Chapter 44 Mission completed
There, they divided the amount of money that would go to each of them.
Carion seemed a bit pensive as they considered how to divide it. He had his own thoughts.
"We have to compensate the relatives of the one who left us for the loss, " he said suddenly, causing those who were speaking to fall silent.
Klaus agreed with him. Even if they know that he died merely because of his fault and for not paying attention, at the end of the day, he died during the mission. Anyone would count as having died for the mission.
That's why they should give a considerable amount to his family.
Klaus said nothing. He had no idea of the cost of the money, and although he knew that Carter Coins were very expensive, he didn't know how much that amount was or how much could be bought with one of those coins.
So he waited for Carion to speak, and it didn't take long for him to do so.
"It doesn't make much difference between getting 80 to getting 70 each of us, does it? How about 150 for the family of the one affected?" he asked and looked at Klaus.
Klaus shook the head. "You are the leader; it is specified in the contract that you decide how to divide the loot." And smiled.
Carion nodded and turned his gaze to the front again. "Then let's do it like this. We can still complete more missions and earn more; his family will already only have the memory."
"Right."
.
They didn't talk during the rest of the trip until they got back to the city. When they returned, it was already quite late, almost dusk.
They turned the mission over to the organization, and the hostages were taken for medical checks. The fact that Carion's group had completed a hostage rescue mission so effectively and only lost one man stood them in good stead.
The names of the rookies gave a lot to talk about as well, so Carion was taken to the leaders' hall to be congratulated and to be awarded the reward, rumors said that the Leader himself called him.
However, on the other side of the door, several prominent people who did not really belong to this organization were waiting for him. Although Rod, the Leader of the Organization, also stay there, he seemed to have a lower status than the other people here.
"Carion, that was a good level mission and we were still betrayed at the end, but you managed to complete it in such a short time, with two rookies on your team and only losing one. That's an amazing achievement."
"True. Carion this time showed great skill in completing it. The effectiveness is much better than many of us here expected."
"Congratulations, Carion. I think you deserve a good reward in the organization this time, did you use the Nithim we bestowed on you last time?"
Carion, who remained silent all the while listening to the words of his leaders, sighed.
"Sirs, you must not give me the credit for that mission. To tell the truth, I almost didn't do much. The remaining man didn't die for the mission; he simply didn't listen to one of the members and ended up getting blown up after the betrayal. That other member is the one who deserves all the accolades."
His answer puzzled the Leaders a bit, who looked at each other for a brief moment. "Who are you referring to? The group you took wasn't very remarkable. All growing people and two rookies. Are any of them good at strategy?"
Carion nodded.
"If you want to reward someone, give it to him. His name is Klaus, one of the two rookies. The attack strategy, the rescue of the hostages safe and sound, he did it all. That's why I can't give you any more mission details. Honestly, all I did was distract the traitorous robbers."
The leaders frowned and looked thoughtful.
The fact that a rookie just coming in did that meant he was good. 'He's 20 years old and in Realization... But he was sent here by Miss Sua; he must have something of great value if she sent him.'
"Did you do use the Nithim?" one of the leaders suddenly asked, emphasizing that question.
Carion nodded softly.
That practically annoyed the Leader, but he couldn't speak, as Carion did so first.
"Among the thieves were two people at the Primary Level, at my level, who focused on two fields. They were powerful and got help from 3 others at the Realization level. I used it to buy time for Klaus to rescue them."
"Two at the Primary Level and several at the Realization Level?"
"Yes, sir."
That silenced the room again.
The guy who would get upset was immediately calmed by his words. 'It's better to lose some Nithim than a member.' He sighed and looked at the ceiling.
The fact that all the leaders were silent for so long implied that something big might be happening, but even the leaders couldn't understand it.
Suddenly, one of the leaders stood up and stared at Carion.
"What was where the hostages were? Are there any strange people?" He asked quickly.
Carion shook his head. "I don't know. Only Klaus got there."
"Him?"
"I'm going to look for him?" Rod stood up, looking at the one who had asked the question, but the latter shook his head.
"No, let Miss Sua handle it." After saying that, he looked at Carion.
"Be careful, boy. The extra reward we were going to give you, under your request, we'll give it to that boy when the time comes. You may retire; try to make friends with him."
"Yes, sir." Carion nodded and subsequently left.
As he left the room, Klaus was waiting for him.
"Come on, I'll buy you lunch, Klaus."
"All right, but I have to be back at eight o'clock."
"Good. Then let's eat quickly and talk a little."
"Haha, good."
Soon after, they both went to a good restaurant. Taking advantage of the fact that they now had money, they didn't need to skimp when they were hungry. And since Carion was willing to toast, Klaus ordered quite a lot of food.
Despite that, they spent not too much. Either the food was cheap, or the Carter Coin was simply too expensive, for they only spent 1 Carter Coin in a night, during which they ate as much as they could.
That night, they did not discuss the subject of what happened on the mission. The main reason is that Carion was not feeling well, so before 8 o'clock, they both separated, returning to where they lived.
