Nathan immediately panicked when he heard Daniel's proposal.
“What? You already conned me out of ten grand and now you want another one thousand?”
“Nathan, if you don’t want to pay the thousand, then the next time a ghost attacks you and you call for my help, the price will double. I’ll charge you twenty thousand.”
“Hick, you... you have no morals! You bastard!”
“Call me whatever you want, but I’m providing a paid service, and these are the fixed prices.”
“The prices are set by me, no room for negotiation. If you don’t want to pay one thousand now, you’ll have to pay twenty thousand later.”
“You... you bastard!” Nathan roared, his face turning red with anger. He felt a strong hatred toward Daniel.
But what choice did he have? They were on Golden Light Hill, a place where ghosts could attack at any moment!
Nathan had no choice but to agree.
“Fine! I agree!” He begrudgingly complied, realizing that refusing had already cost him ten thousand dollars. If he refused again, it could cost him another twenty thousand!
With another thousand in his pocket, Daniel led the group onward.
The rest of the journey was uneventful, with no more encounters with ghosts.
They eventually arrived at an abandoned villa complex. It was overgrown with weeds, giving off an eerie vibe.
