Kapitel 322: Past dealings

"My… mandate?"

If Leon's face indicated a lack of surprise when Makary mentioned money, the same couldn't be said about his reaction to the second part of his request. 

"That's right," Makary nodded his head. "In a sense, your mandate for us to spend our own money is even more important."

The two men stared at each other, each with a different expression on his face. 

"My… mandate…?" Leon repeated himself, this time putting an even longer pause between his words. 

"That's right." Makary nodded his head. A glint in his eyes hinted at how he was perfectly aware of what this conversation was currently stuck at, yet had no plans of resolving the issue. 

"Would you care to enlighten me what the hell do you mean by my… mandate?" 

Makary heaved a long sigh before turning his eyes to the side and giving me a long, meaningful look.
