The situation was now under control, and Vice President Lysa was chatting with Airi.
The guild is very well-informed; they already know that Ellie and her group have made great profits in the secret realm, so they can discuss business cooperation.
Daisy then gently comforted Emil and Angela.
Kara grew increasingly anxious, glancing out the window every now and then, waiting for her help.
As a result, they found many knights outside, riding magical beasts and patrolling.
Now he felt like dying. He thought he could make a fortune, but he'd kicked a hornet's nest.
Just then, someone else rushed in. Luo Fan recognized him quite well; it was the chubby little Kairi. It had been a long time since he'd seen him, and the guy had gotten much stronger.
"Big brother, what brings you here?" Daisy greeted him.
"My father had something to do, so he sent me here. It's you, isn't it? How dare you bully my sister! Do you have a death wish? Guards, take them back and interrogate them properly!" Kerry planned to take action directly and bring them to his territory first.
"Brother, wait a bit longer! The Duke Glenn is behind them!" Daisy quickly pulled her brother.
Kara immediately felt relieved. He was just a young man, and she didn't know whose son he was, but he was wearing the uniform of the city guards.
"So what? It's not like everyone's a duke. Let's do it!"
As they were talking, another person rushed in, followed by Mishu, whom they had met once before.
"It's a misunderstanding, it's all a misunderstanding! If we had known this was Miss Sun's property, we wouldn't have dared to touch it even if you beat us to death!" a butler-like fellow loudly protested.
"Yes, Ellie, it's all your uncle's fault. We're family, so let's not stand on ceremony. I'll have everyone leave right now." Seeing the people in the room, Mishu started trying to build rapport with Ellie.
He had just learned that Ellie had been granted a title, and that her fiefdom was Shadow Valley. Although dangerous for dark mages, it was also a very valuable asset, something his family had been eyeing for a long time.
"Young Master Mishu, don't try to claim kinship with me. I don't have an uncle like you!" Ellie looked at the guy with disdain, probably confirming that he was the mastermind behind it all.
“Ellie, I’m your mother’s older brother, so how can I not be your uncle? I know you don’t like us, but no matter what, the blood ties are still there. This time it was all my fault. As long as you’re willing to return to the Glenn family, this property will be transferred to you immediately.”
"No need. I've already said that I can't join the Glenn family without my mother's consent, so give up on that idea. Besides, do you think I'll agree after you treat me like this?"
"Brother Kairi, they are suspected of commercial fraud. The guild can testify on our behalf. We'll have to trouble you to handle this."
With Luo Fan's analysis, Ai Li knew exactly what she should do. The Ice Cream Mercenary Group had worked so hard to get to where it was now, and it was time for her to stand up for everyone.
"Hehe. Since that's the case, then I won't stand on ceremony." Just as Kerry was about to send his men to take action, Mishu objected.
"Wait a minute. Ellie, you can't be so heartless!"
"Heh, there's absolutely no affection between us. I didn't provoke you at all; on the contrary, you're the ones setting me up. Don't worry, we'll move out according to the contract."
"We will cooperate with any other investigations that need to be conducted. Although our Ice Cream Mercenary Group is not of a high level, we are not someone that can be bullied by just anyone!"
After saying that, Ellie led the girls out the door. Since the authorities had already intervened, there was no need to waste words here.
"Ellie, you can't leave! Kelly, stop right there!" Mishu panicked. The city guards didn't care about his identity. He had only intended to trick Ellie into giving in, but he hadn't expected her to be so stubborn. Given her current status, things were getting complicated.
In his panic, Kara screamed. If he were really on someone else's turf, he couldn't guarantee he'd make it out alive.
"Young Master Mishu, you can't just stand by and watch someone die! You're the mastermind behind this!"
"Kara, shut up!" Mishu tried to shut him up, but he was stopped by the city guards.
“Young Master Mishu, since he has reported you, please come with us!” After the intense combat experience in the past period, coupled with his father’s strict discipline, Kerry now has a lot of experience in dealing with this kind of problem.
"Kerry, you dare? Aren't you afraid of my family's retaliation!"
"Heh, I'm just stating the facts. Men, take them all away, including that butler." Having experienced the taste of power, Kerry really enjoyed it; it was much better than being looked down upon by his younger siblings.
By the time Duke Glenn finally arrived, the group had already been taken away.
In another room, Ellie was seeking Guild Master Lysa's help, hoping the guild could assist in finding a manor.
Arthur, Cecilia, and Angela have gone to appease the other members. Because of this incident, coupled with the Duke's deliberate suppression, some members had already chosen to leave the mercenary group for fear of causing trouble.
Including the previous internal traitor incident, the majority of the mercenary group that remains is still the original core group from Sacred Heart City, and almost all of them are women.
"Ellie, this is easy. I'll send someone to handle it later and try to get it done for you today," Lysa said, giving the middle-aged man next to her a wink.
Then, Emil followed him and left first.
"Thank you, Guild Master. I was just planning to visit the guild today, but I didn't expect to run into something like this. Thank you so much for your help!"
"It's alright, shall we go to the guild now? I'll send someone to help with everything here. After all, our guild also has a responsibility, and we won't skimp on any compensation." Lysa really liked Ellie's straightforward and efficient way of doing things.
"Yes, Daisy, I'll leave things here in your care!"
“No problem, Captain Ellie~” Daisy made a face and was about to run out when she almost bumped into Duke Glenn, who suddenly opened the door.
"Aili, Captain Toria, and the guild master, it's all a misunderstanding. I didn't know Mishu had done something like this. It was definitely our fault this time. We will compensate you double for your losses, and we hope you won't escalate the situation."
Seeing everyone in the room, he quickly explained. He couldn't believe his foolish son had done something like this; how could he possibly improve his relationship with Ellie now?
“No need, things have already blown up.” Ellie shook her head. If this matter were suppressed, it would damage the reputation of the Ice Cream Mercenary Group.
"The Legion's reputation is still too small. It needs opportunities to demonstrate its strength so that it can avoid more troublemakers in the future." Luo Fan's clone advised from the side, secretly delighted. Ai Li was indeed changing in the direction he hoped for.
As for those troublemakers, his own clone had already gone with Tifa to check the situation. Those people had actually made the beautiful Emil cry; he wouldn't feel at ease unless he dealt with them properly.
Ellie no longer needs to take action herself; she only needs to share some of her divine sense.
"It's not too late to go now. Ellie, I'm your grandfather, after all. Come with me!"
Without saying much, Ellie turned and left with Lysa and Toria.
This old man has the same temper as his son; they both think too highly of themselves!
