Location- Southern Region, Blossom district, Sky Blossom City, Southern Watch Military Camp
[Calling Jill Norley…]
Now that the southern watch had asked Susan and others to stay in the sky-blossom city until their investigation into them ended, they would not be moving to the central academic region anyti soon.
So as I made my way to where the floaters were detained to et Susan and others, I called Jill to tell her of the change of plans.
"Wyatt, did you miss ?" Jill answered my call playfully. She seed to be in a good mood.
"Yeah, sure. And listen, change of plans, my people will not be able to make it to the border. Don't ask why, it is a long story. But I need your help with sothing else?" without wasting ti on small talk I directly spoke about the matter at hand.
"Sure, as long as I get paid I don't care if your people don't show up," Jill said implying that it doesn't matter if I make use of her service since I had already ordered it, I need to pay for it.
"Jill, don't be greedy," I would let it slide if the price for Jill's service were low, but they weren't I would be stupid to pay for sothing I did not even use.
"I am being greedy? You are being unreasonable, do you know how many people I had to bride to get the permit for your people to move to the central academic region?" Jill continued to demand I pay for the service that I did not even use.
"Jill, do you take for a fool? The university gives temporary permits to the student or staff's relatives and friends, why would you have to bribe soone for their permit," I asked in doubt.
"Hello, Wyatt, you are not a student yet," Jill said with a sneer.
"But, you are a staff there. You could use your quota to let my people move to the central academic region temporarily until I beca a student of the morningstar university. There is no need for you to bribe soone for sothing as simple as that," I pointed out the hole in Jill's defense as to why she should be compensated despite having done nothing.
"Well, I don't know, I did what you asked to and you need to pay for it, it's not my problem that you could not make use of it," At last Jill showed her true colors.
"Nope, I am not giving you a penny nor will I be doing any business with you in the future. Goodbye," just as I was about to hang up the call, Jill hurriedly said, "Don't hang up, don't hang up, you win."
"What's that I heard?" I asked just to get Jill to repeat herself.
"You don't have to pay. Man, you are not like other guys in the university. If it was them they would have paid before I asked them," What Jill was trying to say was that all her male colleagues were simp.
"Whatever, I need you to help admit to the morningstar university?" I spoke about my second purpose for calling Jill.
"Weren't you joining the college through the recomndation of the southern royal family? What changed?" Jill asked curiously.
"Don't act like you don't know anything and by the way, thank you for the card it was very helpful," I knew Jill knew more than what she showed considering that her timing to give the devil rchant card disguised as an equal exchange card was impeccable.
"You caught , I heard what happened. If you don't mind asking what happened to Agent Lois?" Jill asked casually.
"Sure, I will tell you but for an appropriate price," Hearing Jill suddenly bring up Lois, I knew she planned to get the information on Lois's whereabouts from and sell it to whoever was willing to pay for it.
"I thought we were friends," Jill protested and blad for being money minded and a bad friend.
"Rember the words you said to when I ca to you asking for help first," I still rember when I asked Jill to help move Susan and others to the central academic region she said, 'She doesn't mix pleasure and business.'
"Fine, tell Agent Lois's location and I will help you admit into the morningstar university," Jill no longer bickered and directly stated the price.
"Not happening, I know that Agent Lois is worth more than that," I did not bother to negotiate with Jill because I did not plan to give information on Lois's location to Jill and also, not that it mattered, Jill did not seem to be genuine with the offer she made.
"Wyatt, don't be greedy," Jill said as if I was taking advantage of her.
"I am being greedy? You have been trying to take advantage of since the beginning," I really hated Jill's guts right now.
"What do you an I am trying to take advantage of you? Is that what you think of ?" Jill asked exaggeratedly and even choke a little as she spoke to add a little dramatic flare.
"Yes, that is what I think of you. And if you continue like this, I will hang up the call and contact soone else," I warned Jill to stop trying to take advantage of .
"Soone else, if there were soone else you would not have co to ," Jill said with confidence.
"Oh, honey, there is always soone else," Jill was right I did not have any other contacts in the central academic region. But she does not know that she was bluffing.
"Whatever, my service prices are very cheap and will not change," Jill did not budge.
"Do as you see fit. I don't need you to admit to morningstar university anymore, I will wait and take the university exam like regular students," I said taking the only leverage Jill had, and was about to hang up on her however she imdiately cried, "
"Hold up, don't hang up, we can discuss sothing…"
