Li Hao didn’t care about anything other than his pay. He still needed to visit the ruins and it wouldn’t do to show up without sufficient treasure.1

Kong Jie cursed to himself and left without another word. Hong Yitang burst out laughing after the inspector general left. “You’ve got some nerve!”0

Kong Jie was a premier heavyweight at the end of the day, but the little guy showed him no face at all! Li Hao was completely unfazed. When the Silver Moon authorities sent him on a rescue mission, they should’ve considered the fact that he might be exposed. He’d briefly considered it as well, but didn’t think too much of it.0

No matter what, he accepted his pay with complete peace of mind. This was payment for a life! There was nothing to be embarrassed about for money that he’d risked his neck to earn. The authorities might not mention it if he didn’t demand to be paid, then ultimately forget about the second portion. There was no time to waste in pretending to be polite. Director General Zhao and the others would absolutely pay him while Earthturner Sword and Light Sword were both by his side.0
