My front door leads to a comic strip

Chapter 134, Section 133: Alexie's Determination, the 300 Million Bounty

"Sigh~~"

A long sigh came from the second-floor platform.

The goddess Astraea stood by the railing.

Her eyes, which always held wisdom and gentleness, were now filled with an indescribable silence.

"Because of protection, the defense has increased."

"Because I want to become stronger, I can plunder the abilities of others—watering them with dark blood to cultivate the flower of justice."

"Such a skill would be extremely rare, even in the heroic era of the past."

"What kind of child have I found today?!"

Astraea could not foresee what future this decision would lead her kin.

But she knew all too well that those who fell into the evil god factions and took pleasure in torture and destruction truly deserved to die.

However, the justice upheld by her beloved child, Alexandra Rofer, was "to adjudicate the evils that are necessary."

This is fundamentally different from Gu Yuan's almost instinctive, efficient, and ruthless elimination methods.

The clash of these two ideas is bound to spark something new.

Silence spread, and the children's questions downstairs almost materialized. Astraea knew she had to make a decision.

She took a deep breath, suppressing her chaotic thoughts, and spoke in a gentle voice, trying to break the silence: "Calm down, Alexie."

All eyes were on the second floor.

The goddess slowly descended the steps. "It is precisely because this power is special and strong that I entrust it to you."

"Powerful forces often come with the risk of going out of control, which is why proper guidance and restraint are necessary."

Goddess Astraea turned her head, her gaze solemn. "Alissie Rofer, in the name of the supreme god, I expect you to fulfill your duties as captain."

"Closely monitor each of his rulings and clearly record the names and crimes of those he executes."

"This is not only to tally achievements, but also to ensure that his sword never deviates from the path of justice."

"Can you do it?"

Upon hearing this, Gu Yuan turned his head and glanced at him warily. After thinking for a moment, he did not refute it.

If it were him, he would also have basic wariness of such a being who "becomes stronger by killing".

Alexie snapped out of her reverie and instinctively replied, "Yes!"

However, her voice lacked its usual confidence, and there was even a slight, barely perceptible tremor at the end.

The other members of the group in the living room witnessed this scene, and their faces showed curiosity.

They knew Alexandra too well; for her to show that expression, the information recorded on that piece of paper must be extraordinary.

Unable to contain her curiosity, Kaguya took tiny, barely perceptible steps and crept up behind Alisha, trying to peek at the tightly clutched piece of paper.

However, her movements were still noticed.

Alexie suddenly hugged the paper to her chest, turned around and complained:

"Seriously! Kaguya! Didn't you hear what the goddess said? This is something only the captain can see!"

This is a secret of the clan, and it concerns Gu Yuan's safety. Even his closest comrades must not reveal a single word about it.

Kaguya was caught red-handed and muttered to herself, "Stingy."

But seeing the goddess's unquestionable gaze, she ultimately suppressed the urge to ask further questions and obediently took a few steps back.

Seeing this, the other group members exchanged glances and had no choice but to swallow their questions for the time being.

"Hoo Yi, Alyssa breathed a sigh of relief, straightened up, and tried to restore her usual cheerful tone as she turned to Gu Yuan and asked:

"Since it's the Goddess's order, I have no choice but to accept it. Mr. Gu Yuan, you shouldn't mind my record, right?"

She paused, then naturally looked towards the door. "Speaking of which, do you have a place to stay tonight? What time and where do we meet tomorrow?"

"My surname is Gu." I've wanted to complain for a long time. "Ah! I'm so sorry, Mr. Gu!" Alexie quickly apologized, her cheeks slightly flushed, looking a little embarrassed. "Do you have enough Fali? If not, I can lend you some. The bounty for defeating the dark faction will probably take another two days to be approved."

"No need to worry about that."

He had already booked a hotel before he arrived. As for the money, he could easily buy a property after he brought the gold over.

