"Yan, tell me about today's events properly tonight."

Leaving those words behind, Leng got up and prepared to get away from this eyesore of adulterous lovers.

But after taking only two steps, she noticed something was wrong with her body.

The damp feeling made Leng blush for no reason, and she turned and walked towards her room with her head down.

Although she tried to hide it well, Yan still saw through her mistake at a glance.

A hint of mockery flashed in her eyes, and she thought to herself:

Don't blame me, it's cold, but this is all for the future of the angels.

After Leng left, Lucy, who was left behind, felt very awkward.

She wanted to do what Sister Leng did: find an excuse to run away first.

But before she could speak, Beetz stopped her.

"Don't listen to Yan's nonsense. My relationship with you is just that of a basic member and the president."

It's getting late, let's head to the guild together and see if any new quests come up.

"Ah, oh, okay, Chairman."

Hearing Bits' words, Lucy, who should have breathed a sigh of relief, felt strangely empty inside.

Is this all there is to our relationship? I thought... I would be different in his heart...

Lucy, filled with anxiety and uncertainty, didn't even know how she ended up at the guild with the two of them.

All she knew was that by the time she came to her senses, she was already sitting down at the guild's bar.

Besides Bitz and Yan, Leng, who went straight back to her room and didn't know what to do, was also there, as well as a newcomer named Eve who had just joined the guild.

Eve, 25 years old, has long, dark purple curly hair, alluring peach blossom eyes, and full red lips, making her look both bewitching and seductive.

Her curvaceous and perfectly proportioned figure would leave even Lucy speechless.

But after a few days of getting to know this seemingly mature and sexy beauty, Lucy was shocked to discover that she was actually just a cowardly, timid, and crybaby.

For example, at this moment, Eve was tearfully clutching Bittz's sleeve, complaining pitifully:

"Guild leader, I've been bullied!! That bastard who posted a missing person request in the guild the day before yesterday deliberately withheld my commission after I completed the task."

He only paid me 5 when the commission was clearly 10J!

Waaah, what's even worse is that when I confronted him, he kicked me out and locked me out!

Looking at the silly older sister who seemed to have suffered a great injustice, with snot all over her face, Bitz looked disgusted and pulled her hand away forcefully, afraid that she would wipe her snot on her clothes.

"Idiot, that client is just an ordinary person. You are a mage, after all. If you stand up a little and ask for money, do you think he would dare to fight you?"

Even if we take a step back and assume you're no match for him, does that mean the council office across from our guild is just sitting around doing nothing?

"For guys like this who deliberately withhold commission fees, you should report them directly to the council. That's much more effective than humiliating yourself by crying and pleading with me."

Hearing the president's reprimand, Eve sniffled hard, then pouted and said aggrievedly:

"But, I'm afraid it will affect the guild's reputation."

"If our guild members can't even handle this small matter and have to ask the council for help, we'll be laughed at by other guilds."

"You know this is a small matter, right?"

Bits sighed wearily, staring at Eve, who looked down with a pitiful expression, for a long time before finally beckoning helplessly to the bartender on duty at the counter:

"Find someone to go to the client's house again."

If words don't work, then put some pressure on him directly, and don't let others think our guild is easy to mess with.

The bartender nodded in agreement and immediately assigned a waitress to set off.

To deal with ordinary people, you don't even need a mage; any peripheral staff member with a little magic power and one or two magical artifacts can handle it.

"Um, thank you, thank you so much, President~~~"

Eve thanked Bitz while crying and wiping away her tears.

Bits waved his hand dismissively, "Your ability to complete the task and receive the full commission will be the greatest gratitude you can give me."

"Alright, go wash your face. Look at yourself, you don't look like an adult at all."

"Hmm~"

Lucy watched Eve, who was crying, walk around the corner and disappear from sight before turning away with a complicated expression.

"Eve...she's had it so tough~"

Leng chuckled coldly, downed half a glass of wine, and continued:

"It's really not easy. It's a miracle that such a brainless coward and idiot has been able to live peacefully until now."

A few beads of cold sweat trickled down Lucy's forehead. She forced a smile and tried to calm the hot-tempered Leng Jie:

"Sister Leng, don't say that. We're all guild members. If Eve hears this, she'll be sad again."

"Humph."

With a cold snort, Leng turned his head and continued drinking in silence, without saying anything bad about Eve again.

Look at the chairman and Hiko on the left, chatting and laughing, and then look at Ryo on the right, drinking alone in silence.

Caught in the middle, Lucy felt a headache coming on. She had a feeling that something bad might happen if she stayed.

So she went to the quest board to see if there were any quests that interested her, and prepared to take one to escape this troublesome place.

"Hmm... I haven't checked for two days, and there are quite a few more tasks on the task board."

2.5 A young maid who was sweeping the house with a broom overheard this and replied with a smile:

"After all, our guild is quite well-known now."

Since the end of the routine meeting, our guild has gradually become known to more people.

