Bervis glanced over and saw that people had also arrived from Red Peach City.

Leading the group was Davin, the vice-captain of the Crimson Adventurers, known as the Thunder Swordsman.

Given Bervis's limited perspective, he wouldn't care about ordinary Star Rank. However, Davin possesses exceptional talent and has the support of the Mandala family, making his future advancement to Moon Rank a certainty.

In addition, since Davin's sister is his sister's "best friend," Bervis can be considered to know Davin.

Their eyes met, and Daven placed his right fist on his chest, near his heart, performing a common greeting among adventurers.

Bervis nodded slightly.

Looking at the Red Peach City contingent, a thought struck him: Has the Bloody Baron not come...?

It seems the rumors are true; Lia is indeed having a serious falling out with her family. Bovis had investigated the Snow Goose Adventurer Group and knew some previously unknown details.

For example, Leah and the Bloody Baron Augut are not related by blood.

Auguto devoted all his energy to his biological son, Darwin, and left Leah to her own devices.

"Look, disgusting, hahaha!"

Roger, standing in front of him, suddenly pointed to the VIP seats opposite and grinned.

Bervis looked closely and smiled: "Father is right. Our family of pure adventurers has the utmost contempt for those pure nobles."

On one side are the newly rich who have risen through the ranks by risking their lives and using their abilities to climb the ladder.

On the other hand, there were nobles who relied on the blessings of their ancestors to control large amounts of gold coins and enjoy the fruits of others' labor.

Both sides despise each other.

Opposite Bovis and his group, on an elegant little black coffee table, were pastries from Miss Mary's Handmade Workshop, the most famous pastry shop in White Dove City.

Chocolate mousse cake, colorful macarons, animal-shaped cookies...

It is paired with a premium black tea, which is a hundred times more valuable than gold and comes from the 15th floor.

To avoid being looked down upon by the nobles, White Dove City brought out its best offerings.

Several noble ladies huddled together chatting, occasionally nibbling on the pastries on the table. Their indifferent expressions made it clear that these delicacies, rarely seen by ordinary adventurers, were nothing special to them.

"Aren't you going to start? I'm so bored."

"I feel like there are a lot of handsome guys among the contestants."

"Let's hire the good ones as bodyguards? I think that Abner is alright, he has such long legs."

The three young ladies, led by Millis, chatted and laughed.

President Vilen sat to one side, his face flushed with anger.

Abner is one of the best adventurers in White Dove City. You can't just hire him whenever you want! Judging from those young ladies' tone, he's not hired for fighting; they're going to dress him in a tuxedo, put a collar on him, put him on a leash, and introduce him to their friends...

In short, it treats adventurers as playthings!

But considering that the fathers of these people were all wealthy merchants with viscount titles, Viren suppressed his anger and put on a forced smile.

He handed the documents in his hand to the middle-aged man next to him, who was dressed in a suit and had slicked-back blond hair.

"Viscount Miven, this is the list of outstanding adventurers in our White Dove City."

The Ice Flower Adventure Team, led by Captain Isa, comes from a family of knights and is of impeccable character. She leads the team steadily and surely, breaking through to the 16th floor.

Leah's signature skill, "Flame Burst," allows her to unleash two ultimate attacks in quick succession, demonstrating immense potential.

Linda possesses exceptionally high recovery and shield abilities, and is skilled in strategizing against the World Tree; she has the potential to become a rising star.

"Abner, the strongest adventurer in our White Dove City, has been featured in the Adventurers' Weekly."

Viren smiled proudly and straightened his back as he mentioned these people's names.

"Um."

Viscount Miven gave a casual reply and placed the carefully compiled documents from Viren on the table.

"Viscount, you've already seen the information?" Viren's expression was not good.

"No need to look, I only believe my own eyes."

Viscount Miven crossed his legs as a waiter lit a large Southeast Asian cigar and handed it to him. He took a deep drag and exhaled a dark blue smoke.

The viscount glanced down at the sapphire watch on his wrist, seemingly confirming today's itinerary, and said calmly, "President Velen, I understand that the adventurers you mentioned are all geniuses, the cream of the crop, but... I've seen plenty of geniuses."

Some of them had defeated behemoths, and others had vanquished dragons.

But you might accidentally step on a rock in the World Tree, and underneath that rock lurks a deadly snake... and just like that, you die a ridiculous and inexplicable death.

I don't believe in geniuses; I only believe what I see.

Miwen glanced at Viren: "Also, I heard from my daughter that she met that Linda at the trading company. Milis kindly invited him to tour the city together, so why did he refuse? He even seemed to have said some vulgar things to my daughter."

Hearing this, Milis, standing nearby, raised her eyebrows and said angrily, "That Linda is even more barbaric than an orc. He said I was blocking his way and wanted to kill me. What kind of person is he? Someone like that is an outstanding adventurer? People from small places just have no manners."

The two best friends nodded in unison, their eyes revealing their disgust.

Viren's expression changed: "Viscount Miven, you may not know this, but during that time Linda's team members were captured by cultists, and he was extremely anxious, which is why..."

“I know he’s in a hurry, but it’s precisely at times like this that we can show respect to the nobility.”

Miven shook his head and said:

"If he were a good adventurer, he should have granted Millis's request first, and then explained the reason for the difficulty."

With my daughter's upbringing, she will definitely forgive him and let him leave.

But what he did was try to kill my daughter?
