Not long after, Bukku skillfully manipulated the situation and managed to get Asero out of the mine without any trouble. His handling of the matter was clean and very clever. This was proof of just how much money he had received from Jared.
"I don’t understand why you're interested in such a person, but I hope everything goes well for you," Bukku said with a constant grin. It was a natural reaction, given the enormous sum of money he had just obtained.
“Excuse me, Supervisor,” A voice interrupted.
“Yes?” Although Jared had already shifted to a casual tone, Bukku paid no mind. To him, someone with money was always above him, while those without it were beneath him.
“I'll give you another pouch of gold coins if you'll grant me one wish,” Jared said.
“What is it?”
“I would just like to be hit once. Just one punch to my face, that's all I ask.”
The moment Bukku heard that, his mind raced quickly. Although Jared had quite a muscular build, he thought that a single punch wouldn’t be a problem. And for the price of that, getting three years' worth of money? Honestly, he felt he could take ten punches if it meant that much.
