It should be because there were Samuel and Peter in this crack at this time.
It was not easy for the higher ups to give order to these people who returned from that world. After all, finding these people in the first place would be difficult. If they were like her and didn't showcase their ability, it was basically impossible for others to find them.
Unless they made a blunder.
Thinking about her own blunder, Riya blushed slightly.
Well, it was a bit embarrassing when she thought back about it.
Riya shook her head and felt that if Samuel and Peter were to make a move, they would definitely demand compensation or negotiate with the higher ups. Because even if they were stronger, they have no obligation to help everyone.
She walked to Ruby and planned to talk with the other party.
After all, Riya knew that Ruby wanted to tag along.
…
On the other side, Samuel and Peter had a dark face.
"I don't want to do this either, but the higher ups requested for us to go deeper to investigate the crack," the leader said helplessly. As a soldier, he was taught to obey order and the leader felt really unwilling this time.
Because he knew how dangerous these magic beasts were.
If they were powerful enough to deal with these magic beasts on their own, then the leader would be more at ease. But most of them were only rank 1 magic warrior and their main weapon was still their gun.
It was fine to deal with rank 1 or lower magic beasts.
But rank 2 magic beasts were a bit hard because they had to specifically target the weakness.
Rank 3?
Guns were not effective.
"I'm not a soldier and I have no obligation to listen to your order," Samuel said calmly. "I agree to help the researcher to enter and will protect them only around the entrance of the crack. If you want to go deeper, you can go on your own. Mind you, there might be rank 3 or even higher magic beasts down there."
He himself hadn't explored the crack all the way down because it was really dangerous. Even though he had finally reached rank 5, but it was still far away from the final rank and Samuel knew very well that the improvement in the future would be even more difficult.
Because he had no means to upgrade fast like he did in his previous life.
Moreover, the amount of resources one needed to reach rank 7 was very massive. The leap from rank 6 to rank 7 was so big that many people might have to work for decades just to have enough resources.
In that world, he was lucky because he was from a prominent family.
All he needed to do was to contribute to the family for a year or so before he could get the necessary resources.
Otherwise, Samuel would never have the experience what it feel to reach rank 7.
