Evelyn contemplated. “In that case, I guess I will have to go to the frontline and hunt some mature class aliens. They are quite rare, but not as rare as warrior or elite class aliens. It should be doable.”
“How about this?” Nathan raised a finger before pointing at the aliens on the table. “We sell those aliens to the sword saint?”
“Selling those aliens?” Bella looked surprised. “Now that I think about it, we can do that. If we sell those aliens, we should be able to get a few mature class cores.”
Neyeid nodded in agreement. “Fair enough. Currently, they are aware of our movement and by presenting this alien, they will be able to figure out a lot of information.
“Still, they aren’t worth much, since it’s better if we give the summoner and the familiars as well.
“If I were Sullivan, I would definitely demand the summoner. With the Frexia Academy, the Holy Kingdom, and the Azilia Kingdom as his backers, he could get all the people he wanted for the interrogation. But once he got it, it was unlikely for this summoner to be returned to us. In fact, he might have died.
“So, selling these aliens will probably only be worth 3 or 4 mature class cores unless one of us is coming to the negotiation instead of leaving everything to Nathan.”
After listening to Neyeid’s explanation, Evelyn’s face turned solemn. “I don’t want to meet him. And it’s better not to have any contact for the time being.
“In that case, just give him all the cores we have first. Nathan can handle the negotiation and get as many cores as possible from Sullivan. As for the rest, I will think about it.”
“Got it. How long do you need to absorb all those cores?”
“I am not sure.” Nathan shook his head. “As early as one month or two months at the latest.”
“Can you keep him alive for that long?” Evelyn turned to Bella.
“I can order him to eat and swallow.” Bella explained. “So I can keep him alive indefinitely.”
“In that case, we will do it like this for the time being. Once we have secured everything, we will begin the interrogation.”
“I will handle the barrier to ensure the curse can’t be activated remotely.” Christopher nodded.
“Shouldn’t we wait until we catch another one, Captain?” Neyeid asked. “I mean, one or two months should be enough for us to catch another person, right?”
Evelyn shook her head. “Considering we have gotten two of them in the span of one month, they will definitely play it safe. They might even stay hidden for one or two months, so there’s no guarantee about it.
“That’s why our objective this time is to find out if they have kidnapped people or inserted the alien inside their body.”
Of course, there was another reason Evelyn wanted to give Nathan 40 mature class cores. It was for the sake of their group. Nathan had done all that without a reward. If he left the group, they could probably hunt him down, but they would end up fighting against the Frexia Academy.
And if Nathan was angry, there was a chance several of their members would fall for his scheme. That was why it was important to balance the reward, especially for Nathan.
“Alright then.” Neyeid nodded in agreement.
Evelyn then gave her orders, “Bella, you are to manage the base. Make sure the prisoner is alive and the familiars aren’t revolting. fгeewёbnoѵel.cσm
“Neyeid. Move out our funds and, if necessary, sell my artifacts to raise some funds. Just make sure that we have a stable fund for the operation.
“Christopher will maintain the barrier and ensure the curse is not active. Sonia will go and find out about the potential people who have been kidnapped by the organization and track them down. Make a list of them.
“Revon. You will follow me to the front line. You like to fight, right? Let’s go and hunt down some aliens.
“Last but not least, Nathan. You are to negotiate with Sullivan regarding the alien. But do it three days later. Sonia will get the list. During the negotiation, I want you to add the mission to search for suspicious people.”
“Got it.” Bella nodded.
“In that case, I will preserve their bodies so that they don’t rot. I’ll make sure nothing goes wrong for the next several days.” Neyeid acknowledged the order.
“Understood.” Christopher and Sonia accepted the arrangement.
“Hahaha. It’s finally time for me to stretch my body. It’s been so long since I had a good fight. I hope those aliens can fight me hard. No. I hope we can find a warrior class alien!” Revon smirked.
“Alright.” Nathan understood the reason he wanted her to do that mission. Considering he would get 40 mature class cores from them, he should accept it and work hard for it. “In that case, I will take my leave here. I don’t want to make them worry about me.”
Evelyn nodded. “Alright.”
Evelyn immediately sent Nathan back with a portal. When he left, Neyeid couldn’t help but ask, “Are you sure about this, Captain? From the way he says it, it’s clear that he is using us to get more than what he needs. Isn’t he a little too greedy?”
“Still, all his efforts are undeniable. By keeping him happy, he will continue working hard for us. If he’s gone, we’ll end up progressing slowly.” Evelyn shook her head.

“But he is a simple man. Why don’t you just give him a head pat or something? I bet he is going to be satisfied.” Bella smirked, teasing Evelyn.
“You want me to sell my dignity?” Evelyn sighed. “Have you been Nathan-fied? Why do you even help him sell me?”
“I’m just offering a simple solution.” Bella shrugged.
…
When Nathan came back, Selena was already asleep, so he thought about retiring for the day, unaware that Sera was still awake.
She covered her body except for her face with her bedsheet. She sat down on the bed while glaring forward as though she thought about something.
