“…97, 98, 99 and 100. There you go, bro”, Rakeh said as he poured a hundred golden coins into a small bag and passed it to Tydeus.“Are you sure this is complete?” Tydeus asked Rakeh, smiling as he picked up his cup to sip some of his fresh wine.“Of course, you want to count it again?” Rakeh asked curiously.“Nah, never mind. I'm just joking”, Tydeus said as packed his bag of money off the table.“Don't worry; when Sakoh comes back with the balance payment, the calculation will be straightforward”, Rakeh said to Tydeus.“But why is he taking so long?” Tydeus asked Rakeh.“I don't know, he only has one job there, to just collect the balance payment and meet us in this bar. Maybe he's busy playing hide and seek with his little bird again.” Rakeh replied to Tydeus as he gulped some wine off his cup, too.“Or maybe those people are just delaying him”, Tydeus intercepted.“Delaying him?

“Whhhooooaaaaaa!!” The rest of the crowd exclaimed in great shock.

And all of a sudden, great silence took over the entire bar as everybody kept mute waiting for what was coming.Suddenly, two soldiers walked into the bar. They didn't look like ordinary soldiers, with the spear and shield in their hands, the kind of armour they were wearing and the symbol on their shield, they looked like they were from a palace or kingdom.Rakeh immediately signalled Tydeus, this might be a threat or something.The two soldiers came in and stood at the entrance as escorts, which they were; two other soldiers came from the entrance, too, but this time, with someone in their middle.The person was wearing a long black cloak which covered every part of the person's body, and the face was covered with a black hood.Tydeus remained on his seat wondering who it could be. Is he about to be arrested by
