Chapter 518: Pay at the Training Ground Tomorrow-No Armor (Continued)

"What were their demands? Have me judge them all over again?"

"Yes." Vita nodded with a smile. "But for this judgment... I suggest we simply go with whoever takes first place."

It sounded feasible, but... could it really settle everything once and for all?

"I think that's pretty good too. It could motivate everyone else as well." Joyce nodded along without an opinion of his own.

"Joyce, look at my expression. Do I look like I want to keep this reward system going?"

"..."

Well, damn.

Joyce looked at Liu Bai's dark expression and had nothing to say.

This reward system really did seem unnecessary to continue.

"But a lot of people are looking forward to this reward... We can't reject everything this time, but we also can't give everyone everything all at once..."

"Give everyone everything all at once?" Liu Bai suddenly raised a brow. Joyce's complaint had given him an idea.

"Why can't we solve everything all at once?"

"...Huh?"

"Vita."

"I'm here."

"Go stop that farce over there, then set the record straight."

Liu Bai gave the order.

"Then... tell them that tomorrow, payment will be issued at the training grounds. No armor."

"Huh?" Joyce was a little confused by Liu Bai's order.

"Not a stitch?" Vita lightly raised her brows, though she did not seem surprised—obviously. She had personally encouraged this; how could she possibly be surprised?

"Not a stitch."

"What a shame. You might not get to see the girls competing in beauty, then."

"...Wear whatever they want."

"Very well. I'll pass that along right away." Vita smiled, nodded, and slowly left.

Joyce looked like he wanted to say something but stopped himself.

Th-this was the magnanimity of a hero?

Something about this felt off.

"Don't worry. This has nothing to do with you people.
