Lynn did not answer, but looked up at Luke and then glanced at the adventurers who were silently approaching.

Seeing this, Lynn immediately realized that he was being watched.

The Luke in front of him was clearly a novice adventurer, just like him.

No novice could produce something like this, writing a chain of characters that seems unprofessional. It's as if they're trying to prove they're truly someone sent by Jack.

To do something like this, you should at least do it secretly, somewhere where no one is around, right?

"You mean you accepted the mission issued by Jeken Knightworth?"

Lynn glanced at Luke with a hint of pity, and after Luke nodded, he pointed to the saleswoman behind him and said:

"If you're referring to that mission, unfortunately, it has already been completed."

"what?"

Upon hearing this, Luke immediately turned to look at Ramie beside him.

In his view, "completed" meant that Lynn had been found and the order had been submitted!

Besides him, the most likely person to complete the task is Ramie, the third party.

Am I still too late?

Luke was stunned for a moment, then his face turned pale, a result of the sadness of watching 30 fiat currency slip through his fingers.

At this moment, upon hearing Lynn say that the mission was complete, the adventurers who were approaching from the next location immediately stopped in their tracks.

Some of them even went directly to the bar and asked the receptionist:

"Has the search mission been completed? The one with the Stigmata number 1608?"

Upon hearing this, the saleswoman glanced somewhat awkwardly at Ramie, who had already taken out her badge. After confirming that the badge was indeed correct, she nodded and said:

"Task number 1608 has indeed been completed by this gentleman and is currently in the settlement process."

"Done?" The adventurer clicked his tongue upon seeing this, turned and walked away, muttering under his breath, "Another missed order!"

Immediately, the crowd that had gathered around began to turn away, with occasional complaints such as "It's a waste of my time" and "Isn't the guild quest update too slow?"

At this moment, Lynn glanced at the departing adventurers, nodded slightly, then turned to Luke, who was standing there in a daze, and said:

"You heard it too, unfortunately, the mission is complete."

"This isn't right!"

Luke's face flushed red, and he pointed somewhat anxiously at the saleswoman, saying:

"She just said 'sir,' right?"

Lynn raised an eyebrow upon hearing this, but glanced at Luke with surprise:

"You're very perceptive. And then, what's the difference?"

“Of course it’s different!” Luke’s voice rose a octave. “Doesn’t this mean that you completed the task, not this fairy lady next to you?”

Ramy blinked, glanced at Lynn, and tugged at Lynn's sleeve, signaling him not to argue with Luke, as it would have a bad influence.

Noticing Ramy's subtle movement, Lynn glanced at her sideways, met her gaze, and then turned to Luke, saying:

"Generally speaking, the task was completed by the two of us, is there a problem with that?"

Before Luke could answer, Lynn added:

“That’s 30! I’m envious too, and then I’ll split the money with the person who found me. Is there a problem with that?”

Lynn believed he had given a fairly reasonable answer.

However, after glancing at him, Luke nodded and said:

"Have!!"

"And there's a big problem!!"

Luke then said bluntly:

"Even if you've reached an agreement, how did you complete the task if the employer isn't here?"

Lynn gave Luke a strange look: "We have the identity badge he granted us, is that not allowed?"

"Isn't that counterfeiting?!"

Luke raised his voice a notch and bluntly accused:

"This is fraud!!"

"Posting tasks yourself and completing them yourself—what's the difference between that and lying?"

"Besides, who knows if your identity badges were stolen?"

Lynn lowered her eyes upon hearing this, squinting at Luke:

"Dude, I understand you're upset because the mission failed, that's why you're so agitated, but if you keep making a fuss about it, that's not a good idea, is it?"

"This is fraud!!"

Luke blushed, stiffened his neck, and pointed at Lynn's chest, saying:

"I'm going to report you!"

"You have tarnished the profession of adventurer!!"

Huh? To tarnish the profession of adventurer? Me? Lynn paused, not quite grasping Luke's logic.

At this moment, Luke spoke directly to the saleswoman at the counter.

"I'm reporting these two people by my real name for posting fraudulent missions and exaggerating the rewards!!"

"This..." The saleswoman panicked immediately. She had just confirmed that the mission was completed, but Luke's explosion had dragged her inside as well.

