"I'm willing to pay compensation! As long as you let me go, I'll agree to anything!"
Wang Tao caught the Bandage Ghost's implication and hurried to make his position clear.
At those words, greed flashed in the Bandage Ghost's eyes, and he barked sinisterly, "Then just pay me 500 Ghost Coins."
As the Bandage Ghost spoke, he even acted as though he were giving Wang Tao a tremendous bargain.
But his words made Wang Tao's face turn deathly pale.
To Wang Tao, 500 Ghost Coins was an enormous sum.
Even if he pooled everything he owned, it would fall far short.
"Sir, I only have 50 Ghost Coins on me."
Wang Tao forced himself to speak, but his answer immediately sent the Bandage Ghost into a rage.
Expecting him to let the matter drop for a mere 50 Ghost Coins was nothing but a pipe dream!
"Bug, since you have no money, you'll pay with your life!"
As the Bandage Ghost spoke, he looked ready to attack.
At the sight, Wang Tao trembled with fright and hurriedly shouted, "Don't be rash! We can talk this over. I can write you an IOU and pay you back when I have the Ghost Coins."
Even Lin Luo, standing nearby, silently shook his head at that response.
Wang Tao really was stupid enough. Intimidated by the Clinic Owner, the Bandage Ghost clearly didn't dare kill Wang Tao. If Wang Tao had bargained, he could have reduced the number of Ghost Coins demanded.
But if he signed an IOU, the interest would only keep compounding, and he could forget about ever paying off the debt.
It went just as Lin Luo had expected.
The Bandage Ghost, who had been raging a moment earlier, immediately changed his expression. He patted Wang Tao on the shoulder
