On top of that, there were random gems and valuables.
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
The merchants had bought those off him for another million.
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
They had all belonged to bandits anyway.
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
And even if he wanted to return them to their owners, no one knew where those owners were—or if they were even still alive.

In short, the bandit goods had become “ownerless items.”

Before long, he returned with a wagon and took the bound and captured bandits off to the larger city where the Hunter Guild was located.
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
Exitra then turned toward the merchants and the Architect Guild members.
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
“Is the representative of the merchants or the architect guild here?”
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
“That would be me.”
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
“And me, as well.”
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
Two men stepped forward in response.
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
The merchant representative had a long white beard.
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
The Architect Guild rep had tanned skin, short hair, and a muscular build.
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
“You two, huh?”
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
“Yes.”
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
“Alright, we need to talk. Come to the lord’s manor.”
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
“Understood.”
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
“Of course, but I’d like to speak to my people first.”
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
“Same here.”
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
“Go ahead.”
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
The two men returned to their groups.
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
Negotiation before trading was expected.
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
If done well, it could also lead to major cost reductions.
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
“So, after they’re done…”
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
But then Exitra tilted his head while watching the merchant rep.
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
The old man was speaking to a female merchant, and… well?
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
There was something odd about the atmosphere.
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
There was a strange tension between them.
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
‘There’s definitely something going on.’
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
A few morning dramas were all you needed to spot this kind of setup.
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
Just one glance, and he could tell there was some kind of drama between the two.
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
“I’m ready now.”
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
The architect guild rep returned, followed shortly by the merchant rep.
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
Exitra snapped out of his thoughts.
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
“Then let’s go.”
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
“Yes.”
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
“Alfredo, you come too. I want you to see this.”
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
“Huh? What for? I’m not interested.”
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
Alfredo turned his head away.
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
He was fiddling with the dagger he’d picked up from the bandit warehouse.
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
He didn’t say anything, but it was obvious he couldn’t wait to test it out.
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
— [LOL lil bro vibes.]
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
— [He’s itching to try out that new toy LOL.]
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
— [Just let the kid play already.]
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
— [Do what you wanna do, lil bro~~]
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
“Alright, fine. Do as you like.”
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
“Then I’m off!”
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
Alfredo bolted.
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
His footsteps were so light, it was almost comical.
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
— [Look at him run LOL.]
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
— [Why is every move he makes so cute LOL.]
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
“Alright, shall we go?”
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
“Yes.”
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
Exitra turned and headed toward the lord’s manor.
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
The two representatives followed behind him.
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
Exitra glanced at the two and smiled.
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
‘I believe in you, Weak Point Insight.’
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
“[Exitra’s smile… pure evil now.]”
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
— [He didn’t use to be like this…]
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
— [These days, his smile is terrifying.]
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
— [Nooo, run while you can… It’s hell in there! He’s a demon!!]
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
“Let’s have a lovely little negotiation… a very pleasant one.”
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
[Ding~]
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
[He. Is. E-vil.]
