Capítulo 169: Who Calms The Chaos? - Part 8

"Alright," Beam awkwardly got their attention with that single word. The savage men eyed him with glares, to which Beam merely glared back. "I had a plan in place – and that plan was to search the forest. That's crushed, now that Lombard has announced his piece."

There were murmurs from the newly gathered men.

"So that's it then? There's nothing more to do?" Judas said, his arms folded and his eyebrow raised. "Got to say, you could have told me that earlier, before I tried to gather everyone."

"No, they still have a use," Beam said. "My problem at the moment is a lack of information. The problem for you lot, those not directly involved, is coin. How well can I trust these men, Judas?"

Judas grinned. "Well if it's coin you're talking, boy, these lads will dance to whatever tune you'll play, whatever pretty dance you want them to. How much?"

"Mm. I'll give you 1 gold today, if you prove useful and lead them well. For everyone else, 5 silvers," Beam said.
