Too good to be true.

"Mr. James I am calling to inquire if the mission you posted 1 week ago is still valid?" Susan asked the merchant.

Compared to other types of missions, investigation missions were more time crucial. The more time was wasted the lesser the chances of solving the case. This also meant the reward for solving the case had to be increased.

"Yeah it is, but I currently don't have the funds to increase the reward." The merchant said.

"Alright, I shall inform the adventurer who is interested in the mission." Susan said, but as she was about to cut the communication link, the merchant asked a final question.

"If I may ask, who is this adventurer that is suddenly interested in my mission?"

"It is adventurer Zero." Susan explained who Blake was and the investigative feats.

"I heard he was the one that tracked the notorious leader of the creed gang and their hideout?" The merchant asked receiving a confirmatory nod from Susan.
