Saine understood Gilbert's reasons for acting this way perfectly well.
All under heaven bustled for profit; all under heaven scurried for gain.
Gilbert and the others were merely seeking benefits for themselves as well.
As the first discoverers of the relic, Gilbert, Saine, and the others naturally had sufficient right and leeway to secure some benefits for themselves.
Saine had previously been responsible for this region. If Gilbert and the others had obtained something good yet did not share a portion with Saine, that would truly be hard to justify.

Since this Civilization Relic had already been reported to Wizard Civilization, it belonged to Wizard Civilization.
Wizard Civilization would soon reward Saine, Gilbert, and the others according to the scale of the relic that had been discovered.
