Chapter 58: Chapter 58 - Deal [ Part 1 ]
"Hehe... I can explain."
"...."
"....."
"...Explain then."
"Well.... What happened was..." I explained to both of them what had really happened and they listened but... their facial expressions still didn't change and remained the way the same as both of them thought.
'How long hadn't the beast not been cleaned?'
'No... what I should be asking is what did the beast has for 'Dinner' to make such a terrible... 'Mess' of the tub.'
'Weren't the tubs supposed to have those special high priced machines that had the ability to clean everything even iron... then why isn't it working right now.'
'Wait a second... I shouldn't be thinking this what I should be thinking is... WHY the hell does a young kid like him have such a powerful beast beside him.'
'And the beast too... is quite docile around him or... acts docile around him. Somebody might have forcefully trained it to be this docile or it was already trained like this to begin with.'
'But to think a beast such as this could actually be tamed. Weren't such beasts are the cause of riots. Don't they hate humans from the bottom of their core...?'
'Well whatever it is, This kids parents are someone who clearly has a lot of connections, Both inside and outside.'
'...'Sigh' Man I shouldn't have acted like that towards the kid now who knows when something terrible might happen to me.'
'I'm pretty sure it might become one of those 'Unsolvable' cases we have lying around. And... we have a lot of them.'
After thinking of many bizarre situations both of them finally came to one decision.
'This kid must be handled very carefully.'
Number Two again looked at the scene before he scratched his head and said to me.
"Even though our trains cleaning services are supposed to help clean this mess up... But this might be a level too higher for them."
"Well then... Am I in any kind of trouble or something?" I asked confused at my own situation.
"Well No... But you will be, This is clearly a violation of our rules and you will have to reimburse us and come with us for some time." Number Two said.
"Well isn't there someway for me to quickly do this thing without having to go with you guys."
"Umm... What do you mean?"
"I meant isn't there any way too quickly solve this problem with just the 'Middleman'... if you get me." I eye them with a specific look.
Number Two didn't get it at first but his friend understood what I meant as he said.
"Ohh! Of course ki-Sir. We can help you quickly sort through this mess."
Hearing this Number Two intervened as he said "Hey we are not supposed to d-"
Number Three interrupted him as he pulled his friend slash rival towards the corner to have some small talk. And they began to talk in very small voices so that I couldn't hear what they were saying.
"What are you doing. Can't you see I'm working out a 'Deal' here." Number Three said.
"No! What are YOU doing? Your a god*amn military officer for the royal forces for f*cks sake." Number Two reprimanded him.
"So What! It doesn't stop me from making a small deals over here and there. It certainly doesn't stop the higher ups then why should it stop me."
"What will our boss say when he hears about this?"
"He won't say anything and he will be even happier to get some bucks out of this. And didn't he already told us to treat him well as a SPECIAL guest."
Listening to his ramblings Number Two had a smirk as he said "Why the sudden change of heart huh? Didn't you say that there is something terribly wrong with this kid?"
Number Three smiled sheepishly as he said "Well you know me, I'm always saying whatever comes in my mind, so you shouldn't take what I say too seriously."
"Ahhh haaa... So should we really do this, weren't there be problems with the higher ups or something." Number Two asked as he had never done something so criminally bad thing like this before.
"Well... We'll talk our boss into it and he'll take care of the higher ups, so we small folks don't have to worry about them but... You do see that there is awfully something weird about this kid right?"
"Yes, he seems to have some exceptional background."
"Exactly. More the reason why we shouldn't get into his bad side. If something were to happen then small folks like us are the ones who get caught in the crossfire Man."
"But... Ashe. Didn't you already kinda... made a first impression on him."
Hearing that Ashe had a dark face as he said "... Don't remind me of that dude... I hope that by doing this thing for him he might forgive me... or better yet forget me."
"But your taking money from him, thats not what you call doing a favor." Kade reminded his dumb friend.
"Hey! If I don't make some money out of this how are we supposed to satisfy our bosses and how will he satisfy his."
"Hmm... But-"
Ashe interrupted his friend and said quickly "Forget about those will you, Now tell me... are you in or... are you out?"
Kade thought quickly of this peculiar situation. And his moral compass was telling him to back away from this.
But in the end he chose the dark side as looking at it in a far higher view, he didn't want to trouble whoever it was in the background of the kid.
Both Kade and Ashe nodded at each other with a specific look and came towards me with a joint stand.
Ashe came towards me and his idiotic face turned to a smiley one that you would see in a business man trying to sell his merchandise to a wealthy person. And in his case I was a wealthy person... a very wealthy one.
Ashe rubbed his hands as he said to me in a tone that resembled honey.
"Well young master, we have found a solution for your problem and we are taking care of it immediately as we speak, but... it will cost you some extra cash?" He looked at me with a hungry gaze that spoke of getting everything he could from me.
"Ahh haa and how much 'Donations' would you need to 'Quickly' take care of this problem."
Understanding that I understood his underlying meaning he smiled even more as he put five fingers in front of my face as he gave me a number.
