He met with Aella and Aelka in their new building near the mercenary guild to transfer the credits. The sister and brother would be in charge of The Reds during his absence. They were shocked to receive more than two hundred million credits from Tang Shaoyang.

”That will be our capital and donʼt be afraid to spend it for the team. I will leave my team in your care, Aella. If you are doing good, then you donʼt need to worry about our promise.”

Aelka was flabbergasted by the numbers, but Aella recovered faster, ”I have something to discuss before you leave, Captain! I know you told me that I can make the final decision for almost everything, but I need your approval for this one.”

Aella brought Tang Shaoyang to another room and told him to wait there. Not long after, she returned with seven people, and he was familiar with one of them. The former Chevalier Guild Master, Justen, and his six trusted friends.

”They want to join The Reds, but you know… Their reputation is bad… I am afraid accepting them would harm our teamʼs name. So I need your opinion…” Aella was kinda nervous because she was talking about a God Rank.

”Whatʼs your thoughts on this?” Tang Shaoyang asked back.

Despite her nervousness, she answered in front of the seven God Ranks, ”I think we should accept them. They might have one taint in their reputation, but I have heard a lot of good things about them. Their positive value offset their bad reputation, and with them joining us, I believe there would be a lot of mercenaries willing to join our teams.”

”Then letʼs do it. You just need to inform me if they do some shady things, and I will take care of it,” Tang Shaoyang then turned toward the seven God Ranks, ”As you heard it. I will accept you into my team, and she will represent me when I am not here. Her decision is my decision, her order is my order.”

”Thank you for accepting us despite our reputation. We will do our best and make The Reds the best mercenary organization in the Eptas Monarchy!”

Aella was relieved that Tang Shaoyang was not the same as those nobles she knew and was quite open-minded to accept the mercenaries with a traitor label. She believed in them and what happened before was just a lapse of judgment in the moment of greed. The moment they saved Grand General Senton and Marko, she believed Justen was a good person.
