"It is my fault."

After being beaten up by Haroni in a "measured" way, Bilge, with a bruised face, leaned back in his chair half dead, and apologized solemnly for the twelfth time: "Please be magnanimous and don't argue with a fool like me who doesn't have enough brains."

"go to hell!"

Haroni, who had originally been calm and peaceful, seemed to be possessed by a witch, and without hesitation gave Burge an order that was difficult to carry out.

"Ugh!"

Although he knew that he was only half responsible at most, he did not dare to blame the other party. His description was easily misunderstood. Bilger sighed, then glared at his companions next to him and gritted his teeth and said, "You guys are just watching the fun and don't mind making trouble. Help me--!"

Nar turned his head expressionlessly and read in a very standard tone stick: "Nar doesn't understand."

"Bilger."

Zaer pushed up his glasses and said calmly, "Everyone is responsible for their own actions."

"ah--"

Nymaya clenched her fists excitedly and screamed softly, "Bilger, you big pervert!"

"I felt something was wrong when Haroni said she had a crush on you, but the three of them said they thought it was funny so they didn't let me remind them."

Alkik crossed his arms and said seriously, "So I was just watching the fun, but the three of them were the ones who were watching the fun and didn't mind making trouble."

Nar: “…”

Zar: “…”

Nymaya: “…”

"You three—"

Bilger, who always acted like a shy boy in front of Mo Tan and others, and was hardworking, humble, and honest in most cases, took a deep breath, showed a bruised smile to the three companions sold by Alkik, and said word by word: "You like to stir up trouble, right?"

"hiss!!!"

The three young men, who rarely saw Birger get angry, were startled immediately. Then the brothers Nar and Zar took a step back tacitly and raised their hands to push Nymya on the back.

"It's all a misunderstanding!"

Knowing that she was the only one who could appease Haroni, Nimeya immediately rushed to Haroni and said awkwardly under Bilge's oppressive gaze: "Hey, Haroni baby, you should know that Bilge didn't take advantage of you on purpose. He has a juvenile aesthetic. Even if he likes me, he can't like you."

"?"

Haroni frowned slightly and subconsciously reached for the spear behind her.

"I! mean! that!"

Nymaya, knowing that she had said the wrong thing, broke into a sweat. She quickly held her sister's arm and said with a dry laugh, "The situation is critical right now. Aunt Limlaine is not here, and Birger has finally returned. Let's put aside the matter of acting leader and explain the situation first."

"..."

After being silent for about two seconds, Haroni finally put down her right hand that was reaching for the spear, and glanced at Birger with a cold expression: "Where were we talking about just now?"

"That Birger is indeed the man you have chosen."

Bilge... said Wang Badan behind him.

Bilger: “?!”

Haroni: “…”

BOOOOOM!

With a skillful kick, he kicked Wang Badan's head back, and then stuffed a high-explosive egg into his shell. After a muffled sound and a wisp of black smoke came out of the turtle shell, Ji Xiaoge coughed lightly and gave Haroni a smile with a sugary triple plus sign: "The so-called [Unicorn Mercenary Group] is at most a C+ level group, which is nothing compared to us, the Destroyer King."

"That's right!"

Bilger nodded vigorously and continued the main topic of Ji Xiaoge's supplementary explanation at a very fast speed. He asked Haroni in a serious tone: "So why did we suffer such a severe blow? Based on the information Zar just gave me, let alone causing us serious injuries, that regiment would probably be torn to pieces by you the first time it crashed into us."

Haroni sighed silently after hearing this, and after a long while she said, "In fact, as you just said, Bilge, that regiment was torn to pieces by us after it crashed into us."

Bilger was stunned and asked puzzledly: "What do you mean?"

"literal meaning."

Nymeya, who was holding Haroni's arm, shrugged and said crisply, "A few days ago, Mr. Wenger came to us and said that there was something uneasy around the ranch. He asked if we could go over and take care of it. So Haroni and Alkik brought two teams to help 'take care of it'. It turned out that the poachers this time were none other than the Unicorn Mercenary Group."

Bilge frowned slightly and asked, "Are they the planners or the collaborators?"

"Afterwards, Zar did some research and found out that Unicorn was probably employed by someone, but the identity of the employer is very mysterious. Although we have looked for connections to investigate, we have not yet found any results."

Haroni took over the conversation and said seriously: "In short, after confirming that the other party had no intention of backing down, Alkik and I led everyone to teach those people a small lesson."

Burge nodded seriously and asked, "How many did you kill?"

"Kill half the regiment."

Haroni gave a reply that shocked Ji Xiaoge. She said calmly, "Mr. Wenger hates those 'third-rate poachers' as he calls them, so he asked us to chop off a finger if they extended one. If they extended a whole claw, we would chop it off. In addition, he had already warned them sternly before, so we just let go and did it."

Gu Xiaole blinked with interest and asked curiously, "Is it the 'kill' I understand?" "I don't know how you understand it, but we are just following the employer's request to annihilate all the 'undesirables' who enter the ranch."

Because the 'Wow Adventurer Team' was Loya's friend, Haroni didn't mind Gu Xiaole's interruption. Instead, she explained very seriously: "Specifically, we searched for and killed the members of the Unicorn Mercenary Group who sneaked into the ranch from all directions. With no advantage in numbers, we quickly killed more than half of those guys who came out in full force."

"By the way, Mr. Wenger is a regular customer of our [Wreckage Mercenary Group] and a friend of my uncle. Although he has several properties in Anka, he lives in the large ranch in the south of the market most of the time."

Bilge also gave Mo Tan and the others a scientific explanation, saying in detail: "He is one of the largest rare beast merchants in Anka Market. His main business is to cultivate docile functional beasts, such as manned terrain dragons, communication wind falcons, and fragrant coconut milk cows. In the past two years, he has also opened up a business of selling ornamental beasts, which is said to be very popular among wealthy people."

