If Rita had taken the Legion Token to the open market, the already-established powerful factions would have spared no expense to buy it. Forget just one A-rank skill—three A-rank skills and a hefty sum of gold wouldn't have been out of the question.
And this wasn't just any Legion Token—it was the first Legion Token in all of Blue Star! Its value was immeasurable.
Much like how the twelve alien races of Lania Kaia subtly competed, the nations of Blue Star were also locked in a quiet rivalry.
With her strength, Rita could have easily protected the token from any underhanded schemes. She hadn't relied on any resources or training from the Special Affairs Bureau (SAB), so she wasn't obligated to assist them. Selling the token to them at her asking price was practically a gift.
Rita, however, decided not to sugarcoat her reasoning. "I'm giving you a deal this time because of the token's importance. But next time, we'll stick to business."
