At this moment in Jingmen, the sun shone bright and resplendent.
I first engaged in conversation with Eldric. This time, they had exchanged chips worth seventy to eighty thousand dollars. I did not take a single cent; instead, I intended to offer him an additional two hundred thousand as a token of appreciation for his efforts. However, Eldric adamantly refused my offer.
Moreover, he specifically mentioned that the brothers of the beggar's sect could remain in Jingmen, always ready to heed my call. I declined, opting instead to send them back to Harbei City for the time being.
Once Eldric and his companions departed, I expressed my gratitude to Edmund and his daughter. After exchanging a few pleasantries, Edmund clapped my shoulder and said with a smile, "You performed admirably today, displaying a bit of your uncle's flair. However, there is one aspect in which you differ from him..."
"How so?" I inquired curiously.
