After quitting the team, the adventurers regretted it

Ai Ke couldn't raise her head because of the teasing. She pretended to be angry and said, "If you keep talking nonsense, I will lock you all in the detention room!"

"Hahaha, it turns out young ladies can also be shy."

Another good-natured laugh.

Including Bovis, all the members of Shengyan were smiling. With the arrival of Aiko and Linda, the dark clouds lingering in their eyes dissipated a lot.

After the greetings, Linda straightened his face and said, "I just heard a noise coming from the top floor, and I was going to go over and take a look with Aiko."

Bovis was overjoyed, and just as he was about to agree, a mocking voice came from behind him:
"How can an out-of-town adventurer be qualified to attend the three-group meeting in Nanyan City?"

Turning to look at that person, the members of Shengyan all showed angry expressions.

The sturdy man carrying a double-edged axe said sarcastically, "Xiong Xiong, you are a coward who doesn't even dare to accept Bovis' challenge, how dare you talk to us?"

"Bullshit, that's because I'm unwell!"

The muscular bear wearing a gold chain had his eyes wide open and two streams of heavy air spurted out of his nostrils.

The eleven orc team members stepped forward together and confronted the people from Shengyan.

Dozens of auras collided with each other, the ground beneath their feet shook, the glass trembled, and the paintings used for decoration in the hall actually had cracks.

The two sides were on the verge of a fight, their eyes red, and they were about to go to war if they disagreed.

Seeing this scene, Linda's heart trembled.

The undercurrents within Nanyan City are more serious than he thought.

Bovis' eyes flashed, and he stretched out a hand to block the burly man with the double-edged axe.

"Deputy commander?" the burly man asked in surprise.

Bovis said expressionlessly, "You all want to be captured by the Knights of the Law Enforcement Group? Even if it's a Rising Sun-class adventure group, we can't break the rules."

"You don't dare to speak directly, but you still make excuses." Xiong Xiong's momentum became even stronger, pointing at Lin Da arrogantly: "I do have something to ask this kid."

"You can ask, let your leader come."

Linda looked indifferent: "A deputy head is not qualified enough."

"A newly promoted Moon Stage, dare you talk to me like this?"

As soon as he finished speaking, a dark bear paw as big as a palm-leaf fan suddenly grabbed Linda's head!

The nails on top were flashing with cold light and were as sharp as a knife. Even if it was a piece of rock, it would probably be cut like tofu!

Unexpectedly, the orc was so reckless that Linda once suspected that the fact that he had killed Huer had been exposed.

While thinking, Linda raised his hand and grabbed Xiong Xiong's wrist.

Linda's arms are about the same size as a normal person's, while Xiong Xiong's hands are covered with black hair and are as thick as his thighs. The comparison between the two is like that between a cat and a tiger.

But it was this "cat's paw" that firmly grasped the bear's wrist, making it unable to move.

Xiong Xiong's face changed, he clenched his teeth, and concentrated all his strength on his right hand.

But he was shocked to find that he still couldn't move Linda at all.

Even though he was holding it in until his face turned red and the veins on his forehead were about to burst, the result remained unchanged.

Everyone present is a senior Moon-level warrior with a keen eye.

It was instantly apparent that Linda's strength was no weaker than Xiong Xiong's!
Mingtu, the deputy leader of Zijingshi, who was planning to help, stopped and a thoughtful look appeared in his eyes.

"Young man, that's great!" said the burly man with a double-edged axe in surprise.

Not long after he was promoted to the Moon Stage, he was already on par with Xiong Xiong.

If he grows up a few more years, that will be terrible.

The Holy Rock Adventure Group, it seems like they have found a treasure!
Bovis was also shocked. He didn't expect that Linda would become so powerful after just one month of not seeing her.

The last time they met, it took Linda's entire team to barely defeat him.

But now, one-on-one, Bovis had no confidence in winning.

"This kid must not be treated as a newcomer!"

Purvis was surprised and delighted.

What he valued most was Linda's status as the captain of the Luanweihua. With Linda in the picture, even a "newbie" Chaoyang-class army would be enough to make the Xionghou and Zijingshi families wary.

“The content of this meeting was originally about how to improve relations with Baige City.

It so happens that the adventurer representative of Baige City is here. Wouldn't it be much better to have a personal interview than just guessing?

Shengyan believes that Captain Luanweihua is fully qualified to participate in the meeting! "

Bovis walked over, held the two men's shoulders, and his earth-based fighting spirit suddenly surged out, separating the two sides.

Feeling the earth-type fighting spirit remaining in his body, Linda's heart was slightly moved, and he glanced at Bovis again.

This [Smiling Swordsman] gave him the feeling that he was much stronger than Xiong Xiong.

