Meron was dumbfounded when he heard that . He could not believe he just had a fight with a random person, got seriously injured, just because the person took it upon himself. He felt like crying right now.
Sigh!
"Okay."
"Huh?...Okay?" Cramton was confused.
"Yeah...As this forest and all its property is yours and the king wants what's yours, then why don't I take you to the capital and you discuss and negotiate with the king so that you come into a considerable deal. One that is favorable to both of you," Meron said.
He want to have a back-and-forth with this man, so, the best thing to do was to transfer the problem, cough! uhamm, I mean the man to the king and contractor; King Nisha.
He doesn't get in trouble and the king gets what he earns, win-win situation
'It is just as they say, killing two chicks with one rod~ I think...Aaagh, who cares about the fucking dead men's words? As long as they serve their purpose and I understand,' Meron thought to himself.
Meanwhile,
"Hey Mefy, what do you think?" Cramton asked Mefter.
"I thought you would decide on your own since it involves you," Mefter replied.
"Well, we are together in this, so you get to take part in the decision making. Besides, you are the older of us two with better experience," Cramton said in a matter-of-fact tone.
"Hey! Who said I'm fucking old?" Mefter asked in an irritated tone. He didn't even bother to hide it.
"Ain't you?" Cramton asked with a curious voice.
"Well... I'm as old as you, maybe older," Mefter replied.
"Then it's decided. You're the older of us two, so you get to contribute to major decision making processes that affect us both," Cramton said.
"But you're the one in action, not me," Mefter countered.
"Well, since I'M the one in action, I decide that you get to mentor me until I become OP, okay Shifu?" Cramton said.
"Well~, Okay. Let's get done with this first then," Mefter said, "Are you confident in you negotiation skills?"
"I've never had to negotiate," Cramton replied.
Sigh!
"This is gonna be hard, but, it's okay... Then you can just go and demand of something in exchange," Mefter suggested.
"And what if he refuses?" asked Cramton.
"Then you just return and fight every person he sends your way," Mefter said in a flat tone.
"Waste of time," Cramton commented while prickling his ear.
"You are pretty strong, you know. You may take it as training if it helps. You can increase you fighting experience and if possible, your skill arsenal," Mefter pointed out.
Sigh!
"No matter how much I don't wanna agree, you gat a point there, Mefy...Then it is decided. We are going to give their damned king a visit," Cramton said with conviction. He had decided.
"We ar~" Cramton started but then cleared his throat,
"I agree. Take me to see that king of yours," Cramton said to Meron.
"That was fast. It seems to me like you did all that just to meet the king directly without passing through the procedures," Meron said jokingly.
What Meron didn't know was that Cramton had a kind of long conversation with Mefter. The two's conversation had only taken three seconds on the outside world.
Meron misunderstood and Cramton saw no need to correct him. Besides, he was too lazy to do that. He liked his peace and quiet but he couldn't get it due to the nuisance infront of him.
'Aaaah... I really want to test out my new body. I want to know how much better I have become,' Cramton thought.
Just the thought of it made him shudder in excitement. Mefter face palmed when he saw this. He understood very well what Cramton was thinking.
Sigh!
'Too bad I have to visit his king.'
"Hey man, I still haven't known your name," Meron suddenly said.
"Cramton...Cramton Kriste," Cramton said in his usual flat tone.
