Igor clutched a hundred gold coins and turned to leave.
"Hey, you're leaving just like that?" Thin and Tall Pole just closed the box and hadn't had a chance to ask if he wanted to count the gold coins.
"My task is done, and you've paid me!" Igor spread his hands, not understanding why he should stay.
"You..." For a moment, Thin and Tall Pole was speechless!
"What's wrong, am I not allowed to leave?" Igor scratched his head, showing no fear on his face.
All eyes turned to the silent woman, as if waiting for her commands.
"Let him go then. He's not wrong; his task is complete!" said the smoking old man, speaking on the woman's behalf.
The trio immediately fell silent. Although internally unwilling, there was nothing they could do but exhale in frustration.
"Farewell then!"
With that, Igor walked away without looking back.
Not far away, Igor turned back to check, ensuring no one followed him before quickening his pace.
