Elrick was momentarily speechless before he burst into a loud peal of laughter. Only about a minute later did he stop and speak in amusement, "Adam, I think you're overlooking something."
"What?" Adam asked suspiciously.
"One of the eight tenets of our organization is Honor Brotherhood," Elrick began. "Our members shared a deep bond of unity and loyalty. It is only natural for us to support our fellow brothers."
He paused for a moment before adding, "And as for me having the authority to choose your rewards, I most certainly do. As a handler for all the Agents, I have sway over which missions to give out as well."
Adam carefully ruminated over the man's words before nodding. "You're right. I apologize for my earlier remark."
"No worries," Elrick said with a carefree attitude. "You're a new member. Gradually, you'll learn what our organization is like."
