Foster Michael replied, "Everyone has to surrender a portion of their gains - that's the rule, and Elder Brother Nolan can't make an exception for you. However, he doesn't want you to feel at a loss during your first time working with the team, so this is his personal compensation for you."
Owen Bertram had picked many high-grade spiritual medicines, so the confiscated part was worth more. Nolan Gordon was probably worried that he might be dissatisfied, so he privately compensated him with the treasure material.
Owen Bertram pushed it back without opening it: "Elder Brother Nolan has underestimated me."
Foster Michael was taken aback, then took it back with some shame, "Good brother, I knew I didn't make a mistake in judging you."
After leaving Owen's side, Foster went straight to Nolan Gordon's tent. Owen silently opened his ears - below the camp, the Poison Shadow Oak quietly unfolded its body, putting the whole camp within Owen's control.
