Kowtow And Apologize!

William looked down to see that the medallion worn around his neck had disappeared, though the necklace portion was still there. Grotnet was looking at him seriously, inspecting William for physical signs of poisoning.

"I don't know. It must have fallen off." he answered simply.

"Fallen off?! That cost me thirty Mana Stones! How am I supposed to recover my stock of medallions? Also, how are you still alive?" he looked at William suspiciously at the end, realizing the boy didn't seem injured in the slightest despite not having a medallion.

William shrugged, "I don't know. Here, take these as compensation." he took out thirty Mana Stones and gave them to Grotnet.

Grotnet accepted the Mana Stones and nodded, slightly surprised to see William was carrying so many Mana Stones at once and could casually take them out. He became a little greedy, but something about William's aura told the man that it wouldn't be wise to mess with the boy.
