From Kieran's perspective, after getting the Pawn Fire Raven egg, [Merman's Meat] existence was solely a fodder to increase the raven's abilities.
The loot that he gained before were just extras that came along with it.
Although he had the heart of a Scrooge, Kieran would not want to lose a great deal trying to save a little.
One side was a helper which could gain more strength through growth.
The other was an energy-wasting plan that might not even turn out to be fruitful.
It was a no-brainer for Kieran in terms of choosing.
Though it wasn't impossible for him to reap more loot from the second plan if he could plan better, but after meeting Artitelgar, his thoughts went down the drain.
Even Artitelgar with his power, he couldn't reign rampantly in this dungeon world, what was Kieran compared to him?
Regardless of how perfect his plans were, unforeseen variables might still occur.
It was better to utilize the resources at hand to strengthen his own power.
