"Hehe, Brother Yi, rest easy on this journey, ol' Leopard isn't always so kind-hearted."
Hearing Yi Chen's agreement, Black Leopard stroked his muttonchop sideburns and burst into hearty laughter.
"Brother Leopard, why not take me along too?" A somewhat unfamiliar, skinny monkey among the patrons couldn't help but speak up.
"Scram, scram, scram, go chill somewhere else, we've got enough hands."
With a keen eye observing the reactions of everyone in the tavern, Yi Chen's lips curled into an odd smirk.
"Brother Leopard, how much gold can we earn at the very least from this trip to the mountain?"
"At the very least this much." The muttonchop-sporting man held up five fingers, laughing proudly, "Five hundred taels of gold."
Soon, the smile on Muttonchop's face froze.
"Brother Leopard, since that's the case, advance me three hundred taels of gold, and I, Brother Yi, will cover tonight's drinks for the tavern!"
"Brothers, Brother Leopard is so generous!"
