Thom, who was standing beside him, stared at the scene in front of him with his mouth agape.
Thom didn't understand why the casino guards, who had previously been unkind to him and Bae En and were shouting to kill, suddenly changed their attitude after Bae En said a few words.
However, Thom also felt a little bit of the pressure that was emitted from Paine. This was something that Thom had never felt from Paine before.
Ever since Bae En became a member of the guards, he had become different.
Looking at Baen's back, Tom felt a little upset.
What happened next naturally became simple. After all, Baen and Tom were members of the guards, so the casino had to give them some face.
The reason why he didn't give Thom face before was because Thom was too noisy.
After the casino guards reported, the casino still chose to receive Paine and Tom. The general manager of the casino would receive them. As for the boss of the casino, it was naturally impossible for him to come out personally.
After all, Paine and Tom were not famous members of the guards, and this year's guards were the worst and most perfunctory ones in the history. If the casino boss wanted to receive them personally, he would have to be at least at the level of Barot.
Under the arrangement of the casino, Paine and Tom sat down with the general manager of the casino. A small mustached man who looked very smart sat down in a room specially used to entertain people.
Baen picked up the teacup in front of him and took a sip.
It was completely incomparable to the tea in the world of the Crimson Eye.
After silently giving a bad review in his heart, Bae En quietly swallowed the tea in his mouth.
"First of all, let me introduce myself. My name is Paine, and his name is Tom.”
"Here, I apologize for my friend Tom's recklessness.”
"I hope you can understand my friend's anxiety about being taken away because of someone he cares about.”
Paine did not act like Thom, shouting and shouting as if he was worried about Rheia. Instead, he used his identity as a senior to apologize for Thom's previous inappropriate behavior.
As for why he did this?
Actually, Baen himself was not very clear about it. In any case, when he was in the world of the Crimson Eye, he had dealt with the upper class like this. Now that he had integrated the projected memories, Baen also had this habit.
"I understand."
"We can understand why this little brother Tom is worried about his friend. If possible, we don't want to be the bad guy.”
"After all, that little girl's brother owes us money that his family definitely can't gather.”
The mustached man looked at Pei En in surprise, as if he did not expect Pei En to be so experienced.
Originally, the mustached man was already mentally prepared to face the two young boys shouting at him. The impression that Tom had left on the mustached man was really not too good.
Since Bae En was so experienced, the following matters did not need to be so troublesome.
In any case, he was just being reasonable. He definitely had to pay back so much money he owed the casino. If he couldn't pay it back, it wasn't a common thing to use his sister as a scapegoat.
"Yes, I know. It's only right to pay back what you owe!”
"But I want to know how much money Bert owes.”
"If it's possible, I want to take over Bert's debt and repay it. How about that?”
Baen nodded, expressing his understanding of the mustached man's words.
The casino had its own code of conduct. Bert had lost so much money in the casino that it would be a lie to say that the casino had not set up a trap. However, most of the responsibility was on Bert himself. Bert had brought this upon himself.
If the one who was captured by the casino was not Leah but Bert, Paine would not have cared about this at all.
Of course, if Rheia begged him, Paine would still care.
It couldn't be helped. After all, Rheia was Paine's savior. Paine was never a good person, but it was different for people who truly cared about him. Paine was willing to give up something for Rheia.
"Of course you can."
"If someone pays back the money, everything on our side can be discussed.”
"If the guards are responsible for the debt, I still think you have the ability to pay it.”
"Bert owes us about two hundred gold coins, which is almost ten years of salary for your guards.”
"How about this, I'll make the decision. As long as you return the money, I'll immediately release that little girl. Moreover, I won't count your interest during this period.”
Seeing that Bae En was so understanding, the man with the mustache nodded in admiration. He was not like the hothead on the other side at all. He rushed into the casino foolishly and broke the rules.
"Two hundred gold coins?"
" Alright, but I need to take Rheia away now..."
Two hundred gold coins was not a small number.
However, if 200 gold coins could solve the problem, Baen wouldn't mind spending money to resolve it.
200 gold coins was a huge sum for Baine, but he believed that he could definitely raise 200 gold coins in a short time with his cheat.
Just the prey that Baen sold every day was worth nearly half a gold coin.
One gold coin was enough for a family of three to live on for three months. If they were frugal, it was possible for them to survive for six months or seven months.
From this, one could see how well the guards were treated, and why Rheia's family, which was relatively good compared to ordinary people, could not afford Bert's gambling debts.
Even if Rheia's father was a famous blacksmith and had a surplus every year, it was still impossible for him to have 200 gold coins.
However, what the mustached man said next made the fake smile on Baen's face disappear instantly. His eyes shot out a sharp light that made one's heart palpitate.
"No, no, no, young man. You might have misunderstood something.”
"We won't return that little girl to you before you pay off your debt.”
"I'm doing this for your own good. If you calculate the interest of 200 gold coins, you won't be able to pay it back in your lifetime, even if you're the viscount's guards.”
"As the price for the interest exemption, the little girl will stay here with us as the interest paid every day.”
"Don't worry, I definitely won't let the little girl starve.”
