Incompatible Interspecies Wives

Chapter 8: Childish Thinking (3)

As time passed, Adam Hyung and I held high positions in the mercenary group.

No one could oppose our promotion.

We had made a lot of contributions to support this mercenary group.

As our position rose, we also moved away from the front lines of danger.

We were making good money as well.

It was to the point where I thought maybe it would be comfortable to live like this.

We also got to attend the officers' meeting.

To be honest, it was more like a gathering because alcohol, food, and women were always together.

In fact, it could be called an entertainment party in reality.

"Berg! Adam! You've come. Have a seat."

The Lizardman 'Malak', who was the leader, welcomed us to the meeting with women on his both sides.

Other officers from various races had already taken their seats.

Greasy, sizzling meat, various side dishes, and expensive liquor were waiting for us.

Malak pretended to welcome us, but there was always a sense of caution in his eyes toward us.

Of course, we were highly valued for the support of the members, as we were able to secure this position with our skills.

As the leader, he might have felt threatened.

In addition to that, Hyung and I were closely tied together as we both were from the same human race, so it might have seemed like a faction.

Hyung and I took our seats.

"Oh my...I should play with this person. He's handsome..."

Then, naturally, a dark elf woman sat down next to me.

I stopped her from trying to cross our arms together.

"Don't touch me."

At that, Adam Hyung almost spat out the alcohol he was drinking while looking at her.

I didn't pay attention to the laughing Hyung or the startled Dark Elf woman.

All I could see was just free drinks in front of me.

The meeting proceeded well on its own.

I always attended the meetings just to drink.

Not many people talked to me. Because I never showed any particular reaction.

As I stayed like that, gossip and cursing dominated the space through laughter.

I didn't share laughter with them.

I drank alcohol while filling my stomach with meat.

Then, the leader Malak pointed to Adam Hyung and opened his mouth.

"Adam. By the way, there was a conflict with the vice-captain in the previous battle."

Hyung was flirting with the woman sitting next to him, and he shrugged at Malak's words.

"A conflict? It was just a slight deviation from the plan."

"But the vice-captain said something else."

"What did the vice-captain say?"

"He said you didn't follow orders."

With Malak's cold tone, the atmosphere of the meeting quickly turned cold.
