Capítulo 569: The Greed that brought disaster

"It all happened many years ago. Back then, I just turned 15 years old, and Elva, Liv, and Tilda were 8, 7, and 6 years old respectively. So I was a teenager who was just learning about life, and they were innocent children."

Fromund said in a low voice, starting his story.

"As you may have realized, we lived in the Lower Ring, we were born there and didn't know much about the Upper Ring, but that hasn't changed much, we try to live our lives. Just the four of us."

Mariel, Zarot, and Nirosh said nothing. They were willing to listen to Fromund for as long as they needed to. They had another half hour, and that was enough for one story and to negotiate the reward.

In a way, Zarot and Nirosh were lucky that Fromund only needed money. Sure, they couldn't pay off his debt in full or solve his problem by force, but they could quickly transfer the required amount to his account. This process would take no more than one minute.
