Chapter 39:
In this turbulent era, respect and appreciation were all useless words. Strength was the cornerstone of everything.
If the license issued by the Parkland plutocrat had not passed through the checkpoint to inform the union officers before they entered the base, if Theon had not taken an interest in the mercenary and called up his assignment records, if Zero had not killed a butcher alone in Silvertree.
In that case, Sean wouldn’t come to the temporary stop, and he wouldn’t give Zero Open a level three or above mercenary mission.
And all of this was dependent on its strength!
Without power, you can only live like a dog in the wilderness.
Only if you have sufficient strength will you be respected, as well as other resources.
A butcher was a Level 3 dangerous monster. Any mercenary or hunter under Rank 3 could upgrade their license by at least one rank by killing a butcher.
At that time, Zero had no license, so even if he killed the butcher, he could only obtain the acknowledgement of the primary rank.
Of course, the Parkland trade unions were skeptical about the zeros.
