Chapter 219: Scheme
"Tsk, tsk. If you can’t afford to stay here, why would you even come? Sigh, this is the problem with the poor..." The people that were watching the show earlier mixed in the crowd and began to say rude things.
"I can’t believe he attacked a servant. Why don’t you just go to some cheaper hotel if you can’t afford this? Heh, just lie down on the road if you’re so broke." Another person added.
Even the people staying in the hotel now began to discuss what was happening, and the way it was unfolding, all believed it was Vritra’s fault, so they took the fat manager’s side.
"I don’t care what you want to say, apologize to Rat and pay the money you owe us," the fatty said, pointing a finger at Vritra.
"S-Sir, he owe us 1 million... cough cough gold coins... ughhh I saw him... h-he stole a few things e-earlier... ughhh..." the unconscious Rat woke up for a moment before falling back.
"..." Even the fat manager fell silent for a moment at such an absurd amount. He had asked to name a big price but not this big. But after coughing, he said, "I won’t ask you to pay the entire money—just return what you stole and pay your bills. After you apologize to Rat, I will let you leave."
"But I didn’t steal anything," Vritra said, shrugging his shoulders. He could already sense a lot of presences surrounding the entire hotel—this thing was going to become very big.
"Haa, don’t make me use force. Just admit your mistake. This is the last time I am asking this nicely. As the biggest business in the entire kingdom, we have to maintain our reputation. I said we will just let you go, so do as I say," the fatty said, pretending to be enraged. His cheeks turned red.
"Well, I can’t do that. I have stolen nothing," Vritra replied with a shake of his head.
"Hmm, if you are so adamant about it, then why don’t you come with our guards and let them search you? If you have nothing to fear, then it shouldn’t be a big deal." Fatty gestured toward the entrance of the corridor, where lots of guards began to gather.
