Chapter 68: Vortex (10)_3

Schwaidnitz picked up the cup and "gulp, gulp," drank every last drop of water.

"Drinking water is useless." Kaman commented expressionlessly: "He needs to drink some alcohol."

Anna wanted to laugh but couldn't, and could only helplessly glance at Kaman.

"It's a habit." Kaman apologized, lowering his head. He thought for a moment, walked to the side of the panicked clerk, supported the latter's shoulder, and softly reassured: "Don't worry, you're very safe here."

Nobody knew if it was the priest's words that took effect, but Schwaidnitz truly calmed down and his answers became more fluent.

From business dealings to debt situations, Anna quickly finished asking the questions she had prepared in advance. She asked about some newly discovered matters, then nodded to indicate the end of the conversation.

The clerk Schwaidnitz, having received the final payment, escaped as if he had been granted a great reprieve.
