Making a Deal

Meanwhile, Mirya had many thoughts on her mind. That was a number of crystals that she couldn't dream of putting her hands on before.

After all, as a subordinate of the Stokes family in the 6th stage of cultivation, Mirya received only ten medium-grade crystals per month.

That was more than 1,500 times less than what Minos offered to her!

'With this agreement, as no one else will know about it, I can set aside a portion to cover the taxes of those people who leave the city for the next few years that I still have to stay here... As for the rest, I can stay with them for myself!' she thought to herself.

If 20,000 people left the City of Waters, that would be just 80,000 low-grade crystals a year in taxes. Let's suppose they still yield about 20,000 more crystals a year, so in 10 years, it would be about a million crystals.

'Hmm, if I keep the difference, I'll still get a number of crystals equivalent to decades of hard work!'
