Chapter 129 A Big Spender (1/2)

”Let me get this straight,” Jeremiah sighed as he looked at the warehouse stocked with crates of Evanine Crystals, ”You spent four hundred gold to buy 55kg of Evanine Crystals, but they're all useless?”

”I did explain the concept of charged and uncharged crystals to you, didn't I?” asked Rassa.

Jeremiah sighed, ”You're getting cocky, kid. I'm still your Captain”.

Rassa smirked, ”The good news is, Captain, that I've got a way to make back that money”.

”Really, is that what you call spending the other 600 gold I gave you?” Jeremiah asked with crooked eyebrow.

It'd been three days since Ebony had insisted they go ahead with the plan Rassa had devised. Unfortunately, despite their best efforts to come up with lies, they couldn't hide from Jeremiah. They had to tell him the truth. Or at least part of the truth. But considering Rassa's solitary nature, he understood that the kid didn't want the limelight, and so agreed to pretend it was all Ebony's ideas and skills.

”What's with all the mirrors?” asked Jeremiah, ”You didn't look to be the vain type”.

”I told you that charging the crystals takes natural phenomenon,” Rassa said, ”You can't use crystals to charge other crystals, but that doesn't mean you can't cause those phenomena to occur yourself”.

”Last time I checked, Mirrors cracked under lightning,” Jeremiah stated.

”I'm not trying to charge crystals with lightning, it'd be crude and unmanageable,” Rassa replied.

”Then what are you charging them with?” asked Jeremiah.

”I'm only charging one for now,” Rassa said, ”You'll see when I manage to set it up, then shortly after, I'll earn you back your thousand gold and then some”.

Jeremiah looked at Rassa for a long moment before shaking his head, ”I don't like the mystery about you kid, but even if I don't like it, I can't help but be intrigued”.

”You know what you promised,” Rassa warned.

”I know, keep you out of the limelight,” Jeremiah replied, ”Give me some results and I can start my own work”.

”Before the start of the Festival, you'll get your money back then,” Rassa said.

”And the extra?” asked Jeremiah.

”Well, you did say I had to make my own money,” Rassa replied.

Jeremiah's eyes narrowed, ”Those are Token products kid, you are thinking of stealing the profits are you?”

”Well, not all of them. I'll split it with you, 50% each,” Rassa said.

Jeremiah blanched. The gall of this kid, he'd underestimated him.

”Do you really think that I'd agree to-”

”Without my idea, you'll get nothing back and have wasted a thousand gold,” Rassa chimed in.

Jeremiah sighed, gathering his inner strength to not pummel the hooded fiend before him.

”70-30,” Jeremiah said.

”I'm not negotiating,” Rassa replied.

Jeremiah gritted his teeth as he stared down Rassa. But those dark eyes were determined, there would be no moving him. And beyond that determination, Jeremiah could see something else. Something that he was reluctant to admit scared him. The old Captain indeed question for a moment whether or not he'd made a deal with a dark god. Because if Jeremiah didn't agree to this, then the kid would take all the profits beyond the thousand gold, and there was nothing Jeremiah could do to stop him.
