Negotiate

While Charles is busy thinking about Gods and Goddesses, Derry arrived outside the temple, he parked his car in the parking lot and walked towards the entrance of the temple.

"This is the first time I am visiting a temple, I wonder how the insides look like"

He said and walked into the temple, as he did he felt a very light and pleasant sensation as if he got blessed.

Derry smiled and walked in to find people everywhere, praying with their eyes closed in front of the statue in front of them, Derry seemed surprised by how many people are so devoted and praying this goddess in front of them.

Derry got curious and looked forward and up to get a full view of this Goddess, as he did so, he paused for a second as he stared at this statue.

Suddenly tears started to roll down his eyes as he saw the statue of this Goddess.

He snapped out and wiped his tears.

"Why the fuck am I crying?"

He asked himself as he is surprised by his own reaction.

Suddenly his phone rand and he saw Jason is calling him, he looked back at the statue.

"Well whatever, something must have gotten into my eye"

He said and picked up the phone.

"Yes Brother"

"Are you there yet?"

Jason asked.

"Yes I am, I just got here, I just need to find the old man now"

Derry answered.

"Ok keep the call on, I want to listen to what he has to say and put on an earbud so I can directly talk to you"

"Ok, now I should find the old man"

Derry said and started to search for the old man, he didn't have to look around for longer because the old man was wearing a very expensive flashy suit which caught Derry's eye because he is a geek for expensive stuff.

"Oh there he is, he must be a man of culture, I can tell by just looking at the way he dresses, I hope one day brother would dress like that and look bad-ass"

Derry said and approached Charles, he went and sat next to him.

"How are you doing old man?"

Derry asked.

"I am doing fine, what's your name Human?"

Charles asked.

"I am Derry, what's yours?"

Derry asked

"You can call me Charles"

Charles said

"So your boss didn't come and sent another human to negotiate"

Charles said.

"We humans are way better, without us you would be wearing that expensive suit, by the way, where did you buy that from?"

"I bought this Suit in North Cobia for 70000 NS"

Charles said.

"Oh nice, but I could get the same suit for 60000 GS here in South Cobia and since the currency is equal you just made a 10000 GS loss"

Derry said with a smug.

"Haha you are an interesting human

"Derry stop talking bullshit and get to work"

Jason said.

Derry smiled and said nothing.

"Ok, so what's the deal?"

Derry asked.

"I thought I will be talking to your boss, I cannot negotiate with you"

Charles said.

"Derry, give an earbud to him, I want to talk"

Jason said.

"Here take this my BOSS wants to talk with you"

Derry said and passed the earbuds to Charles.

"Hello old man, I hope you enjoyed last night"

"I did, thank you for that, but I want to meet you in person to negotiate any further"

"Who said I will negotiate with you, call your lady, I will directly talk with her"

Jason said and chuckled.

Charles is surprised by this, how did Jason know about his lady.

"How did you know?"

Charles asked.

"Well Charles, I not only have my eyes everywhere but also ears, I listen to everything that is happening in Freyton"

Jason said.

"I see, but you are not qualified to talk to My Lady, she is not someone a mere being like you can talk to"

Charles said.

"Listen, Old Man, I don't give a fuck about your bullshit status or your lady's, if you want to negotiate, you can negotiate with Derry, but if you want to negotiate with me, let your Lady do it, as we are the boss around here"

Jason gave a straight answer.

Charles frowned and realized that he is talking to a man who doesn't care about status, just like his Lady, she never cared about status related to someone when doing business.

Charles thought for a second and nodded.

"Ok wait for a second"

He said and made a call to Anuka.

"My Lady"

"Yes Charles, what is it?"

"This man wants to talk directly to you or he won't negotiate"

"Oh interesting, hand over the call"

Anuka said.

Charles nodded and gave the phone to Derry.

"Brother, should I connect it?"

Derry asked

"Yes"

Jason answered.

Derry made a quick connection and connected the two calls.

"Derry let me speak alone with this person"

"If you say so"

Derry said and took off the earbud from his ear and let Jason talk with this woman.
