Johann's response was a snort of mockery. The words of this uninvited guest are too good to be true. "I guess your 'help' is not free, right?"
Dunn couldn't help but give a wry smile at Johann's cynicism. "Sir Johann is good at making jokes. I hope you don't mistake us for a charity organization," he replied.
Dunn's tone was light but laced with sarcasm.
Johann's gaze bore into Dunn's. It was as if the old noble wanted to see what was hidden in Dunn's heart; to see the extent of truth in Dunn's words.
A minute of pure silence passed just like that and the conversation resumed.
"You SIN really come at a convenient time," Johann bitterly said.
"If we are ill-informed, how could we survive in this industry?" Dunn countered. It was a matter-of-fact that can't be denied.
Johann nodded reluctantly. "You're right. So, what price do I have to pay?"
