A Lost Item
After the sale of the captives to the Black Market, Del had left the memory of those individuals behind and went to celebrate!
With so many spiritual crystals on hand, his group could enjoy a 'vacation' for a few weeks, partying, drinking, and having fun somewhere in the city of Hadia.
After all, they only received essential economic support from the Blood Triangle Pirates. It wasn't something that gave them a qualitative improvement in their lives.
At least not if they couldn't find the item that the organization was looking for. If that were done, they would receive an exorbitant reward, which might even change the fate of each of them.
The chance given by the pirate group of the Evergreen Empire was like changing from water to wine. If they were successful, even becoming Spiritual Emperors during their lifetime, it wouldn't be impossible for them!
