Chapter 116 What A Wild B*tch
"Twenty Chrons each for both of you." Keith said and gave them their money after the saluting was done.
He silently watched them as they walked back and then looked at Clara.
"Next spot will be taken by Clara. She did well in the fight events and also participated in recreational events. Apart from this, her divine blessing did give us a sense of safety while we were sleeping or doing relaxing activities. Especially for the ones who were weak like me, Caleb and Amelia. This warrants her the fourth place, and in other terms, she will receive fifteen Chrons."
He didn\'t have to say more as she silently walked towards him and gave him the salute while a slight smile tugged at the corners of her lips. Keith nodded and handed over the money.
A few seconds later, once she was back with the others, he glanced at Caleb who looked at him hopefully. Keith gave him a slight nod before pointing at himself.
"I\'ll be sharing the spot with Clara and it feels awkward to talk about my own contributions. So, if anyone has any objections, feel free to express them right now. Oh yeah, and Caleb will be taking the last spot but although his contributions weren\'t much, he did help us with most of the chores.Nôv(el)B\\\\jnn
It wasn\'t that he didn\'t want to help. It was just that his awakened ability didn\'t allow him to. He will receive the remaining 10 Chrons, but before that, I still want you guys to express your opinions on my place if you\'re not satisfied."
His gaze was locked on to Caleb so stood silently with a smile on his face and Keith\'s eyes were on the system screen that was directly in his line of sight, reading what was going through Caleb\'s mind.
\'Well, he\'s satisfied so that\'s a good thing.\' Keith thought but Amelia raised her hand, which clearly meant that she had an objection.
Keith looked at her and nodded, sighing internally as he knew that there was a high chance of her wanting to cause trouble. The "system seed" connected to her gave him the information on the stuff that was going on inside her head and Keith was pleasantly surprised by what he saw.
His worries quickly faded away as he nodded at her, the gears in his mind turning quickly so that he could find an optimal way of making use of this situation.
"I feel like your position should be higher than both Nathan and me. Maybe even better than Brandon but that is debatable since he did, in fact contribute a lot even though I don\'t like to admit it.
But you on the other hand... your awakened ability worked in a similar fashion to Clara\'s and you were able to help us avoid a lot of dangers. The entire plan was set up by you and without your orders and ways of doing things, Laura\'s worth would have gone down exponentially.
You weren\'t so great at the fighting events, but all of us saw how you improved during the second week\'s fighting event. You also performed your piano piece, danced with the nobles and also performed the tribal dance.
You allied with other churches\' teams and got them to support us too. You were a key part of our team so I am absolutely not satisfied with your placement. Being humble is a great thing but being idiotic isn\'t.
Currently I feel like the money I got isn\'t really deserved."
Keith nodded and took out his leather pouch, the one he used to store his money. He opened it and took out all the money inside before stuffing his pockets. He then tossed the empty leather pouch to Amelia, who caught it before looking at him with a confused expression on her face.
"One of our team members is facing a very serious financial problem. Unfortunately they cannot speak about this directly and also don\'t want their name revealed so I\'ll ask you guy in their place.
It\'s a problem that I cannot talk about directly, but if it does happen, then this teammate of ours will have no choice but to quit working with us. So, if you feel like I deserve a better place, then I want you to donate the money that you think you don\'t need for their cause instead." he said and looked at them.
Amelia immediately tossed in all of the money that she had received and then paused for a second before taking back one note with an embarrassed look on her face.
"I\'m still poor so I need some money too. I\'ll be keeping one Chron for myself." Continue your saga on empire
Brandon took one note from his stash and put it into the leather pouch, "I\'ll pay for you, don\'t worry."
He immediately formed a layer of stone skin around his crotch and felt an impact almost half a second later.
"Whew that was close."
Clara knew that he was talking about her, so she silently put in all the money that she had. Laura hesitated slightly and counted twenty notes before pushing the notes into the leather pouch.
Nathan on the other hand, followed Amelia\'s example and took one note for himself before putting the rest into the pouch while Caleb also did the same.
"Wow, that was unexpected." Keith said as he clapped, the sounds echoing in the hall.
"What are you clapping for, you stingy bastard?!" Amelia hissed as she kicked Brandon\'s ass, this time making him yelp as he jumped forward before patting his butt.
He shook his head and sighed, "What a wild bitch...."
