When Money Body thought about this great loss to his reserve of lifespan, he groaned inwardly and said to himself, 'To think I will encounter this just before my mission to Oceania. This much loss in my lifespan will make my plan become more difficult to execute.'
He had already tried to save his lifespan by not letting his subordinates join him on the mission. That way, the participants of the mission won't have to rely on the same pool of resources to maintain their lifespan, and they would be able to use the entire savings of the alliance to keep themselves alive.
There is also the fact that he plans to sacrifice his teammates for the mission. So he can't take his subordinates along for the mission. But if he lost half of his savings, it would feel like he had already taken his subordinates to Oceania and lost half of them before the mission.