He took the note back from Alexie, crumpled it up casually, stuffed it into his pocket, as if it were nothing important, and then prepared to turn and leave.

Just a second before he was about to take a step, a voice said, "Please wait—"

Shakti Farma, who had been quietly observing from the sidelines, stood up.

"Speaking of bounties, I almost forgot about that." She took out a small leather notebook and quickly flipped through it. "Several of the dark faction members you eliminated today had high bounties on their hands. I've compiled a list and reported it to the guild."

She looked up and announced a staggering number:

"Preliminary calculations indicate that the total bounty is approximately 300 million fali."

"Three hundred million?!"

Several suppressed gasps suddenly filled the living room, as if all the air had been sucked out.

This figure even exceeds the income of many high-level adventurers over several months. Even if the entire Astrea Familia saved every penny for several months, they could barely save up this amount.

Gu Yuan, on the other hand, only took less than a day.

What terrifying and astonishing efficiency!

Shakti looked at Gu Yuan, his tone still businesslike:

"Whom should I give this money to after it's approved?"

Gu Yuan paused, about to take a step.

Without even thinking, he turned around, the answer clear and unambiguous:

"Leave it to me directly."

Meanwhile, in the Orario underground world, at the headquarters of the Alecto Familia.

"Crack!"

With a piercing cracking sound, the corner of the sturdy solid wood table was crushed to pieces by a well-maintained hand that contained terrifying power!

"completely annihilated?"

Dina uttered the word slowly and deliberately, the thin, yet frightening veins bulging on the back of her hand, her eyes filled with a twisted smile. "Dina is very unhappy. Why did they die, but you all came back alive? Hmm?"

The moment she finished speaking, the air in the entire room seemed to freeze, and a bone-chilling cold spread out.

"Commander! Please calm down!"

The group members kneeling on the ground were terrified, their voices trembling so badly they almost pressed their foreheads to the cold floor. "It's not that we're afraid! It's just that that guy is a monster! We can't fight him at all!"

"A black-haired man I've never seen before, incredibly strong! Lord Vic was instantly killed by him with a single, casual move! He didn't even put up a decent resistance!"

"In that situation, going up there would just be throwing our lives away!"

"So you just ran away? You didn't even know the details of your opponent? My lovely little Vic, and the others, just died like that, without any explanation?"

"Boom!"

The hard stone handrail beside her was unconsciously crushed to pieces, and stone dust flowed out from between her fingers.

Upon witnessing this scene, the team members were so terrified they nearly lost control of their bladders. They screamed in terror, attempting to exchange information for their lives.

"No, they didn't die in vain! I recognize them! It was someone from the Goddess of Justice's side who caused this trouble!"

"It must be a trap they set to lure us in! Commander! You must avenge Lord Vic and the others!"

"Revenge?" Dina repeated softly, as if she had heard some silly joke.

It's a pity when a toy breaks, but a broken toy is worthless.

The only thing she couldn't accept was that her toys were broken by someone else.

"Drag it down."

Dina's voice was devoid of any emotion, as if she were simply discarding a piece of trash.

"No! Commander! Spare us!! We'll never do it again!!" The members' pleas for mercy were shrill and desperate.

Dina didn't even glance at them; her patience had clearly run out. Her voice suddenly rose, filled with twisted irritation and murderous intent:

"Vina—I can't take it anymore! Those annoying, buzzing justice agents!"

As soon as the words were spoken, a petite figure emerged smiling from the darkest corner of the room.

Vina walked briskly to Dina's side and said with a smile:

"My dear sister, if you can't bear it any longer, then there's no need to bear it any longer."

"It's only been seven days since the evil god entered Orario, I think we can take action now."

"Yeah?"

Dina looked at her most capable younger sister, a sickly smile returning to her face, and nodded emphatically:

"Alright! Let's get started!"

"One week. I want to see 'Red Flower' and that black-haired monster kneel before me and become my most beautiful and obedient new toys within a week!"
