"I'm sorry...I'm sorry....I wasn't in my right mind...please spare me..." Plead the man as he writhing in pain as he holding on to his broken hand.
"Scram!" Verick furiously said.
The man hurriedly ran while other people who looking at them didn't dare to intervene.
"I can't believe I came here just for that wretched girl!" He lashes out. Verick feels disgusted being in this place. The two man who accompanied him are the knights of dukedom, Sir Bolt and Sir Nathan.
"Please be patient, my lord. The duke would like this to be settled immediately. So let's remain calm." Sir Bolt remind him back.
Reminded of his father, Verick immediately adjusted himself.
"Let's get this over with."
The three of them walk towards the big door, with the guards letting them through after getting their identification.
As they arrive, they saw an old man is waiting inside with several guard around him.
"Welcome, welcome my dear customer. Have some sit." The old man welcome them.
"Are you the owner of this place?" Sir Nathan questions.
"Yes, yes. I am." The old man said. He then pour some drink for them.
"Have a drink first."
"No. Let's just get to the business. Where is she?" Verick without dilly-dallying question. The old man is a bit overwhelmed with his impulsive behaviour.
"Well now, let's have a sit first. We haven't discusses about our term...."
Suddenly Verick drawn out his sword towards the old man neck.
"Woaaa..woaah!" The old man was shocked. Several guards there drawn out their sword, while the two knight stand by in their position, as in ready to attack at any time.
"We had a deal already. Give us the girl and you'll get your reward." Verick sternly stated.
"Ye...yes...but, there's a bit of changes...of our deal." The old man stammered.

Bang!
Verick furiously grip the old man clothes and then pushes the old man to the wall.
"What changes?" Verick fiercely question.

Meanwhile, in the next back door, the Nebun Mother is also attending to another guest.
"Well, I have been waiting for you." She welcome two men wearing a devil looking mask in black attire inside. Looking at them, it could be seen that they are not commoners because of the aura around them.
"Come have a sit." She invite them to sit.
The man wearing a black mask took a sit. While the other wearing golden black mask just stand beside.
"I know that you had an offer for the girl." The Nebun Mother said.
"An offer if she is dead." The man wearing the black mask said.
"Yes, but it seems that you have quite a competition." The Nebun Mother took a sip of her glass of wine as she laid back on her sit calmly. Seemingly not intimidated by the man strong aura.
"Someone wishes to pay a sum of money, that's quite a price than you can offer to me. More importantly, she seems to be a very important person to that person." The Nebun Mother smiled as she looked at the man.
But the man in the black mask just remains quiet and the other stood by silently.

As for the next room....

"Someone offer a bigger price? For her death?" Verick couldn't believe what he's hearing. Knowing that someone had wanted his sister death.
Couldn't calm down, he punches the old man face.
"Ahhhh!"
The guards then took a charge towards Verick. But Sir Nathan and Sir Bolt easily defeated them without drawing out their sword.
Verick brutally punches the old man till he bleeds.
"Please...please...stop...I begged you..." The old man cried with his face bleed and his nose broken.
Verick pull the old man towards him.
"You better tell me, what the hell did you do to her?!"
"No...we...we didn't do anything..." The old man told him.
Still not convinced, Verick pick up his sword, holding it into the old man neck.
"Please....please....I swear to God! We didn't do anything! She still alive and we keep her safe! We...we...just try to negotiate with...with a new term...if...if you willing to give us more than we had been offered." Terrified for his life, the old man told him the truth.
"Well our offered are still the same! You better give me the girl now! Or your head will be the prize." Verick threatened the old man.
Scared silly, the old man looks towards the guards that was taken down. All of them look at eachother, not knowing what to do. Seeing that, Verick came to realisation.
"You're not the owner."
The old man looks shock as Verick figure it out.
"Lead me to your master!" He ordered.