"I see."

Mo Tan nodded slightly and immediately understood the nature of Mr. Wenger's business.

After all, there is a place in the Kevos family mansion, which has become the core hub of the Harlequin card in a sense. It is an animal pen that was specially built by the previous head of the family, Count Fezeran Kevos, to please his daughter. It houses a large number of cute animals or magical beasts.

As for the so-called functional monsters, there are even more of them. Based on the species diversity in the world view of [Realm of Innocence], Mo Tan alone has seen dozens of species with his own eyes. The main one is that only you can't buy it, and no businessman can't think of it.

As the saying goes, where there is trade, there is a market. Since some people like to collect this kind of "pets", it is natural for there to be rare animal dealers like Wenger who specialize in raising and breeding related species.

"Mr. Wenger's ranch is very large. Normally, it is managed by him and his apprentices. Whenever he needs more manpower, he will come to Anka to collect by-products and then ask the Adventurer's Guild to recruit people. When encountering a more serious situation like poaching, the deterrent power of mercenaries is often stronger."

Seeing that Mo Tan and the others were indeed trying to understand the situation carefully, Birger explained in detail: "After we took on the job of guarding the ranch once, Mr. Wenger basically gave us [The Destroyer] for all the subsequent commissions. We have been having a pleasant cooperation over the years. As for this time..."

“It was a pleasant experience this time as well.”

Zaer wiped his glasses and said seriously, "Although we didn't expect that any 'companions' would openly undertake the local poaching mission, we did a good job in completing the commission of Wenger Ranch and chopped off every claw that dared to reach out to those monsters."

Burge hesitated for a moment, then continued to ask: "What happened next?"

"After the mission is successfully completed, we will return to Anka and plan to secretly investigate the employer of the Unicorn Mercenary Group according to the additional commission while waiting for you to return from delivering food to the tribe."

Alkik narrowed his eyes and said grimly, "On the way, we killed one third of the unicorns and they came to seek revenge. Although we briefly told them the rules, such as 'don't acknowledge the hatred generated during the mission' and 'don't continue the position during the mission after the mission', those fools who wanted to die didn't care."

Bilge paused for a moment: "Could it be that..."

"No, we took care of all those idiots."

Haroni, who knew exactly what Bilge was going to ask, shook her head and said seriously, "It was useless to reason with them. They wanted to kill us right from the start, so of course we showed no mercy. It only took us half an hour to get rid of those unruly bastards. These 'grass-eating' gangs were rotten at the root, so it's a good thing to get rid of them."

"Ah."

Bilge had no objection to Haroni's evaluation of the Unicorn Mercenary Group, but asked more seriously: "So what you mean is that on the way back to Anka from Wenger Ranch, you had already removed the group called Unicorn from the list?"

Haroni nodded slightly and replied, "Yes, the rigid requirement for retaining membership is that the total number of members is not less than one-tenth of the registered number. However, according to the information Zar later obtained from the union, the registered number of the Unicorn Mercenary Group was 59, and the total number of members killed by us that day was also exactly 59. In theory, a group with all its members dead should be forcibly expelled."

Bilge immediately noticed something wrong in Haroni's words and asked, "So the Unicorn Mercenary Group has not been removed from the group?"

"Not only was it not as simple as being expelled, but after we kindly reported the incident to the union, the next day the status of the Unicorn Mercenary Group changed from 'mission in progress' to 'openly accepting missions'."

Nar smacked his lips and said unhappily, "And when we paid to review the information as an employer, we found that their list was very 'complete'. In simple terms, everyone is alive and well."

Burge frowned and asked in confusion: "Didn't you contact the 'cleaner'?"

“No contact.”

Haroni shook her head and said seriously, "All the people who were killed this time turned into a white light and disappeared directly after death. Not only were there no bodies, but even the blood that was spilled on the ground during the previous battle disappeared. If it weren't for the fact that the hand feel and injuries from the gunfight were still there, and everyone could prove what happened that day, we would have even suspected the possibility that it was a group hallucination."

"Ah this——"

Upon hearing this, Bilge immediately turned to look at Mo Tan and gave him an inquiring look.

"Even if we only look at the fact that 'after death, he will turn into a white light and disappear', we can basically confirm that he is an 'alien'."

Mo Tan touched his chin and said thoughtfully, "But if you are a player, you can't avoid a huge problem. That is, after being killed in the game, although you can start over, your strength will be directly reset to zero. The possibility of training to a high level within 24 hours and then gathering in Ankh again... is almost non-existent."

Haroni looked at Mo Tan seriously and said, "Although I didn't fully understand what you said, the feedback from the union is that... those members of the Unicorn Mercenary Group who were killed by us are still alive."

Bilge and Mo Tan exchanged glances, then continued to ask: "Then what did you do?"

"investigation."

Haroni gave an expected answer and said seriously, "Since we have already formed a hostile stance, we naturally need to learn more about the situation. At least we need to understand why those people who should have been killed by us are still alive and well."

"I think so, so what is your method of investigation?"

"Both the leader and the deputy leader were away. To avoid complications, we decided not to take action in Anka. So we waited until the Unicorn Mercenary Group received a mission to go to the Goblin Wilderness to wipe out a bandit group before we followed them."

"How many people went?"

"For safety reasons, most of them have gone."

"I see. So you were planning to destroy each other again from the beginning, right?"

"Zar thinks something is fishy and it's better to take preemptive action. We all agree with this."

"The results of it?"

"Those guys who use the same name as when the Unicorn Mercenaries were registered, but are definitely not the same people... are terrifyingly strong."
