Having received the reward he deserved and obtained the signed documents, Xue Yunfeng returned to his position, satisfied.
"Black Rose is still fighting Umberlee!" Mo Bi Chenxin, who had been standing behind him and quietly serving as his secretary, said cautiously. "Are you really planning to make them hold out until tomorrow?
"Sanda King might not agree to that."
Xue Yunfeng shot him a smug look. "You don't understand. Black Rose is actually quite willing to drag things out.
"As the Habel Family's fallback route, Nimbror Island must have plenty of good stuff on it.
"And Edna—do you think she'll fall out with Old Age over gold and jewels?
"That's the girl Old School Striking King raised herself!
"What they really need to guard against are... those jackals and wolves that smell something and follow them there.
"But if we officially start fighting first... how attractive do you think the treasures that interest these female Mages bearing Mystra's Soul Imprints will be?
"And they won't even need to deal with Umberlee. The vampire Duchess is much better-looking.
"Whether they're people from Toril or our Undead... everyone looking to take advantage will charge toward Snowfall Island!"
He glanced up at the girls on the bow, who were striking poses again. This time, their outfits were even more alluring than before, but their poses were extremely elegant, and every movement was filled with the so-called air of nobility.
Xue Yunfeng lifted his chin toward them. "This group isn't bad by nature, but every thing they do and every coin they spend is aimed at gaining the greatest possible profit.
"What wonderful dreams they have.
"Ah, the reason you nearly got yourself killed was because you thought the same way, wasn't it?
"Are all children from wealthy families this greedy?"
