“The pelt of the violent brown bear, four hundred taels; the tusks of the wild boar, six hundred taels; the tail feathers of the phoenix-tailed eagle, six hundred taels! Some other items, four hundred taels! Altogether, two thousand taels of silver!” Manager Carter saw Eric Bennett take out a scattered pile of things, quickly sorted them, and then announced the price.

“Alright!” Upon hearing Manager Carter’s words, Eric Bennett nodded in agreement.

When he returned, he had already estimated the value of these items, and it was pretty much as expected. Besides, Eric Bennett had been in this line of work for many years and was very familiar with the prices.

As for the blood and flesh of the blue-eyed wolf, Eric Bennett had no intention of selling it. As a master of traditional Chinese medicine, he had studied the human body the most. He had a feeling that combining body refinement with martial cultivation could unleash even greater power. Ever since he killed the blue-eyed wolf using both methods, this feeling had only grown stronger.

Moreover, the blood and flesh of fierce beasts contained abundant vitality and spiritual energy. Even ordinary people would greatly benefit from eating it. How could Eric Bennett bear to sell such things? Money was important to him, but his family was even more important. In fact, nothing in this world was more important than his family. Besides, even if he sold things for money, it was all for his family.

Although he had transmigrated here, he had fully merged with the emotions of the previous Eric Bennett. His feelings for his family were almost identical to those of the former Eric Bennett.

“Heh, Little Bennett, you’ve had quite a harvest!” Noticing that Eric Bennett’s remaining bundle was still bulging, Manager Carter chuckled and said.

“Yeah, I got lucky this time and ran into a young master from a big family on a trial…”

Hearing this, Manager Carter nodded. Indeed, while these things from Eric Bennett were valuable, to those young masters from noble families, they were just trash. There was no way they would bother carrying such junk back for a bit of money.

“What strong vitality—body refinement level six, about to break through to level seven?” After Eric Bennett left with the money, Manager Carter lay back down on his lounge chair, a trace of doubt appearing on his face as he muttered to himself.

If Eric Bennett had heard this, he would have been shocked. The level of body refinement was the hardest to discern, since it only trained the body. Only when one had just broken through, when the vitality was surging, could a hint be detected.

“Mother, Little Brian!” After returning home, Eric Bennett saw his mother sitting in the courtyard doing laundry, while his younger brother Brian Bennett was practicing boxing in the yard.

“Little Eric, you’re back. Why did you go out again? It’s all my fault as your mother—I’m not capable enough, and I still have to let you risk your life!” Seeing Eric Bennett, Grace Turner put down what she was holding and hurried over to him, looking him up and down. Seeing that he was unharmed, tears instantly welled up in her eyes.

The fact that Eric Bennett was a member of the Flying Tiger Squad was known to the family. After all, it was impossible to hide it from them for four years.

Every time Grace Turner saw her eldest son go out risking his life, her heart felt like it was being cut by a knife, but there was nothing she could do. She had tried to persuade him, but her eldest son wouldn’t listen.

“Brother, I’ll soon succeed in condensing qi. Once I do, you won’t have to risk your life anymore. I’ll support you and mother!” Hearing their mother’s words, Brian Bennett also came over, looking at Eric Bennett with a solemn expression.

“Alright, I’ll be waiting! Mother, Little Brian, come inside—I have something to show you!” Seeing the determination on Brian Bennett’s youthful face, Eric Bennett nodded to himself and called them into the house.

“Little Eric, is something the matter?” Once inside, Grace Turner looked at her son and asked, while Brian Bennett also looked on curiously.

“Mother, this is the paw of a violent brown bear. I’ll stew it later to nourish you and my brother!” Eric Bennett didn’t answer directly, but instead took out the bear paw from his bundle and handed it to his mother. These things weren’t worth much if sold, so Eric Bennett kept them for his family.

“Ah!!” Grace Turner hadn’t expected her son to bring back something so precious. Bear paw was not only delicious, but also a rare tonic!

But then she remembered that all these things were obtained at the risk of her son’s life, and her initial excitement turned heavy.

“Little Eric, don’t go out anymore, alright? I’ll just take on more work for other families, and that’ll be enough for us to eat!”

“Alright, mother, don’t worry! I won’t be going out for a while. I want to watch Little Brian break through to the quasi-martial artist level!”

“Good, good! It’s all my fault for being useless and making you both suffer!”

Hearing Eric Bennett’s words, Grace Turner couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief. As long as her son didn’t have to risk his life anymore, she would be happy no matter how hard things got.

“It’s me who hasn’t taken good care of you, mother. But from now on, you don’t have to get up early and work for others anymore. Here are fifteen hundred taels of silver I earned in the past two days. Spend it carefully—it’ll last our family for years!” Hearing Grace Turner’s words, Eric Bennett took out fifteen hundred taels in silver notes and handed them to his mother.

“Ah! How could there be so much?”

“Brother, did you take on a dangerous mission?”

Seeing the silver notes in Eric Bennett’s hand, both Grace Turner and Brian Bennett were shocked. In the past four years, Eric Bennett had never earned so much, and now he had made this much in just two or three days. If it wasn’t a super dangerous mission, how could it be possible?

“It wasn’t dangerous. I just went out once with a trial team.”

“Whew!”
