Perhaps in the beginning, only one or two individuals thought about this issue and began to act accordingly, but others were not fools.
When someone noticed that a person's earnings increased with a higher position within the organization, others began to emulate this.
Ultimately, everyone became solely focused on personal financial gain rather than contributing to the collective wealth.
This is precisely the crux of the issue. Thus, increasing personal profit does not necessarily indicate a positive outcome.
That could even lead to the disintegration of the entire wealth pyramid.
The key to resolving the issue lies largely in how the leader of the mercenary corps views the situation.
As the leader, they possess the ultimate power.
This kind of power can be converted into equivalent wealth, or even more wealth.
Once this wealth accumulates, it can only continue to increase, eventually filling the union's storehouse.
