Chapter 103

“Reisen Azamaha was one of the people who had a great interest in controlling superhumans who had awakened magical powers.”

Evelyn said as she put down the teacup she was holding in her hand.

A unique scent flowed out of the steaming cup and stung my nose.

It must be water brewed from one of the tea leaves she grows. It was no surprise.

“They wanted to use the power we had, even as our agents tried to check every operation and reduce the budget somehow.”

“So you hit the player first before you get hit? You made a wise decision.”

Jenny cut her off with a bored expression.

Eveline sighed at that blatant gesture.

“......I know you’re not very interested in this side of the story. I had a guest and talked about useless things.”

“If you know, ask for a catalog quickly. You don’t have to show what your class can pick.”

Her eyes shone sharply through her ebony-black hair.

“Couldn’t you have called us all the way here to buy sympathy tickets?”

Eveline silently turned her head to the pale Lennok.

“Do you think you can afford my salary there?”

“Can’t you both stop and get to the point?”

In the end, after Lennok threw out a word, the war of nerves pretending to be a conversation ended and Evelyn began to explain.

“We succeeded in bringing down Reisen, but I want you to know that the budget spent to make this operation a success is not small.”

“What do you mean?”

“I don’t know if anyone else knows, but I can pay half of your ransom according to the existing contract. However, it is unreasonable to pay in cash even the incentives based on the performance of this operation.”

“.........”

In short, you mean that the agent can’t give incentives with money because there is no budget left.

It wasn’t something I couldn’t understand.

If I hadn’t found out information about the slush fund in this operation, Reisen, who knew Ibelin’s intentions, would have retaliated against her.

From Evelyn’s point of view, no matter how much money was involved, she must have wanted this operation to succeed.

“When you say you can’t pay in cash, it sounds like you’re going to pay with something else.”

Jenny said, crossing her legs crookedly.

“You don’t intend to wipe your mouth after giving a decent amount of supplies piled up in the warehouse, right?”
