The Medallion novel Chapter 1665

"Well, if it isn't Dillan the tightwad," Esteban remarked as he stared at Dillan with contempt in his eyes.

"Ha-ha! You are still humorous as ever, Esteban. I may love money so much, but I am willing to spend it when necessary. Calling me a tightwad is a bit too exaggerated," Dillan replied with an awkward smile.

"Oh, is that so? Then, surely you won't mind paying up for the medical fees that you owe me from before. That is ten thousand Shura Coins in total," Esteban said with a raised eyebrow.

"Ten thousand? Was it that big? Esteban, I think you are asking for too much!" Dillan retorted as his expression changed drastically.

"If you think that it is expensive, then I don't want you asking me for medicines again later." Esteban snorted coldly.

"All right. All right. I will pay up," Dillan answered hastily as he begged.

"Come to think of it. I've been quite short of several kinds of medicines recently, and it's actually quite difficult for me to collect them. However, I guess you have the resources to get them for me," Esteban insinuated.

"Well, I could do it. But how about the cost?" Dillan asked quickly.

"Fine. It will be deducted from what you owe me!" Esteban answered sternly.

"Okay! I will send whatever you need to the Ghost Palace later." Right after making an agreement with Esteban, Dillan urged the driver of the chariot to leave in a hurry.

"Who is that guy?" Rocky asked Esteban as soon as the man in the chariot left.

"He is the Minister of Finance that works under Leader Gilbert. He is the one responsible for all financial affairs within the leader's jurisdiction. Moreover, as you've heard what I say, he's well-known to be a cheapskate. He always takes advantage of ordinary people, so obviously, many people dislike him. However, because of his royal status, no ordinary citizen would dare to offend him. In fact, even the leader turns a blind eye to his unjust schemes. Well, he is a very capable minister indeed. Even if his ways are crooked, at least there is enough money to recruit more troops and improve the fighting force," Esteban explained.

"I see. So, why did he come to you before? What was his illness?" Rocky asked out of curiosity.

"That guy is a lascivious man who often acquires sexually transmitted diseases. Because of that, he asked me for help many times," Esteban replied with a scoff.

"Then, you must have gotten a lot of benefits from him," Rocky said.

"Humph! I am not that kind of person. Since he has many resources, I only ask him to help me find several kinds of rare herbs."

Hearing that, Rocky just let out a faint smile. 'Of course, rare herbs would not come at a cheap price. If that is not a benefit, then what is?' he thought to himself. However, Rocky didn't feel the need to point it out. He just followed Esteban and moved forward to their original destination.

Before long, they came to a huge square in the shape of eight diagrams. At this moment, on the periphery of the square, many people were already gathered, including the members of Gilbert's mansion.

On the other side of the square, there were also dozens of members of the Shura Race that had already reached the Emperor Realm. They all looked well-dressed for the event, but one could see that they were all pretty arrogant.

"Esteban, aren't you going to stand with those people?" Rocky asked out of nowhere.

"No, of course not. Let's find a better spot where we can watch the fun. Those people came here because they want to become the Godly Genius and pray for the gods' blessings. I'm not interested in any of that," Esteban replied and eventually led Rocky to the corner of the square.

Soon enough, several beams of colorful light appeared in the sky. Then, several men landed at the center of the square, with the lord of the Ghost Fief, Gilbert, taking the lead.

As for the other higher-ups, each of them seemed to have reached the Shura Realm.
