I had no desire to betray the Guild.
They'd given me generous pay and treated me fairly.
However, at the end of the day, my life came above loyalty. I was in desperate need of money and fragments. If the right offer came, I didn't mind leaving.
...And it wasn't like the Guild didn't have any options. The moment I received an offer, they'd be notified, and as long as they matched the offer presented to me, I'd gladly stay with them.
I also knew and understood my worth.
Asking for ten million guaranteed wasn't unreasonable of me. This was me being extremely reasonable.
This was how much I was worth.
If anything, I was probably worth even more. Still, I seemed to be the only one who believed that. The man across from me clearly didn't share the thought.
"Ten million..."
It took a couple of seconds for Hermes's face to return to normal following my words.
He raised his finger, trying his best to stay calm.
