Chapter 307 - Lost Goods (2) (2/2)

”Let's get started. Do you know where the person who reported the missing goods located?” Auron pretended not to know anything about Semial and Remus.

The old man clapped his hands, and two guards enter the house. ”Go, find the two people from before, and bring them here.”

Ten minutes later, the guards came back with two additional two people, Semial and Remus. Both of them came here with a darkened expression. Semial started to ask first, ”What happened, old man? We have paid you, and our matters have been resolved. Why you look for us again?”

”Calm down. Why don't you listen to me first.” The old man said.

”I called you here because I want to hire you. Your task is to help this gentleman to track back my lost goods. Of course, I will pay you up.” The old man smiled.

Semial and Remus just realized the guest that the old man had mentioned. Both of them looked at the guest, and they were surprised. Before both of them could say anything, Auron stood up and said, ”Hello, I am Savage Sickle. Nice to meet you!”

Auron pretended not to know Semial and Remus. He also didn't forget to wink at them to tell them to play along with him. Semial and Remus caught Auron's wink and knew what he means.

Both of them introduced themselves, ”Hello, I am Semial. Nice to meet you too!”

”I am Remus. Nice to meet you!”

Semial and Remus didn't know what will happen. But, since they saw Auron here, they calmed down and said back to the old man, ”Why us? Didn't we have lost your goods.”

Semial played dumb. The old man replied, ”Actually, I also don't want to hire you. But, as you are the only one who had seen the goods, I have no other choice but to hire you.”

Semial asked once again, ”What will we get for helping you?”

”I will pay each of you for this amount, xxxxx,” The old man said.

The old man mentioned quite a significant sum of money for Semial and Remus. It was considered significant because Semial and Remus had failed miserably once, and they should not get that amount of money.

The old man confidently said that the amount of money since he was not the one who paid if the mission failed. Even if it was a success, he would only pay half of it. However, he didn't mention anything about the division of the cost. Meanwhile, Auron also didn't mind that amount of money and just stayed quiet.

Seeing that Auron was quiet, the old man smiled and wait for Semial's response. ”Okay, we accept the offer.”

”Great!” Auron immediately interrupted the conversation before anyone could say anything more. ”We will get going immediately!”

Auron brought Semial and Remus outside the house and left the old man alone.
