Chapter 71: Present
In the end, it turned out that I was thinking too much.
Tie Gang and his group had no problem clearing the dungeon in the end.
They easily swept through the orcs that came out, even taking care of several groups led by Orc Kings.
When they brought back all the corpses of these Orc Kings, it shocked all of the people at camp. It was so shocking that many of them forgot about all the Orc General corpses that had been brought back.
It made the fight that Bing Xin had gone through almost seem laughable, but that was just the difference between a B Ranker and an A Ranker.
Tie Gang stood there in the center of the crowd with a happy smile on his face, but I couldn't help feeling strange about this.
After all, no matter how I looked at it, he had clearly set up his own death flags.
No matter how I looked at it, it seemed like he should have died in this dungeon raid.
Of course, I'm happy that he didn't since that meant that there was another powerful person that I could rely on…but it didn't seem like his death flags were over.
It even seemed like he would be facing even more death flags in the future.
But for now, this matter had been settled and everyone was allowed to leave.
As the hero, there were many people that wanted to get closer to Tie Gang. So he was carried off by a group of people that were only interested in getting closer to him and I wasn't allowed to say a thing to him.
Bing Xin who was completely forgotten still stayed with me.
She had stayed with me the entire time and we had waited in silence for Tie Gang to come back.
But now that he was back and the dungeon had been cleared, she couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief.
Even when Tie Gang was being pulled away, she still stayed by my side.
At the same time, now that Tie Gang was back and pulled away by the others, Bing Lan also came over to see me.
She waved at us with a hand and then walked off towards the main tent of this camp.
She didn't say a thing, but it was clear that she wanted us to follow her.
This time, she wasn't surrounded by those subordinates from before, so it was just the three of us in the room.
I couldn't help feeling a bit worried seeing that it was just the three of us, but it would also be a lie to say that I wasn't a bit excited. After all, I was a man who was in a room alone with two sisters…that was a dream scenario for any other person.
But I was disappointed in the end.
Bing Lan turned on the computer at the desk and said, "Let's talk about your remuneration."
She tapped a few keys before turning the screen for me to see.
When I saw the amount that was on the screen, I couldn't help being surprised.
After all, this was countless times what I would have received for all my work as a part time porter.
I didn't remember doing anything to deserve this since I hadn't done anything during the fight against the orcs. I shouldn't have been entitled to anything other than a share of the Orc General as promised by Bing Xin and even then, it should have been a small portion of the total since I was just a porter.
So it should have been nowhere near the amount on the screen.
Bing Lan could see the look on my face, so she said with a smile, "This is the amount that comes from defeating those two C Rankers."
I tilted my head to think for a bit before realizing that she was talking about the two C Rankers who had 'chased' me and Bing Xin.
It wasn't a surprise that Bing Xin had already told her everything, but I was surprised that I would get paid for 'defeating' them.
Once again, Bing Lan explained after seeing the look on my face, "Those that commit crimes naturally will receive the punishment that they deserve. As soon as we found out that they were the ones behind all of this, we reached out to the Awakener Association to add them to the bounty list. Since you have defeated them, naturally you're entitled to receive this bounty."
When I heard that, I understood where this money was coming from, but I was surprised that it was prepared this quickly.
Bing Lan explained once more, "We're presenting you with the money right now and we'll get reimbursed by the Awakeners Association in the end, so you don't need to worry about a thing."
Then after a pause, she added with a sly smile, "You can just consider this an incentive or even a bribe so that you'll look at our guild even more positively. As for how it'll affect our guild, you don't need to worry since it's just a small drop in the bucket for us. Elementia won't lack this kind of money."
I slowly gave a nod in response to this before saying, "Thank you."
Bing Lan waved her hand before suddenly saying, "That's not all that I have for you."
She pressed a button on an intercom and not long after, there was someone that came in with a large wrapped package. They walked forward and placed that package on the table before leaving with a bow.
She gestured to it with her hand and said, "Go ahead, take a look."
I was a bit confused when I heard this, but I still opened up the package as she had suggested.
When I opened it and saw what was inside, I couldn't help looking at her with a stunned look.
Bing Lan just casually said, "It's a present to welcome you to our guild."