At this moment, Luke went to the counter, took a picture, and said:

"Miss clerk, I told you I'm making a report under my real name, why aren't you processing it?"

"I need to inform my supervisor."

The clerk hurriedly prepared to press the emergency notification button under the table, but before she could press it, she spotted Mira walking in from the exit on the side of the counter.

Upon seeing Mira, the saleswoman immediately showed a relieved expression and pointed to Luke and Lynn:

"Supervisor, this adventurer wants to report this fake hair-printing mission."

"Ok, I know."

Mira nodded slightly, then looked at Luke across the counter:

"You want to report him for fabricating the wig mission?"

“Yes!” Luke nodded.

"Is it mission number 1608?"

"That's right!!"

Luke turned his head and looked at Lynn with a look of pity in his eyes.

He could almost see Lynn being punished by the guild.

However, after hearing Luke's two confirmations, Mira simply nodded, then calmly said:

"Okay, I understand. The mission is fine. You can go back now."

"Huh?" Luke was stunned.

Before Luke could react, Mira glanced at Lynn and said irritably:

"Don't play such boring games next time. Just cancel the mission and save yourself the trouble of paying the service fee."

"...Okay, I'll be more careful next time."

Lynn scratched his head. How could he have known that trying to collect Jeken's inheritance would lead to encountering a hothead like Luke!

At this moment, Luke looked at Mira, then at Lynn, and suddenly realized:

"I see, so you're all in cahoots!"

In an instant, Luke was furious:

"This is a blatant cover-up!"

"The guild and adventurers have teamed up to scam us newbies!!"

"This is not fair!"

As Luke spoke, he raised his hand, slammed the rag in his hand to the ground, and roared:

"I'm going to complain to the city lord's mansion!!"

Just then, a girl with short, pink hair peeked out from beside Lynn and asked curiously:

"Hmm, who's going to sue my family?"

Luke was stunned for a moment, looking at the suddenly appearing Sia with disbelief, as if he recognized her.

At this moment, Sia glanced at Lynn, then at Ramie beside him, and gave him a teasing smile:

"Oh my, isn't this little Lynn? Did he bring his girlfriend to visit Mira?"

Luke fell silent upon hearing this.

He suddenly felt that the sky in Mona City was a little too dark!

How can it be so dark in broad daylight that you can't see your hand in front of your face?

Chapter 35 Lynn: I'm still too kind!

"Lord Shia."

Hearing her girlfriend's comments, Ramy glared at Sia with some annoyance:

"Please don't say things that could be misunderstood."

"This identity can only be used with the consent of Lynn and Grandmother."

"Huh? That old woman hasn't agreed yet? I thought she had agreed, which is why she let you bring Lynn over."

Sia looked at Ramie in surprise, tilting her head and asking in confusion:

"That's strange. Given her personality, didn't she secretly observe Lynn when we were on Purple Flower Road? I clearly sensed her gaze."

Lynn was taken aback when she heard this.

What's the meaning?

So, when he was flirting with Ramie and deliberately undressing in front of the snow sprite, Ramie's grandmother was actually watching?

Damn, you're peeping at my body, aren't you?

At least give me some money!

Isn't this just getting something for nothing?

"Grandma was watching?" Ramie asked, looking completely bewildered. "How could she? Isn't Grandma the kind of person who hates peeping at others?"

At this moment, Mira suddenly let out a cold laugh:

"She hates being spied on, not that she hates being a spied person herself."

It seems that Mira is quite familiar with Ramy's grandmother.

At least Lynn felt that the relationship between the two seemed to be 'not bad'?

However, while Lynn thought Mira and Ramy's grandmother had a good relationship, Luke looked at the four people in front of him as if they were no one else, his expression as stiff as a piece of fat pork that had been frozen for three days.

The way these people are behaving so intimately—they're clearly family, aren't they?

Will I be able to get home safely?

At this point, Luke was starting to worry about whether Lynn would retaliate against him.

If the head of the Adventure Guild and the woman of the Lord of Mona City were to trip him up together, he would probably have to sleep with one eye open even in the middle of the night.

Otherwise, he would probably have been stabbed six times the next day and be ruled a suicide, right?
