"Can I open it?"
"casual."
Linda opened the gift box, and inside lay a magic wristwatch.
The watch is entirely silver with a blue dial. A special magic stone depicts ocean waves with schools of fish swimming within them.
This small watch makes you feel like you're on the ocean.
"This piece isn't cheap, is it?"
Of course it's not cheap, it's ridiculously expensive.
Leah still felt a pang of regret when she thought about the price.
But in this situation, she would never utter the word "expensive" even if you killed her.
Lia calmly said, "It's only 70,000 gold coins. For Xueyan, that's enough to hunt one wild monster."
Linda didn't put it on immediately; instead, she put the magic watch away and returned it to the gift box.
"Thank you," Linda said.
Have we reached the point where we need to say thank you?
When Leah saw that Linda wasn't wearing the magic wristwatch and wasn't as moved as she had imagined, her face turned pale.
Linda's thanks only fueled her unease. The once dull saw had become much sharper, as if a diligent dwarf was cutting into her chest.
What she wanted was not Linda's gratitude.
Or perhaps Leah didn't know what she wanted from Linda. In any case, if Linda jokingly said, like she always did, "So, even a tightwad like you is willing to give such an expensive gift?", she would probably be happier.
Instead of a stiff "thank you".
This is the most weighty sentence, but also the most perfunctory.
Linda paused for a moment, looked at Leah whose eyes were a little red, and said, "Yes, an enemy? Thanking you is really an insult to you."
Leah shook her head.
"Xueyan will no longer target you."
She said, "However, this still cannot change my determination to defeat you. If you want to admit defeat, then do it now."
When Eko heard what Lia said, she almost lost her temper.
That doesn't seem right.
We're here to attend the Phoenix Flower Advancement Party and maybe win some goodwill.
Why are you declaring war here?
The guests present also whispered among themselves:
"This seems different from what Captain Leah said? Could her relationship with the Phoenix Flower be quite bad?"
"Did they come here after eating gunpowder?"
"I really hope Captain Phoenix can beat that Leah up and make her face reality. I'm a huge fan of Captain Phoenix, and I've disliked that red-haired dwarf for a long time."
Shh, be careful not to be overheard.
Most people thought Leah was there to cause trouble.
But all Linda could say was that she was used to it.
That's just how Leah is. Especially when she's being watched by a group of people, her need to save face increases tenfold.
Based on Linda's understanding of her, she could roughly translate the meaning behind her words:
I apologize for what happened before.
The rest is all empty bluster and nonsense.
It's that simple.
However, Linda will not reconcile with Leah.
He pretended not to understand and replied, "I don't recommend you do that, because the Phoenix Flower team won't lose to any team."
Leah was silent for a moment, then said, "You've become more confident since meeting them. You wouldn't have said such arrogant things before."
"Maybe," Linda sighed.
"Are we inferior to them?"
Lia's hoarse voice brought Xueyan and the others into the fray.
Aiko, Orlu, and the others looked at Linda with some nervousness.
This feeling of being 'inferior to others' is very similar to being cheated on.
However, Linda did not deny those three years.
"No."
"Then why?"
"Probably because..."
Linda looked at Lulu beside her, thinking of the obedient Monica and the usually unreliable but reliable Kaphni.
He said slowly, "Probably because they trust me."
"Because they trust me enough, the guides I created came in handy."
A few simple words were enough to break the collective defenses of Liya and the Xueyan group.
Indeed, they did not fully trust Linda.
I truly believe that Linda is a brilliant commander and an irreplaceable team member. Without her, Linda wouldn't have had the opportunity to establish the Phoenix Flower Adventure Team.
On the contrary, Linda's current teammates have no doubts about her whatsoever.
Even if Linda says that the fire pit ahead is formed by a demon's illusion, his team members can jump in without hesitation.
This is why the iris is so powerful.
Leah's eyelashes trembled slightly, and she opened her mouth, her face deathly pale, and said, "That night, I didn't take out that resume..."
"I will also leave the team," Linda said, "just a little later."
This answer felt like a punch to the stomach to Leah; she swayed and was supported by Kaine beside her.
