Chapter 5: Awakening (2)
"Chubby, I need you to contact the client. Inform him that the reanimation process is underway, and I'll require an advance payment to proceed with the final steps," Victor instructed. At the same time, he looked for his regular Tamer's contact info.
"Sure thing, Doc. I'll get right on it," Chubby replied with his typical cackling voice.
As much as Victor hated employing his 'sons' into his business, they had a way of dealing with customers and could negotiate prices relatively well.
While it might not seem like it after their interaction with Victor, they only bowed before him because of their relationship. For anyone else, they never gave up, and as a result, Victor always paid them quite well as their commission.
"Since Chubby would deal with the customer, I should go ahead and call Braco," Victor mumbled as he called the Tamer.
Unfortunately, the call didn't connect, and after trying for the seventh time, Victor gave up. Braco was probably on some other quest and, hence, wasn't answering his phone.
Braco's absence meant it would take a while before he'd be there to form a slave contract with the Chimaera. But Victor couldn't let the Chimaera be like that, nor could he call another tamer in Braco's stead.
Firstly, calling someone else might cause trouble for Victor as he was doing illegal work by procuring corpses of his experiment through illicit means. The revelation could get him into trouble with the Salvation Church and the Nexarian military.
Finally, using another tamer might sour his business relationship with Braco, and who knows how the mentally sick bastard would retaliate?
