The Guildmaster had definitely thought that Lucien was going to accept the offer. One thousand gold coins was a fortune. It was enough for a peasant to survive for five years without lifting a finger. And yet, he would be paid such an outrageous amount every month.
No player in their right mind would refuse such an offer!
He blinked in disbelief.
"Player Cien, perhaps you didn't—"
Lucien raised his hand to stop the man and shot him a reprimanding look.
"I wasn't deaf when you said it the first time. You might think you can outplay my wits, but you can't. If this is what the reward is going to be, then I'm sorry—I have to decline."
The Guildmaster gulped.
"Player Cien… it seems you are mistaken. This is really not a diffi—"
Lucien exhaled and slowly stood up.
"Then I shall be on my way."
He had stepped away from his chair when the man called out.
"Player Cien! Please… wait."
Lucien smirked before turning back to the Guildmaster with a stone-cold expression.
