Chapter 2430: Bone Atoll(3)

"You... killed him...?"

The guide swallowed nervously after hearing Supreme Ruler Dena’s claim.

Even though he was right beside her, Supreme Ruler Grant didn’t dare to correct her, mostly because it’d harm his reputation more if he revealed that he was actually alive and was being dragged around like some kind of slave.

"Are you going to call me a liar next?" Supreme Ruler Dena narrowed her gaze at him.

"N-No..." The guide hastily shook his head before continuing, "Let’s talk about your destination. The Weeping Ossuary, correct? It’s a little far from here, but that’s not the issue. The currents have been rough and nearly unpredictable for several thousand years now, so only an experienced guide would be able to take you there safely. Fortunately for you, I am an experienced guide."

"As for your rates... Since you’re the Supreme Ruler, I’ll give you a discount. How does thirty thousand Grand Bone Calx sound? Or three Supreme Bone Calx?"

"..."

Supreme Ruler Dena fell silent.

"Is that too expensive? Normally, I would charge a hundred thousand Grand Calx or ten Supreme Bone Calx..."

Lev then spoke, "Uh... we don’t have such currency in the Crimson Continent."

"..."

It was the guide’s turn to fall silent.

"Don’t tell me... you want me to guide you for free?" he asked after a moment of silence.

"..."

Yuan then spoke, "How about this? Rather than an upfront payment, we’ll pay you upon arrival at our destination, and we’ll even pay you your original—no, double your normal rates."

"Even if we get there, how do you intend to pay when you don’t have any money?" The guide inquired with a puzzled face.

"Although we don’t have any money, we won’t be the ones paying you. Supreme Ruler Exosso will be footing the bill, after all," Yuan elaborated with a nonchalant face.

"Uhh... do they know that they’ll be paying me, or are you just..." the guide’s confused face turned into a doubtful one.

"Trust me, they’ll definitely pay you. The Supreme Ruler here will make sure of that." Yuan said while pointing at Supreme Ruler Dena.

"Alright! I will trust you!"

Despite his enthusiasm, the guide was lying about trusting them.

However, there was really nothing he could do but accept his fate and guide them to their destination even if they couldn’t pay him. 𝐟𝕣𝗲𝕖𝕨𝗲𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗲𝚕.𝗰𝚘𝐦

After all, if he refused and offended them, death would be the least of his worries.

"When would you like to go?" The guide then asked.

"Can we depart immediately?"

"Not immediately since I will need some time to study the currents."

"How much time do you need?"

"A few days should be enough."

"Then we will leave once you’re ready."
