind him and left the place. At the door, he turned back and said to the old man, ”I hope you didn't make the same mistake.”
”Sure... Sure... Thank you for your graciousness.” The old man kept bowing and thanked Trito.
After the old man settled his business with Trito, now, it was time for him to settle his business with the root of the cause, Semial and his brother.
”So, how will you compensate my loss?” The old man didn't dilly dally and directly asked Semial and his brother.
”We will compensate for all the goods as well as the down payment.” Semial also directly said.
Meanwhile, Remus, who heard his brother's intentions, looked at his brother. He wanted to say something, but he canceled his thought. This would cost them a lot. It could even break them up. However, his brother had said it, and there was no turning back.
”It looks like you are not a retard. Look here!” The old man took a piece of paper and began to elaborate on the cost. After elaborating on all of the expenses, he calculated all the costs and showed it to Semial.
”Here, can you pay this amount?” The old man aggressively asked Semial.
Looking at the numbers, Semial frowned. It was not because they could not pay the price. However, it was because the goods' price was higher than the market's price.
Seeing Semial frowned, the old man knew what Semial had thought and only said one sentence, ”At least, you have to compensate for my loss of face.”
Hearing that Remus triggered, he wanted to punch the old man in the face. However, Semial quickly stopped him, ”Yes, that what we also thought. Here's the money!”
”Hmph... At least, you still have your conscience.” The old man signed a piece of paper and gave it to Semial. Then, he left the place without even thanking Semial.
Receiving the paper, Semial sighed. He looked at his brother with a dejected expression. They had spent almost all of their fortune on this.
