"Wow, nice. That sounds really reasonable," Luciel said, sarcasm lacing his tone.
Treyton chuckled and said, "No need to react that badly. They're not such a bad family anyway. As long as the arrangements are reasonable and their family doesn't stand to lose, they won't do anything reckless. They can even cooperate quite well."
"I know, but why do you think that old man Mr. Clark was testing me?"
According to the novel, Mr. Clark and his family really were reasonable, just like what Treyton said. That was also why the current North Base had less internal strife compared to others.
Unlike the other bases, which often had a lot of management issues due to power struggles and disagreements between the leaders, the North Base was relatively peaceful.
Of course, there would still be some struggle for benefits for their own groups, but it wouldn't escalate into bloody battles. It was only later, when something major happened, that their peace was broken.
