181 Lucrative Rewards (1/2)

However, the third elder didn't believe it, though. Since the child escaped from the massacre was less than 15 years old. And the brat from the Hazegroove mercenary squad already reached the peak elite soldier realm by the time he got the mission.

Nevertheless, the third elder didn't care about that, since he was getting a reward for the mission, he sent his disciples to kill the boy named Ajax, who took a mission alone in the Cursed Abyss.

On the contrary, things didn't go as he expected.

All his personal disciples went missing in the Cursed Abyss, leaving the mission incomplete, and his target returned safely to the Goldcrest town.

'Sigh...Damn those five main families I am going to show you the real hell when you start that bloody revolution,' The third elder thought in his mind as he assumed that the reason behind the missing of his personal disciple team was related to five main families.

More than his care for his disciples, his anger towards them was increased because it cost him his rewards from the headquarters.

'So, the headquarters thought I am no longer reliable..sigh,' the third elder sighed.

It was not his first time doing the Headquarters' secret missions, so he knew how they would reward him if he completed their mission.

'But now, I will actively take this mission into my hands and prove them I can complete their missions,'

After a few moments of sighing, his confidence boosted, thinking that, if he completes any of the missions, he will get more secret missions from the headquarters.

”As for the reward for this mission, it was a chance to enter into the Evil underworld spring to cultivate for a week,” Even the first elder's voice shook when he announced the reward for the mission.

”What?”

”A chance to cultivate in the Evil underworld spring?”

”For a week?”

All the elders were shocked at the reward for killing a recently entered commander realm brat.

Even the second elder who was rarely shown interested in anything was excited a little and nodded his head.

Only the third elder shook his head silently as this was the least reward he got in his many secret missions.

'I don't care about that spring anymore, as it won't be any use to me anyway. However I should complete the mission to prove them my worth,' he thought silently and wondered about the second mission.

”Huh?” the first elder frowned a little seeing the scroll he was holding and continued saying,

”There is a note under the mission if any cube forms after killing him, then the reward will be multiplied 3 times and will be given an outer elder position in the headquarters.”

”What the heck! Is it really real?” the seventh elder stood up and asked loudly, forgetting that he was asking that question to the first elder.

”S..sorry first elder. I was excited earlier. Please forgive me for my impudence,”

Seeing that devil's smile, the seventh elder shuddered before apologizing him with a bow.

”Don't need to be so formal, junior elder, we are all from the same sect, right? Even I was shocked by the reward,” The first elder said, accepting the apology.

When the first elder confirmed the reward, all the elders' eyes shone with greed and swore that they would complete the mission at any cost.
