Derrick felt a shiver run down his spine.
He remembered the absurd costs that had been discussed, and if he based his assumptions on Jack's facial expression right now, they had definitely been blown out of the water.

Our initial estimate of 10 000 iron coins per farm jumped to 25 000, obliterating the budget"
Jack took in a deep breath, and dropped the remaining bomb on Derrick.
