Leah was stunned by Kaphni's bold move.

What are you doing in someone else's house?!

That's so indecent, vulgar, and obscene!

Leah felt a pang of jealousy and nausea, wanting to vomit up the strawberry cake she had just eaten.

Unable to contain her anger, she slammed her hand on the table and shouted, "Linda, are you crazy? Tell her to get out of here!"

Linda was also a little surprised, not expecting Kaphni to hug her arm.

But he didn't refuse, calmly saying, "It's quite normal for friends to do this."

friend?

normal...?

Lia's expression was extremely unpleasant.

Normal friends wouldn't hug or cuddle, would they?

Only those filthy girls in taverns who will do that for a few coins would.

He met the young lady less than two days ago and brought her back to the Snow Goose Adventure Team.

Are they going to make all sorts of shameless noises upstairs?

They completely disregarded her as the team leader!

Leah's face was ashen. She pointed straight out the door and said coldly, "You've all left the team, what are you doing here? You're not welcome here. Get out."

Actually, Lia wanted to ask Linda what she was doing there, and why she brought a big bear girl with her when she returned to the team.

But as soon as he opened his mouth, it became an order to leave.

She didn't feel much regret.

If Linda can't even withstand this kind of blow, she can't be the healer of the Snow Goose Adventure Team.

“I feel bad about not being welcome, but I won’t leave until things are done.” Linda’s tone was slow, but her attitude was very firm.

"Besides, part of this villa should belong to me. I don't need to ask your permission to go back to my own place."

Leah was speechless, feeling increasingly agitated.

She stamped her foot and said, "Then what business do you have here? Hurry up!"

It's time to bring up the topic of returning to the team.

Why isn't Ai Ke here at a time like this?

Leah's mind was in a mess, and she didn't know how to deal with it.

Although she had a slight thought about bringing Linda back, it was only because she valued Linda's cooking skills, not because the team couldn't do without him. But Linda's current attitude—arrogant and unwilling to admit her mistakes—was something she, as the team leader, couldn't tolerate allowing such a team member to come and go as he pleased.

"Apologize to me properly first!"

"I'm annoyed," Leah said.

Apologize?

Why should I apologize?

Linda was puzzled.

He explained helplessly to the girl, "Lia, you've misunderstood."

"I came back just to pick up some things."

"And this document, could you please sign it? It shouldn't take long."

Linda took out her discharge certificate from her pocket and handed it to Leah along with the quill pen she had prepared.

"What file?"

Leah instinctively reached out and took it.

She glanced at Linda before looking down at the so-called 'document'.

The air in the living room seemed to freeze for a few seconds.

Leah's eyes widened little by little, and her breathing became increasingly rapid.

Finally, there was a click.

Her fingers, gripping too tightly, tore through the fragile paper, creating a hole in it.

Leah initially thought the document was Linda's letter of apology.

Upon closer inspection, the title read: "Certificate of Withdrawal from the Team" in four large black characters on white paper!

This was not the 'answer' she wanted to hear at all!

Lia's chest heaved violently as her fighting spirit surged within her, and her fiery red hair shone with a bright crimson light.

Seeing Linda's unwavering demeanor, all the blood in his body rushed to his head.

This guy actually dared to mess around with her!

Even with the withdrawal documents in front of her, Lia still believed that Linda would never leave the team. Three years as teammates, and they still hadn't achieved their goal of reaching the summit of the World Tree—a dream they had discussed countless times.

Lia could sense that among the team members, she and Linda were the ones most eager to reach the top. Linxi, Eiko, and Chrona didn't have such a strong desire to climb to the top of the World Tree.

Only she and Linda were true adventurers.

Now that the Snow Goose Adventure Team has passed the ninth level, it has officially become a Rock-level adventure team. In White Dove City, and even in the entire province, apart from the Snow Goose Adventure Team, no other team at the same level would take in an ordinary healer like Linda.

So how could Linda, who aspires to reach the top of the World Tree, possibly quit the team?

Lia took a deep breath, a cold smile appearing on her lips.

You've been reading too many comic books, so you're using this withdrawal from the team to prove you're playing hard to get, huh?

Even if he signs the papers, without officially terminating the contract with the Adventurers' Guild, Zhang Ming's departure from the team is just a piece of paper.

Leah held the quill pen and scribbled her signature on it.

Then, with one hand on her hip and a proud air, she held the discharge certificate between two fingers and handed it to Linda. She was just waiting to see Linda's attempt to steal a chicken backfire, leaving her extremely regretful and annoyed.

Thanks.

However, things didn't go as Leah expected.

Linda nodded slightly, a smile appearing on her face.

"You've matured too. It's good that we each have our own path. As a former team member, I'm very pleased."

Leah scratched her head, looking quite puzzled.

Why praise her for being mature?

Are you trying to disgust her?

Seeing Linda's 'deliberately feigned' and nonchalant smile, Leah couldn't help but feel embarrassed and angry.

What are you talking about?

Leah kicked Linda's shin.

She possessed considerable strength as a swordsman, and the pain caused Linda to frown.

But Linda did not have an attack.

There are still many of his personal belongings in the bedroom on the second floor of the villa.
