Predictable Greed

The two youths nodded their heads in approval at Chase's words, but their greedy eyes shifted down towards the two delicious looking fruits in his hand. Both fruits emanated a profound aura, and it was easy to tell that they were wondrous treasures that would greatly aid one's cultivation if consumed.

"Since we're going to be helping you, it's only natural that you pay us back," one of the youths said to Chase. "It seems like you found those two fruits in this final area, so I'm sure they're quite amazing. Why don't you give them to us, and we'll be even."

"What a great Idea Roben," the other youth chimed up, "give us your fruits!" he said to Chase, his words more of a command than a request.
