"Sir… I have checked. There are a total of five Tier 4 beast essences. Three of them are matching up with the information we have, including the Tier 4 ornithomimus."
As soon as the manager heard that report, his eyes brightened. He immediately politely lowered his head to Clovis. "We’re extremely grateful for your help in handling those beasts. We have scouted that area and located three of them. We believe that there is one more Tier 4 beast, but we couldn’t find it previously.
"It turned out there was another Tier 4 beast that we didn’t suspect. If not for your group, we would have faced a lot of problems. As the manager and the representative of the city, I’d like to extend my gratitude to you and your team."
Clovis nodded his head. "It’s fine. Just keep this a secret."
"If that is your wish." The manager nodded.

"If you have confirmed it, can you handle the selling procedures?" Clovis asked.
"Absolutely." The manager fell silent for a moment. "If I may know, how long are you planning to stay here, sir?"
"Am I not welcomed?"
"No, of course not. If you are going to stay here for a little longer, I can ask Miss Silvia to be your group’s personal assistant. You don’t have to come to the information center. Miss Silvia will be the one coming to you and handling all the processes."
"Hmm…" Clovis thought for a moment. "Well, it’s true that our team here is to find as many Tier 4 beasts as possible. My group is planning to stay here for another week. I hope that we are not bothering you by hunting Tier 4 beasts, right? Maybe 20 Tier 4 beasts should be enough."
"!!!" The manager understood the subtle hint in Clovis’ words. If this were true, it meant that the wasteland wouldn’t have that many Tier 4 beasts anymore. And the remaining groups could thin out the number of low-tier beasts. So they could focus all their resources and manpower to handle the other front.
"That…" The manager was thinking about something. He said, "I can help you as the manager of this camp, I’ll convince the city to give you ten percent more of what you should be receiving in addition to waiving all the costs."
Melody was slightly surprised. This must be Clovis’ real goal.
Yes, because this result couldn’t be published, they would have a hard time catching up with the others. If they got this ten percent bonus, they might be able to do it.
In addition, the manager didn’t know that the group had split into three, meaning that this condition was only given to them.
"That sounds good. I thank the city for being so generous despite the current condition."
"No, no. We are the ones who should be thankful." The manager smiled.
"This is the receipt, sir." Silvia returned with a small piece of paper.
"Thank you." Clovis stood up, ready to leave. The manager gave a signal for Silvia to see them off personally.
Before leaving, Clovis added, "Miss Silvia. My teammates are rather unique. They will probably hunt down more Tier 4 beasts and submit them directly."
"How would you like me to handle it, sir?"
"Just giving them a normal price is fine. They are from wealthy families, so they won’t really care about money. Even if I tell them about it, they most likely won’t listen. No, I’m just hoping that they won’t feel insulted when they are given more money." Clovis slapped his forehead, showing how hard it was to take care of his group.
Melody was chuckling inwardly.
"I understand." Silvia nodded. "I’ll try to take care of them as normal as possible."
"Thank you."
Noel immediately walked to his next destination. As Vina said, there was a pink-clothed man waiting for them.
Without hesitation, Clovis and Melody approached him.
The man furrowed his eyebrows, glaring at Clovis as if he were picking a fight with him.
However, Clovis took out the coin and placed it on the table, the crackling sound startling him.
"!!!" The man looked at the coin for two seconds before glancing around as his hand slid down the table. He hid the coin in his pocket as he said, "Follow me."
They were taking one turn after another before ultimately reaching a small tent surrounded by a lot of other tents. There was nothing suspicious about this tent, but when they entered, they saw a curtain that actually blocked half of the tent.
The man didn’t enter with them for some reason.
As if knowing who they were even without saying anything, Vina said, "Well, well. I thought that you would need your group to handle all five Tier 4 beasts. It’s true that it will be much easier. However, I have never expected that both of you are enough to handle all of them.
"Even though you are only Tier 2 and Tier 3 humans…" Vina paused for a moment. "Do you bring the locket?"
"Yeah. It is here." Clovis nodded, showing the locket. "Don’t forget about the reward."
"I know." Vina’s hand stuck out of the curtain, asking for the locket.
Clovis hesitated for a moment, but Vina added, "Do you think I will be able to escape from here? I have trusted you enough to not even place any guards around here. Unfortunately, this is an official business. Even though we know each other, I have to follow this tradition."
Clovis sighed. He put the locket in her hand.
"It’s really the locket." Vina confirmed it. "As per the agreement, I’ll be giving you the information about the secret of the eighty thousand beasts that are currently threatening your city as well as the information regarding the south. And I hope that you don’t record this."
It seemed that Vina was able to find out about everything from them completing this mission as a pair as well as Melody, who was secretly recording everything.
Clovis nodded to Melody.
After Melody turned off the recording, Vina opened her mouth. "The secret I’m talking about is the location of those eighty thousand beasts. They are currently in…"
