Falling for the same trick again

Cassian was still in shock, even ten minutes after learning he'd become a rich man, his mind racing with thoughts of what to do next. The realization that he'd earned such a fortune in such a short time made him wonder just how wealthy his colleagues, who had been working here for years, might be. Setting that thought aside, his mind drifted to Cassandra, who had played a significant role in the mission by helping the children escape from the academy's testing grounds.

Curious about her share, he asked, "Did Detective Cassandra also receive a reward?"

"Yeah, but not as much as you," Sher replied, stretching slightly, her mood noticeably lighter. "Those noble parents didn't give her much, but the city compensated her. I can't tell you the exact amount, but it's enough. Combined with what she's earned over the past few months, she could probably fund a small army of a thousand lower-circle warriors like you on her own."
