“Wasn’t the silver milk powder supposed to be our investment that takes care of the organization’s financial needs?” a demigod asked Luna. 

“Yes, but this is supposed to be faster,” Luna defended. 

“Luna, before you argue any further, let me make it clear, I don’t think the organization can afford to invest in another project. Honestly, I was hoping to pull the funding from your R&D department and use it to sustain the organization till we get the silver milk powder out in the black market,” the demigod who spoke about finances earlier shot down Luna’s investment idea without hearing it and finally managed to convey to Luna that they will be defunding R&D department for the movement. 

“Okay, since you are fighting so strongly with me on this, I will have you guys know that I have already used all the money the R&D department had to invest in it,” Luna suddenly dropped a bombshell in the meeting. 

“What? You’re crazy!” 

“How could you?” 

“On whose authority?” 

“I have had it with her.” 

“I can’t believe you did that.”

All the demigods seated around the oval table suddenly erupted upon hearing that Luna used all the money her department had on one of her investment plans. Even Henricks and Baylor looked at Luna pensively. 

However, Luna did not seem to care about the uproar. Instead, she said, “Now that you know, the sooner you stop fighting me on this and get on board the better.” 

“I am sorry, Henricks it seems I have failed you,” the demigod in charge of the finances apologized to Hendricks believing that if he had dared to pull the funding of the R&D department earlier it would not have come to this. 

“Damn it, Luna!” it was rare for Hendricks to raise his voice in a meeting but today he not only raised his voice but cussed. 

Seeing the demigod in charge of the finances of freedom fighters apologize, Henricks immediately knew that things had gone beyond desperate. He then turned to look at him and enquired, ” Tell me the truth, what are our damages? How long can we sustain?” 

“Considering that Luna has not lost all our money on her investment idea of hers, we have about a week or so before we will have to pause the silver milk powder project or consider selling silver milk from the silver beach gate dungeon in the black market instead of the finished product silver milk powder,” the demigod explained that their situation was so dire that they might have to resort to selling raw silver milk ingredients directly in the black market which was not as profitable as selling the finished product, silver milk powder.

“…” The atmosphere in the hall suddenly turned grave realizing how dire the organization’s finances were. Then all six of the demigods simultaneously looked at the culprit who pushed the already desperate situation off the cliff, Luna. 

Being stared at by six demigods did not faze Luna, rather she confidently said, “Now that I have your attention, let me make a few things clear.

First, R&D department funds are not our money but my department’s money. So it doesn’t concern you guys how I see fit to spend it. 

ραndαsΝοvεl ƈοm Secondly, I did not lose money on my investment but already grew my investment by three times.” 

Everyone did not agree with Luna on her first point but nobody called her out on that when they heard her say that she grew her initial investment by three times so fast. Now, they knew for sure that Luna had lost all their money in some kind of scheme. 

Noticing the stares of the demigods on her turn deadpan instead of one that of admiration and praise, Luna commented, “Well, this is not the reaction I expected. Say something or are you guys too shocked to say something?” 

“Yes, we are shocked by your stupidity. Tell us the name of the scheme on which you waste all our money,” demigod Baylor enquired Luna wondering if there was still time for him to savage the loss. He planned to visit the scammers and demand a refund. 

“I said it is not a scheme trust me, I did grow my initial investment by three times,” Luna defended her investment and stressed that she did not lose the money but grew it by three times. 

“Sure, so can you give us our money back? You know we need it,” Baylor asked Luna to return the initial investment to them since it would not be difficult for her to do so if she did grow it by three times.

“About that I can’t. Not that I can’t give you the money but I don’t want to because I believe my investment will continue to grow—” Hearing Luna’s words, Baylor and the other demigods felt like she was coming up with excuses to avoid giving them the money as there weren’t any and felt that if Luna had yet to fully lose their money then they should pull the money out of what every scheme she invested in. So the demigod in charge of finance immediately interrupted Luna and said, “Luna they are just baiting you to invest more money, before they realize you do not have more money I am begging you to pull your money out of whatever cockamamie scheme you have invested in.”

“How many times do I have to yell at you guys before you get it through your thick heads that I did not invest in a scheme and my investment idea is a legit investing opportunity? Stop interrupting me and hear me out till the end. Then we can debate if I had wasted my department’s money on a scheme or not,” Luna yelled, asking the demigods to keep an open mind and listen to her investment idea before labeling it a scheme of some kind. 

“Okay, what is this investment idea of yours?” Henrick decided to give Luna a chance to explain and redeem herself.
