Chapter 652: Testing

This elder of the Mercenary Guild, acting out of his own self-interest, would only do what was right if it ensured his own benefit.

If his interests were not prioritized, regardless of whether the matter at hand led to success or failure, he would not take decisive action.

This is the fundamental difference between him and the female knight.

After all, he was just a businessman, it was expected of him to act out of self-interest.

If what he was doing did not gain him any advantage, he wouldn't bother with it.

It was as simple as that, easy to understand.

Unfortunately, not everyone could understand his perspective, especially not the female knight.

"As long as we succeed, everything will work out. What's there to worry about?"

That woman, Violet, she will have to follow our instructions and act to our satisfaction.

The elder shook his head with a bitter smile, refuting the knight's assertion.

"It's impossible! I can't predict how powerful that woman really is!"
