Chapter 61: Chapter 61 - Happy and Rich
\'I\'m pretty sure his friend might have helped him out in many a situations. No wonder he listens to everything the guy tells or signals him to do.\'
"Alright then, I\'ll tell you why I gave you so much."
Making my back lower I got a little closer to them and indicated them to come closer too.
Kade already got in position to hear what I had to say. Even his greedy friend got curious at what I was about to say and he also got closer to me.
As we got in position I spoke to them in a childlike low voice.
"I...."
Both of them brought their ears forward for more info.
The suspense getting to them as they couldn\'t handle the tease so much.
".... be friends with you guys."
Hearing what I said they couldn\'t understand it.
"...What?"
"I said I want to be friends with you guys." I finally said it.
"....."
".....Why?"
"Because you guys look like nice guys and I wanted to be friends with you."
"Oh! Okay" Hearing me both of them got a little confused but still believed what I said.
They truly believed what I said as Kade smiled and even the dumb one began to smile a little. Looking at their faces I couldn\'t take it anymore as I burst out laughing.
"Hahaha haha haha"
Both of them looked at me with narrowed eyes and didn\'t know what happened for me to laugh so much. A second ago we were talking about friendship and in the next moment I burst out laughing, They couldn\'t get the true context out of it as they asked me.
"Uhh, Whats so funny?" Ashe asked.
"Oh! you still didn\'t get it, huh. You guys are so gullible."
My answer didn\'t gave them the answer they understood.
"Okay, looking at your face tells me you still don\'t understand. Alright tell me, for what reason would I try to be friends with the guys who I am making a deal with?" I asked them a genuine question.
"W-Why?" As they didn\'t know the answer so they again asked me.
"Well the answer is I wasn\'t." There faces couldn\'t get any more strange as I could see literal question marks hanging above them.
I again asked them another question this time one that they understood.
"Why would a sane person try to be friends with the guys in the security or more precisely the military department."
Both of them thought and in just a moment their faces morphed into one that spoke of anger and disgust. Ashe looked at me with both clear understanding and anger as he said.
"Connections"
"Correct"
"Now... Don\'t look at me like that. You guys don\'t believe that you guys are honest people now do you? Or did you forget the reason why there\'s a big bag of cash lying in front of you."
My words brought them back to reality as they stopped looking at me like a criminal and start becoming a little more guilty as they should.
Looking at their guilt-ridden face I had no choice but to asked them "Now don\'t tell you me you guys are just realizing what you\'re about to do. So do you want me to take the cash back that\'s in front of you."
They suddenly had a moment of relapse and didn\'t know what to do. Looking at them I knew that this might become a little problematic if I didn\'t do something about so I took a drastic measure.
"It looks like you guys are having seconds thoughts then. Huh so that means I could conclude that this deal is off then." I said and tried to take the bundle of cash back.
But Ashe stopped me quickly and said "NO STOP!" he said and I looked at him with a different gaze.
Realizing that he shouted me, he began to apologize to me.
"O-Oh I\'m sorry sir, I didn\'t try to mean that, What I wanted to say was that \'Please wait a second\'." Ashe corrected himself as he told me.
"Why should I, when you guys are clearly having second thoughts about this"
"W-Well I\'m sorry for my idiotic friend he\'s just... a little curious that\'s all... But you have to see it from our side as well. Anyone would get a little curious getting so much money at the same time."
"Hmm...You guys are right about that... maybe I should start thinking about your circumstances a little bit as well" What I said gave back his hope but I quickly said to him. "But what I want to know is that whether the deal is on or... off."
Ashe quickly replied to me "Of Course! Of course it\'s on why would it be off. The deal was never off to began with."
I didn\'t believe his words but looked towards his friend who still was contemplating whether to take the money or not.
Ashe looked at where I was looking and quickly nudged his friend out of his deep thoughts and said to him "The deal is on.... RIGHT!" He told his friend with a look that said he had no choice in the matter.
Kade to simply sighed before nodding to his friend and said to me "Yes, it\'s on. Please forget what I asked before I just.... had some thoughts."
"Alright no big deal, people would occasionally start to have some thoughts, that isn\'t something we can truly hold off or anything. What matters is that the deal is on and I get to be happy and... you guys get to be happy and rich." I told them with a smile and with all the past seriousness now gone.
Both of them smiled but Ashe\'s smile felt like light from a warehouse as he smiled so brightly and he said "Yes Yes, that\'s what all matters. Both of us get to be happy and the young master also gets to be happy."
"You guys can take the money and divide it any way you want.
Well ...Why don\'t we shake hands and conclude the deal then." I suggested to them as both of them nodded and got up to conclude the deal.
I also got up and I shook hands with both the guys and we concluded the deal. Then they started putting all the money inside the bag and got up.
They walked towards the gate and quietly spoke of how much they had benefited from this small ordeal and how one was going to save it for future needs and the other one telling him to spend it on hot babes.
But before they could get out of the carriage I stopped them.
"Hey Guys! I might need more help from you two in the future so... do remember me if we ever met."
"Of course sir, if you ever need anything just call us over at the 32nd military branch."
"How do I call you when I don\'t even know your names yet."
