Quite the opposite!
McCarty even considered tying Linda up and throwing her into the hut for a thorough interrogation.
In the square, a variety of gazes, each with its own hidden meaning, fell upon Linda.
Linda remained unfazed and led the White Dove Alliance's forces straight to the center of the square.
He looked at the dozens of people opposite him from across the ice and snow arena, which was a meter high.
"It's you?" a surprised voice rang out.
"Yes, it's me."
Linda replied calmly.
He had met the three people opposite him yesterday.
"Never mind, it's all the same. But I'll say something anyway."
Sitting in the chair, a silver-haired man with a scarred face crossed his arms and said calmly:
"As long as you are willing to join Dark Rose, my previous promise still stands. I will soon be leaving Ice Abyss for personal reasons, and at that time, you will take over the leadership of Dark Rose."
Upon hearing this, Mi San and Alexander's expressions immediately changed.
The leadership position was given to an outsider?
Oren thinks way too highly of this guy!
An uproar erupted in the square.
The braided elf was bewildered: "Oren ranked first in all four quarters of the assessments last year, even killing the demon [Blue Silver Vine] who was ranked 30th on the Light Ranking. He was undoubtedly the number one second-level student. Is that newcomer worth his attention?"
Even when Wogan and Romani were defeated by Oren, Oren only invited them to join, never promising them the position of leader.
In other words, Linda's importance in Oren's heart surpasses that of the previous two!
Everyone was smitten with Linda.
Oren's offer was too tempting.
If you join, you'll instantly become the second-in-command of Dark Rose.
This is like a pie falling from the sky!
The square was silent, but everyone's heart was restless, wondering what choice the newlywed would make.
Oren remained calm, playing with the dragon totem on his shoulder, quietly awaiting Linda's reply.
Linda closed her eyes and thought for a long time.
Just as Oren admired him, he also admired Oren. Such a calm and magnanimous man would be a great help on their adventures if he became a companion.
That is why Oren was chosen by the Dragon's Tomb and entered the Ice Abyss with some purpose.
On the other hand, joining Dark Rose would be beneficial to his investigation.
But Linda gently shook her head and said, "I'm sorry, my friends are injured. It was your people who did it."
Mi San and Alexander's expressions grew increasingly grim.
“You have no evidence,” Mi San said through gritted teeth.
"No evidence is needed. My belief that you did it is enough," Linda said expressionlessly.
Oren nodded: "Indeed, no evidence is needed. But these two have followed me for over a decade and come from the same hometown. I cannot easily abandon them, so I apologize."
The negotiations broke down instantly.
"Words are useless, let's settle this with fists."
Linda didn't expect Oren to hand over anyone. She bent her knees slightly, exerted a little force, and jumped onto the ice and snow platform.
As I looked around, I spotted a striking figure.
A mouse hiding behind Alexander.
No wonder I didn't see anyone during roll call this morning; so that's where they were.
Linda pointed at Shuli: "If I win, can you hand him over to me?"
Oren said nonchalantly, "Whatever, I can take it with me whether I win or lose."
Thanks.
Linda said sincerely.
Shu Li was a little confused.
I am the number one genius of the Flowery Mouse Tribe. How come these two people treat me like leftover cabbage at a market stall, free for anyone who wants it?
The despicable Linda stood atop the icy platform, slowly drawing a purple longsword, chanting an incantation, casting a green shield, and then said:
"The match is supposed to be best of three, right? But in my opinion, it's unnecessary."
"You want to change the competition method?" Oren rested his chin on his hand, opened a comic book, and showed it to the dragon on his shoulder.
"No, I mean, that's too much trouble."
Linda shook her head: "Send two of you to go together. If I win, that will be a 'win-win'."
He paused, staring intently at Oren, his tone firm and deliberate: "One game to decide the outcome."
