Chapter 284: Examined (5)

Explore more at mvlThey were about to leave before they realized that they were missing something.

So Bing Lan turned to me and waved her hand for me to follow as she said, "Come on, we can't do anything without you."

I could feel the glares coming at me from the people still sitting at the table, but I ignored it as I went over to where Bing Lan was.

Once I came over, they turned back around and started heading in a certain direction.

Seeing that we were going without them, the ones that were sitting at the table had no choice but to stand up and follow us.

Since we had left before everyone else, there was a bit of a buffer between us and them that I was able to talk to them in private.

I turned to Eliott and said, "Thank you for coming to help."

Though I didn't know what was going on, I did know that he showed up at my moment of need. So at the very least, I should thank him for coming to help me.

Eliott revealed a faint smile when he heard this and then he was about to say something, but Bing Lan cut him off.

"You can't steal him from us." She said in a cold and serious voice.

Eliott revealed a wry smile when he heard this, but then he quickly raised his hands and said, "Of course I don't have any intentions of doing that."

Though he said this, it was clear by the smile on his face that he might have actually had other intentions.

Bing Lan just glared at him for a bit before saying, "Just tell me what you want. If it's in my power, I'll get it for you." But she also added, "Remember, you can't take him from us."

Eliott's smile became more awkward, but he still said, "It's not that. I just want the right to reserve him as a contractor for the Awakeners Association."

Bing Lan raised a brow to show that she was surprised by this before saying, "Why would you want that?"

Eliott revealed a wry smile again as he said, "There's no need to hide it, we both know what kind of power this young man is hiding." S~eaʀᴄh the ηovёlFire .net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Bing Lan still had one brow raised as she looked at him with a confused look.

Eliott was a bit surprised to see this, but he didn't think much of it since he guessed that she was just faking it to raise the price of the contract.

With a sigh, he said, "He's a buff type supporter, he's one of the rare ones, so there's no need to pretend. We know that his contract will be pricey, so there's no need to pretend like this. We'll give you an amount that will satisfy you."

Bing Lan tried to stay calm, but there was a twitch that appeared in her eyebrows when she heard this.

She had known that Lin Fan's power was to buff, but she had thought that it was just a temporary buff and debuff that wouldn't last long.

But now Eliott was saying that he was a buff type supporter…

That had a very different meaning from what she thought Lin Fan was.

A buff type supporter meant long term buffs that ignored ability rank, so that meant that Lin Fan would even be able to buff her for a long time if he used his buff on her.

This was completely different from what she thought his power was before.

She had only seen him use it on himself before, so she never thought that his ability could also be used like this…

Bing Lan couldn't help turning to look at Lin Fan with a gaze like she was blaming him.

When I saw this, I really didn't know what to say since I had thought that she had known all along, which was why she had recruited me into Elementia in the first place.

Eliott was slowly realizing his mistake and he couldn't stop his smile from turning awkward…but it was too late to take back what he said, so he could only keep going with it.

Bing Lan finally calmed down after a while and said, "Alright, let's go with the standard price for a buffer and I'll give you 10% off for your help today."

Eliott revealed a faint smile when he heard this.

The standard price for a buffer wasn't low, so 10% off was quite the amount.

But it was the next part that really made him happy.

"Plus, I'll give you priority since you are our Lin Fan's friend, so you can book him ahead of other Awakeners from the Awakeners Association."

This was basically giving him exclusive rights to book him in front of everyone else from the Awakeners Association.

Bing Lan saw the bitter smile that I had on my face, so she asked me with a smile, "What's wrong? You're not satisfied with this?"

I quickly shook my head.

It wasn't that I wasn't satisfied with this, it was just that it felt like I was being sold off.

But I could tell from the context that this was a deal with a large amount of money involved, so I would be getting paid extra on top of just doing what I would normally be doing.

Money was always a welcome thing.

At the same time, I would be able to repay Eliott for helping me today, so I was fine with this.

But there was someone who wasn't happy with this.

The red haired young man came closer and said, "What about me?"

Eliott gave a snort and said, "What about you?"

The red haired young man glared at him and said, "You get priority and I get nothing? I also came to help today, so shouldn't I get something?"

Eliott gave another snort before saying, "Didn't you hear what the guild master just said? It's because we're friends that I get priority booking."

"Friends?" The red haired young man repeated before coming right up to me.

I couldn't help being caught off guard by his sudden actions, but then I was surprised even more by what he did next.

He suddenly reached his hand out to me and said, "You're Lin Fan, right? I'm Enma."

Eh?

That was all that I could think as I looked at the red haired young man named Enma with a surprised look.

I didn't understand what was happening, so I looked at Bing Lan and Eliott.

However, both of them just shook their heads and gave sighs in the end.

This didn't really help me, so I could only deal with this myself.

It was true that he had come to help me too by putting pressure on the second dungeon raid team leader, so I should at least repay him a bit…

So I slowly reached my hand out to take his hand.

When I grabbed his hand, he immediately shook it and said, "Nice to meet you."

Then without hesitation, he turned to Bing Lan and said, "See, we're friends as well. So how about me?"

Bing Lan looked at me with a brow raised.

All I could do was give a sigh and then nod in agreement.

Seeing this nod, Bing Lan gave a nod as well and said, "Alright, you can receive the same treatment."

Enma started cheering and Eliott just gave a snort when he saw this, but he didn't do anything in the end.

With this, we arrived at the medical bay of the headquarters.
