Chapter 369: Sold for a good price
"Daria, do you think we can still get the rest of the commission?"
Clark sat on the couch, as if there was a thorn under his buttocks, and he kept twisting and turning, and it was difficult to hide his inner apprehension. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
"Why can't you get it? Oleg only paid us half of the commission, and the remaining half said that he would settle it after the tournament was over, and he couldn't deny it. Daria's answer was actually unconfident.
"But we didn't keep our promise to help him win the championship, if he didn't give him money...... It seems reasonable. Clark scratched his head, his face tangled.
Daria carefully recalled the original verbal agreement, and her beautiful willow eyebrows couldn't help but lock up: "Clark, it's my fault, I shouldn't have just reached a verbal agreement with Oleg in the first place, if I had written a written contract, I wouldn't have the worries I have now." ”
"I can't blame you for this, I didn't think ......"
"It doesn't matter if you don't think about it, but I shouldn't make such a low-level mistake." Daria's voice was deep.
Clark was stunned for a moment, then nodded: "That's right, after all, you are from the Nine Prisons, and you pay attention to making a note in everything you do." ”
Daria sighed and said faintly: "If Oleg is determined to repay the debt, even if he really has a contract in hand, it is meaningless, can we still fight a lawsuit on other people's territory?" Forget it, just lose money to buy a lesson. ”
Clark became more and more depressed when she heard this, stared blankly at the fruit plate on the table, grabbed it, picked up an apple and stuffed it whole into his mouth, chewed it in two bites, and then grabbed a large handful of roasted hazelnuts and stuffed them into his mouth, chewed them directly without peeling the shell, and swallowed them in large gulps.
Daria looked at him in surprise: "What are you doing!" ”
"Hmph...... I'm going to make up for the loss a little while I can still eat and drink for nothing! Clark replied indignantly.
Dariya was about to persuade him not to do such a stupid thing, when the door suddenly opened, and Oleg walked in.
Daria and Clark jumped up and winked at each other, but they were too embarrassed to mention the gratuity first.
"Something happened at home, so I've been waiting for you for a long time." Oleg didn't pay attention to the faces of the two, and directly took out two storage bags from his arms and threw them on the table with a bang, "This is the reward you deserve, only a little more." ”
Clarke's face was happy, he grabbed a storage bag and weighed it twice, and pressed his hands very heavily, "How much is this?" ”
"Ten thousand gold coins." Oleg said lightly.
"Huh?!" Clarke's mouth opened wide in shock, as if he had become a fossil.
Daria's face also changed, and she looked at Oleg suspiciously: "You're not mistaken, right? We only need to pay 5,000 gold coins each, how can it be doubled? ”
"It doesn't matter, money doesn't mean much to me anyway, you two have good character, you are friends worth making deeply, I can't give you anything else now, even if this money is a thought, accept it, you're welcome." Oleg sat on the chair opposite, his head bowed, staring at his crossed hands resting on his lap, his eyes behind the mask a little lonely.
Clark grinned as he pinched the purse, not sure whether he should take the money or not, so he had to cast a begging look at Daria.
"Mr. Oleg, I know that losing in the final will hit you hard, but there are always such and such unsatisfactory things in life, you should cheer up as soon as possible......"
Dalya tried to comfort Oleg, but was interrupted by a wave of his hand.
"It's a shame to lose in the tournament, but it's not enough to break my confidence, it doesn't matter if I lose to Roland Kolas, as long as I work harder, I can win it back one day, what really disappointed me was another thing......"
"You're right?"
Oleg was silent for a long time, and finally confided in his heart: "My father intends to kneel down to Beowulf, kiss his toes, and sell our family and the Mokesh believers in the city for centuries in exchange for some food subsidies and three mouthfuls of cold iron ore. His words revealed his resentment towards his father.
Daria quickly calculated the price and benefits of the deal, and asked him tentatively, "Is it your father who has these benefits alone, or is it ......?"
"All Mokesh believers can get subsidies, the shares of the mine are divided equally among everyone, my family manages it on behalf of everyone, and dividends are distributed on time, which can be regarded as a little pension for the believers, anyway, there will be no new Mokesh believers in this fallen city in the future."
"Isn't that great?" Clark couldn't help but interject, "Your dad is very shrewd and sold a deserted temple for a good price!" I don't understand what you're not satisfied with......"
Oleg suddenly raised his head and stared at him viciously: "What do you mean by 'good price'?" Can our faith, our spirit, and our soul be worth by those little devils? You reckless man without faith, you don't understand at all! ”
Daria gave Clark a few looks, suggesting that he say less, but the upright frost giant still couldn't control his temper.
"Hey! What is faith? Let me tell you Oleg, drinking wine and eating meat in large chunks is faith, the kiss of a beautiful girl is faith, standing in the middle of the ring to knock down a powerful opponent and raise your arms to welcome the applause and cheers of the audience is my faith, my faith is real, what is your faith? Can you eat or drink? ”
"I pity you, Clark, your spiritual world is so barren and your soul is a vacuum!" Oleg also criticized the frost giant in the most vehement terms, "You will not end well, Clark, you will go to hell and become the most humble worm when you die!" You won't end well! ”
"Go ****** the afterlife! Go to ****** Heaven and Hell! Clarke scoffed at his curse, "If faith is a good thing, it should make people live with joy in their hearts, how can you live like you with a sad face all day long like your mother?" You expect to exchange your suffering and sins for carefree after death, isn't that losing watermelons and picking hazelnuts? As he spoke, he grabbed the watermelon in the fruit bowl and took a big bite, and then took a small hazelnut in his left hand and put it together with the large watermelon for comparison.
Daria snorted, she didn't agree with everything Clark said, but she had to admit that the other party's words described Oleg's mental predicament very aptly, vividly, and ...... Ironic.
"Clarke, I solemnly warn you to retract these blasphemous words! If a person loses his fear, what difference is there between living in the world and those wild beasts who know only to hunt and mate! ”
"Haha, do you really think so? Mr. Oleg, that only means that your life is either too boring or too hypocritical, you are a rich and powerful nobleman, you must have slept with a lot of beautiful girls? Did you also imagine the girl in your arms as a minotaur Mokesh when you were doing that? Clark couldn't help but laugh, gasping for breath and continuing to taunt Oleg: "Think about that scene carefully, if you are still a normal man, you should admit that it is really ridiculous."
