A ton of money to be paid that don't have.

"Hehehe, you want to know our price ?", said the female bandit laughting at Catherine and Co. "Y-Yes..", Catherine replied.

"Well in that case, that would be 100.000 $ of gold, thank you!", demanded the bandit smiling, upon which, Catherine's eyes went full wide.

"What ?!, that much!!", she asked shocked, for she didn't expect for the amount to be so high.

"Yes, you are an official convoy of the Church of Seiros, aren't you ?, you should have that money with you!", the female bandit said. "Ugh...fine..., but leave lady Rhea free first...", Catherine asked.

"Alright then", the bandit said as she left Rhea off her grip "But you better paid it quickly unless you want me to raise the price!", she threated.

"Let's just count how much we have...", said Rhea to the knights, upon which, they spent the next few minutes gathering all money and jewels that they had inside the convoy and delivered them in front of the bandits. "There, satisfied ?", Shamir asked.

"Hmmnn...let's see....", the bandit said a she counted the money, "Hey!, this is only 80,000 $, you are still 20.000 $ short!", she exclamed annoyed.

"But we don't have anything more with us!", Catherine pleaded as she tried to reason with her.

"Well, if you don't have the money, just give us your other valuables...", the bandit replied as she looked down upon the convoy.

"Like what ?", Catherine asked.
