Chapter 25: Let’s Work Together (4)
In the Lillian Kingdom, commoners weren’t even allowed to look directly at a high noble without permission. That was the strict law of the land. Although Ultima was an upper-class citizen, just one step below nobility, he was still merely a citizen. Therefore, he had to show the utmost respect to Keter, who was a blood relative of a high noble family.
Tap tap.
Keter lightly kicked Ultima’s knee with his foot and said, “Let’s skip the formal titles between us and talk business.”
“Business...”
Though Keter called it business, it had already turned into a relationship of absolute power and submission.
“First, let’s settle the score for that little scam you pulled.”
Keter jumped straight to the conclusion, skipping any preamble. Ultima felt dizzy right from the start.
“Keter, if it’s money you want, just name your price. If you let me go, I’ll make sure to pay for my life.”
“Why are you in such a hurry when this is where your fate is going to be decided? Are you also going to return if you die? Is that it?”
“What are you talking about now?”
“Or, you can just repay everything you stole from the Sefira family.”
