บท 378: I’ve Been Duped! ...Actually, I’ve not been duped!          

"Mr. Sidal, transfer forty million to Mr. Lordim"

Sidal sent forty million, Ezra sent ten million from his side, making fifty million.

It was an astronomical amount that more than doubled the estimated budget.

Despite this, Lordim was confused.

"The ingredients alone cost forty-five million, yet you sent fifty million? What about the remainder of my commission? Or do you not intend to have me work for free?"

Ezra clapped. "Exactly"

Lordim gave him a strange look before his face morphed into realization.

"This job is going to be counted as the first of the twenty-five free orders we agreed upon" Ezra clarified. 

"The fifty million is for the ingredients alone, I've added the extra five million for comfort. Surely, with this much, I can assume that at least sixty elixirs are guaranteed?"

Taking a deep breath, Lordim nodded.

He now realized that he had been duped!
