Chapter 866 Compensation
+5 Free Coins
“Ahem.” Emma quickly looked away, suddenly feeling a little guilty. In her head, she was already calculating her savings.
Okay, Lucien is the cubs’ daddy, so paying for the bed makes sense. But I’m their mom. I can’t just sit this out. Fine… I’ll chip in one level 10 beast core.
Now that everything was cleared up, she immediately opened Lightcore and shared the good news with the group. She tagged everyone. “Attention, everyone! Big update! The cubs can’t void travel anymore. The Beast God gave us a divine-grade defensive system that temporarily seals their ability. You can all relax now. Go shower, sleep, even use the bathroom without worrying!”
The moment she sent it, the group chat exploded.
“Seriously?” Corvin sent a meme of a jacked guy crying. “I was literally sitting on the toilet just now, debating whether I should buckle up. Guess that saves me the trouble.”
“Finally. I can go home without stressing about it.” Calum let out a breath..
At the castle gates, Silas walked in with faint dark circles under his eyes. His uniform was still crisp as ever, but there was a heavy, worn-out look in his eyes, like life had been beating him down nonstop.
He had been up all night, and it felt like half his brain cells had just flatlined.
When he saw Emma’s message in the group chat, he said, “Thank God. Also… Lucien, how much are you planning to pay me for emotional damages?”
I don’t work for free. I’m not taking the fall for nothing. Emotional damages. I’m getting that, no question.
Seeing Silas bring up compensation, Corvin jumped in right after him. “Lucien, don’t forget mine. I got it the worst. I want the biggest payout.”
“Me too,” Marcus added.
“Same here,” Alaric chimed in.
“I literally ran around naked. You owe me for that.” Malrik wrote.
“Don’t forget mine either,” Calum quickly added.
Lucien tagged him. “Calum, didn’t I already pay you for yours?”
There’s no way he’s getting another cent out of me.
“And my bed,” Drake said.
“Me too,” Kieran cut in.
“Yeah, I’m not getting left out either,” Edric added.
Jim, on the other hand, sent nothing but a single punctuation mark to make it clear he expected compensation too.
Emma looked at the flood of messages, everyone lining up to squeeze money out of Lucien, and felt just a tiny bit sorry for him.
