Silver Willow had not been in this world for long.
He did not know what attitude the local authorities had toward these awakened superhumans.
More than a year had passed since the spiritual energy revival. No matter how incompetent they were, the higher-ups should have noticed it by now.
Ancient Creek Town seemed like a place with order and rules, but judging by these people's methods, they did not seem like the type to follow rules.
Silver Willow said, "Pay two million spirit pearls, and I'll pretend this never happened."
The leader and the higher-ups did not look pleased.
Two million spirit pearls was enough to make even the upper ranks of their organization feel the pain.
After all, that piece of black jade could fetch an astronomical price because its grade was high and it was exceptionally special.
Ordinary spirit artifacts would probably require several dozen pieces to reach that price.
Several dozen spirit artifacts!
These were spirit artifacts, not something that could be obtained easily. Even the lowest-grade spirit artifacts were not that easy to get.
After all, spirit artifacts were relatively scarce overall.
Ancient Creek Town had many spirit artifacts because it gathered all the superhumans and most of the sources of spirit artifacts.
Looking across the entire country, there were probably not many spirit artifacts in total.
Paying that amount of spirit pearls would not force their organization to disband on the spot, but it would still deal them a severe blow.
But they had no choice but to pay.
"W-We don't have that many spirit pearls here. How about we use spirit artifacts as payment instead?"
To run such a large organization and keep its superhumans in check, they needed to be strong, and the benefits they offered their members also had to keep up.
