The Reincarnation of the Kingmaker

Chapter 71: Harvesting the Reward part 3

Out of Kayn's expectations, Echo suddenly decided to step into the conversation, "I am really thankful for what you did for me a while ago. If it wasn't for the timely assistance, there's a good chance that I would have been seriously injured,"

"Echo…" Victor looked at Echo in surprise. He is greatly aware of the capability of the latter, and yet he actually claimed that he would be seriously injured if it wasn't for the assistance that Kayn provided. If that's really the case, then it seems like he had to reconsider his decision.

"I am not that good at making decisions when it comes to this kind of matter as this isn't my area of specialty, but in hopes of mending your view on the Black Panda team for the better, I'll concede my part of the loot," Echo expressed.

"You can't do that!" Alex interrupted. "That's too much,"

"You think Echo's life is not worth that much?" Alice felt disbelief at Alex.

"I don't mean that," Alex shook his head. "It's just that I believe Echo could have still saved himself even without Kayn's assistance," After all, Echo is not just any ordinary assassin. He had even witnessed Echo facing a greater danger than today and still, he managed to survive.

"Alex," Victor tapped Alex's shoulder to stop him from speaking. He already understood what Echo is trying to do here — he is trying to remedy their relationship with Kayn.

"That depends on how much your share of the loot is," Kayn showed a look of interest.

"Well, you could say that I can get a lot," Echo can't say a clear number since what he is offering here is not merely his share of the loot from this dungeon raid as he is also willing to give more as long as it could fix their team's problem.

"I actually didn't do much, so I'll concede my share of the loot to Kayn as well," Rys added. He doesn't want Kayn's first experience in accepting a job offer from one of his classmates to turn out to be a terrible choice. If that ever happens, he'd be blamed by all of his classmates for why Kayn would never accept their offer anymore. Moreover, he also doesn't want to have any sort of unpleasant taint in his friendship with Kayn as he values the bond they built over the years of being classmates.

Joshua and James quickly understood what Echo and Rys' is trying to do, but their Captain beat them to it first.

"Since this is technically my fault, I'll also concede my share of the loot," Victor finally decided. He can't reinstate the items he had taken from the list as he deemed them necessary for the growth of the Black Panda team. At the same time, he also has to do something to fix their problem right now. After hearing Echo's idea, he thought, "I can't affect the interest of the Black Panda team, but I don't mind if it only affects my own interest as long as it fixes this problem that I have recklessly created,"

"Are all of your shares combined together plus mine enough for me to get all the Molten Swords, Ice Swords, Ice Bearing Daggers, and Molten Bearing Daggers?" Kayn finally decided to reveal his intention.

"If you don't mind me asking, why do you need all of those items?" Victor can't help but ask.

"I want to have enough to last me until I reached the 31st floor of the 'Tower',"

"Having only two or three of each should be enough though,"

"I beg to differ,"

"Won't you try to reconsider just having five… no, ten of each?"

"It would have been fine if you presented this idea to me a while ago, but because you took so long to decide, I ought to change my mind,"

Understanding that Kayn won't back down in his desire to get all the Molten Swords, Ice Swords, Ice Bearing Daggers, and Molten Bearing Daggers no matter what, Victor called out to his team to gather together at the corner and discuss whether they should agree on Kayn's terms or not.

"It's very obvious that he is just trying to cause us trouble," Alex expressed.

"Don't forget that we cause trouble to him first," Alice reminded everyone.

"But that still doesn't warrant him to treat us this way, right?" Alex is still adamant about accepting Kayn's terms. "He is just alone, and there are eight of us here. Why don't we go for a vote and see if there are more people that agree to accept Kayn's terms or not? First off, I don't agree. Just who does Kayn think he is? Now, how about all of you?"

"I agree with Kayn's terms," Echo muttered.

Alice: "I agree, as well,"

Diana: "I agree,"

Rys: "Me too,"

"I have to agree too," Victor felt helpless. He was the one that brought this situation to the Black Panda team, so he naturally has to fix it.

