The band members trembled in fear under Halus's roar, not daring to lift their heads.
The leader of the Rock Crush, 'Rockbreaker' Rhodes, this towering giant remained relatively calm, and said in a gruff voice:
"Herus, what's the rush? As long as they can't reach the Star Rank, they'll never be able to compete with us."
The Ghosts have fewer Rock-class squads, but their top-tier combat strength includes two Iron-class adventure groups.
“I hope so.” Halus’s face was grim.
...
Knock knock.
"Krona, aren't you coming for breakfast?"
Xueyan's villa.
After knocking on the door for a while without any response, Ai Ke pushed the door open suspiciously.
All I saw was Chrona lying on the bed, holding a sketchbook and crayons, acting furtively, but seemingly in a good mood.
Her pink pigtails swayed back and forth, and her pair of fair little feet moved up and down, like a fish swimming on the bed.
Noticing Eko's arrival, Chrona tensed up and quickly hid the sketchbook under her pillow: "I'm going to eat now!"
"What is that?"
Aiko entered the room and looked at what was under the pillow with great interest.
Could it be a risqué picture book?
Is Chrona this age too?
"No!" Chrona nervously pressed her little hand down on the pillow, her face serious. "This is for Linda. You can only see it after Linda has seen it."
Aiko inwardly scoffed. What good stuff could possibly be? Linda has to see it first. Even the Phoenix Flower team has loli-type members, and they're more obedient than you, legally grown lolis at that. With Linda, you, Chrona, have no chance at all!
If I show it to Linda, she might not even bother to look at it!
Of course, Ai wouldn't say these things aloud. Like a gentle older sister, she smiled and said, "Linda will be very happy when she sees this, right? Good luck, Chrona!"
"Hehe, I love Sister Aiko the most." Krona hugged Aiko and acted coquettishly. At this moment, Aiko took the opportunity to use her magic of light to move the pillow in the air and look at the cover of the picture book.
The large, crooked characters seemed to be the title of a picture book: 'This young lady becomes the strongest adventurer starting from leaving the party.'
Eiko: ?
Could this little guy also be planning to become a traitor?
The happiest person after Linda left the team was Chrona.
They could live a carefree and unrestrained life right there in the villa.
She could read comic books until midnight without anyone scolding her.
"By the way, has Linda's invitation arrived yet?" Krona suddenly raised her head, her face showing some unease, as if she was afraid that Linda would invite other teams but not Xueyan.
"There's no news yet," Ai Ke shook her head.
"Huh? Aren't you going to call us?"
"What are you thinking? Linda isn't a stingy person like Leah."
Ai Ke smiled and said, "Don't worry, it will definitely be delivered before tonight."
"Oh!" Chrona was clearly delighted.
This made Ai Ke secretly wary.
Thankfully, Chrona is still a minor, otherwise she would have had another competitor.
'There are too many slutty, cheap women eyeing Linda. If we don't make a move soon, we might end up eating someone else's wedding candy!'
Ai Ke was so anxious that she developed mouth ulcers.
Her original idea was wonderful: to completely captivate Linda and make her her servant.
From then on, Aiko planned to eat Linda's food, live in Linda's house, spend Linda's gold coins to buy magical equipment, use Linda's OO to satisfy her physiological needs, and make Linda serve her for the rest of her life, so as to take revenge on Linda.
Let Linda know how terrible it is to hurt a young girl's dignity!
but!
The victory celebration banquet held by the Adventurers' Guild last time made Aiko feel a sense of crisis.
First, there's Leah, that little dwarf. She's come to terms with it, no longer seeing Linda as a major threat, and has rejoined the competition. Although Leah's chances of successfully raiding Linda's base are slim, and she's currently at the bottom of the rankings, who knows what might happen in the future!
Also, all the members of the Phoenix Flower team have bad intentions towards Linda!
In addition to Isa of Ice Flower, the other female members of the various Rock-level adventure teams also have a good impression of Linda.
No one can resist an adventurer who is intelligent, tall, handsome, and has extraordinary potential.
Ai Ke suddenly realized: if she didn't act now, she wouldn't even get to drink the soup.
I'm afraid that even after smashing it a couple of times, nothing will come out.
They were completely taken advantage of by others!
Therefore, Eiko decided to strike first.
She chuckled lewdly to herself as she stroked the spatial ring on her hand—a large 10x10 meter ring, more than five times more expensive than the 3x3 meter one that Linda had bought for 200,000 gold coins.
All Xueyan knew was that Ai Ke was from Nanyan City and was the eldest daughter of a certain family. But no one had ever thought about her exact age.
Ai Ke also made it clear that she did not want her teammates to investigate her identity.
In fact, in terms of wealth alone, Xueyan and everyone else combined cannot match Ai Ke.
Inside her spatial ring, besides a mountain of gold coins, there was also a carefully prepared delicious chicken soup.
