The Spirit Hunter System
That's More Important

"Yes ..at least now I don't have to drive around in a taxi and wait too long to go back and forth."

Adam shook his head. Although he did not get enough money accordingly, he clearly had an abundant harvest. Not from the government or anyone else, but from the things Liez dropped.

"En? Wait ... What'sthis?"

Looking at the other letters in the box, Adam looked puzzled. He read them one by one. There were a total of eight letters in addition to the congratulatory letters from above.

Four of them were letters from Thomas, Andrew, and other parents. The remaining four letters were written by the little ones he saved.

Does this feel like a hero?

Looking at the letter written in almost abstract letters, Adam involuntarily smiled. It is not how neat or beautiful a series of words are. The young man felt such sincere gratitude from the children.

As for the letter from the old man, the most neat and beautiful one was from Anderson. But Adam knew the man wrote it based on formality. The most sincere was not Thomas, but Andrew.

It seemed, compared to Thomas, the cold-looking man was more affectionate towards his daughter.

Because of its secret nature, there should actually be no civilians who originally visited the headquarters. Thomas could actually be considered an exception for being involved in the matter. Once the problem is over, a thank you visit should not even be done.

Yes ... Adam gets a reprimand from the boss so as not to easily bring ordinary citizens to visit the headquarters. Of course, he agreed verbally.

"It looks like it's the best thing" Adam murmured.

After all, after living here every afternoon, Adam must have done a lot of things at the headquarters of the City B branch's Mystery Department. Not only himself, James, Jasmine, Carole, and the others also had their own privacy.

"Is that a gift?"

Hearing the source of the voice, Adam saw Douglas who had just arrived carrying groceries.

"How do you know that?" ask Adam.

"New black paint with a faint blood-red pattern that forms a red owl. Who else if not you, Mr Owl?"

"You don't need to be envious, Mr. Douglas."

"Isn't the total prize nearly 1 million?"

"Spend over 7 million just to be paid back in a car they can't (the officials) use because it's the former property of criminals and a few hundred thousand for it.

Would you be happy, Mr Douglas?"

If it counts with a fetish price of 250,000 alliance dollars. Means 16 attack amulets and 4 fog amulets, 20 talismans .. 5 million alliance dollars. Not to mention some protective talismans and pills that Adam did not count in number.

It really burns money.

It's just that money isn't really that important to true Cultivators because they don't use it too often. So they rarely sold talismans to the outside world. It was also the thing that made various talismans expensive.

After all, the energy attacks contained within talismans were extremely dangerous for normal people. Need a protective talisman to counteract it.

In other words, it was possible that the Cultivators were indeed intentional about spreading some talismans to the outside world. Makes ordinary humans clash with each other and profit from it.

Just thinking about it made Adam feel a headache.

"T-Seven million???" Douglas broke out in cold sweat when he said so. "If you're using personal equipment, wouldn't you be able to apply for compensation to your boss, Mr Owl?"

"Indeed, there is such a deal. But that kind of money ... will they really replace it?"

"..."

Looking at the dazed-looking Douglas, even somewhat pale, Adam pretended to laugh.

"I was just kidding. How could I spend that kind of money."

Each talisman roughly cost around 10,000 alliance dollars. Of course, it is not processed goods. Thirty amulets means 300,000 alliance dollars. Coupled with the nutrition and healing pills, it might total up to 500,000 alliance dollars. It can be considered as not a loss at all.

However, if it is seen from the side of 'traders' as in the beginning. That's indeed detrimental. More precisely, less profitable.

"Dwelling ... You're scaring me, Mr. Owl."

"Sorry." Adam shook his head lightly. "I heard your wife and daughter are moving in? You filed that, right? Has the top party agreed?"

"They don't approve."

Douglas shook his head.

"Why?"

"They said it would interfere with the activities of the Department of Mysteries."

Adam stroked his chin. Thinking of something, he finally continued.

"Not far from the Department of Mysteries there are several two-story old apartment buildings. Perhaps after the Department of Mysteries is completely official and has enough names and powers in government, they will buy and renovate it for the family residence of the members in need."

"Are you also still able to foretell, Mr Owl?"

The figure of James coming out of the house looked surprised.

"What's wrong?" ask Adam.

"There are reports like that from the top. Now the building has been purchased and is being renovated."

"Huh?" Douglas looked dumbfounded.

"Did something like that happen in another city?" ask Adam.

"It looks so ..."

James was a bit doubtful. After all, he himself did not care much for the other side of the city because it was none of his business.

"Then our task will become heavier."

"Why do you think so, Mr Owl?"

"A cow is raised for its meat and milk. A chicken is raised for its meat and eggs. Even a mistress was raised to satisfy a desire.

Then, you said ... The government is just raising us for free?"

"..."

Douglas and James looked at each other. They did not expect that there would be such a reason. What both minds have is gain, but not seeing everything thoroughly.

"Forget it. We only need to do the mission and do not need to think too far about the complicated thinking of the upper party. As long as they don't try to overuse us and throw away when it's not needed'.

We get paid for this job. That's all you need to think about. By the way ... Mr James?"

"What's wrong?" asked James with a dazed expression.

"If it's not wrong, there's a small library and basement in this house, right?"

The James family home is huge. Yes, although old, but still livable and has a lot of empty space.

"Yes. What's wrong?" ask James.

"The 500,000 dollar alliance I got, used to renovate the basement, the library, and a space to serve as an office.

Of course, instead .. I want the little library itself to be my personal space."

"It can be arranged."

James who listened to the amount of money immediately gulped before continuing.

"I understand you need that library for study and medicine and other things because your room is too small and less practical.

I also understand we need an office to take care of everything, because it's kind of funny to use a family room that's supposed to be relaxing to discuss work.

Sure, it is still okay to accept clients in the living room. But instead of renovating a basement that is less useful, are we better not renovating a room to receive guests, Mr Owl?

That much money—"

"I want a basement with very tight security. Maybe now it's not really necessary, but I it's the most important because we're going to create a special archive room there.

In addition to storing very important data about people with unique abilities. We also have to keep dangerous objects, and there are still some other functions."

"That's ..."

Looking at Adam who looked so serious, James looked nervous. In the end, the man nodded.

"I understand, Mr. Owl."

Adam seemed relieved when he heard that. Taking a deep breath, he silently thought.

It is better to take precautions for things that may happen. It's more important than saving a little money.
