Nero made a mental note to get in touch with a few people that had extra sources on where to find the other rare kinds of Nimbus, he was gonna make sure Zhalla saw the real deal at some point. He swore on camembert that they were real, so he was intending to prove it.
“Yeah, trust me their craft is well worth the wait.” Nero nodded in agreement before getting back to business.
“Smart business move, I just honestly expected him to be enough of an egotist to pay upfront and hound you for results later... Not that he wouldn’t otherwise.” Nero shrugged before hearing Zhalla out further. Obviously she too was something of a master at her craft, so to speak. She knew the ins and outs, and Nero was curious as to how she upped the ante on prices— Scared a few people shitless somehow here and there no doubt. In this case, her source on the cash situation was the bounty themselves, what a weird turn of events! “Yeah, that makes a lot of sense.”
Zhalla had chosen to hear Nero out, he didn’t expect it to be that easy, but given her reaction to some of the things he had mentioned in regards to the Marrowbreaker House’s ruling elite, he could easily guess she had something against them as well... Of course, she would have needed to meet them to get the job, she probably already knew how unpleasant they were. “Simply put, we swindle him, make him think he has everything he wants then pull the wool over his eyes. If he hasn’t changed a single bit whatsoever, I’m pretty certain I know exactly where he keeps his riches.” Nero smirked, pointing to, and subsequently wiggling his ears. “You’d be surprised what knowledge a little kid with super exceptional hearing can obtain. The ultimate goal would be to take everything he has and break down his position of control— embarrass him and his closest allies so completely that they never do any harm to anyone ever again. Pulling this off would also allow anyone that wants to escape the hold Egumel and his cronies have on them to do exactly that.”
Nero held his hands behind his neck in a casual pose, feeling quite smug about what he proposed. “Obviously, you’ll want incentive, so you can have 70% of his wealth, which would be far more than the offer he gave you. The other 30% can go to anyone that needs to escape.”
