Zongman: The wrong person on the ground, double Shenwei at the beginning

"Rare materials and dropped items are both acceptable."

She paused for a moment, then added.

"If Goddess Ishtar finds it troublesome, Lord Rhodes also said that he can give it to you for free."

Ishtar's eyes lit up, she sat up straight, and couldn't help but smile.

"Oh?"

But Aisha quickly added, realizing that the goddess had misunderstood something.

"The condition is that you, Goddess, must have your proud battle prostitutes participate in the battle against the dark faction."

Ishtar hesitated, then decided against saying what she wanted to say.

She instantly lost interest, waved her hand dismissively, and picked up the pipe again.

"...Forget it, I don't want to do something so troublesome. I'll just use the dropped items to exchange for it."

Ishtar is not much different from Apollo in essence; she will steal from others as long as it is worth the price.

but....

Even she held a certain degree of respect for the goddess Astraea.

Moreover, although Hestia seemed easy to bully, she always had a bad feeling about her.

Moreover, although Rhodes possesses an anomaly that intrigues even the gods, there is a reason why no god has intervened so far.

All the gods clearly discerned Rhodes's character through his actions and conduct.

If they act rashly, their own clan might be mercilessly annihilated.

The Apollo clan incident undoubtedly proves this point.

However, not being able to get Rhodes still left Ishtar in a very bad mood.

Thinking of this, Ishtar turned her gaze to Aisha and the others, who were holding their own in the confrontation, and a charming smile returned to her face.

"I'm saying...you haven't officially formed a contract with Hestia yet, have you?"

"...That's true, we've only just passed the introductory trial."

"How about joining our clan? If Rhodes needs a lot of rare items and materials, I can set a price based on his requirements~"

Since she couldn't get Rod himself, she was quite tempted by these promising girls in front of her!

Just by looking at their performance, you can tell that they will definitely become excellent adventurers in the future!

Ishtar extended a sincere invitation.

"And you're Amazons too, right? I have your lovely fellow Amazons here, and you all get along very well!"

Upon hearing this, the four Amazons simultaneously frowned.

In the end, it was Aisha who spoke up.

"I'm sorry, Goddess, we have already decided to join the Hestia Familia."

Ishtar wasn't angry, just a little confused.

"Why...why did you join the familia of that virgin goddess?"

"Don't the Amazons' character suit my clan better?"

"Only here will the Amazons, who frankly pursue love, receive the greatest recognition and support. In my brothel, you will also enjoy the most sacred pleasures with men of different races."

As a goddess, Ishtar's values ​​are clearly very different from those of mortals.

Aisha was silent for a moment, then finally spoke with a smile.

“Although we haven’t experienced what you’re describing, we’ve had similar feelings and are quite averse to that kind of life.”

"Oh?"

"On my way to Orario, I worked for a period of time in a merchant guild to earn money for the journey. The men in the guild would visit the local brothels in every city they stopped in, and then come back and laugh and talk about it loudly."

Aisha spoke of her past with a faint smile.

"Later, I came to a realization from their conversation. The work of prostitutes is not fundamentally different from ours, who work hard in the Chamber of Commerce."

"They all use their bodies to exchange for money and enjoy fleeting pleasure."

"But the most important thing to do is not to strive to become the top courtesan, but to redeem yourself as soon as possible and then leave."

"However, in reality, many of them failed to redeem themselves, failed to become top courtesans, and ended up with a host of illnesses, while also being beaten and scolded by the madam."

"In a few years, the madam might even kick him out because he's too old."

"As a result, after all these years, I haven't accumulated much money, nor have I found love, and I ended up growing old alone."

The Amazonian girls around who heard these words were momentarily stunned, as if their values ​​had been shaken.

Even the high and mighty goddess Ishtar widened her eyes slightly, seemingly completely surprised that Aisha would utter such a statement.

Aisha smiled and bowed to the goddess.

"So, thank you for your kindness, Goddess. My companions and I have found our lifelong home from the very beginning, and we are striving to pursue that one and only love, with unwavering devotion."

Ilta felt a moment of panic.

Wait, don't include me in this!

I have no feelings for that guy... Anyway! I joined the Hestia Familia to help the weak!

And you two, you think the same way, right?

She turned to look at the two Amazon girls beside her, and was instantly dumbfounded.

