Don't be fooled by Hong Chenle and Abraham's sweet talk about "mercenary brothers" and their warm welcomes.
They're just under a lot of pressure from the wolves' attack and don't want any more trouble, so they use generous gifts to temporarily appease the mercenaries.
Once they really deal with the wolves and regain their strength, whether they'll show a different face is hard to say.
After all, fringe groups and mercenaries have never been aligned, so why share a cake they could have all to themselves?
But even if they can see through it, it seems like the mercenaries don't have a better choice.
The other side gave real gold and silver, not to mention.
Truly getting involved and causing trouble, angering Crow's Nest and Ashen Gang, would be a lose-lose situation with no benefits.
After all, no matter how you slice it, Crow's Nest and Ashen Gang are old organizations with consistent styles and predictable actions.
