In the end, Mercer took 1.55 million Euros alone, while Rebecca and V each got 500,000 Euros.
And the three million Euros earned from Rogue was considered the final payment for the biotechnology commission. Following the previous distribution, after deducting the team funds of 1.2 million Euros, Mercer and V each got 30%, and the remaining members each got 10%.
"Well, that means V's cut is 1.04 million Euros, and Rebecca's is 680,000 Euros."
As soon as this was said, V clutched his heart, leaning back in the chair and starting to zone out, as if he didn't even have the energy to talk anymore.
Rebecca, on the other hand, simply jumped up, laughing and saying, "680,000 Euros? Never in my life did I think I'd see so much money!"
"The remaining portion, Pira, Qiwei, Lucy, you each can only get 180,000 Euros."
As Mercer's voice fell, Pira immediately jumped up too. He hugged Rebecca, and the siblings, for once, weren't bickering but were arm in arm, howling together.
Qiwei and Lucy exchanged a glance, neither seeming very excited...
Qiwei hadn't quite grasped the reality of that sum of money, while Lucy really wasn't interested in money. Compared to the 300,000 Euros income, she was more concerned about whether Mercer would have enough money on his side.
Lucy did some calculations, then her eyebrows furrowed slightly.
The person who got the most gains was, of course, Mercer.
He not only suddenly had 2.9 million in team funds but also nearly two million Euros in personal dividends.
But Lucy, after calculating the costs of server setup and equipment costs, knew this money wouldn't be enough for Mercer's splurges.
Just looking at everyone's excitement right now, Lucy ultimately didn't say anything, silently thinking to herself that if she didn't have anything to spend on, she might as well use her share to buy the equipment Mercer wanted.
"Alright, the money's been divided. In the next few days, if you want to upgrade your implants, go do that. If you want to go shopping, go shopping. Meeting adjourned."
After transferring the money, Mercer got up breezily.
Pira immediately raised his hand, "I apply to go out and have some fun!"
"Don't show off too much or you might get shot. My advice—why not all of you go together?"
After Mercer finished speaking, Rebecca hugged his arm with a smile, "It's no fun to leave the boss behind while we celebrate, right?"
"I'm planning for today..." Mercer hadn't finished his sentence before V came over, also hugging his shoulder with a grin, "Cut the chatter, sister is treating you to real meat, coming or not?"
Hesitating for just 0.5 seconds, Mercer decisively nodded, "Coming."
"Damn, I knew you loved this... haha, let's go! Today, sister made a fortune, all expenses on me, Sister V!"
With a wave of her hand, V enthusiastically lifted Kyoko up as they passed by, "You're coming too, sister's gonna take you shopping for some nice clothes today!"
"Sister V, you're so nice~" Kyoko sweetly replied, making V smile uncontrollably.
The group went out in grand style to celebrate, playing from dinner until late at night before reluctantly heading home to rest.
For the next few days, everyone indulged in the pleasure of spending without restraint.
At dinner every evening, people would discuss where they went, what they bought, showing off new implants, new cars, and generally emphasizing the joy of striking it rich.
Until the night of the third day, Mercer stealthily knocked on V's door.
"What do you want?" She peeked out from behind the door, wary, seeing Mercer in nothing but the Black Customer Service outfit, head and one pale shoulder exposed.
"Uh... V, so..."
Mercer seemed a bit embarrassed.
V chuckled, her expression somehow a mix of smug and coy, "Wanna come in and sit? No way! You'd better go to Rebecca or Lucy."
"No, why would I go in there? I've seen you before," Mercer looked puzzled.
V clicked her tongue, her expression turning unfriendly, "Then spit it out!"
"Uh..." Mercer stammered, finally giving a sheepish smile, his voice a bit unsure, "I was wondering... do you... still have money?"
V's eyes widened slowly, yanking open the door, not even caring that she only had a towel wrapped around her.
"What do you mean?" she swallowed hard.
Mercer turned away sheepishly, looking at the hallway lights, "It's just that there are a few small equipment that need quite a bit of money..."
"No! I mean, where's your money?" She pressed a hand on Mercer's shoulder, even her arm, fit with the Mantis Blade, shook slightly though it could chop iron without a quiver.
V stared into Mercer's eyes with a "are you freaking kidding me" expression, "Where's the over five million Euros you had combined?!
We even paid back the money we owed you. I gave you 400,000 Euros, and Rebecca and Qiwei together gave you 200,000 Euros...
You should have close to six million Euros in savings, right!? Where's that money!?"
"I spent it all." Mercer coughed, diverting his gaze.
"You spent it all!!?" V squealed like a groundhog.
In an instant, the previously quiet corridor rang with a series of footsteps—the team members in the dorm clearly heard V's unusual shriek.
Alright then...
It looks like...
Another family meeting is in order.
