Chapter 78

He did not hurry to leave, for the situation was troublesome, and he needed to resolve it properly to avoid any future complications. If Tumi reported him to the Federation, he could potentially be permanently stripped of his right to accept missions. He was not worried about that, however—after all, he had never relied on missions to survive.
