Akari examined her perfectly manicured nails with exaggerated attention. Her disinterest was clearly performative. She didn't even bother looking up as she asked, "Is it true that Gate Remnants can sell for millions on the private market? And what exactly is the finder's fee percentage for the Hunter who discovers one? Asking for a friend."
Her casual tone couldn't quite mask the mercenary gleam in her eyes.
"Depends on the Remnant," Braxton answered. Scratched his ear. "I've seen a minor one sell for enough to buy a decent apartment in the Central District. I've also seen one go for enough to buy a small island with a private airstrip and staff to run it."
He smirked. A knowing expression crept across his face. "As for finder's fees, that depends on how greedy your Guild is. How good your lawyer is. And how willing you are to mysteriously disappear if you push too hard for your fair share."
