Can we use him?

"Ah! Right! I will give him the message. Please excuse me." The assistant left the two there and hurried off to find the boss. He knew it could be bad. No one had ever refused him. Even the Nobles didn't dare to deny him.

'How can this man be so courageous, or is he stupid?' So he thought as he knocked on the office door that led to the boss.

"Come in."

The assistant entered the room and kneeled on one knee in front of the man, his head down.

"Weren't you the one with the strong person?"

"Yes, sir."

"Then where is he? Why didn't you bring him here?"

"He de-declined."

"What?" the room was silent for a while before the man began to laugh.

A malicious grin appeared on his face when he stopped laughing. "An arrogant one. I should teach him some manners. Hmph! What else did he say?"

"He said he would meet you if you offer him hard liquor, otherwise he would meet you an hours walk after sunset outside of the city tomorrow."