Shengyan is indeed a veteran adventure group.

"Go ahead." Bovis winked and led the group to block the stairs.

Xiong Xiong rubbed his red wrist, stood there, and watched Linda and Aiko walk towards the top floor unwillingly.

The joint meetings of the three groups have always been held on the top floor of the Paradise Land.

The huge conference hall was deserted with only three people present.

At the round table, the three group leaders each occupied a side.

Rochelle was wearing a brown windbreaker, with the right sleeve empty, and his left hand clenched into a fist in anger.

"You two, are you threatening me?"

There seemed to be a thunderstorm brewing in his voice, ready to erupt at any moment.

But Lores and Xiong Ji, seeing his empty right shoulder, laughed at the same time.

"Captain Rochelle, I'm doing this for your own good."

Lores sighed and said, "You were injured in the battle with Senlong and then attacked by the demons. Your condition is getting worse and worse. If you delay any longer, even if you use the secret treasure of my Bauhinia Stone family, the [Green Dragon Blessing] potion, it will not be able to save your broken magic circuit."

"Captain Lores is right."

Xiong Jimansi combed the white hair on his chest in an orderly manner and smiled faintly, "Captain Lores' son Pike and Saint Rock's Echo are a perfect match. If I were you, I would be so happy that I couldn't sleep for three days."

"Look how reasonable Captain Xiong Ji is. In my opinion, you are injured and need to rest and recuperate in the mine that Shengyan is in charge of in the wild. I am afraid I will not be able to protect the safety of the miners. Captain Xiong Ji has a lot of people under his command, so just let them manage it." Lores said.

The two of them sang in unison and looked at Rochelle with a smile.

It was this scene that made Rochelle furious.

Upon learning that he was seriously injured, Lores secretly allied with Xiong Ji.

One of them was plotting against his daughter, and the other was plotting against Shengyan's biggest source of income, the wild mine.

This is the foundation of Shengyan, providing an annual income of up to 20 million gold.

Lores and Xiong Ji are planning to snatch Shengyan's lifeblood, how can Rochelle not be angry!
"Haha, stop yelling and sit down and talk, so as to avoid getting angry and causing more harm."

Xiong Ji smiled wryly: "Summer is here, and the monsters in the wild have become irritable and aggressive because of the heat. If there is a sneak attack on the mine at night and there are casualties, can you bear the responsibility?"

"What do you mean?" Rochelle slammed the table.

"This is a conference room, not a training ground." Xiong Ji still smiled, but with a hint of sarcasm at the corner of his mouth: "The table is not guilty. It's so pitiful that you hit it like this."

Lores: "Hahaha, Captain Xiongji is really full of wit, worthy of being an orc who graduated from a high-level adventurer academy."

The serious joint meeting of the three groups was treated by the two as a casual chat, without any tension at all.

He teased Rochelle again and again, as if he was waiting for Rochelle to overturn the table and attack him.

When the Holy Rock Adventure Group was at its peak, they were concerned about Rochelle's strong personal strength and did not dare to act recklessly.

But now, Rochelle has lost an arm and his magic circuit is damaged. He is like a dragon with its teeth pulled out, strong on the outside but weak on the inside.

Xiong Ji said bluntly: "I'm ready to sign the transfer contract for the mine, Captain Rochelle, I don't need to find you a pen, right?" A parchment contract was pushed in front of Rochelle across the round table.

The one-armed middle-aged man stared at the contract in a trance and was silent for a long time.

With the two great forces of Xionghou and Zijingshi united, the Holy Rock Adventure Group really had no power to resist. Even if they resisted, the gains would not outweigh the losses. Without himself, the top combat power, Bovis was stronger than the deputy leader, but weaker than the leader.

There is a period of transition within Shengyan, and it is a time that needs calm development.

"If we obey them, we can at least leave Shengyan a way out."

Rochelle sat back in her chair wearily.

Seeing him take the contract, Xiong Ji and Lores looked at each other secretly, with a knowing smile on their faces.

Rochelle, you have come to this day!
——Dong dong.

At this moment, there was a sudden knock on the door.

"Who?"

Xiong Ji said uneasily.

Such an important meeting, non-urgent matters will not disturb them.

Has the situation changed?

He looked at Lores, but saw Lores smiling calmly, his face full of confidence.

That means: Xiong Da, you worry too much.

With two Chaoyang-class players joining forces, Shengyan has no chance of making a comeback.

If not for this, Lores would not have taken the risk of joining forces with the orcs.

"Come in."

Rochelle said weakly, rubbing her forehead.

From Rochelle's gloomy expression, it can be seen that his thoughts are very similar to Lores'.

Unless a Chaoyang-class ship descends from the sky, ignores the risks, and enthusiastically helps Shengyan to fight against Lores and Xiongji.
Rochelle didn't even dare to hope for such a thing.

