The Medallion

"Well, if it isn't Dillan the tightwad," Esteban remarked as he stared at Dillan with contempt in his eyes.

"Ha-ha! You are still humorous as ever, Esteban. I may love money so much, but I am willing to spend it when necessary. Calling me a tightwad is a bit too exaggerated," Dillan replied with an awkward smile.

"Oh, is that so? Then, surely you won't mind paying up for the medical fees that you owe me from before. That is ten thousand Shura Coins in total," Esteban said with a raised eyebrow.

"Ten thousand? Was it that big? Esteban, I think you are asking for too much!" Dillan retorted as his expression changed drastically.

"If you think that it is expensive, then I don't want you asking me for medicines again later." Esteban snorted coldly.

"All right. All right. I will pay up," Dillan answered hastily as he begged.

"Come to think of it. I've been quite short of several kinds of medicines recently, and it's actually quite difficult for me to collect them. However, I guess you have the resources to get them for me," Esteban insinuated.

"Well, I could do it. But how about the cost?" Dillan asked quickly.

"Fine. It will be deducted from what you owe me!" Esteban answered sternly.

"Okay! I will send whatever you need to the Ghost Palace later." Right after making an agreement with Esteban, Dillan urged the driver of the chariot to leave in a hurry.

"Who is that guy?" Rocky asked Esteban as soon as the man in the chariot left.

"He is the Minister of Finance that works under Leader Gilbert. He is the one responsible for all financial affairs within the leader's jurisdiction. Moreover, as you've heard what I say, he's well-known to be a cheapskate. He always takes advantage of ordinary people, so obviously, many people dislike him. However, because of his royal status, no ordinary citizen would dare to offend him. In fact, even the leader turns a blind eye to his unjust schemes. Well, he is a very capable minister indeed. Even if his ways are crooked, at least there is enough money to recruit more troops and improve the fighting force," Esteban explained.
