Chapter 259 - Hooded Man

As the human town leader, Hanku, approached Greed with a mixture of apprehension and determination, he hoped that his humility and willingness to take responsibility would sway the senior merchant's decision. Despite the looming threat of their lives hanging in the balance, Hanku knew that showing deference and offering compensation might be their only chance for survival.

"Greetings, esteemed senior Merchant," Hanku began, his voice tinged with respect and urgency. "Forgive my earlier rudeness. My name is Hanku, leader of the Blue Crown town. I am prepared to offer compensation for the mistakes of my people and myself."

Hanku's words hung in the air, the weight of their predicament palpable as they awaited Greed's response. The human leader knew that their fate rested in the hands of the enigmatic figure before them, and he could only hope that their offer would be enough to appease him.
