Magical Cat

"If it's not used correctly, it really is a potential magic bomb."

"As for the ways that can trigger an explosion, I'm not an expert in that area."

Melina shared her insights.

"Why should we believe you!" Kane said dismissively.

He still felt that the guild and Melina were in cahoots.

The guild wouldn't have gone to such lengths if what they found hadn't been valuable enough.

On the guild side, both Guild Leader Mad Axe and his secretary Linda couldn't help but show helpless expressions.

Kane has completely developed paranoia.

If the guild hadn't been afraid that this thing would cause trouble, they wouldn't have bothered with it and would have let the Red Wolf Squad do whatever they wanted with it; it wouldn't matter to them where it was blown up.

However, since the Red Wolf Squad are adventurers registered with the guild, the guild has an obligation to remind and protect them within its scope of responsibility.

Otherwise, the guild will still have to clean up the messes caused by the Red Wolf Squad in the future.

"The Red Wolf Squad, is that right?" Melina asked.

"That's right, what do you want? Don't think that just because you're a teacher at the academy, we'll be afraid of you," Kane retorted, sticking his neck out.

"It seems you're the captain of this squad."

"That's right!" Kane wanted to see what else Melina had to say.

"I used to be an adventurer, and I even reached the level of an elite adventurer," Melina said, taking out a jet-black card.

The card is matte black with a cool silver trim featuring delicate wing reliefs.

This card looks very similar to a student ID from the Royal Academy of Magic, but it is much more exquisitely made.

Upon seeing Melina pull out the card, the five members of the Red Wolf Squad on the opposite side all gasped in surprise.

They were a rookie adventure team; they had never seen the legendary elite adventurers before.

Adventurers of this caliber can only be found in big cities like Falling Star City; they are unheard of in smaller places.

Melina was clearly young, but she possessed the credentials of an elite adventurer, which caused Kane, who had been so quick to speak, to fall silent for a moment.

"We've all been through this, so I understand how you feel right now." Melina smiled slightly when she saw that the Red Wolf Squad was listening to her.

"I finally got my hands on this treasure, but it's been so long since I've gotten it. I'm afraid someone will snatch it away. I'm terrified that what's being stolen is my only chance to turn my life around."

Melina's words struck a nerve with everyone in the Red Wolf Squad.

Those who come to the Adventurers' Guild to make a living are all pretty much the same.

If there's a more comfortable way to live, why risk your life and do things that no one else is willing to do?

Admittedly, some people are born with a love for adventure, but most people are just doing it to survive.

If, in addition to surviving, one could also earn a chance to turn their life around, that would be the most perfect outcome.

So the Red Wolf Squad had finally struck it lucky and naturally wanted to seize the opportunity, but they encountered a complicated situation where the items were held by the guild, which made them even more anxious.

"Don't worry, the guild wouldn't care about your stuff. If it weren't dangerous, the guild wouldn't bother with you at all."

Before Kane could retort, Melina continued, "And taking this back before you're ready is more of a curse than a blessing."

After these words were spoken, the Red Wolf Squad fell silent.

After a moment, a simple-looking warrior from the Red Wolf Squad spoke up: "Miss Melina, we have no intention of taking that thing; we just want to sell it at the auction house as soon as possible. We also know our own limitations..."

Another man, who looked like a thief, chimed in, "Although we can't figure out what this is, we're sure the auction house appraisers have a better eye than us. We'll accept whatever price they sell it for there!"

Li En smiled slightly. It seemed that the Red Wolf Squad wasn't as foolish as they appeared; they had their own ideas.

However, the Adventurers' Guild has its own rules, and this item is meant to be distributed through the guild, so any problems that arise later will implicate the guild.

At this moment, Guild Leader Mad Axe also spoke up: "Follow the rules. If the quest issuer still can't be found by the deadline, this item belongs to you. How you handle it then is your Red Wolf Squad's business, and has nothing to do with the guild."

"I'm also giving you a task now: find the person who posted the task. If you find them, I'll double the original reward."

The members of the Red Wolf Squad exchanged glances, all of them feeling a surge of excitement.

They have now realized the situation is hopeless; it's no longer possible for them to seize the magical items they've found ahead of time.

Right now, the only option left is to patiently wait for the deadline.

However, the missing person quest proposed by Guild Leader Mad Axe was quite appealing.

They originally just wanted to do a lost item quest, and getting involved in this kind of thing was not what they expected.

Living in constant fear and anxiety is also a form of mental torture for them.

If we can find the person who posted the task, we can not only complete the previous task, but also receive double the reward.

The original mission rewards were already quite good for them.

If it's doubled, they'll make an even bigger profit, especially with the additional quest points, which are crucial for leveling up their adventurer rank.

Only when you reach a certain level can you accept better tasks and earn more rewards.

Guild Master Mad Axe was not in a hurry and waited quietly for the Red Wolf Squad's reply.

"Okay, but I hope the guild can really keep its promise." Kane accepted the mission on behalf of the team.

"A bunch of brats." Guild Master Mad Axe laughed and waved his hand, telling them to get lost.

Kane immediately led the Red Wolf squad away, but glanced at Elaine as he left, still seemingly unconvinced.

Once the living room quieted down, President Mad Axe put on a smiling face and apologized repeatedly to Elaine and Melina.

"I'm so sorry to have gotten you involved in this dispute. Little girl, did I scare you just now?"

Elaine shook her head to indicate that she was fine.

Melina and the others sat down again and began chatting.

"Melina, your student is quite impressive. She single-handedly took control of an entire adventure team," Garland exclaimed in surprise.

Melina gave a wry smile and glared at Li En.

Only she and Elaine knew the truth: those vines were all part of Li En's magic.

After praising Elaine, the topic returned to the previous matter.

Jialan said impatiently, "President, if you ask me, we should just give the stuff to the Red Wolf Squad as soon as possible and let them see if this kind of thing is really that easy to sell."

Jialan's tone was clearly sarcastic.

"That's not how it works. Since they're from the Adventurers' Guild, how can I just sit idly by? We were all greenhorns once, they'll understand in time."

The guild leader, Mad Axe, didn't seem to take the Red Wolf Squad's attitude to heart, and instead said with a smile.

Garland's earlier words were just said in anger; Kane's attitude was simply too terrible.

With the guild's strength, would it really be so difficult to outmaneuver a few newbies?

But the work of the guild is so complicated. They are dealing with a large number of ordinary adventurers at the grassroots level, and there are very few situations where they can reason with them.

"Working at the grassroots level is tough," Chairman Kuangfu sighed.

Linda, standing behind her, immediately retorted, "You're not the one who should be complaining like this."

The guild leader, Mad Axe, immediately gave an awkward laugh and said no more.
