But the man in the black mist suddenly let out a strange laugh.

A wall of inky-black mist formed around the man in the dark blue robe.

"Are you threatening me?"
The black mist roiled violently, visibly furious!
The man in the dark blue robe shrugged.
"Three days from now, same place. Bring the goods! We'll make the exchange, and then we'll owe each other nothing!"
"Deal!"
