My front door leads to a comic strip

Chapter 151, page 150: The Invitation of the Ganesha Familia; Ota: I am not as good as him.

"Well then, I'll take my leave now."

Ryu Lyon's figure disappeared in front of the magnificent gate of the guild headquarters.

An urgent document concerning the god "Eron" and the potential threat he may pose has been formally submitted in the name of the Astrea Familia.

The air was filled with the scent of an impending mountain rain.

She walked briskly, preparing to return to the base as soon as possible to report the situation.

She hadn't gone far when a familiar voice called out to her.

"Rion!"

Turning around, I saw Shakti Farma, the leader of the Ganesha Familia, known as "The Staff of Ganesha".

Beside her was a girl with fair skin and short silver-gray hair, her younger sister, Adi Falma.

Shakti, his face clearly showing apology, quickly stepped forward:

"The guild has issued an emergency notice! We are very sorry! Our people are completely tied down by the simultaneous riots in multiple parts of the city and were unable to provide timely support to Mr. Gu Yuan and Alexie—..."

She paused, her expression growing even more grave: "I heard that Alexandra was seriously injured? This is truly a grave dereliction of duty on the part of our military police!"

Liu stopped and gently shook her head. Her voice was as cool as ever, but without any hint of blame.

"No need to apologize, Shakti. Even if you had been there, the situation probably wouldn't have changed much."

She looked in the direction of the maze street:

"The opponents are Simon, the remnant leader of the 'Apat Familia,' who has reached level 6, and Alphia of 'Silence.'"

"Alphia?! Wasn't she already—" Shakti's pupils shrank upon hearing this, and even Adi next to him gasped.

The significance of this name is enough to shake the entire upper echelons of Orario.

That's the truth.

Ryu's affirmation weighed heavily on Shakti's mind: "Faced with such a monster, the advantage of numbers is of little use."

"It's already a miracle that Mr. Gu was able to defeat Simon and rescue Alexandra and Iska."

Shakti remained silent for a moment, clearly shocked by the news.

But she quickly recovered and insisted, "No, an apology and compensation are necessary! Please give us a chance to express our remorse!"

She looked at Liu, her tone sincere: "Let me treat you to a meal, at 'The Abundant Hostess' in the West District."

"The city is not safe right now, but that place is relatively safe, with guaranteed food and security."

Liu frowned slightly; she wasn't used to this kind of social interaction: "This requires consulting with Gu Yuan and the Goddess..."

"Well, my sister wanted to formally apologize to the Astrea Familia, and also to celebrate Mr. Kogen's victory over the powerful enemy—"

Ahu Falma hesitated before adding softly, her gaze towards Ryu filled with the same affection as always, yet still somewhat timid, "Rion, you must come too, we—we haven't seen each other in so long."

"——"

Faced with Shakti's unwavering insistence and Adina's pleading, expectant gaze, Ryu's icy expression softened slightly.

She hesitated for a moment, then finally nodded:

"—I understand. I will go back and convey the message truthfully. Whether or not to keep the appointment depends on Gu Yuan and the others' wishes and Alexie's recovery progress."

"Great!" Shakti breathed a sigh of relief, a smile spreading across his face. "Then, we'll tentatively schedule it for tomorrow night! Looking forward to your reply!"

After bidding farewell to her sisters from the Ganesha Familia, Ryu quickened her pace once more, her figure moving like the wind towards the Star Garden.

Unbeknownst to her, at almost the same time, another powerful force was also shaken by the events in the Labyrinth Street.

The Tower of Babel, top floor.

Inside the luxurious palace, the air was filled with an intoxicating sweet fragrance.

The goddess Freya leaned lazily against the magnificent couch, listening to the report from Ota, the leader of the kinship.

When she heard that "Gu Yuan killed Lv6 adventurer Simon alone," her beautiful eyes gleamed with even greater interest.

"Oh my, oh my—what an amazing child!"

She chuckled softly, her voice as intoxicating as the finest wine, "Not only did I escape from that Alphia, but I also killed a Lv6."

"Ota, my loyal knight, tell me, if you had been there, what were your chances of victory against him?"

The pig-man warrior, clad in heavy armor, remained silent for a moment, his broad back still ramrod straight, but unusually, he did not immediately offer an answer.

His rugged face remained expressionless before he finally spoke in a deep voice, "Unable to assess, Your Majesty."

He added, "Killing a Lv6 might be understood as possessing special skills or magic, but to take two people away from Alphia—that's something I can't do."

This candor from Orario's ultimate weapon slightly surprised the other officers in the room.

Ota's power is absolute; his acknowledgment alone is enough to elevate Gu Yuan's threat and potential to an unbelievable level.

Freya's smile became even more alluring, and her eyes seemed to shimmer with silver stars.

"I really want it more and more. What terrifying possibilities does that radiance of the soul hold?"

As early as when Gu Yuan first showed his talent, she had the idea of ​​bringing him under her wing.

However, there is a one-year cooling-off period for changing your family, so it cannot be forced.

At that moment, a member of the Ganesha Familia quietly entered and whispered that the Ganesha Familia had invited the Astrea Familia to a dinner party at the "Hostes of Abundance" the following evening.

Freya's smile deepened.

"What a fateful arrangement—"

She ran her slender fingers lightly across her lips. "Get ready, I'm going to check out that tavern tomorrow night too."

"This is a rare opportunity, and we must leave that child with a deep and unforgettable impression."

The "impression" she refers to is naturally her divine allure, which is enough to captivate all beings and make them willingly become her captives.

Inside the Star Garden, Liu Gang had just returned and stopped at the door.

In the courtyard, Lilyluka, a dwarf, was being teased by Lyra, a shy and fragile smile blooming on her face.

That smile was like a tiny flower struggling to peek out from a crack in the gloom, small yet full of vitality.

Liu watched this scene quietly, a hint of gentleness flashing in her icy blue eyes.

In an instant, she seemed to see herself from many years ago, the lonely self who had been redeemed by the warmth of the goddess and her companions.

"It was he who brought back that tiny glimmer of light."

As Liu silently reflected, her hidden concern, goodwill, and respect for Gu Yuan deepened even further.

"Liang?" Leila noticed her standing by the door.

"Where are the gods and ancient origins?" Liu asked, regaining his composure and reverting to his calm, aloof demeanor.

Lyra pointed to the second floor of the white mansion and lowered her voice: "They're updating their stats in the goddess's room. They've been in there for a while and haven't come out yet."

Upon hearing this, Liu understood and felt a strong sense of anticipation rising within him.

Having experienced a fierce battle with Lv6 and faced the oppression of Alphia.

Just how strong will he become this time?

Liu walked into the living room, sat down quietly, and her gaze involuntarily drifted to the closed door on the second floor.

The warmth that arose in my heart from Lily's smile intertwined with my anticipation for Gu Yuan's growth, ultimately transforming into an unwavering belief.

Tighten your five fingers.

Justice will eventually shine like a sharp sword, piercing through the gloom and illuminating this labyrinthine city once more.

Meanwhile, somewhere in the city, Erebus, whose identity had been exposed by Gu Yuan and who was now officially wanted by the guild, had just learned of this news.

For the first time, a look of shock beyond his control appeared on his face, which always seemed to be in complete control and always held a playful smile.

"Wanted—me?"

He muttered to himself, his eyes filled with disbelief and a rapidly churning mix of emotions.
