"Tell me slowly, I'm listening."

Glenn looked calm.

The bald man took a few breaths before continuing, "Sir, I know this is very rude for a writer, but I still hope to get your forgiveness. You were away during the few days I went to look for you, and your story was very popular at the time. We were worried that other publishers would get the first chance, so I made this decision on my own. I'm really sorry for the offense I caused you. We are willing to make all the compensation we can. Please don't have any bad feelings towards our publishing house!"

Glenn was a little surprised to see the other party being so humble, but he understood after thinking about it.

Now he is considered a celebrity and is also given the title of writer. He must have a lot of secret fans. A group that can print books and distribute them to bookstores everywhere does not want to offend him at all.

"Let's talk about your compensation first." Glenn said calmly.

"Okay sir, let's go inside and talk."

The bald man took Glenn to a place that looked like an office, except that the floor and the table were filled with piles of documents and papers.

After finding a stool and sitting down, I heard the bald man speak: "Normal writers who submit their works to us can get 60% of the profits after the work is sold. Of course, you are special, so we are willing to give you 70%."

Sixty percent? It seems that writers are quite popular in this world... Although Glenn felt this way in his heart, he still said, "Give me ninety percent."

The bald man's expression froze and he couldn't speak for a long time.

Glenn continued, "This doesn't belong to you in the first place. You made the mistake first. I just want to get back what belongs to me. Please make things clear, sir."

"But, we have also invested a lot of resources. If you do this, sir, we won't be able to earn much..." The balding man looked sad.

"That's why I only took 90%. I'm a very stingy person. When I learned what you did, I was very angry. Not making a scene here is the limit of my ability. Otherwise, we will see you in court."

"Sir, you are making it very difficult for us. We can't..."

"No, I told you, I'm a very stingy person. If you can't make the decision, then find someone who can, or we can go through legal procedures directly. Maybe I can get more that way."

The scene became quiet again. It was obvious that the bald man was not very good at handling such matters. This was probably the first time he encountered such a situation, and he was not in the right.

The door was suddenly pushed open and a skinny man strode in. He had actually been listening outside, and Glenn knew that, so his coming in now did not surprise Glenn.

"I think I must make you understand one thing, sir, this world is not absolutely fair..."

The skinny man spoke in an aggressive tone as soon as he came in.

"Mr. Semperly, I can handle it..."

The bald man who was sitting stood up, but was interrupted by the visitor before he could finish his words.

"What advice do you have for me, sir?" Glenn's tone remained calm.

The skinny man who came in walked to the table with several piles of documents and sat down calmly.

He half-opened his eyes and looked at Glenn. "I'm sorry for our rude behavior and I'm willing to make amends, but this is not a reason for you to ask for so much. Yes, you are a little famous now, but you have to know that not many people have seen you. There are many people named Glenn in this world. Even if we go to court, we have a way to change the author to... another Glenn."

Glenn did not respond after he finished speaking, and the atmosphere in the small room was quite depressing.

Only the bald man was standing aside. He wanted to say something, but gave up after trying several times.

"Ah……"

Glenn suddenly chuckled, causing the skinny man behind the desk to raise an eyebrow slightly.

Glenn said, "You think I am a person without any background, so you can do whatever you want to me? You are wrong."

As he said this, he snapped his fingers, and a small flame jumped up at his fingertips.

The bald man and the skinny man both changed their expressions.

"You are a magician?!" they both exclaimed.

This was going to be a difficult situation. If Glenn was a high-level magician, they would really have no choice but to accept defeat.

The skinny man's eyes were fully opened and his straight waist bent slightly.

Glenn noticed the changes in the two people and smiled, "I am a... first-level magician."

After hearing this, the skinny man's heart, which had sunk to the bottom of the valley, felt a little hope again.

A first-level magician is only slightly more noble than a commoner. If they don't have a background, they can still...protect some of their interests.

But Glenn seemed to be teasing them on purpose, and continued, "But my teacher is a fifth-level magician."

The skinny man's heart was completely broken. He stood up, trembling a little, and walked to Glenn, apologizing sincerely:

"Yes... I'm sorry, sir. I shouldn't have spoken to you in that tone just now. We are willing to agree to all your requests!"

Glenn smiled and said, "It would have been better if we had done this earlier."

……

After leaving the White Bird Publishing headquarters, Glenn first bought some food and camping equipment in the town.

He remembered that in the map of the Kingdom of Zen, there were few towns between Battersea and Lions City, so these preparations needed to be made.

It would take some time to consolidate the proceeds from White Bird Publishing before the money could be delivered to Glenn.

He was not worried that the other party would deceive him. From their respectful and fearful eyes, Glenn clearly understood how noble high-level magicians were in the eyes of ordinary people.

While shopping in the city, Glenn met several people driving steam cars. They were all dressed fashionably and drove those loud steel creations, attracting the attention of many passers-by.

The shape of the steam car is very different from the car Glenn had in his previous life.

First of all, it is smaller in size and shaped like an enlarged version of a shoe. The seat is at the shoe opening and can only accommodate two people. The engine at the front takes up a large space, and two chimney-like pipes are inserted on the front cover, emitting white smoke.

It’s no secret that Glenn quite likes this style and plans to get one to play with later.

After leaving the city, we walked along the Kingdom Avenue for three days and finally approached the city of Lions.

But by coincidence, Glenn saw the mercenary group that had detained Dany and her son last time.

What's more coincidental is that he found that the old man was also among them and seemed to be their leader.

The leaders of the four mercenary groups stood in front of the old man like his grandsons.

Glenn had good eyesight and could see the man from a distance, but the other person didn't notice Glenn until he walked a distance further.
