"The matter is done. Please convey my regards to His Majesty King Toma."
The royal envoy formally thanked him, then smoothly and discreetly slipped a continent-wide universal bank card into the man's hand.
"A small token of appreciation. I hope you won't find it lacking."
The assistant quietly fed a trace of magic power into it and instantly learned the exact amount stored inside.
At once, a warm smile spread across his face as well.
"Not at all, not at all. Co to think of it, my great-grandmother was from Fiore, so this can count as making a little contribution to my motherland."
Even with all the envoy's professional training, he nearly failed to keep his expression steady.
He hurriedly exchanged another couple of polite phrases, then quickly excused himself and left.
The assistant did not feel embarrassed in the slightest. He even warmly escorted him out.
Once the man was gone, he carefully looked around to make sure no one was nearby. Only then did he take out the bank card and flick it lightly with a finger.

"Mmm~ delightful~"
That crisp tallic sound sent a wave of pleasure through him from the inside out.
Compared to a fool like Crawford, who did nothing but draw grand promises, make stupid mistakes, and drag others down with him, working with people from the major powers was infinitely more satisfying.
Councillor? Bah. How much can a councillor really skim?
With so many eyes watching, they earn less money than I do in one smooth transaction!!
Thinking that, he tucked the bank card away again and humd a little tune as he headed off to contact his reporter friends.
Once you took the money, you had to get the job done. Reputation in this line of work mattered.
And besides, explosive news like this, the famous young powerhouse, the God of Destruction Kabe, about to beco one of the Ten Wizard Saints, would absolutely sell for a very fine price among his journalist friends.
One matter, satisfying all three sides, while letting him earn money from both ends.
A genius. Truly.
