Just as he asked the question of how much he would be paid for interfering, Loki arrived. Money Armor couldn't tell who he was, but he knew that he was very powerful because of how fast his speed was.
When Money Armor noticed Loki's speed, he thought that he might be way out of his league in this matter that sprang up in his mind again. But when he saw the single star in Loki's Life Fire, he relaxed and discarded that discouraging thought from his mind.
Then he stepped forward into Loki's path and said, "Friend, let's talk about this."
In reply, Loki chuckled and asked, "What if I don't want to talk about it?"
Money Armor didn't think there was anything amiss about his behavior at all. After all, it is someone who is willing to entertain the possibility of negotiation who would ask that question and engage with him.
Someone who had no intention of compromising should have said something like, "Fuck off."
