Chapter 645 - Celebration (2/2)

With those final words, Beinala and his wives left to Valiant Hall. And, true to their words, someone soon came to take the massive crates Rum had been holding away.

Kaela almost squealed with delight when she saw the merit points flood her identification ring. She felt as though she was floating on a cloud.

”Leonel.” She turned toward the man with a hint of moistness in her eyes.

Leonel hid his worry and smiled back. ”Don't look at me that way or else your fan club would think I did you wrong.”

Kaela sputtered with laughter. ”What fan club, stop teasing me. Here.”

Kaela touched her ring to Leonel's, causing over 80% of the merit points to flood over.

”I don't know why you insisted on handing over all the credit to our Faction, but as promised, here are your merits.”

Leonel blinked. ”This… Seems to be more than we agreed upon, no?”

They had made 15 750 merit points after their bulk sale, but Kaela had given Leonel more than 12 000 in one sweep when they had only agreed to a 40/60 split with Leonel receiving 40.

This wasn't only because Leonel was kind hearted, but rather because he was providing none of the materials. Plus, there was just one of him and six other members excluding Radlis and including Kaela. He thought that taking 40% was already asking for a lot.

However, he had no choice but to ask for this. As soft as he was, he couldn't forget the reason he came here in the first place… And that was for the sake of Aina. Not just for her sake, but specifically to cure her curse.

Without resources, he couldn't do this. And, the best resource to have in this place were merits.

Kaela smiled. ”Consider it a down payment for the future. I can tell that you probably won't be here for long, but I hope that during the time you are here, that you'll stay with us.”

Leonel raised his brows before grinning.

”That, you don't have to worry about. Who would want a castaway like me anyway?”

The team looked toward one another and burst into a fit of laughter.

”Let's go celebrate!” Kaela happily shouted. ”Dinner's on the newly minted rich tycoon!”

Leonel coughed. It seemed that Kaela hadn't reformed from her money grubber ways just yet despite her generosity.

However, he didn't fight it. He might as well…

Just as Leonel was about to accept, his eyes flashed. He pulled out a talisman from his spatial ring, a happy light shining in his eye.

Aina had contacted him.
