Brief Explanations:

The passage describes a situation where a man claims Mr. Kraker owes him money for work done in Switzerland. Mr. Kraker disputes this as he thought Frank was hiding in the attic and didn't pay attention to the man. The main conflict is that the man wants Mr. Kraker to pay him and Mr. Kraker doesn't want to pay.

Answer:

The man wants Mr. Kraker to pay him so he will not reveal that people are hiding in the attic.
