Chapter 50

The sudden voice and the situation stunned everyone present.

Shien also raised his eyebrows. He turned his head and looked at the owner of the hand that had snatched the pouch.

It was a girl about the same age as Vivian. No one knew when she had appeared in the hall, but she had also appeared beside Vivian.

The man was dressed appropriately like a military uniform and wore a pair of glasses on his face. He exuded an aura of intelligence and ability.

"Lily?"

Vivian was stunned when she saw this person. Then, she called out her name.

It was Lily.

The surrounding Guild staff and adventurers stood up one after another.

"Guild Leader!" "Haha!"

Just like that, everyone saluted Lily.

Including Tierre, including Lumia, including Merica.

"President?"

Shien was surprised.

"You're Shien, right?" Lily looked at Shien. She narrowed her shrewd eyes behind her glasses and smiled. "Nice to meet you. I'm Lily Lazahad, the president of the Ramaegion Adventurers Guild. Please take care of me in the future."

This was the first time Shien had heard someone say their surname.

Moreover, she was the president of the Ramaegion Adventurers Guild.

"Why did you come down?"

Vivian asked in surprise and delight. From her attitude, it was obvious that she was familiar with her.

That was the truth.

"I heard that you guys were back. I just finished my work, so I came down to take a look." Lily's gaze swept across Vivian's team and the large backpack on the counter. She smiled. "It seems that your trip was quite smooth."

"Hmm, it went quite smoothly. There were basically no accidents." Vivian nodded. She was amused. "Why? Are you worried? "

"Do I look like such a cold-blooded person to you?" Lily rolled her eyes. "Since I'm the one who gave the extra work to your team, wouldn't it seem like I'm trying to shirk responsibility if I don't show some concern?"

"I didn't say it to that extent." Vivian's expression turned from one of amusement to one of laughter.

The conversation between the two of them seemed so natural and familiar, telling others exactly what their relationship was like.

The surrounding adventurers and guild staff were also not surprised. It was obvious that they already knew about this.

"What's going on?"

Sean shuffled back to Tierre's side as if he was avoiding her. He lowered his voice and asked in a low voice, "What's wrong with you?

"As you can see, Vivian and President Lily have known each other for a long time," Tierre said calmly. "Before Vivian became an adventurer and before Lily became the leader of the Adventurer's Guild, the two of them already knew each other. They've known each other for at least ten years. Vivian chose to become an adventurer in Lamegion because Lily was transferred here." Dieyer was unmoved by Vivian's words. "I heard that Vivian chose to become an adventurer in Lamegion because Lily was transferred here."

In other words, the two of them grew up together?

"The person who arranged for you to join our team is actually President Lily. Like Vivian, she's famous for taking care of newcomers. Speaking of which, you have to thank her. Otherwise, given your situation, you might have become the target of bullying in the Adventurers Guild."

Tierre glanced at Shien.

"Also, I believe you've noticed that President Lily's identity isn't ordinary. Not only is she the president of the Adventurers Guild in Ramaegion, but she's also the only daughter of a famous noble. Even the lord of this territory can't be rude in front of her. You have to be careful too."

It was no wonder the surrounding adventurers were so well-behaved and courteous when Lily appeared.

"A great noble?"

Shien muttered softly.

It seemed that in this world, only nobles would have surnames.

While Shien was thinking about these things, Vivian had already started to question Lily.

"By the way, why did you snatch away Shien's share of the reward?" Vivian said unhappily. "That's very rude, isn't it?"

"Indeed." Lily did not deny it. She admitted it openly while changing the topic of conversation. She looked at Sean and said with a profound meaning, "What do you think? A newcomer? "

The smart and capable president tossed the topic to Shien.

Shien didn't waver.

This was because Sean had already realized why the man was doing this.

"I think the President's words make sense." Shien said calmly. "As a newcomer adventurer, it's not good to take so much reward."

As a newbie who had just joined the party and was only level 10, not to mention that he hadn't even learned a single skill, the fact that such a person had joined Vivian's party had already caused all sorts of controversy. If he were to receive the same remuneration as the older members of the party and split it equally with them, wouldn't that be unacceptable?

At least, in the eyes of others, Shien was just following Vivian's party. With his level, he definitely wouldn't be able to complete a Silver or even Gold commission.

If Shien were to accept the reward, he would probably be criticized by the entire Adventurers Guild at this time tomorrow.

Not only would it be bad for Shien, but it would also affect Vivian's party.

(This president is here because of this, right?)

Since she was Vivian's childhood friend and had been with her for more than 10 years, Lily definitely understood Vivian's character and style very well. She knew that Vivian wouldn't mistreat Shien, which was why she came to stop him.

In other words, Lily was here to help Shien and Vivian avoid the possibility of being criticized.

"I didn't help much with this commission. It was everyone who did the hard work. I just watched from the side." Shien said self-consciously. "I'll thicken my skin and take a gold coin as the reward this time."

This was understandable.

After all, Merica was the one who used magic to get rid of the vines, and she was the one who collected the spring water. Even dealing with the monsters and dismembering the materials were done by Tierre and Lucia. From start to finish, Shien had only fought a Gorm, and this had nothing to do with the commission. It was inappropriate to take too much reward.

If not for the fact that Vivian wouldn't be able to accept it, Shien wouldn't even want to take the reward.

After all, Shien still had his pride as a man. He was already being taken care of by Vivian, so he couldn't be so boorish in other aspects.

He hadn't thought of it before, but now that Lily had reminded him, Shien naturally wouldn't accept the reward.

"But …"

Vivian's brows furrowed as if she couldn't accept this.

"Alright, since he's already said so, don't be too stubborn." Lily patted Vivian's shoulder and said, "Gentleness should be used in different situations. Not being able to distinguish between work and personal interests is one of your few weaknesses. This isn't the first time you've taken in a newcomer. You should've realized this and reflect on yourself."

As she spoke, Lily took out a gold coin from the purse she had snatched and walked over to Shien.

"You have a bright future. I have high hopes for you."

Lily stretched out her hand and lifted Shien's. She placed the gold coin in Shien's hand and smiled at him in appreciation.

"You flatter me."

Shien returned a smile. Looking at this generous and meticulous beautiful president, he sighed in admiration.

What an interesting woman.
