Midnight Crystal (Part 18)

Adam touched his earbud about to ask Silvana something, but she beat him to it, knowing what he was going to ask. Not because she wanted to show how she could anticipate his thoughts, but because she didn't want the Golden Light squad to hear his question.

'Igno Ant King is indeed a dangerous monster, not enough to become a disaster and turn this place into hell immediately after birth, but still extremely hazardous. If you want your and Katrin's hunt for Scarlet Pyromancer to be successful, I would advise you to help them.'

Silvana continued:

'However, not for free. Have them pay you 35%. Don't settle for less. Press your authority, after all, you are the strongest among them, and... Katrin is also a more than capable Phantom, don't forget that.'

Oskar wanted to say something in addition to his fiery speech, but he stopped, for Adam's look had changed dramatically. Silvana's instruction helped him decide how to proceed.

Step. Step. Step.
