Chapter 100: Boys night out
After that first dungeon, we had been set as a team to raid several more dungeons together.
Over the next two weeks, it was just going into the dungeon and resting in between dungeon dives.
Though it was tiring, there was no doubt that this business was very lucrative.
Especially since the monsters that we took down were all the strongest monsters.
These monsters were all bosses and area bosses of the dungeons that they lived in, so the loot that they dropped was naturally very powerful.
It really was satisfying seeing my bank account fill up like this.
But seeing it fill up like this really made me aware of another benefit of being in a large guild like this.
It was very simple, it was the logistics network of the guild.
If one was a solo Awakener, it was sometimes hard to find buyers for the loot that they got from the dungeons.
They wouldn't have a guild that had connections to sell these items for them.
Solo Awakeners could hold onto the loot that they got from the dungeon for a long time since it would take a very long time for them to sell it.
Simply because they didn't have the same negotiation power as large guilds.
Large guilds could use their pressure to force buyers to offer proper prices, but solo Awakeners didn't have this same pressure. So when solo Awakeners tried to sell, it would be hard for them since they would often get ripped off.
It was only through trial and error that they would be able to find a buyer in the end.
Or sometimes it was just luck.
It was better to be a part of a large guild so one wouldn't need to worry about that.
At the end of these two weeks, it was my final dungeon raid with this team.
It wasn't that we were breaking up, but rather because I had something else to take care of over the next period of time that I would be stepping down.
They would be heading off to different teams to fill in during the time that I was gone, so we would all be splitting up for a bit.
Though going to different teams was definitely a good thing since they would be able to learn how to work with others. Once they came back from that, they would be able to work much better together with their new styles.
But before breaking up, we naturally had to have a party to celebrate.
That was why after the last dungeon raid, all of us and our handlers went to a bar and grill to celebrate.
Of course, there were two that didn't join us.
Hayato and Claire's handlers went back to the guild to take care of the matter of reporting. Though by the looks on their faces, it didn't seem like they wanted to come in the first place, so we didn't force them.
Once we arrived at the bar, it didn't take long before the party was in full swing.
As people who lived dangerous lives, we naturally knew how to cut loose and have fun when we could.
The table that we were at was covered in many different dishes and all kinds of drinks, though there were also non-alcoholic drinks here for the minors.
The four of them were all minors, so we wouldn't let them drink.
However, for me and the handlers, we cut loose and had our fun since we were all above the legal drinking age.
The kids could only look on with envy since they wanted to see what alcohol tastes like, but they didn't keep sulking for long as the dishes came in.
This place was a top class Japanese restaurant, so the dishes were all very delicious.
There was even a fight that happened between Hayato and Blaze over some of the Karaage, but of course it was all good natured fighting.
During this time, I received a text from someone.
I moved to the side and opened my phone to see who it was from.
When I saw this text, I couldn't help narrowing my eyes, but then I released that expression and returned to the party.
The party kept going for a while, but all good things had to come to an end eventually and we started to disperse.
But before we did…I called Blaze, Hayato, Su Chen, and the other male handler over to have a private talk.
Once we were together, I said, "How about we continue this with a boys night out?"
The four of them were surprised to hear this at first, but then they revealed excited looks.
To my surprise, Su Chen was the most excited about this.
In training, Su Chen was a demon instructor…but it seemed that outside of training, he was quite the fun person to be with.
Since they all agreed, the only obstacle left was…to tell the girls.
Claire and Qin Yue Ru had been watching us gathered like this with narrowed eyes filled with judgement.
When I came over, they glared at me which made it harder for me to say what I wanted to say…but I still said it in the end, "We're going out for a boys night out, so you guys shouldn't wait for us. We'll be heading to another place now."
As soon as my voice fell, I could feel the judgement that was coming from their gaze.
Qin Yue Ru turned to look at Blaze while Claire kept looking at me and said, "Where are you going?"
I couldn't help looking away when I felt this gaze on me before saying, "Just to another bar for some fun…"
As my voice trailed off, I could feel the judgement that was coming from that glare.
In the end, Claire took Qin Yue Ru's arm and said, "Then we'll just have our own girl's night." She turned to Qin Yue Ru's handler who was also a woman and asked, "Are you coming with us?"
The handler looked at us with the same glare of judgement before giving a nod.
With that, the three of them left in a cab.
All of us couldn't help letting out a sigh of relief seeing them go, but when we looked at each other, we could see the excitement in each other's eyes.
With that, we took a cab to our destination.
As for that destination, it was naturally Sasha's club.
