Chapter 190: Candidate
The dinner ended, and the group began discussing the other matters. As the organization Elian and Bianca created was family-oriented, it was a bit informal.
"And so, during the course of the month, a total of 482 suspected Crows were submitted. Upon investigation, only around 300 were actual Crows, the rest were scammers trying to make everyone believe they were crows for various reasons."
Elian couldn’t help but chuckle at Katri’s report.
Rather than finding the bastards, the world turned on them for profit. Over 300 died just like that. For all the people who suffered because of these bastards. Each Crow submission was a corpse, so assumed deaths did not count.
What interested Elian more was that he was certain that the Crows sought protection from the Big Three. Whether the ones that died were only Crows low on the totem pole remained unseen. But it was ridiculous to be caught up in this as a fake.
The faction’s inner circle were all seated around a lavish living room. As the only two people who left, they were all giving their updates on the matters that concerned the Weapons of Valestra.
"We have a surge in Breakers who wish to join our faction. Most have serviceable work experience and have issues with one of the Big Three guilds. We also have a bunch of Civilians who have decided to become Breakers due to your stream," Katri continued.
Charlotte giggled while interjecting, "A stream that has gotten us a lot of money, by the way. The streaming platforms have all approached us asking for collaborations and advertisements. Bianca might consider it loose change, but it is still a sizable amount."
Elian’s eyes widened; for the money to be sizable to a businesswoman like Charlotte, the funds would have been blinding to the common man. He gripped Bianca’s hand and was about to ask for permission when she smiled radiantly.
"Do as you will, my love. If that amount is not enough, just tell me what you wish. I will spare no expense."
Filled with appreciation for her trust and support, Elian gave his fiancée a soft kiss. The room was divided between those who felt the display of affection was sweet and those that wanted the pair to explode.
"Thank you," Elian turned to Charlotte and Katri and expressed his will, "Use the money from the streams to rebuild the four cities, use it to compensate those affected, and help them get back up. I also want to sponsor a Breaker Training program."
