Without a moment's hesitation, Zhao Lin answered, "I'll take the money."
The registrar chuckled in spite of himself. "You're certainly direct about it. It's not that I want to hide your contribution, but this bounty is divided into two types: the official price and the 'dark flower'."
'Dark flower?'
Zhao Lin remembered seeing a Hong Kong film in his past life with that exact title.
Seeing his confusion, the registrar briefly explained the difference between the two.
The official price was the bounty amount written on a public notice. Anyone who captured or killed the wanted person could claim the reward.
The authorities would then post another notice, publicizing the deeds of the one who claimed the reward. It was a way to gain both fame and fortune.
A 'dark flower' was a private bounty posted by an organization other than the government. It wasn't announced to the public, the payment was higher, but your contribution remained unknown.
