Over a month ago, Gel had already started to invest energy, finances, and connections to find a suitable Extraordinary Trait for Aiven when cooperating with him in training.
If he only wanted to settle, neither Demonized Creatures nor wild animals were hard to find, but finding high-quality Demonized Materials that align with oneself is a challenging task that consumes both financial resources and luck.
The Demonized Heart of the Blue Flag Demon Shark is already a top-grade among the agility-type Extraordinary Traits, and Gel acquired it at great personal cost and with a premium.
According to Aiven's initial strategy of slowly exchanging military merits, even if he could obtain similar materials, they would only be of common quality, never of such high standards.
No wonder even well-informed folks in the Navy couldn't help but feel envious, taking the risk of offending Gel, a former Level 3 Battleship Captain and Navy Captain, to intercept the materials.
