Chapter 55: Dividing the Money

The noise and the blaring horns attracted many martial artists to gather around.

“It’s the Hammer of Flame squad. Facing them are the members of the Tiger Fang squad.”

“How did they end up fighting each other?” The martial artists murmured in discussion. The Hammer of Flame and the Tiger Fang squads were both somewhat famous within the Jiangnan Base City. However, under the reprimand of the Supply Base Guards, the Hammer of Flame squad managed to suppress their anger and calm themselves, as challenging the authority of the military district was out of the question.

“Stop!” A loud shout rang out. Luo Feng turned his head and saw a thin, short man rushing over with two other members of the Tiger Fang squad.

Chen Gu, standing beside Luo Feng, whispered, “Luo Feng, this is the leader of the Tiger Fang squad, ‘Panya,’ also known as ‘Tiger Fang.’ His weapon is a triangular military dagger. He’s not someone to mess with.” Luo Feng couldn’t help but be surprised; this short, thin, and unremarkable man was actually the leader of the Tiger Fang squad!

“Tiger Fang?” Luo Feng carefully observed this man nicknamed “Tiger Fang,” then shifted his gaze to Zhang Zehu standing behind the Tiger Fang leader. At this moment, Zhang Zehu sneered at him mockingly, “Enjoying yourself, Zhang Zehu! Not only you, but your entire Tiger Fang squad, I will make you regret it, I definitely will!!!”

Before Luo Feng entered the wilderness, he had thought that having his legs broken by Zhang Haobai was already ruthless.

But now…

The Tiger Fang squad, without any prior grudge against him, had tried to wipe out his entire team as if it were nothing. Compared to the cruelty of the Tiger Fang squad, Zhang Haobai seemed too inexperienced.

“Captain.”

“Captain.”

Zhang Zehu and the other two stood behind their captain. The Tiger Fang and Hammer of Flame squads faced each other, while a large crowd gathered around. The patrol squad leader from the Supply Base coldly said, “Ga Feng, Panya, I don’t care what you two are discussing. However, if you start a fight, don’t blame me. Brothers, let’s go.”

With a wave of his hand, the squad leader didn’t even bother to stay and monitor them. He had given his warning, and he believed these people wouldn’t dare to act recklessly.

“Tiger Fang!”

Ga Feng sneered, “You’re ruthless! I underestimated you, Panya. I didn’t realize you could be this cruel and sinister! First, you used a sniper rifle to ambush us from a distance, then attracted a pack of beasts to surround our squad, leaving us no chance of survival. If it weren’t for the help of a powerful expert, our entire squad would have been wiped out!”

The gathered martial artists gasped in shock.

The Tiger Fang squad had gone too far.

“Ga Feng, don’t speak nonsense,” the Tiger Fang leader scoffed. “Our Tiger Fang squad has never done such things. Don’t try to pin this on us!” Such underhanded actions could never be admitted. Once acknowledged, the Tiger Fang squad would face serious consequences.

“My brother’s arm was shattered by your sniper’s bullet,” Ga Feng’s face darkened.

“I said it didn’t happen, so it didn’t,” the Tiger Fang leader coldly replied. “If you have evidence, go ahead and report it to the Security Bureau for judgment! Don’t waste your breath here. Brothers, let’s go.” The Tiger Fang leader was decisive, refusing to say another word to the Hammer of Flame squad.

Ga Feng, Chen Gu, and others looked grim, and Luo Feng clenched his teeth in anger.

But Luo Feng was well aware that their group had no evidence. In fact, within the wilderness, it was common for martial artist squads to kill each other over grudges or valuable treasures, and most cases lacked evidence. Without evidence, even the Limit Martial Arts Institute couldn’t help them seek justice.

“Hmph, we’re leaving!” Ga Feng glared coldly at the departing Tiger Fang squad and barked.

The Hammer of Flame squad could only leave with their anger suppressed.

…

At the Supply Base, Villa A9 temporarily served as the resting place for the Hammer of Flame squad.

“Captain, don’t be angry now,” Luo Feng spoke up. “Let the Tiger Fang squad enjoy their moment for now. When we enter the wilderness later… we can deal with them then.” Luo Feng’s words brought smiles to the previously furious faces of the Hammer of Flame squad members.

Chen Gu patted Luo Feng’s shoulder, “That’s right. We still have you in our team. Taking them down won’t be hard.”

“An honorable man can wait ten years to avenge,” Ga Feng grinned. “Besides, we won’t need to wait long. With Luo Feng on our side, the Tiger Fang squad is doomed!” Instantly, the Hammer of Flame squad members’ faces lit up with smiles, and Zhang Ke, who had been tense earlier, finally let out a rare sigh of relief. Psychokineticists all had a period of rapid power enhancement.

Luo Feng’s current strength was already formidable, and it would continue to rise rapidly!

In short… the Tiger Fang squad had no chance at all!

