Chapter 22: Glory’s First Comission
An unknown time passed quietly, Aurora slowly opened her eyes and yawn, "It's really comfortable to sleep, huh?"
She glanced around and saw Claudia kneeling on the ground and rubbing her left and right knees constantly, the expression on her face was about to cry.
"What are you doing?"
"Leader, you finally woke up!" Claudia was moved to tears when she heard Aurora's voice, "I sob apologized to the captain... then leader fell asleep... so sob I wait until leader wakes up."
"..."
Seeing this silly girl, Aurora didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
Aurora stretched out her hand and pulled her up. Probably because her feet were a little weak after kneeling for too long, Claudia staggered and accidentally threw herself into her arms.
"Ahhh! Leader, I didn't mean it!" She screamed, blushing, and hurriedly stood up.
"It's fine."
So soft Aurora turned her head away so that Claudia couldn't see her blushing face, reached into her pocket, took out a pair of gloves, and threw them at Claudia.
"This is for you."Follow current novels at novelhall.com)
"Eh?"
Claudia caught the pair of gloves and looked at them with a mesmerized look. They were a pair of beautiful woman's gloves. Not only were they exquisite in appearance and neatly crafted, but they also felt particularly smooth to the touch. The fur used for making these gloves must be particularly good.
"Leader, what is this?"
"Well this is a thank you gift from me for your hard work until now. Thank you for your hard work along the way."
"But Leader"
Aurora directly blocked Claudia's words before she could refuse. "Just accept it and don't think too much. Don't worry, I don't spare a single gold other than for its material. I made them myself."
"Well...thank you, Leader!" Claudia solemnly put away the gloves and asked, "What do we need to do next?"
"Of course, we need a base where we can rest and work. We can't afford to stay in a hotel all the time."
"But leader, we don't have any other bases anymore. The previous base Captain Gard has already started to reconstruct it as a shop. If we want to buy a new house as a base... I don't think we can do it for the time being."
"Don't worry. I already have a solution, just follow me." Aurora pushed the door straight out.
Claudia was relieved to see her confident demeanor and followed her closely toward the Mercenary Association.
When they reached the lobby, she saw Aurora walking straight towards the second floor and stopping after reaching the door of Henrick's office.
"Leader?! Are you asking the president to beg for he" Before Claudia could finish her sentence, she saw Aurora kick directly toward the office door. "Heeeeee?!!"
Boom!
When he saw the man, Henrick quickly put his feet down and stood up, walking towards the man.
"President Henrick, the Earl can't wait any longer. Do you have any news about how to cure Earl Vidal's daughter?" Bastian's expression was not very good at the moment.
"Your Excellency Bastian, don't worry, we have sent people to look for information, and we will definitely be able to find out how to treat Miss Vidal in the near future." Henrick looked distressed.
"Okay, I hope it won't be too late! The Earl has issued a death order. If there is still no news the day after tomorrow at the latest President Henrick, you can figure it out for yourself!" Bastian left quickly with a wave of his hand.
"Hehe, old man, since you're so busy, I'll take my leave first." Aurora stood up and was about to walk outside.
"Wait!"
Aurora's footsteps paused slightly and she turned around, wearing a look of surprise on her face. "What's the matter, old man, what are you asking me to do?"
"Do you have a way to solve Miss Vidal's condition?"
"Huh? How can I, a little brat who still pees in her pants, do things that even the mighty President Henrick can't solve?" Aurora smiled lightly and shrugged her shoulder, saying, "If there is nothing else, this missy will leave first."
After saying that, she was going to go out.
This little bastard!
How could Henrick not know Aurora's thoughts at the moment, but now even if he knew he was going to be ripped off, he could only grit his teeth and go for it.
"Tell me your condition!"
"Oh, old man, you're lucky. I happened to remember something when you said that. It seems that there is some way to cure Miss Vidal." Aurora sat down on the chair again, cross-legged. "But my memory is not very good recently, and I still need to ask the President for understanding."
After a long time, amidst Henrick's roar, Aurora walked out of the door with a happy smile on her face as she fiddled with the letter of recommendation in her hand.
"Leader?! What did you say to the president? It's the first time I've seen the president lose his temper." Claudia still had lingering fears when she thought of Henrick's flushed and furious face.
"It's nothing, I just received a B-level mission and... twenty silver coins as start-up funds."
"Wow, Leader! You are too wicked!" Claudia swallowed.
Twenty silver coins! Even B-level missions can't get that much money! No wonder the president was so angry...
For a brief moment, Claudia couldn't help but feel a little sympathetic to Henrick, how good if he were to agree from the beginning! Alas, there was no medicine for regret available in the store
But twenty silver coins twenty silver coins, you know!!
Claudia's lips curled into a kind of smile that a lady shouldn't have as she thought she will be a little rich lady soon
Claudia snapped back into sense, quickly wiped out the smile on her face, and turned to Aurora.
"Leader... where are we going now?"
"Of course, it's a meeting with our employer." Aurora shook the envelope in front of her with her fingers.
