Chapter 1551 Conviction

"It happened a year before we got married," Farion explained. "I..."

He heaved a sigh.

The air grew heavy as Alice walked over putting a hand on his shoulder. The initial posting of this chapter occurred via Ñøv€l-B!n.

"I had gotten addicted Noremin," Farion admitted. Rui's eyes widened, stunned. He recognized that name. That was the name of one of the three narcotic plants that the Great Forest of Hypnonarak had in large quantities. The drug was said to put the user in a dreamlike bliss, making them lose sight of reality.

"The situation had gotten bad..." He heaved a deep sigh. "I had almost reached the point of no return. I would not have gotten back if not for Alice, that's for sure."

He gazed deeply at her with an expression of affection and love. "But also, it would not have gone well without the Beggar's Sect."

"I see..." Rui softly replied as he considered their words.

He was pretty sure that the Beggar's Sect remunerated its members based on the value of the information they brought in. Someone like Maiun, the senior partner he had met earlier, was part of the upper echelons at a large and powerful law guild and was naturally going to be remunerated more handsomely.

Although Farion and Alice were each being paid twenty-eight coppers a week, the total expenses of the Beggar's Sect were probably enormous considering that they probably had more than a billion members like them so much so that even the enormous funds that they received from selling information will be largely siphoned into remunerating its payrolls.

Besides, considering the low cost of living that the two of them had, twenty-eight coppers a week was enough to make their living more comfortable.

"There are also additional benefits like forewarnings of dangers," Farion remarked. "Especially the larger kinds that affect a general region or town. With that, we can live feeling a little more safe."

Rui understood that sentiment. He knew from his interactions with the Beggar's Sect that they definitely cared for their agents. This was extremely unusual for an organization as powerful as the Beggar's Sect. Whoever ran this sect was not an ordinary power-hungry individual, that was for sure.

"As long as I am there. There aren't too things that can harm you. Rest assured that even if a tornado came our way, I will still be able to protect all of you," Rui reassured them.
