Rebecca and Vanessa exchanged knowing glances as they understood Terry's perspective. While their guilds had a more altruistic approach, they also realized the practicality of Terry's thinking. They knew that they couldn't help the entire world for free, and their resources were limited. By considering payment as a priority, Terry was likely thinking about the long-term sustainability of his guild and its ability to help others effectively.
They recognized that as the guild's reputation and strength grew, more and more people would seek their assistance in times of crisis. However, Terry wouldn't be able to aid everyone equally, and prioritizing those who could offer compensation would ensure that the guild had the necessary resources to continue its mission.
