"Are you sure you don't need me to go with you? Or even Balam?"
Raith closed his eyes. Mok Jae-Hwa had asked him this question like ten times in just three minutes and his answer had been the same.
"No, there's no need for that. I promised the old lady that I would do it, that is the content of our bargain... it wouldn't be valid if I take someone along"
"But she should understand. Something has happened to you since you made that bargain, I think you should take Balam at the very least."
Raith lifted his gaze to look at Balam who patiently waited, his eyes begging for an acceptance. Closing his eyes, Raith lowered his gaze and shook his head.
"No can do."
"But..."
"A deal is a deal. Besides, she'll be offering me a whooping amount of two hundred and fifty billion dollars, I can't pass up that opportunity because I am worried about my safety."
