Chapter 160 I Want It All (3)

Rowan chuckled, "I needed certain resources and information from you, so I think my actions should warrant a more favorable return from your end."

"I told you he was direct. Of course, we intend to do so and much more." This time it was Nana that spoke, "If you check your personal Trailer–Motor. You would see the resources that had been dropped for you, a gift from Circe and a personal surprise from Scarvros here."

"A surprise?" Rowan asked as he took more cookies from the plate, this one resembled a lion.

"Please, Scarvros would explain it better, he was sent by the family from our home world Trion." Circe gestured to Scarvros who bowed to her, and then he turned to face Rowan.

He cleared his throat, "I am Scarvros, Chief Administrative Officer of the Tenth Legion for the Boreas Family. The Ancestor Boreas is aware of the calamity from the stars that had fallen on Boreas, and has therefore made a wide call for heroes far and near to aid us in this disaster. These are trying times, and more than ever we need heroes."

"To ensure the heroes are properly compensated for the risk they are willing to take for our sake and the safety of the world, we have created a list from which every resource that is under the purview of our innumerable Trading Houses across the entire empire is up for exchange."

Scarvros paused for effect, clearly this must be significant news as he expected Rowan to be impressed, Rowan took a cookie.

He sighed and continued, "The Ancestor Boreas does not just want the calamity to be managed, he requires them to be eradicated! There is a copy of the exchange list in your quarters and I promise you, the rewards are substantial, with many exotic resources that are impossible to be found in any other places but our trading houses."

Scarvros, picked up a slate by the side that gave out a blue glow, many names were recorded on it, "Plus as further incentives, the Ancestor has brought out three great prizes to be awarded to the three most powerful contributors to the eradication of the calamity. You should be pleased to know that your name is in the top twenty."

Scarvros said all these in a single breath, and Rowan did not take much time to consider his proposition. He had guessed that the Boreas family would mount a counter-attack on the beasts ravaging the planet, although he had always thought it would be after they had gathered all their workers planet wide and secured them in the underground cities before any attack might commence.

A Great Storm was coming, and from the books he had read, they were usually a wild affair, so the people called to exterminate the beasts would be facing attacks on two fronts, but this was not his concern. _{fɾeewebnoveℓ.co๓}

Instead, Rowan was feeling a slight bit of annoyance, he had already allocated every beast on this planet as his prey, and to find out that he would have to share them, and that there were nineteen other people above him that had killed more beast were annoying. He shook away this childish thought as he focused on Scarvros.

Scavros turned the slate around, so Rowan could easily peruse the contents, it was a list of names and a series of numbers beside them, he swiped left to show Rowan the exchange panel and swiped back to the screen of names.

Rowan collected the slate from his hands, and viewing the names, he frowned, "I would like to ask, how are the lists being tabulated. I mean, how do you know the amounts of beasts that are slaughtered by each person and assign the right number to their undertakings?"

"Are you not aware of the Nemesis Plate and of its functions?" Scarvros asked in surprise.

Circe replied in place of Rowan, "Scarvros because of certain circumstances, he is not aware of certain facts about the world around us."

"Oh, you would have me believing he is Erohim, if such coincidences keep happening." Scarvros laughed.
