Chapter 48 In the Name of the Creditor (1/2)

"Faga, what are you doing at the hospital?"

Since Fagga had already directly called out "Fahdala," Ling didn't deny it outright. Instead, she looked around and breathed a sigh of relief when she found that no one was paying attention to them. She then turned to Fagga and asked him.

"I'm here with my family for a medical appointment. What about you? Judging from the tone of your voices, is Nicole in trouble?"

After a moment's thought, Fagga wondered if he had drunk too much blood at the time?

But it shouldn't be that bad, right? He was quite restrained at the time, otherwise he wouldn't have gone to find Ellen to have sex with him a second time.

"Well, how should I put it... there was a little accident."

Ling scratched the back of her head and smiled somewhat awkwardly.

Beside her, Amby helplessly covered her forehead and said emotionlessly:

“Actually, Nicole woke up not long after we left the cave yesterday. That’s when we found out that you sold your honor to White Heavy Industries. Later, White Heavy Industries came to our Rabbit House and offered us 800,000 dinis as hush money. Nicole was so happy that she fainted.”

Ling quickly added, "The doctor said it was because he was already anemic and weak, and then he suffered a great deal of emotional stress, so..."

Ling didn't continue speaking, but the situation didn't seem optimistic.

But Fagga's attention wasn't on that; instead, he raised an eyebrow, his expression full of surprise.

Elaine, standing beside him, also looked puzzled, tilting her head and asking, "Eight hundred thousand denarii?"

"Yes, 800,000 denarii, White Heavy Industries is very generous."

Ambi nodded, completely oblivious to what Ellen was wondering about.

Well...

Fagar and Ellen exchanged a glance, both understanding the look in each other's eyes, and nodded in unison.

There are some things I'd better not tell her.

"So, now that you have the funds from Baizhi Heavy Industry, you should be able to pay the medical expenses, right?"

Fagar did the math in his head: Bai Zhi Heavy Industry's 800,000, plus the 100,000 he gave, he already had 900,000.

Let's assume the Rabbit House has 200,000 denarii in emergency savings, making a total of 1.1 million denarii, which is enough to cover medical expenses.

Um.

Surely the Rabbit House doesn't even have 200,000 in emergency savings?

Surely not?

However, Anbi slowly shifted her gaze, not daring to meet Fagga's eyes.

Uh...no way?

Fagga and Ellen were so surprised they could hardly speak, never before witnessing the world's diversity so directly.

"Hey hey hey..."

At that moment, Rin suddenly stepped forward and shielded Ambition behind her, explaining apologetically, "Well, you know... we were on TV! The Rabbit House was all the rage for a while. And then... the Rabbit House's reputation among its business partners suddenly soared like a parched land receiving rain, and they all came to discuss economic issues."

Oh, the creditors have come knocking on my door demanding payment.

Fagga nodded knowingly, signaling Ling to continue.

Bell relaxed a little and continued, "Then there's Billy's problem... oh, you know, that big robot in the red coat."

"His repair costs are very high, and with the hospitalization fees for Nicole here, Rabbit House is completely drained of its funds."

"Meow meow meow, even a kitten like me who just joined the Cunning Rabbit House has to pay off my debts!"

A sly voice suddenly rang out, and Rin instinctively turned around to look, saying at the same time, "Nekomata, you're back?"

However, when she turned around, she found nothing, which puzzled Ling.

Did I hear that right?

But the next moment, that cunning voice came from behind the bell again.

"Sigh, back when I was still with the Red Fang Gang, I spent my days wandering through the hollows, helping the elderly in Canvas Alley. I lived a frugal life, but I always managed to save some money to spend."

"But after joining the Cunning Rabbit House, the first thing I did was figure out how to pay off my debts!"

Now Ling realized that she hadn't been mistaken; the cat had simply circled behind her the moment she turned around.

Meanwhile, the cat stood there nonchalantly, arms crossed over its chest, left hand clutching its wallet, right hand pulling out a photo from it, blinking at the laughing Nicole in the picture.

"Sigh, but who can blame me for liking Nicole the most? She's a whole level above mackerel."
