With the expansion of the School of Eternal Knowledge in mind, Yoze wasn't planning on letting his greed harm his future.
"Gaining an extra 20 silver does not compare to the cost of delaying my plan to spread the word of the School of Knowledge and gaining additional money to buy more expensive supplies."
Blood Stepper did not know Yoze's thoughts, so he assumed that Yoze didn't trust him enough. In his mind, everything could be resolved with enough money.
This was how he had escaped capture on numerous occasions, so he didn't plan on quitting now that his and his brother's lives were on the line. Gritting his teeth in frustration, he increased the amount he was offering.
"60 silver! If you let us go, I will pay you 60 silver!"
"Not interested," Yoze said slowly.
"80 silver then!"
"..."