Da da.

Footsteps gradually approached.

Rochelle took out his quill and was about to sign the transfer deed.

But suddenly I noticed that the expressions of Lores and Xiong Ji were extremely strange.

The two of them opened their mouths slightly, their eyes in astonishment, as if they saw something incomprehensible.

"Father, have you been hurt in the brain by the demons? Why are you signing such a shitty contract?"

A female voice with hint of anger rang in my ears.

"Ok?"

This was an extremely familiar voice, and every time Rochelle thought of it, he would become furious.

Rochelle was stunned for a moment and turned his head to look.

Standing next to him was a blonde girl in a white dress, with a hint of blame and distress in her raised eyebrows.

Rochelle blinked in confusion when her daughter, who had been away from home for three years, suddenly appeared in front of her.

"Ahem, you still remember to come back?"

Realizing his mistake, Rochelle coughed and said, "Go back to White Pigeon City. You have nothing to do here."

"Hand, what's wrong?"

Ai Ke's eyes were red and she touched it timidly.

"It's just a minor injury, but I can still slay a dragon." Rochelle said impatiently. Then, he glanced at the young man who accompanied Eco and deliberately left him alone.

During this meeting, Linda's magical aura was much stronger. Although not as strong as that of this level 46 Holy Rock leader, it had definitely reached the Moon Rank.

Rochelle's mood was far from being as calm as it appeared.

"Boy, go back to where you came from with Aiko."

Rochelle said indifferently: "It is not your turn to interfere in the affairs of Nanyan City."

"Bai Ge City certainly doesn't intend to interfere in Nanyan City's affairs. I came here for something else."

Linda shook his head slightly, his eyes casually passing over Lores and Xiong Ji: "Two captains, do you mind me coming here uninvited?"

After hesitating for a moment, Lores said kindly: "The topic of this meeting happens to be related to Baige City. We welcome Captain Linda to participate in the meeting."

"Yes, from the Xionghou Adventure Group. We have been wanting to meet you for a long time." Xiong Ji smiled and pulled out a chair next to him. "Captain Luanweihua, please take a seat."

The enthusiastic attitude of the two made Linda secretly alert, and he said, "No need to sit down, we will leave after we finish the work."

Under the gaze of the three leaders, Linda held Echo's hand and said, "In the near future, I will sign a covenant with the daughter of Shengyan. I came here this time to get the approval of Leader Rochelle."

"You and Echo?"

Lores's expression changed first.

He glanced at Xiong Ji and saw that his face was equally gloomy.

Obviously, he didn't expect that a Luanweihua would suddenly appear.

Rochelle looked at Linda with a complicated look and said, "Aren't you afraid of getting yourself into trouble?"

The implication is that if you don't want to offend Lores and Xiong Ji, you should leave now.

"Fire? I didn't see it." Linda pretended to look around and said in surprise.

"Hahaha, Captain Luanweihua is indeed a brave young man with extraordinary bearing." Lores clapped his hands. "At such a young age, he has the confidence of a senior adventurer. My group of cowardly members should learn from him."

How could Lin Da not hear the sarcasm in the other party's tone? It was a mockery of his lack of ability but his bad temper.

Without responding directly to Lores, Linda smiled faintly and said, "I came here for another reason. I heard that Captain Rochelle seemed to be in a bad mood recently. I specially prepared an entertainment program, hoping to help the captain cheer up."

"what?"

The three people present looked puzzled.

It is somewhat inappropriate to perform in such a serious occasion.

However, thinking of Linda's title of "Eye of Truth", they felt that the matter was not that simple.

Xiong Ji said politely: "It's still early before dark, there's plenty of time, Captain Linda, just go ahead and perform, and let us old guys open our eyes."

"It's not something profound, just for fun."

Linda smiled modestly, strolled to the floor-to-ceiling window, and looked at the blue sky and white clouds.

Several people looked at the same time.

There is nothing there.

Linda was not in a hurry and waited patiently.

Lores and Xiong Ji looked at each other, wondering what Linda was keeping secret.

About a minute later, a sparrow flew by in the distance.

Whoosh!
When they heard the sound of glass shattering from the floor-to-ceiling window, they realized that Linda had taken action.

In just a breath, Linda turned back quickly, with a sparrow standing in the palm of his hand.

The sparrow was a little confused. It blinked its soybean-sized eyes and looked at everyone, as if it didn't understand how it ended up in such a place.

In the conference room, the three captains, Lores, Xiong Ji and Rochelle, stared intently at the sparrow in Linda's hand, with a hint of doubt in their eyes.

The three of them, three pairs of eyes, were not able to see clearly when Linda moved. (End of this chapter)
