Chapter 7: Ch7: The spoils
Inside the Jade Wine Inn, Mo Bai, Mo Fan, and the other three sat together in a modest, average-sized room—consisting of just a bedroom, a bathroom, and a small lounge. They were all gathered closely near the bed, where a large leather sack lay.
"So, it's time to split the loot." Mo Fan's eyes gleamed as he stared at the heavy sack before him, forgetting the injuries covering his entire body and the swollen left eye.
'These treasures are incredible! If I manage to get this many Nia stones every week, combined with my monthly allowance of 30 stones, I'll have over 90—three times as much! This plan really is brilliant despite all the pain we endured.'
"Yes, the split will be as we agreed before: 10% each for Mo Zun, Mo Ning, and Mo Liu. Mo Fan and I will take 35% each. I hope no one has any objections, right?" Mo Bai said calmly, though his body was badly bruised and battered all over his chest, his face remained composed.
"Y-yeah, no problem at all." Mo Zun's eyes glowed greedily as he stared at the sack. He held his right side, groaning quietly in pain, lost in thought.
'It was definitely worth all this beating—10% is about 20 Nia stones. I can immediately pay for treatment from a Master Doctor with two seals, and I'll still have 10 stones left for training. That way, I'll break into the top ten soon. Awesome.'
The two others beside Mo Zun nodded with the same hungry looks and wide grins on their faces.
After a brief calculation, Mo Bai began distributing the loot. "There are 206 Nia stones. Mo Fan and I will each take 70 stones, and the three of you will get 22 each." He handed a small sack to each of the three, then gave Mo Fan a medium sack filled with stones.
'This massive amount of resources will let me speed up my training drastically on all fronts. Father will definitely be surprised by my brilliant plan. Heh, now he'll know he's not the only smart one planning things—I'm clearly smarter than him.'
