God's Eyes

Chapter 944 - Choice of Reward

While their individual goals seemed to be quite similar, the differences between Jason and the Soul Monarch were crystal clear.

The Soul Monarch had no morals, and didn't even hold back from killing innocent people, such as children, the old, and even the disabled.

In fact, the Soul Monarch loved to exploit them as they were the best leverage he could have against the otherwise stronger beings such as the powerhouses in order to attain his goals.

Jason was the complete opposite.

He would never intentionally kill children, the old or disabled people as long as they were innocent.

There was a difference between being doing something purposefully with the intention to hurt others and innocent.

However, once it was necessary and there was no other way, even Jason wouldn't hold back from killing others.

After all, his own life and the lives of the people he held dear were far more important to him than the lives of others!

But this was perfectly normal, in his opinion as every being was innately greedy for survival and prioritized its life and safety over that of the others.

Having discussed a few topics that were important to sort things out before entering the mission hall, they finally reached the large building in which only a few dozen people were walking around.

Their eyes fell on the armed Yinar who was intently reading through the various mission notes put up on the board with a rather grim expression, making Jason smile wryly.

If the rumors were to be true, the situation was truly bothersome, and many Yinar were likely to be inclined to leave their current home and return to their home planets.

However, that was not something Jason should be concerned about right now.

Rather, he approached the young female receptionist, who bowed deeply the moment she spotted him.

"Esteemed Savior, how may I be of any help??"

The way she spoke to Jason made him feel as if she had devoted herself to serve him for the rest of her life.

This was weird, and her overly polite greeting made even Jennifer and Artemis stop bickering with each other as they looked at the young female receptionist, not sure what to think about her.

Yet, Jason was, by far, the most confused.

As such, they kept quiet, looking at exchange odd glances with each other for a moment, before going back to quarreling once again.

"Savior?... That doesn't really suit me… Either way, I came to receive my reward for the reclamation mission, in addition to the additional reward I was promised!"

WIthout hesitation, the woman started to take a look at the extraordinarily important files that had the label [Top Secret] written on them, the moment Jason asked for them.

Her eyes kept darting at him once in a while with a starstruck gaze, finding it hard to believe the fact that Jason, the hero from another race, was standing right in front of her.

Jason noticed this, which caused him to feel like he had become an Idol all of a sudden.

Yet, instead of feeling burdened, he felt that it was always great to have an idol to look up to.

It allowed others to grow much faster as they would attempt to become just as powerful as their idol.

As such, the idolized individual was just a rough indicator of how powerful they had to become.

"By the way, can you tell me what exactly happened with the attack on Imgard?"

The moment Jason asked for the intel about Imgard, the city that the Ancient Elders of the Yinar race had been ordered to destroy, the female receptionist's expression stiffened.

Even the other men and women inside the mission hall froze in their tracks.

This caused an awkward silence to spread through the hall in which one could even hear a pin falling to the ground.

However, this silence caused Jason to be even clearer of the fact that he had to find out the truth of the events revolving around Imgard.

Yet, before the female receptionist was able to find any proper excuses in order to not talk about the incident, a young man walked down the stairs that was located in the far corner of the mission hall.

It led towards the second floor, where only higher authorities and prominent figures were allowed to stay.

As such, Jason's attention was drawn to the said young man, who the female receptionist looked at with a sigh of relief.

'As long as I don't have to expose everything it's fine!!' She could only think before introducing the man.

"Dear Savior, let me introduce you to our young Lord, who is also one of the few survivors of the explosion in Imgard! If its not too much of a hassle please ask him about everything you have in mind.

If my information is not wrong, he has been requested to hand over your rewards too!"

Rushing off after she said this, she pretended to be busy working as she wiped wipe away the sweat from her temples.

'Escaped!'

Meanwhile, Jason turned his entire body towards said young Lord, whose gaze was fixated on him as well.

"Hello, my name is Sacharius. There is no need to be overly formal with me. Rather, I dislike formalities, so I would prefer if we can converse like ordinary people."

Jason just nodded his head before introducing himself and those with him.

"Nice meeting you, I'm Jason, the owl is my soulbond, Artemis, and the woman next to me is called Jennifer!"

After he finished introducing everyone in a rather relaxed manner, Sacharius, who had heard the female receptionist's earlier words didn't beat around the bush as he said.

"I heard what you were talking about before, and I want to be honest with you!

All rumors are true! The three Ancient Ancestors are dead, and so are the majority of the Elite that went with them to destroy the Soul Monarch and the portal of the Kianan race.

If the reports are correct, it should be the same explosion that you guys survived, just that we didn't notice it early enough to prevent the worst from happening.

In fact, I heard that you warned everyone early enough, causing a lack of energy so that the explosion was delayed. Good Job, brat!

I was also informed that I ought to reward you with everything you need. Don't hold back in stating your desires, but please keep in mind that we will have to replenish the resources our newer generations need to be nurtured with at a much faster pace…

We lost too many good men and women, what a shame…"

In the end, it was not only the younger generation that required more resources.

In fact, the same applied for the older generations too.

After all, the Yinar race had to make up for the loss of three pillars on which their race had heavily relied on, followed by dozens of powerhouses.

As such, Jason figured that he shouldn't ask for too much.

He kind of liked the straightforward way of Sacharius, and couldn't help but smile lightly, despite knowing how difficult the situation truly was.

With that in mind, he took out a paper, a feather, and ink as he began to write down everything he required.

This was eyed with slight concern by the young man, who stepped forward to take a look at the list.

He hoped that Jason wouldn't be too selfish, but seeing the items he was writing down, he relaxed visibly.

Turning towards Jennifer, Jason cross-checked with her if he had noted down the correct numbers for weight, number, and purity of the materials she required.

Only Jennifer was able to sense what her requirements for her True Soul awakening were, after all!

After he was done with the list, Jason handed it over to the young man who immediately answered him.

"The list is fine. Thanks for being considerate!"

Jason didn't really think that he was considerate to anyone.

Thus, he could only shrug his shoulders, accepting the compliment without saying anything else about that topic.

At that moment, Jason got an idea, recalling the fact that Solaris' limit would soon be reached.

"Other than the items I listed, is it possible for me to procure special information about Origin flames? Additionally, I'm also interested in knowing more about other unique types of flames, where I can find them, and so on!"

Even if they were bound to be rewarded with everything the two of them required inside the Ninad beast realm, Jason couldn't help but enquire about where he might be able to find unique flames that should help in Solaris' evolution.

Other than that, he was slightly unwilling to leave as he felt the urge to bind a wandering soul to his core.

However, something in the depths of his conscience told him that it was not yet the time to bind a wandering soul.

Jason was not sure what this meant, but he accepted it readily.

Somehow, it felt as if something good would happen, and he just had to figure out what it would be!
