"Don't worry."
Xirui's eyes suddenly widened.
"You guys want to default on your debt!?"
"Haha~, I never said that. It's just that since it's a deal, it's common sense to wait until you see the results before paying the balance, right?"

"Don't worry, as long as we confirm that everyone in that mansion has been poisoned, we will reunite you and your son as soon as possible."
"... Could you tell me how long it will take for you to confirm?"
