Belialthorn didn't find it funny but he said nothing, they needed the two heads' cooperation and Percival's opinion didn't change the fact about his rank. The fat man only saw what his eyes showed him.
"Well? What do you say?" Alaric asked.
Percival shrugged. "The way I see it. The raid is a way for you to gather gold for yourself. Are you planning to run away from Valoria? You should know that's not possible. The probability of clearing the raid is fifty-fifty. If you manage to do it then good but if you don't then I lose lots of Hunters. My business will suffer."
Alaric waited, and let Percival drive himself to where he was going. "So I want a guarantee for my loss. You'll pay another five hundred thousands if the raid isn't successful. Also, I can only borrow you the initial five hundred thousands gold for three weeks."
