30 Chapter 30: Scolding and Reward (1/2)
After the battle, it's time to deal with the aftermath. Adam and his team interrogated the two captured enemy and tied them up.
From their interrogation, they learned that there are two leaders in their group and those two were the two people who tried to escape towards the cave and later was shot dead by Mercy. They also learned from the two captured enemy that Adam's guess was entirely correct, the stolen goods were really being kept in the cave.
Learning of that, Razlov, Adam, and Mercy went to the cave. And what they saw inside the cave was not only the stolen goods but also prisoners. There is a total of ten prisoners in the cave and all of them are female. When Razlov talked to them, he learned that they are being kept here then they would later be sold as slaves and they also haven't been touch by the bandits; as the bandits said that 'damage goods would lose its value'.
Razlov ordered Mercy to check and make a list of all the stolen goods then report it to him later. While Razlov and Adam went to where the female prisoners and freed them, he also gave them food and shelter cause currently, it is still night; two of the tents that were previously used by the bandits.
After Mercy was done with the task she was given, she went towards Razlov and made a report.
”Commander, I've already finished checking the bandit's stolen goods. After checking all the goods I've confirmed that there are 800 gold coins, 30 different types of jewelry, 50 precious stones, 100 iron ingots, a bunch of weapons and armors, and perishable goods; that's all.”
”That concludes my report”
When Razlov heard the report, he fell into silence.
Mercy who noticed that Razlov was not talking tried to call out to him.
”C~Commander?”
”Hehe”
”HAHAHA!!”
”I'm rich! I'm rich! I'm f*cking rich!”
”HAHAHA!”
The sudden outburst of Razlov shock Adam and his team, especially Mercy as she was nearest to Razlov; even the rescued females was shocked at him that most of them drop the food that they were eating.
”Umm, Commander, shouldn't we return the goods since they were stolen”
As Razlov was laughing to his heart's content, he suddenly stops when he heard what Mercy said and stared at her in disbelief; unable to believe that she would suggest that.
”Why?”
Razlov suddenly asks her why she would suggest that.
”B~Because it is the right thing to do”
Razlov stared at her further in disbelief, he looks around and could see that she and her team have that same opinion as they nodded at Mercy in approval. Razlov feels like having a headache at his subordinates naivety and idiocy.
”Idiots!!”
”We are not good samaritan or saints; for God sake! So why should we return it? In the first place, if you look closely at the request paper, there is no indication that we should return the stolen goods, so why should we; Haa?”
