After introducing everyone, he apologetically said: "No one would pay for someone elseās mistake, but Mr. Baiyi, isnāt five hundred Gold Coins a bit too little?"
Baiyi glanced at his phone, then said with full regret: "Iām really sorry, you came at a very inopportune time, because Dongwu City needs development right now, so the Mithril has already been reserved, someone has paid a deposit."
"Sell? Thatās our stuff! How dare you sell it?" Leta couldnāt help but burst out angrily: "Five hundred Gold Coins to buy a Secret Silver Mine, have you gone mad with poverty? Why donāt you just rob us?"
Xiao Ti didnāt scold his subordinates any further, the gentleness in his eyes gradually disappeared as he calmly watched Baiyi.
"May I ask, is your surname Kaina too?" Baiyi asked with a smile.
"No, but itās something Iām guarding, how can you freely dispose of someone elseās possessions..."
Buzz~
A buzzing sound rang out, and a Worker Bee had landed on Letaās shoulder without anyone noticing.
His words ceased the moment the Worker Bee appeared, and in the next instant, his mouth suddenly foamed white, and his exposed skin turned black and purple.
His entire body stiffened and fell backward, crashing heavily to the ground.
"What are you doing?" Xiao Ti abruptly stood up, the composure and politeness in his eyes completely vanished, looking at Baiyi in shock.
The City Lord was also somewhat surprised, took a sip of coffee, and simply picked up a tablet to watch Federation news on it. Watching Dawn gradually improve through these news stories was his favorite pastime.
As for this obvious forceful buying and selling, deceitful incident, in this World it was too common; even if the amount was huge, in the eyes of the more than four hundred and fifty-year-old City Lord, it was just childās play.
"Donāt be nervous, Mr. Xiao Ti, heās not going to die." Baiyi said with a smile: "I just thought he was a bit rude, wanted to give him a gift, like making him unable to speak in the future."
Seeing the shock in Xiao Tiās eyes gradually turning into anger, Baiyi seriously analyzed: "However, itās not entirely about being rude, if you look at the full picture of the event, our Finance Officer always acts according to the signed contract, this must be correct, so he received the reward he deserved."
"And since heās not wrong, and you have suffered such a large loss, then thereās only one case, he was wrong." Baiyi pointed to the still spasming frail middle-aged man.
"If he had just checked the contract carefully and understood whatās on it, todayās incident wouldnāt have happened, so his punishment is deserved, wouldnāt you agree?"
Xiao Ti looked at Baiyi with suppressed gaze: "Is this the final answer youāre giving?"
Baiyi stood up, yawned, and walked out: "Is there something wrong with that? In life-and-death battles, even a mistake can cost oneās life, meaning everyoneās mistake will carry a cost. Donāt you understand this principle? Youāre only relying on the surname Kaina..."
"Lord City Lord, I will be leaving first, we shouldnāt entertain such matters in the future, lest it harm the peace."
As the Worker Bee flew off from Letaās shoulder, the originally rigid middle-aged man slowly softened again.
He opened his eyes, was furious and wanted to say something: "Abba Abba..."
He was stunned, and then even more terrified, he looked at his master, his hands frantically gesturing something.
Xiao Ti watched Baiyiās fading figure, his eyes full of suppression, wondering how he inexplicably felt as if he was being unreasonable coming here this time?
He subconsciously looked towards the Old City Lord.
Eric felt the gaze, put down his coffee, stood up with a smile, and walked out with his hands behind his back: "Old, old, you young peopleās matters, you should handle them yourselves."
Ericās voice carried some Magic Power: "Inform them, I need a rest recently, if thereās anything, go to the Acting City Lord, except for external attacks, other matters donāt need to be reported to me..."
"Yes!"
The loud and forceful responses of some soldiers rang out, their voice full of momentum, enhancing the anger in Xiao Tiās eyes.
"Abba Abba..."
Leta was still gesturing something, full of fright, but in the next moment, an extremely sinister aura erupted, and the person in front of him instantly plunged into the Shadow, disappearing with a scream.
Leta stood for a long time, unwilling to admit it, but somehow Baiyiās words seemed more and more reasonable.
Mistakes have consequences, as if... itās the truth?
Yet, he always felt something was terribly wrong.