The unwavering and sincere love that Lina and Samira felt for someone was almost overflowing in their eyes!

“…”

Ilta was momentarily stunned, and she instinctively covered her chest.

Could it be... that I'm the one with the problem?

Or is it that I actually like that guy too, but I just... haven't realized it?

For a moment, Ilta's mind was a complete mess, and she herself couldn't figure out her own true thoughts.

The goddess Ishtar leaned back in her ornate chair, took her pipe in her mouth again, and waved her hand dismissively.

"Alright, you guys hurry up and get your things from the warehouse, then leave immediately."

“I invited you with good intentions, but you have turned around and undermined the morale of my clan.”

Aisha and the three of them smiled and bowed their heads in farewell.

Just as she was about to step out the door, Aisha suddenly stopped and said calmly.

“I will not hide anything from our family’s leader. Therefore, I will tell him everything that happened here today.”

Ishtar was so angry she laughed.

"What? You think he'd attack me just because I invited you out like this?"

Aisha said calmly.

“I will not answer for him, but I think he would not care about an invitation of this magnitude from the goddess Ishtar.”

"But... your commander makes no attempt to hide his malice towards us, although I don't know where we offended him."

"As far as I know, our commander's habit is to nip all potential crises in the bud, and whenever a conflict occurs, he will definitely eliminate it completely."

"This is my response to and reminder of the goddess's kindness. Now that I have finished speaking, please allow me to take my leave."

In the main hall, Ishtar's retinue looked at each other in silence.

Although Rhodes has only been in the game for a short time, he has achieved remarkable results, wiping out two clans in a row.

Although the Soma Familia and Apollo Familia are not on the same level as them in terms of combat power, Rhode's strength should not be underestimated!

"....Goddess?"

Ishtar's face was somber.

"Even someone I once wanted, I won't allow to threaten me, but..."

Ishtar stared at the direction of the Tower of Babel with a distorted expression.

"...The only person I want to kill right now is her!"

She looked away, then suddenly laughed and licked her lips.

"Hmph, I'll settle the score with him for his offense when my plan succeeds."

"By the way, I'll savor all his secrets thoroughly."

"Now... let's give him 20% more than the original price and temporarily confine Frini."

Meanwhile, the Apollo Familia's encampment was quickly inventoried by Rose from the guild.

Following Rod's instructions, Jun Suzuki paid all the fees to the guild on the spot.

"Thank you for your help, Miss Rose. Please inform others when you get back that this will be one of the residences of our Hestia Familia from now on."

"As for the money used to buy this building, it will all be used to purchase food from the Demeter family to provide free relief to the people."

Rose gave a wry smile.

"Since you've said that, I think it's hard for others to have any objections."

The Hestia Familia's smooth and skillful maneuvering, in alliance with the Ishtar Familia, instantly won over the hearts of Orario's ordinary residents.

Furthermore, the victim, the chief god Apollo, has yet to appear for some reason, which means that even if someone wants to cause trouble in the future, they will have to think twice.

What's more, there were over sixty adventurers present who had been forced to join the Apollo Familia.

They are living witnesses who can prove Apollo's wrongdoing.

These guys who complained to the guild but received no response might riot if they found out the guild was going to punish the Hestia Familia who rescued them!

The guild itself is in the wrong in this matter, so it's unlikely that it will have any negative policies against the Hestia Familia.

Rose, who was involved in the whole affair, was cleverly tricked by Jun Suzuki into becoming a notary.

She personally witnessed many items that were found during the search and could be used as evidence, which further silenced the guild.

On the surface, the guild should even thank the Hestia Familia for maintaining order in Orario.

Rose's fluffy, bright red tail swayed weakly behind her.

"Eh... Ms. Suzuki, you've really put me in a terrible situation."

Rose's shoulders slumped, and her pretty face, which always carried a hint of mature elegance, now showed a rare look of sorrow.

"I might get yelled at by that troublesome boss when I get back."

"I might also be resented by other clans, who might think that I took bribes from them and cooperated with them to divide up the entire Apollo clan."

Jun Suzuki narrowed his eyes slightly, his gaze as cunning as a fox's.

"I heard... Miss Rose is a veteran member of the guild, isn't she?"

Rose's wolf ears twitched, and she stood with her hands on her hips, revealing a pair of small fangs.

The tight black and white uniform perfectly accentuated the figures of the female office workers.
