"WHAT?"
"...you serious?"
"Do i look like the kidding type boi. Get yer ass outa here. Job done, you be paid for what you put in. Nothing more and nothing less."
Currently the brothers and everyone else are in shock after hearing their job is done and they can go home. They have been searching for the horses for the past half an hour and couldn't find them anywhere deep in the field. Although the field is big, big enough that it would take half a day to circle all around it. You can always see them from a distance and chase them down. The power horses are not known for being shy, they will rush right at you if they see you charging them. So long as the amount charging is not a lot.
But finding out the job is done and they need to leave shocked everyone.
There is only two reason why this can happen.
One the job is canceled because the parties performance is too poor and rejected them all after gathering some proof and applying to the mercenary outpost that's closest to town. the rejection will go to headquarters and then sent back to confirm before successfully canceling the job. This takes usually 4 hours for the whole process to work.
The second is if the job had been completed by some other unforeseen reason. The original party still gets paid but it's largely dependent on how much of a completion the unforeseen event had on them.

Obviously this is the second case, but even if that is so. No one knows how much Sunstrikes they will get and what caused the task to be completed before they can do the job themselves.
"Nonono...what do i do now. Although this is not the worst situation, this is still very bad for me to have an accident now."
"This is not bad, although I am second in command and I will get hit. At least it's much better compared to being in command and having this fiasco happen to me. hehehe..."
While the brothers were having their own crises, their followers and several people who were unfortunately stuck with the ride breathed in relief. No one wants to be here all day and listen to them argue like this.
Especially some proactive ones, when some of them wanted to intervene...they were shot down by both sides quickly. The feeling of being aggrieved to relief is a great feeling to have.
and so...
They went on with their lives.

Back to John's farm
Our trio are at the counter looking at the sunstrikes in front of them in excitement.
The owner of the farm found the horses and heard everything they did and the other party has done by his workers. The workers especially praised her creative use of her 'illusion' spells to make things go so well.
after hearing all about the work done by the water elemental by herself. The owner decided to pay her a little extra.
A full 210 Sunstrikes!
80 of the Sunstrikes came from the original level 30 job.
A bonus of 80 Sunstrikes for handling all the males by herself using some creative methods.
Plus 40 Sunstrikes for the level 25 job of controlling the mares and babies to bring back to the pen and baby raising facility! basically taking two jobs at once!
