"I literally improved your trade! How do you not see that's worth a couple of Ether Pebbles?!" Kyle shouted with anger from his car.
"Sir, we didn't ask for you to do that," the guard captain said. "We appreciate that you used your Fire Ether to melt the roads and make them more walkable, but such services have to be pre-approved. You can't just do a service without an agreement and expect to be paid."
Kyle pointed at the flat and hard roads. "Look at this! This was all just loose sand and pebbles before I got here! You telling me that I did all of this for nothing?"
The guard captain sighed. "Sir, you can submit a request to the city administration for payment of rendered services, but I can't pay you right now."
Kyle snorted. "Fine, have it your way then."
"Sorry that I couldn't help, sir," the guard captain said.
Kyle just snorted again.
Then, he put his car in reverse, made a 270-degree turn, and drove around the city.
