A massive black archway stood before us, guarded by two level 20 guards.
Those poor adventurers would be scolded and driven away just by getting close.
But Isa, being a renowned adventurer captain, was allowed to pass simply by showing her face.
Carrying pastries and fruit, they arrived at the foot of the Phoenix Flower Villa.
Isa first took out a small mirror from her ring and tidied her appearance.
She was dressed in a relaxed casual outfit, wearing a white fuzzy turtleneck sweater on top and Elf House jeans on the bottom.
There were chafed holes at the knees, revealing snow-white skin; it seemed to be a new seasonal item...
These pants are extremely fitted, highlighting Isa's long, straight legs.
Her silver hair cascaded down her back, reaching her hips, and flowed as she walked, captivating many passersby. When they realized that this beautiful silver-haired girl was standing in front of the villa with the hibiscus flowers, a look of sudden realization flashed in their eyes, and they clicked their tongues in envy.
As expected of Captain Linda, all sorts of girls attend his parties every day...
For some people, Linda's "lustful" side is actually an advantage.
Many young women who have entered the adult entertainment industry want to attend Linda's party, hoping to rise to the top overnight.
At the villa's gate, Isabella nodded, put away the small mirror, and pressed the doorbell with her slender white index finger.
Ding-dong
A crisp sound rang out.
Like lighting a signal fire on a battlefield, Isa felt a sudden, inexplicable tension. She clutched her chest, gently adjusting her breathing…
Thinking to myself, I should first inquire about Luminaria's recent situation to show concern, and then bring up the topic of the exhibition match. I couldn't give the impression that she was snobbish. She only remembers to visit when there's something wrong...
Lost in a jumble of thoughts, a full minute passed, and the door in front of me remained closed.
Isabella's heart tightened. Had Linda and the others already gone to sleep?
Is it inappropriate to disturb them? Or perhaps they're not asleep, just making "little teammates" together...
Linda had already made it clear that Lulu was his sworn sister; otherwise, if something hadn't happened, Isa would have doubted Linda's abilities.
Maybe you're halfway through your work and hear the doorbell ring, then you hide under the covers pretending not to hear it... Or maybe you really didn't hear it? It's better to ring the doorbell a few more times...
Isa has a calm and composed personality, which is both a strength and a weakness. She tends to overthink things, always striving to complete tasks perfectly.
This personality trait is a huge advantage in adventures, but in real life, it can only increase anxiety.
Isa is overthinking things right now, her mind is in turmoil, and she's pacing anxiously in front of the door.
She took a few steps back and looked up. She secretly decided that if all the lights in the villa were off, it meant that the people from the Phoenix Flower Clan were asleep, and she wouldn't disturb them any longer and would head home.
Upon closer inspection, the bedroom on the second floor was indeed completely dark.
But the other side is lit.
Isa wasn't clear on the exact layout of the villa, only vaguely remembering that it seemed to be a communal bathroom...
The pale yellow curtains blocked her view, and Isabella stared wide-eyed, trying to see what was behind her.
Suddenly, two blurry figures appeared on the curtains.
One of them, tall and seemingly male, grabbed the neck of another petite woman and pinned her to the ground.
then...
Up and down!
"A robber?! Could that woman be Monica?"
Isabella's eyes flashed coldly.
She hated criminals who violated imperial laws, and whenever she saw them, she would tie them up and send them to the Knights.
Without further hesitation, Isa took out a silver rapier from her ring and stabbed it at the door lock.
Click.
With her level 33 battle aura, this simple magical lock was no different from one made of paper.
Harboring murderous intent towards the robbers, Isa tiptoed, trying not to make a sound and alert them, and crept up to the second floor in the dark.
The closer you get to the public bathroom, the louder the sound becomes.
There were sounds of struggling, screams of agony, and pitiful pleas for mercy...
Mixed together, it entered Isa's ears.
She immediately pictured the scene of the robbers abusing Linda's team.
"Shameless scoundrel!"
Enraged, Isa appeared at the entrance of the public bathroom in an instant, her figure flashing like a silver light.
"Robber, prepare to die!"
She kicked open the wooden door, her face full of anger, and pointed her rapier at the tall man wrapped in a bath towel!
"I-Isa?"
"Linda?"
Isa, standing at the door, stared at the man and froze.
The robber who was holding Monica down and pushing her into the bathtub was actually Linda?
Isa asked blankly, "What...are you doing?"
What she saw before her was a large bathtub filled with hot water.
The girls, wrapped in towels, lay in the bathtub with pained expressions, groaning as if a bunch of crabs were pinching their toes below.
The bathwater was a pale red color. Isa sniffed it and smelled... the stench of blood?
To sprinkle the blood of some kind of life into the bath?
These blood contain extremely violent energy, causing the bath to bubble and gurgle, just like a lava pool.
Isha's fighting style is ice-based. As soon as she opened the door, the fiery energy from the bath hit her, causing a stinging sensation in her magic circuits and making her eyebrows furrow involuntarily.
Staying in such a place is torture for ice-type adventurers.
But others seem to be enjoying this torment?
All I could see was Linda standing by the pool, her hands pressing down on Lia's snow-white shoulders, preventing Lia from getting out.
