My front door leads to a comic strip

Chapter 129, 128: The Alecto Familia, Alicia is being targeted!

Guild headquarters, Pantheon.

Inside the magnificent marble hall, people came and went, yet it was unusually quiet, with only hushed conversations and the rustling of papers turning.

A staff member was engrossed in organizing a thick stack of wanted posters when suddenly the light in front of him dimmed.

He looked up, and the sight that came into view startled him, then his eyes widened in shock.

It is the body of Alfie, the "Evil Wolf".

"!!"

The staff members' shocked gazes swept back and forth between the two people in front of them.

On one side is the familiar "Red Flower," Alexie Rofer, the leader of the Astrea Familia, who still wears that lively smile on her face.

On the other side was a black-haired youth whom I had never seen before. His expression was calm, and his eyes were as deep as an unfathomable pool of water.

For a moment, he couldn't tell who had defeated the evil wolf.

He instinctively looked at Alexandra, who was walking in with her back to him.

"It wasn't me."

Alexandra denied it readily, then casually pulled a tissue from the box in front of her to wipe her hands, before pointing to Gu Yuan beside her:

"He killed Alfie the Wolf. I remember the bounty was thirty million Faris?"

"No, that's right, thirty million."

The staff nodded hurriedly, unable to resist looking at Gu Yuan with curiosity:

"This gentleman looks unfamiliar, Miss Alexandra. Could he be yours?"

His tone carried a hint of inquiry, as if he wanted to find clues about the relationship between the two, since he had never seen a man by the girl's side before.

"Stop, don't talk nonsense."

Alexandra interrupted him, hands on her hips, "I'm only temporarily acting as his guide at the behest of the goddess."

"Hurry up and verify their identities to get the money. There are other residents in other places waiting for our righteous allies to come and save them."

"I didn't say anything—" the staff member muttered quietly.

However, professional conduct ultimately suppressed the gossip.

He took a deep breath, stepped away from the counter, and crouched down to carefully examine Alfie's facial features and the wounds on his body.

After confirming that it was not someone in disguise and there were no signs of disguise, he beckoned two guards to take the body to the morgue for final confirmation.

He stood up, a hint of embarrassment on his face: "Um, Miss Alexandra, the payment of the bounty may take a little while."

"As you know, the number of dark faction members with bounties on their heads in the city has surged recently, putting the guild's cash flow under strain. Allocating this money requires going through the proper procedures."

"It will take at least two days to deliver it to this gentleman."

After giving his explanation, he looked at Gu Yuan again, with a professional curiosity:

"Um—could you briefly describe the battle? We need to record it for archiving."

Upon hearing this, a faint hint of hesitation crossed Gu Yuan's face. He thought back for a moment and realized that the process was so simple as to be unremarkable—grab the neck, crush it, and that was it.

The staff member froze, their professional smile instantly turning stiff: "You...you must be joking—"

He subconsciously touched his neck, a chill creeping up his spine.

What is this? Crushing a Lv.3 with bare hands? How is that possible?

He re-examined Gu Yuanyi's background. Who exactly was this person? Why had he never heard of him before?

Alexie stepped forward at the opportune moment, skillfully changing the subject, "Oh, right, there's one more thing. Help him register his identity; I need to use our clan's B-level security clearance."

"Huh?" The staff member was startled again. B-level security clearance?

That's already a very high level, why would they need to use this?

Despite being shocked and confused, he immediately complied, knowing it was his duty.

He returned to the counter, took out a piece of paper made of a special material, and gestured for Gu Yuan to follow him to a private room to fill it out.

While Gu Yuan and Alyssie were completing the formalities within the guild.

Deep in the slums of Orario, in the basement of an abandoned building.

The air was thick with the mingled scents of blood and sweet aromas—this was the hideout of the Alecto clan.

A subordinate was kneeling on the ground, trembling, reporting that "Evil Wolf" Alfie had been killed.

Upon hearing this news, the fact that Guild Leader Dina was torturing an adventurer suddenly became clear.

She is a fair-skinned, blonde elf with pigtails and a small white flower in her hair. She is about 1.5 meters tall.

She appears utterly innocent, yet her hands are moving...

"Ahhh—" Slightly distracted by the news, she casually used pliers to grab a fingernail of the male adventurer at her feet and pulled it out sharply.

"Aaaaaah!" A piercing scream echoed in the basement, and blood spurted out instantly, splattering onto her fair instep.

Hey.

She casually tossed aside the pliers, picked up a clean white silk handkerchief, and slowly wiped her hands, her tone sweet yet chilling:

"Is he dead? What a disobedient dog—I warned him repeatedly not to go near the territory of the Goddess of Justice."

"A disobedient dog is a bad dog, but what can I do? I've had him for a while. Vina, what do you think—should we get revenge for him?"

She tilted her head and looked into the shadowy corner.

"It's entirely up to you, elder sister."

A sweet voice rang out, and an elf named Vina slowly emerged.

She bore a striking resemblance to Dina, but with long, silver-white hair and dark skin, like an exotic dancer. Both wore pigtails adorned with a small, eerie, bright red flower.

In her hand, she was casually playing with a finger that had just been detached, a faint smile on her lips, as if admiring a beautiful work of art.

The twin elves were well over seventy years old.

Their long lifespans led them to abandon simple killing and instead pursue more extreme and twisted forms of entertainment.

Dina looked at her kneeling subordinate on the ground, her voice sweet yet chilling:

"Hey, who killed the dog? Was it someone from the 'righteous faction'?"

The subordinate lowered his head even further, fully aware of the terror hidden beneath the beautiful exteriors of the two women before him.

He forced himself to remain calm and answered in the most respectful and steady tone possible:

"Reporting to the commander, the scene has been cleaned up very thoroughly, and no traces left by the murderer have been found."

"However, according to nearby informants, the leader of the Astrea Familia, Alexandra Rofer, was in the vicinity of the crime scene around that time."

"Alicie Rofer?" Dina repeated the name, a glint of interest in her eyes. "Oh~ that's the always energetic, sun-like 'Red Flower'."

"interesting."

She turned to her sister, her smile becoming expectant. "Vina, what do you say? We'll capture her, and slowly, carefully train her—turning her into our own new puppy, what do you think?"

Despite the lack of direct evidence, Dina didn't care at all.

All she needed was an excuse to take action against the righteous forces.

The evil god behind the scenes is about to launch a full-scale attack on Orario, and weakening the forces of the good guys and demoralizing them is part of the plan beforehand.

Vina looked up, and a childlike, joyful smile, like that of someone who had just received a new toy, bloomed on her face, which was both innocent and eerie like that of a dark elf.

"To tame humans, who represent 'justice' and 'light,' into dogs that wag their tails and beg for mercy at our feet?"

"Oh, dear sister, that's truly a—absolutely wonderful idea!"

She tossed her fingers out, clapped her hands, her gesture almost coquettish, and asked expectantly, "I can't wait! When do we start?"

Playing with ordinary adventurers has become boring; only by dragging the brightest light into the deepest darkness can a completely new thrill be brought.

Dina smiled with satisfaction and waved for her subordinates to leave.

She extended her freshly wiped fingers and tapped her sister's forehead:

"Be patient, my dear Vina."

"Recently, the evil god will disguise himself and personally enter Orario to take charge. That will be our chance." She closed her eyes with pleasure, her body trembling. "Ah~ Just imagining that scene makes me so excited I'm about to get hyped!"

He grabbed his sister's hand tightly, opened his eyes wide, and looked dissatisfied.

"Vina—."
