The woman was stunned by a slap, kneeling on the ground, her face filled with disbelief: "You hit me... you... you actually hit me?!"
The man, though trembling with fear, spoke with a sullen tone: "We can't feel the power of the Gilded Dominator now, and without enough Noble Gold Coins... we'll die in the end!"
"We need gold coins! Coins imbued with the presence of the Goddess of Wealth! And only Azaenn Castle has coins with that goddess's presence!"
The more the man spoke, the deeper his frown grew: "But there's a powerful occupation there [Butler], and now there's a Dominator as well... we can't possibly break in!"
The short, plump middle-aged woman seemed dazed by the man's slap and just listened to him speak.
The man paced back and forth, his tone heavy: "What to do... what to do... what to do..."
"Azaenn... damn Azaenn..." The woman sitting on the ground glared fiercely at the man, who ignored her, and then sat back, cursing Azaenn.
