538: Light Clone Technique

The staff at the adventurers' guild marked their mission as complete with a stamp of approval. As the paperwork was finalized, the discussion quickly shifted to the topic of rewards. Originally, the reward for the mission was set to include six Level One Ki Techniques of the wind element. However, Markus, feeling emboldened by their successful mission, saw an opportunity to negotiate for more.

"Given the scale and the risks we took, and considering we not only saved the children but also completely destroyed one of their bases, I think we deserve more than what's initially offered," Markus argued, his voice firm and confident.

The staff member behind the desk raised an eyebrow, a smirk playing on his lips. "You did well, that's true. But the reward was agreed upon when you accepted the mission. We can't just change terms on a whim," he replied smoothly, his demeanor cool and collected.
