While Lars left Lykos as soon as he could, Maxim didn't even have to fly two hundred meters, when he saw Daimon and the others happily chatting with each other.
While he was quite upset since he was forced to hand over ten times the quantity of stalactite milk, he originally intended, it was true that he didn't take Daimon's words seriously.
In comparison Lydia took the risk and ended up being the winner, even if Maxim wanted to only throw the pay and leave, he couldn't, first because he had to sign a contract and second because there were four Half Emperors present right now.
"Ahem, Licht young master, I'm here to pay for the spots at the first year's exploration team", said Maxim as he took out two metal cases containing the ten pieces of the Thunder Nimbus Vine and ten bottles of stalactite milk.
Daimon accepted the cases and only after inspecting the contents, he casually handed Maxim a soul contract which Erin prepared beforehand.
