Chapter 254 Their chat was cut short when a tall man who wore a ghost of a smirk walked in.
“Mr. Saul.” Hendery got up immediately to show his respect. Fernando was the best fighter in Northspring and was at the highest level of a master.
Fernando nodded, seemingly polite, as he asked with a smile, “This is Mr. Kayson Yarde, I presume?”
Hendery briefly introduced both men to each other before they took their seats. Fernando was a talker with a lot of experience, able to throw in a comment or two regardless of the topic of conversation.
As they chatted while they ate, Hendery steered the conversation to the point. He raised a glass of wine.
$45,000,000!? Was this a joke? Fernando continued to speak. “I can give you a discount, Hendery. Pay me $30,000,000, and I‘ll leave Mr. Yarde alone.”The man looked sincere and amiable.Hendery looked troubled. “Mr. Saul, isn‘t this… too much?”Fernando‘s smile was wry and helpless. “This really isn‘t a lot. I don‘t know why Mr. Yarde‘s life is worth so much either.”“Mr. Saul, Kayson here is a grandmaster–level practitioner,” said Hendery.
Fernando spread his hands. “I know. That‘s why I was willing to come tonight.”Hendery still looked troubled, $45,000,000 is too much!”Kayson took a sip of wine and glanced at Fernando before he commented, “The wine‘s decent.” Fernando grinned and told him, “You can take a few bottles home if you like, Mr. Yarde. I‘m a shareholder here. It‘s just a matter of some words.”Kayson continued drinking and ignored him but told Hendery, “Cut the crap with him, Hendery. He‘s never thought of making peace.” Hendery widened his eyes. “Kayson, what are you talking about?” Kayson looked at Fernando and said nonchalantly, “Why put up the act? If you want to kill me, do it directly.”Fernando was still all smiles, but his expression took a chilling turn. “A grandmaster–level fighter indeed. I knew it wouldn‘t be as easy to deceive you.”Hendery was appalled. “Mr. Saul, you—“. Fernando scoffed. “Hendery Todd, stop overestimating yourself. You‘re just a nobody in Admiralporium. Who do you think you are?” Fernando‘s expression darkened as he looked at Kayson.“A grandmaster–level fighter. So what if you‘ve seen through me? You were still drugged by the Exradere! Hahaha!”
