While the captain of the team tried to persuade them, Chaplin interrupted him.
“I spent so much money to hire you to work for me. Do you think you can take it easy? We didn’t encounter any danger at the entrance, and we’ve been walking for several hours without any problems since we entered!”
“If there’s danger, there’s no way we could’ve made it until now!”
Chaplin was certain that nothing would go wrong. The lives of these people meant nothing to him.
The captain and his teammates scowled. They did not expect Chaplin to be so heartless.
Under normal circumstances, everyone would be wary of such a dangerous place. However, this guy was ordering them to rush headlong into this place. He was simply outrageous.
“Since you’ve accepted my payment, you have to follow my orders or you’ll get it from me!” Chaplin threatened angrily, intimidating them with his status.
Captain Nico Wick scowled unhappily. He had never taken on such a mission before. This guy was simply disgusting.
However, favonovel.com knew Chaplin. He was a legendary level-five alchemist with a noble status, not someone ordinary folks like them could afford to offend. Even famous hunters like them had to tread carefully.
“If you perform well, I’ll consider recommending you to the Hunters Association when we return! Maybe they’ll assign some special missions to you!”
Chaplin used the carrot-and-stick approach and said some nice words too.
Sure enough, Nico was moved by Chaplin’s promise. As a large team of hunters, they had to complete some relatively difficult special tasks to enhance their reputation and gain status and money at the same time.
More importantly, special missions of the Hunters Association would only be given to special teams. It would be great if they could get such assignments.
Nico believed that Chaplin had the authority to put in a few words at the Hunters Association. Although the other party looked like a sneaky fat gnome, his influence was unquestionable.
Thinking of this, Nico decided to bear with it. After all, nothing was more important than his future. He just had to be more careful and bear with this indignity.
“Don’t worry, we’ll do our best to ensure your safety, but you have to listen to our orders when we arrive at dangerous places,” Nico emphasized.
If Chaplin insisted on doing things his own way, there was nothing they could do. Few traces could be found if they died in a place like this.
They would not feel the pressure if the other party were an ordinary person, but they would be held accountable for the death of a level-five alchemist.
