There weren''t many people that Orin would call his buddy throughout Kardon Province.


    Chagu was a department chief, so he was not an idiot.


    He knew that he messed up badly when he heard that.


    He quickly bowed to Wilbur out of panic and said, "I''m sorry, sir. I''m sorry for acting out of line earlier. I offer my sincere apology and hope that you can forgive me."


    Chagu was scared out of his wits.


    He did not expect the random young man he met at the elevator to be Orin Campbell''s buddy.


    That was an even lower chance of that happening than him winning the lottery.


    Moreover, his tone was bad back then.


    He felt like he was doomed.


    Chagu felt more afraid when he thought about that, and his legs trembled uncontrobly.


    Quill was also stunned by fear.


    ''Orin Campbell''s buddy? No way. There''s no way we''re that unlucky. His outfit is cheap, and he''s just an ordinary young man. How can he be Orin Campbell''s buddy? No one will believe it,'' Quill thought.


    However, Orin was standing there, so he had no choice but to believe it.


    Quill was panicking and almost peed his pants.


    Wilbur patted Chagu on the shoulder and smiled, then said, "Sit down and have a drink with me."


    "Sir, how would I dare to? Please, have a seat," Chagu offered with a long face.


    "Hm?" Wilbur sounded displeased.


    Chagu trembled and snuck a nce at Orin.


    Orin stood with hands behind his back, looking at Chagu nonchntly.


    Chagu cried internally and slowly sat down.


    Wilbur picked up the alcohol bottle on the table and said, "This looks nice. Let me pour a drink for you, Chief Law."


    Wilbur filled the ss in front of Chagu and picked it up. He passed it to Chagu.


    Chagu epted the ss with trembling hands. He did not know what to do.


    "Drink up. Are you disrespecting me?" asked Wilbur nonchntly.


    Chagu flinched and hurriedly chugged the drink.


    "That''s more like it."


    Wilbur smiled and poured a drink for Quill too. He smiled and asked, "Mister Lonare, how about you have a drink too?"


    Quill was trembling. He felt a chill down his spine, and he had cold sweat all over.


    "Sir, y-you..." Quill could not speak properly.


    Wilbur passed the ss to Quill.


    Fear and pressure overwhelmed Quill. He epted the ss while trembling. Wilbur asked nonchntly, "How''s the discussion on the business deal?"


    "Uhm... Sir, we haven''t begun yet," replied Quill in a frightened tone.


    Wilbur smiled and said, "I see. Go ahead, guys. I won''t disturb you any further."


    Then, Wilbur turned and walked to Orin. He said, "Mister Campbell, I''m done with my toast. Let''s go."


    Orin nodded. He nced at Quill and Chagu before he left with Wilbur.


    Quill and Chagu fell limply on their chairs after Orin and Wilbur left.


    Chagu finally calmed down after a long while. He scolded Quill harshly.


    "You f*cker! Do you know that you doomed me?"


    Quill was well aware that he made a huge mistake.


    Forget the business deal, he was lucky to leave Seechertown alive.


    "What should we do, Chief Law?" asked Quill in a massively panicked voice.


    Chagu was so angry that he almost had a heart attack. He clenched his chest and


    shook his head. He said, "It''s over, I''m over. It''s so over for you too."


    "You have to think of something, Chief Law!" yelled Quill while crying.
