"I am the Deputy Speaker of the Upper House. Do you really think I can be bought with filthy money?"
"You are my friend, and your friend is naturally my friend as well."
Cullen spoke with the air of someone imparting worldly wisdom.
"How can friendship possibly be measured with something as vulgar as money?"
After saying that, he gave the attendant beside him a meaningful glance.
The attendant immediately raised his chin and extended a hand toward Kade.
Kade smiled.
"Yes, yes. Everything you said is absolutely correct."
At the same time, he handed the gold coins over to the attendant.
He bowed slightly.
"It was my mistake earlier."
"Friends really should not talk about money."
"May I ask whether you are ready to leave now?"
Cullen nodded in satisfaction.
"Of course. Lead the way."
Naturally, he had no intention of refusing.
After all, that was one thousand gold coins.
If all he had to do was meet someone, why would he turn down the money?
