Chapter 28: Human Hunting (9)
Moisture continued to fill his eyes whenever I wiped away his tears. I paid it no mind as I kept wiping Jack’s eyes. Conversations ought to be done face to face, after all.

“For starters, I’m going to be taking Laura De Farnese. This is non-negotiable. Furthermore, I’m ready to pay you 3,000 gold. In my opinion, I believe that this is a reasonable deal. The price for Laura De Farnese was approximately 2,000 gold anyway. Consider the extra thousand gold as compensation for your right arm. If you think about it, if you approach some beggar and tell them you’ll pay a thousand gold for their arm, they would immediately…….”
“It’s a lie……kub, a lieeee!”
Tsk.
I clicked my tongue. This isn’t good. It seems the pain of losing an arm had filled his head with red. It’s not like I couldn’t understand. It probably hurts. That’s obvious. Regardless, I had dealt with the adventurer party from Jalsen Village with a completely shattered right foot.
It might have been the blood loss and not the pain that was causing his head to not work properly. I asked Lapis if she could recite a simple healing spell. Lapis nodded her head. However, the way she used her so-called healing magic was also a sight to see. Lapis made a small flame appear above her palm before using it to cauterize his wound.
“Kuaaaaaaaaah!”
I couldn’t help but make a wry face. With a little bit of exaggeration, Jack screamed so loud that it could rupture eardrums. It was hard to imagine how painful it would be to have your flesh burned. I’ve never been burned before, after all.
