He had already shared his revelations and map with Aiden. If Aiden asked for an unreasonable share, he could only suffer in silence.
Aiden heard Oliver's words and didn't put too much thought into it and said,
"Let's just share it equally. How about each person takes a third?"
Hearing this, Oliver was shocked.
"A-a third?"
Aiden tilted his head to the side, curious.
"Are you saying I shouldn't take a third?"
"No, I'm saying I shouldn't take a third," said Oliver quickly.
"All I did was bring the map. The main combat power is still going to be you and Raelia, after all. A third seems a bit unreasonable."
Hearing Oliver's words, Aiden just shook his head.
"Don't underplay your role in information gathering. So heartless information brokers could even demand half of the total haul. You getting a third is more than deserved."
Oliver wanted to still say sothing, but after seeing the resolute look in Aiden's eyes, he quickly gave up.
"Will Raelia be okay with a third?"
"Of course, she will. Soone as proud as her won't stoop so low as to argue about the shares of treasures. Rember, when it cos to divine credits, she's currently richer than both of us."
It was only then that Oliver rembered that Raelia was the only person who received divine credits from both the theory and practical exams. She really was a person that couldn't be underestimated!
"So, all that leaves now is the ti we set off," asked Oliver.
Aiden smiled.
"Let's set off as soon as possible. Theory lectures are happening less and less to give us as much ti as possible to train. We should have no lectures for the rest of the week, so why not set off tomorrow?"
"What about Raelia?" asked Oliver.
"Don't worry," said Aiden. "I'll speak to her after this. She'll definitely be able to join us tomorrow."
After saying this, Aiden didn't leave first but looked at Oliver with extrely serious eyes.
"But before I leave, I need you to confirm sothing for ."
"What is that?" asked Oliver, puzzled.
"Whether creating a Hers ssenger account will automatically add you into a crazy group chat."
Oliver looked at his friend and secretly swore to help Aiden get as many credits as possible.
The feeling of poverty had evidently fried his friend's brain. Otherwise, how could he say such nonsense with a serious face?
...
Like that, ti passed, and the next day ca.
As roommates, Aiden and Oliver could help wake each other up and make sure they got up on ti.
The two had gotten up early and headed to the camp armory to get stocked up with a good bow and a full quiver of arrows. Since they were venturing into the forest for an unknown amount of ti, they didn't know when they would be able to restock supplies again, so they took as many arrows as possible.
Every mber of their team was primarily an archer, so having a stable supply of arrows was essential.
After leaving the armory, now ard to the teeth, Aiden and Oliver headed to the etup spot and saw that Raelia had already arrived, waiting for them at their destination.
She was wearing brown leather boots and pants with a pale white shirt on.
A quiver full of arrows hung on her back, and her silver hair was tied up neatly in a high ponytail. Her blue eyes were sharp, like those of a glowing wolf eager to hunt.
Aiden could tell, just from a brief look, that Raelia was excited.
She wasn't a descendant of the Goddess of the Hunt for nothing.
"You guys finally arrived," said Raelia in a complaining tone.
Hearing this, Aiden just chuckled.
"If anyone heard you speak, they would have thought we were late. We're still perfectly on ti, you know?"
Hearing this Raelia scratched her head slightly embarrassed.
"I can't help it. It's been so long since I went on my last hunt. I can't help but get a little excited."
As Raelia spoke, her tail wagged rapidly, and even her fangs started growing, a blush appearing on her face.
Oliver saw the sight and was suddenly hit by a flashback of a crazed, silver-haired beauty standing amid a pool of blood and giant lion carcasses. He felt a cold tingle run down his spine.
Aiden saw this sight and had a completely different reaction.
'Cute,' he thought.
Aiden smiled and subconsciously stretched out his hand, ruffling Raelia's hair and her cute, fluffy wolf ears.
"A-Aiden Evans! What are you doing?" cried Raelia, now flustered, her face blushing red. Enjoy new chapters from empire
"Ah, sorry," said Aiden, quickly apologizing.
"You reminded of a puppy so much that I did it without even realizing."
Hearing this, Raelia turned a little embarrassed and asked, is it because i'm a werewolf
Aiden just shook his head
"No, it's because you're cute."
The second Aiden said these words, Raelia's already blushing face turned completely red. She quickly rushed up and placed both her hands on his mouth, preventing him from saying another word.
"A-As expected of a divine descendant of the God of Song, your words can cast a magical effect. You need to be kept in check."
Oliver heard Raelia's excuse and just chuckled.
"I don't think his bloodline is the reason those words left you so flustered, little lady."
Raelia seed to sense Oliver's gaze and snapped at him.
"Mr. McKinley, what are you doing just standing there? Hand the map!"
Being targeted by the embarrassed wolf girl, Oliver grumbled under his breath, but he still handed Raelia the map.
As soon as Raelia opened up the map and took a look at it, she quickly entered professional mode, and the flustered look quickly left her.
Aiden and Oliver didn't disturb her. Things like this should be left up to the experts.
A few minutes later, Raelia rolled up the map and securely placed it on her belt as she spoke.
