Chapter 812 The Expensive Price

"Are you worried Nathan might leave for another job?" Daniel asked.

"Not a chance! He won't leave," Perry replied confidently.

"Why not?"

"If Nathan leaves my employ, he won't get the same high salary anywhere else as a driver. Plus, nowhere else will be as comfortable for him as my company."

Perry didn't mention explicitly, but he knew sometimes Nathan would skim a little money here and there when running errands. However, Nathan did it reasonably and never went overboard. Because of this, Perry found Nathan to be a decent guy and had kept him on, trusting him throughout the years.

"So if Nathan is so glued to your company, here's the deal: I'll rescue him, but it'll cost a ten thousand dollar rescue fee, payable by you, Perry. You can then deduct the sum from Nathan's salary over time."

“Alright, alright, Daniel, whatever you say! Just hurry up and save Nathan! That bloody hand is about to pull him over the edge. If he dies, I'll have trouble replaceing a driver as good as him!" Perry urged.

"Don't worry, Perry. With me here, Nathan isn't going anywhere."

With that, Daniel cheerfully walked over to Nathan, who was struggling furiously.

When he reached Nathan, Daniel picked up the tree branch that had fallen to the ground and struck the bloody hand with it.

*Smack!*

With a sharp crack, the bloody hand let out a horrifying wail.

"Ahhhh!"

Then, the hand dissolved into a cloud of blood mist and disappeared into the wind.

Nathan was saved!

“Stand up, Nathan!" Daniel said with a grin.

Nathan got to his feet, looking both frustrated and relieved. "Hick, you earned ten grand just by hitting that hand once?"

"Even though it was just one hit, that hit saved your life! If I hadn't done that, you'd be dead now. Doesn't your life have at least that much value?"

"You... you... that's not fair!" Nathan suddenly realized, "I remember now! When I was scared by that hand, you said earlier it would only cost one grand for a rescue. We agreed on one grand! How did it become ten grand?"

"Because I have the right to change the price!" Daniel replied, nearly causing Nathan to spit blood in frustration.

"You... changing the price? You're just a ruthless profiteer! Do you have any sense of shame?"

"Shame? What good is that? Ten grand can erase all the shame," Daniel chuckled. He then added with a grin. "Nathan, since I just earned ten grand from you, I'll give you a special discount offer." Narugi.com

Nathan eyed him suspiciously, "What discount offer?"

"For an additional one thousand dollars, I'll draw a protection spell on your face. With this spell, I guarantee no more ghosts will bother you on our journey. If they do, I'll take care of them for free as part of my after-sales service!" Daniel explained with a chuckle.
