Donkexes casually pulled out a Gold Coin. "Will one of these do?"
The Bullywug king scrutinized the Gold Coin in his hand, then nodded. "We agree."
"So you're just going to give money to these frogs?" Balende grumbled under his breath. "I'm not giving them a single copper!"
"You're in the Blacksmith's Guild now, so why are you still such a cheapskate?" Donkexes said, annoyed. "I'll cover for you, alright? Getting out of this for only thirty Gold Coins is a bargain. If a fight breaks out and people get hurt, the cost would be far greater."
"My money is my money, and no one is taking it for some ridiculous reason!" Balende said, pointing at the ground. "What do you think I slaved away for those humans for?"
The old Dwarf's expression was dead serious, like a Giant Dragon watching its hoard being plundered.
"I don't think there'll be any casualties," Kase said. "Besides, we could probably make some money off these frogs."