Especially the news that Lucy defeated the Dark Guild Iron Forest Ace made headlines in various newspapers and magazines.

"Now everyone outside calls you Lucy, the number one new generation of mages in the magic world, a genius newcomer who can compete for the title of the Ten Wizard Saints!"

(Thanks a lot to readers Lelouch Britannia and Xiaxuan for their monthly ticket support!!!)

Thank you, boss! Wishing all bosses endless romance, continuous wealth, ever-present smiles, and all things going smoothly!!!

I humbly beg all my esteemed readers to give me more flowers and monthly tickets, and I desperately request that you urge me to update more frequently and provide rewards. I would be eternally grateful.

Chapter 237 A Generous Reward: Lucy Invites Eve!

"Hey, hahaha~ Am I that good? The strongest rookie is a bit of an exaggeration."

Lucy maintained a humble demeanor, as if she didn't care at all about the praise she received in newspapers and magazines.

But the corners of her mouth, which were even harder to suppress than AK's, still betrayed her true feelings.

Upon seeing this, the little maid smiled knowingly and took the initiative to explain and analyze the many tasks on the bulletin board.

"Lucy, do you have a favorite type of request?"

After thinking for a moment, Lucy tapped her chin with her finger, then naturally raised her finger and smiled:

"Of course, it's the kind of commission that's easy, doesn't take too much time, can ideally be completed on the same day, and has extremely high pay."

"Please, Lucy, the guild is a place to help you find a job, not to make wishes for you."

The little maid rolled her eyes and muttered a complaint.

However, he still pointed to commission number 28 in the upper right corner of the commission board and introduced it as follows:

"But you know what, there is actually a task that fits your requirements, Lucy."

It just requires you and Miss Eve to complete it together.

Lucy followed her finger to the request form and read its contents aloud.

"My wife recently contracted a strange and troublesome illness while out, and we need a skilled physician or a mage who knows healing magic to come to **** to treat her."

The commission is 150 million J!

When she read out the section on remuneration, Lucy's voice unconsciously became a few decibels louder.

It's rare to see such a high reward for a non-S-rank mission; just looking at the reward is enough to make Lucy's heart flutter.

The task was good, but she couldn't meet the requirements.

She was neither a doctor nor knew healing magic, so she could only watch helplessly as such a good task was offered to her.

The maid clearly saw Lucy's predicament and immediately explained with a smile:

"Sister Lucy, I'm not introducing this task to you to complete alone."

Instead, we want you to bring Miss Eve along so the two of you can complete this mission as a team.

"Eve?"

Lucy glanced instinctively at the corner where the crybaby had disappeared, and suddenly it dawned on her.

"I see, that explains why the quest was posted to our guild."

"You must have heard of the city's famous alchemist and pharmacist, and came here specifically to find him."

The maid smiled and nodded, confirming her guess.

Lucy still couldn't understand and asked:

"Since you came here specifically to find Eve, why don't you just go to her and let her do it? Why bring me along?"

The little maid blinked and looked at Lucy seriously, saying:

"Lucy, do you think Miss Eve, with her personality, is the type of person who could complete the mission alone and get all the rewards?"

Lucy: "That makes sense..."

Eve had just finished tidying up and came out of the guild's restroom.

When Lucy saw her, she quickly waved and called out:

"Eve, come here for a second."

Hearing someone call her name, Eve instinctively turned her head and saw that it was Lucy. She visibly shrank back, her expression showing a hint of fear.

What do you mean? Am I that scary?

Lucy muttered to herself, then quickly forced a gentle smile, hoping the other person would feel her goodwill.

Perhaps it was her smile that had the effect, or perhaps Eve simply didn't dare to disobey this rumored strongest newcomer.

Eve, with her mature and sophisticated face, carefully moved closer little by little.

When she was about 3 meters away from Lucy, she stopped, bowed very respectfully, and greeted her:

"Senior Lucy, you...you were looking for me?"

Hey, hey, hey, what's with this tone of a weak junior greeting a bullying senior?!

The president is watching, this could be misunderstood!

Out of the corner of her eye, Lucy caught a glimpse of the way Beetz and the others were looking at her from the bar area. A cold sweat immediately broke out on her forehead. She quickly rushed forward to help Eve up, scolding her as she said:

"What senior or not, Eve, you're older than me."

Besides, we're guildmates, so you can just call me Lucy or Little Lucy.

Lucy could feel Eve, whom she was holding, tremble slightly after she finished speaking chapter 270.

Then I heard a faint sound, barely audible.

"Okay, Lucy."

What a strange guy.

Lucy inwardly grumbled, but her smile remained unchanged as she led Eve to the request board and recounted the situation directly from the request form.

"...So, Eve, are you confident you can complete this task?"

After hearing the details of the request, Eve carefully considered the potions she had on hand, and hesitantly nodded with a lack of confidence.

"It should be okay, but we'll need to see the patient to conduct further examinations to determine the specifics."