"I abstain," Joshua expressed. With five people agreeing with Kayn's terms, their vote obviously won't matter anymore. Also, he would have expressed his agreement too. The only reason he did not do that is that he is concerned with Alex's feelings.please visit

"I also abstain," James similarly felt the same as his twin brother.

"You guys…" Alex felt disbelief. He seriously thought that everyone was feeling the same as him. Turns out that he is actually the only one who felt that way.

"I guess we have reached a conclusion," Victor smiled at everyone. He approached Alex and tapped his back before muttering, "We have wronged Kayn, so this is the least we can do to make things fair, right? Moreover, we can't offend the son-in-law of Mayor Sebastian, lest he decides to cause trouble to the Yin Yang Dynasty. It's not worth it to let that happen just for this small matter,"

"I understand," As much as he doesn't want to accept it, after hearing Victor's explanation, Alex finally relented. Nevertheless, he no longer views Kayn in a positive light. "Everyone on top would always act arrogant and trample people like us,"

Unbeknownst to Alex, Kayn actually felt apologetic for the way he is acting right now. Unfortunately, because Natas wanted him to get all the Molten Swords, Ice Swords, Ice Bearing Daggers, and Molten Bearing Daggers for fate know why he could only swallow his feelings.

"I'll make sure to make it up to you guys in the future," Kayn swore inwardly. Although he isn't someone who likes to act heroic anymore after what he had went through, he still knows what is right and wrong. If he is going to act rudely and take advantage of everyone all the time just because he experienced betrayal and was mistreated, then he'd be no different from the enemies he swore to have his revenge. He refuses to become like them.

"We decided to make a vote on whether to agree on your terms or not," Victor muttered.

"And what is the answer?" Kayn felt a bit nervous deep inside. Of course, he made sure not to reveal it on his face. On the surface, he remained solemn.

"We agree on your terms,"

"I am glad we reached a deal," Kayn put his arm forward.

"I hope you'd forgive us for this," Victor shook Kayn's hand.

"What happened again?"

"Oh, nothing,"

Both Kayn and Victor started laughing it out.

With that, Kayn left the tent in satisfaction.

On the contrary, Victor and the main members of the Black Panda team felt like they got taken advantage of only that they don't know how and where.

Since the matter with Kayn was already finished, Victor proceeded to allocate each member of the Black Panda team their share of the loot.

Everyone was shocked after knowing that all Molten Swords, Ice Swords, Ice Bearing Daggers, and Molten Bearing Daggers were picked by Victor and the rest of the main members. But on second thought, they assumed that it should be because they want to give better equipment, materials, and consumables to the rest of them.

No one thought that it was because Kayn hoarded all of them.

After everyone took their share, the remaining items were quickly recorded by Marlon and Kayn before being taken away by the Porters. Those items would be delivered to the Yin Yang Guild. As for what the guild would use them for, it's obviously going to be used as capital for future expeditions and development, and to pay for any if not all expenses.

Once all of that was finished, Victor lead the team to do one last search on the entire dungeon and do a clean sweep on anything that remains.

Along the way, they found a few common-rank and uncommon-rank items, which no one wanted so they were recorded by Marlon to be taken to the Yin Yang Guild.

After a few hours and making sure that the dungeon is already cleared, the Black Panda team finally decided to leave in triumph.

"I'll be going now," Kayn quickly bid farewell after exchanging some short pleasantries with everyone on the Black Panda team. It was necessary to conduct so that he won't be treated or viewed as rude or anything negative by them.

While walking, Kayn kept on glancing at the Storage Ring that Victor handed to him. Inside were obviously all Molten Swords, Ice Swords, Ice Bearing Daggers, and Molten Bearing Daggers that were found in the dungeon.

He felt excited and at the same time dying to know what Natas intended to do with all of these.

Although he is someone from the future, that doesn't necessarily mean he knows everything.

At the same time, deep inside of him, he hopes that it is going to be worth all of the efforts he had executed. Until now, he still feels guilty about what he had done to the Black Panda team.
