Meanwhile, Julius, who heard that Alex got Five thousand gold coins knew he was lying but still decided to tease him.
''My good son-in-law. Recently-" Julius, who was rubbing his hands together, hadn't finished talking when Alex sneered and said.
''Sorry, this money is for our kids, Artemia and me.''
Julius and his shadow were all slack-jawed. They did not know how to react to this.
They went wide-eyed. They could not believe Alex to be this shameless.
Julius couldn't say a word for a long time before finally chuckling; he decided to stop as he would gain nothing if he kept up; this son-in-law of his was too clever.
''How much do you want? Time is the essence; we must act fast.''
Alex nodded; Julius didn't lie; they needed to move fast if they wanted to earn big money. He would not complicate things for his father-in-law; after all, they are all family.
''20%. I won't ask for much.''
