Chapter-37 The Kaltain organization

"Reward!"

Everyone was stunned for a moment when faced with such a breathtaking smile. When they came back to their senses, all of them looked at each other and firmly shook their head.

"Senior, this is what we should do! Not to mention that we have already promised to protect senior. So, there is no need for a reward."

"Yes, senior! In fact, we have already received such a big reward by eliminating an S-level beast!!"

"Yeah! I just checked our team ranking, and we are already on the top of the ranking. Damn! I really didn't expect so many points for an S-level star beast. Our first day's harvest is really worth it!"

Imanuel chuckled after hearing these remarks, "Don't refuse this reward. It is what all of you need at this moment."

Everyone was confused after hearing this. Then, under the confused eyes of students, Imanuel took out a black briefcase from his space button. Their eyes widened as the contents inside were revealed.

"This is…"

All of them looked at Imanuel with disbelief in their eyes. Imanuel calmly said, "This is I-02 soothing agent, it should be enough for all of you to use."

Before others could say anything, Kester said with a deep voice, "No, Senior! We can't accept this precious reward! Please don't worry about us. We, from the Empire, are not fragile creatures who can't even bear this much… so, please take it back…"

Mira also spoke from the side, "Yes, Senior! We really can't take it, all of us are in good spirit. So, please don't worry!"

Even though everyone really wanted to take it, all of them knew the preciousness of this thing. It can be seen from Kester's refusal who has the highest status among all of them.

As someone related to the Grand Marshal of the Empire, he does not lack anything. But even their family is only assigned ten I-02 soothing agents every month because of the short supply.

Imanuel frowned slightly after hearing this. He knew that some of the materials of this soothing agents were only found in one of the planets under the regulation of Alliance. These materials are carefully manipulated by the Alliance, because of which a very low proportion of these materials is traded with the Empire.

The reason is obvious, who will want to see their enemy heal from a serious disease. But…

"I know what all of you are worried about, but please rest assured. I have a lot of them. Enough to sustain you for a year, even if you take one every day."

Seeing their hesitant expression, Imanuel sighed helplessly and finally said, "Alright, then take it as protection fee. Please don't refuse this time, or I will feel uneasy…"

Everyone finally took one for themselves under Imanuel's persuasion and thanked him with a grateful expression. To be honest, all of them have been having a subtle headache since the battle. But they have long been used to it, so they didn't complain.

Now, having something to relieve it, they could finally sleep peacefully tonight.

Imanuel looked at their relaxed expression and left after saying a few words. The students, who were left behind, were still lamenting at their luck for being able to take Imanuel on a mission with them.

Mira looked at someone's stupid expression and said in disgust, "Hey! Can you do us all a favor and put away that dumb expression!?"

Kester, who had been staring at Imanuel's back, finally snapped back to reality. "Tsk! As a single dog, how dare you say that!? You are just jealous because you can't even see your crush, let alone have a proper chat with him!"

Mira rolled her eyes, clearly unimpressed. "Chat!? Was that even a chat…?"

Kester nearly choked on his own breath at her words. He couldn't help but feel a little aggrieved. Damn it! He finally has a chance to be with his crush, but he didn't dare say something casual to him. If others knew that an extrovert person like him couldn't even hold up a few words with his crush, what would they say!?

Who can be more miserable than him!? His love is so close yet so far away….

"Look, I'm just saying," Mira continued, her voice cutting through his thoughts, "if you're going to keep staring at him like a lovesick puppy, at least try to act like you're not completely smitten. It's embarrassing for all of us."

Kester shot her a glare, "What do you want me to do? Just walk up to him and say, 'Hey, I think we're a good match, let's date?' "he retorted, his voice dripping with sarcasm.

"Be glad that Senior didn't notice anything. " After saying this, Mira walked away.

Kester could only sigh with frustration.

....

Imanuel came back to his advanced camping tent and cleaned himself with the help of a cleansing-bot. He looked around the tent, which had some basic furniture like bed and a small study table.

Imanuel went towards the study table and sat down on the chair. He started looking through medical reports while waiting for someone.

Not long after, he heard a prompt and put aside his computer tab to welcome the visitor, "Vesper."

The tall and burly man who came inside was none other than the personal bodyguard brought by Imanuel, "Young master."

"Did you find anything?"

"Yes, young master. The star beast that appeared earlier was lured in this area. I found some traces of moon grass near the area where it appeared." 

Imanuel narrowed his eyes after hearing this, "No wonder, it was so aggressive towards us."

In fact, the terror of star beasts is no less than zergs. The reason why they are still behind zergs is because they don't easily attack others. As long as someone does not enter their territory, they will not disturb others.

However, moon grass has a special fragrance that not only attracts star beasts, but also stimulates their aggressive nature.

And as per his knowledge, the moon grass definitely does not grow on this planet. So, it is obvious that someone wants to cause trouble.

"In addition, we have found some clues about the hidden force that might be operating here."

Imanuel knew the efficiency of people working under him, so he was not surprised to see that they found it so soon."Which one is it?"

"It's the Kaltain organization..."

Imanuel raised his eyebrow, "Now this is going to be troublesome..."