“Let’s not talk about the Tiger Fang squad anymore. Let’s first deal with the monster materials we obtained from this hunt,” Ga Feng suggested. “Although our outing wasn’t very long this time, we managed to kill four general-level monsters: one Bloodthirsty Tank, one Dual-Tailed Ocelot, one Tiger Mastiff Hound, and one Hunter!”

On their return journey, Luo Feng’s team encountered a low-tier General-level Tiger Mastiff Hound monster. With Luo Feng and Ga Feng spearheading the assault, they effortlessly vanquished the beast.

However, the Supply Base is small. If we sell the materials from the Hunter, it might easily draw attention. This could lead to the martial artist squad that previously injured the Silver Moon Direwolf discovering us,” Ga Feng cautioned.

“Right.”

Chen Gu nodded in agreement, “We should wait until we return to the base city to sell the Hunter’s materials. We can sell the other monster materials here.” For martial artist squads, soldier-level monsters were indeed not very valuable. The valuable ones were the general-level monsters… of course, the terrifying lord-level monsters were priceless!

The high-tier general-level Silver Moon Direwolf was not only exceptionally rare, but also hailed from the royal wolf bloodline. Its value could rival that of an ordinary low-tier lord-level beast, commanding a truly astronomical price!

“Everyone, go have a meal and rest first, then we’ll go sell the materials,” Ga Feng smiled.

…

After the meal, the six members of the Hammer of Flame squad collectively approached the local representative of the HR Alliance and directly sold their monster materials to him, excluding those from the Silvermoon Direwolf.

Inside Villa A9, the Hammer of Flame squad members gathered around a computer, dividing their earnings.

“Luo Feng collected more common soldier-level monsters, ranging from G to F grade. Each soldier-level monster’s materials averaged around 6,000 credits, so Luo Feng earned about 120,000 credits from these common soldier-level monsters,” the captain explained while distributing the money. “Wei Tie collected 12 types of common soldier-level monster materials, all F-grade, averaging around 8,000 credits each, totaling approximately 100,000 credits.”

“Wei Qing collected common soldier-level monster materials…”

“Zhang Ke collected common soldier-level monster materials, a total of 11 types…”

The six members of the Hammer of Flame squad quickly divided the earnings from the common soldier-level materials.

“Alright, now it’s time to divide the general-level monster earnings. The Dual-Tailed Ocelot’s materials sold for a total of 12 million credits,” Ga Feng looked at everyone. “During the hunt, I played the main role. If there were no complications, I should take sixty percent of the earnings from this Dual-Tailed Ocelot. However… during the hunt, we were first attacked by a pack of beasts, and Luo Feng saved everyone. His contribution was significant. Zhang Ke was severely injured, sacrificing his health for the team, so this general-level monster’s earnings will be divided with Zhang Ke taking sixty percent, me ten percent, Luo Feng fifteen percent, and Wei Tie, his brother, and Chen Gu each taking five percent!”

“Any objections?” Ga Feng asked.

“No objections,” Luo Feng nodded in agreement.

It was a rule among martial artist squads that if someone was injured and disabled during a mission, they would receive sixty percent of the earnings from that mission. It was essentially a form of compensation.

“So, out of the 12 million credits, 7.2 million will go to Zhang Ke, 1.8 million to Luo Feng, 1.2 million to me, and 600,000 each to Chen Gu and the Wei brothers,” Ga Feng entered the data. “As for the Tiger Mastiff Hound we killed on our way back, it sold for 10 million credits. Everyone contributed significantly in this battle, so Luo Feng and I will each take thirty percent, and Chen Gu, Wei Tie, Wei Qing, and Zhang Ke will each take ten percent. Any objections?”

Everyone nodded in agreement.

Zhang Ke hadn’t actually contributed to the last battle, but everyone considered it as a form of compensation. Zhang Ke himself didn’t say much… martial artist squads were quite considerate in terms of camaraderie.

“So, Luo Feng and I each get 3 million, and the rest of you each get 1 million.”

Ga Feng smiled slightly, “Finally, the Bloodthirsty Tank sold for the highest price, reaching 16 million credits. Chen Gu contributed the most, landing the killing shot, so he gets sixty percent! The rest of you contributed equally, so Luo Feng, Wei Tie, Wei Qing, and Zhang Ke each get ten percent. I’ll forgo my share.” If there was one person in the team who was naturally the wealthiest, it was Ga Feng.

Normally, when hunting general-level monsters, Ga Feng was almost always the main force, so over the years, Ga Feng had earned several times, even ten times, more than the others.

Therefore, when he hadn’t contributed much effort, Ga Feng was always modest.

“In other words, Chen Gu gets 9.6 million, and Zhang Ke, Luo Feng, Wei Qing, and Wei Tie each get 1.6 million.”

“Let’s tally it up.”

“Chen Gu ends up with 11.26 million, Luo Feng with 6.52 million, me with 4.2 million, Zhang Ke with 9.91 million, Wei Tie with 3.3 million, and Wei Qing with 3.32 million.” Ga Feng declared the final distribution with a hearty laugh, “And of course, we still possess the most invaluable treasure—the remains of the Silvermoon Direwolf. That alone will undoubtedly command a celestial fortune!”
