Jilial's expression twisted the moment Averon mentioned the rewards.
The earlier slaps had barely caused any damage because of the massive difference in strength between them, but that did not make the humiliation any lighter.
Under normal circumstances, Jilial would have already retaliated. The only reason he was not doing anything was because of Avery.
But giving the rewards?
That was too much.
"No," the leader of the Lord Qizhal's team, Jilial, said decisively. "The rewards from the first Boss kill are much more valuable than normal rewards. We will not hand them over."
"Miss Water Elemental Spirit—"
"But we can negotiate," Jilial interrupted quickly before Averon could finish.
Avery looked—showed that she was—slightly disappointed that she had not been called.
Averon laughed under his breath before crossing his arms. "The negotiation is simple. Give us everything."
"That is too much."
"You really aren't the people who should be saying that."
Jilial's mouth closed.
