Seizing the BOSS Template at the Start

Chapter 133: Chapter 98: Mistakes Come at a Price (Part 3)

After introducing everyone, he apologetically said: ”No one would pay for someone else’s mistake, but Mr. Baiyi, isn’t five hundred Gold Coins a bit too little?”

Baiyi glanced at his phone, then said with full regret: ”I’m 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? That’s our stuff! How dare you sell it?” Leta couldn’t help but burst out angrily: ”Five hundred Gold Coins to buy a Secret Silver Mine, have you gone mad with poverty? Why don’t you just rob us?”

Xiao Ti didn’t 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 it’s something I’m guarding, how can you freely dispose of someone else’s possessions...”

Buzz~

A buzzing sound rang out, and a Worker Bee had landed on Leta’s 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 child’s play.

”Don’t be nervous, Mr. Xiao Ti, he’s 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 Ti’s eyes gradually turning into anger, Baiyi seriously analyzed: ”However, it’s 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 he’s not wrong, and you have suffered such a large loss, then there’s 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 what’s on it, today’s incident wouldn’t have happened, so his punishment is deserved, wouldn’t you agree?”

Xiao Ti looked at Baiyi with suppressed gaze: ”Is this the final answer you’re giving?”

Baiyi stood up, yawned, and walked out: ”Is there something wrong with that? In life-and-death battles, even a mistake can cost one’s life, meaning everyone’s mistake will carry a cost. Don’t you understand this principle? You’re only relying on the surname Kaina...”

”Lord City Lord, I will be leaving first, we shouldn’t entertain such matters in the future, lest it harm the peace.”

As the Worker Bee flew off from Leta’s 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 Baiyi’s 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 people’s matters, you should handle them yourselves.”

Eric’s voice carried some Magic Power: ”Inform them, I need a rest recently, if there’s anything, go to the Acting City Lord, except for external attacks, other matters don’t 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 Ti’s 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 Baiyi’s words seemed more and more reasonable.

Mistakes have consequences, as if... it’s the truth?

Yet, he always felt something was terribly wrong.
