Chapter 90

The atmosphere of the entire square became somewhat heavy at this moment.

The surrounding knights and adventurers all looked over at Vivian and the others, who were in a solemn mood, their faces filled with astonishment.

Shien was also thinking about the problem. For a moment, he didn't say anything.

And the person who broke the dull atmosphere was Leon.

"No matter what, we have to carry out this secret mission together. As a member of the Lamegion Adventurers Guild, we have to do a good job on this mission, even if it's for Lamegion. Please give me some advice."

Leon reached out his hand to Vivian.

"…"

Seeing this, everyone became speechless. Even Vivian looked at the hand that was extended towards her, and her face was filled with hesitation.

After a while, Vivian sighed and prepared to shake Leon's hand.

But at this time, someone stopped her.

"There's a difference between men and women. Let me do it for you, Captain Leon."

The seductive woman who had been staring at Lyon with an infatuated expression suddenly stepped forward and grabbed Vivian's outstretched hand. She glared at Vivian with hostility in her eyes.

"Eudillis …"

Vivian called out her name in a low voice.

"It's me. We haven't seen each other for a long time, Vivian."

The coquettish woman called Eudillis had a smile on her face, but there was no smile in her eyes.

Leon, whose handshake was snatched away by Eudilis, frowned and immediately let go of her hand without a trace, putting down his outstretched hand.

Vivian and Eudillis, who didn't notice this, started a conversation.

"I didn't expect you to come."

Vivian fixed her gaze on Eudillis's face.

"Since Captain is here, I will naturally come as well."

Eudillis said with a matter-of-fact expression.

"Is that so?" Vivian seemed to sigh again, but then she showed her signature gentle smile and said, "It's still the same. No matter where Leon appears, you will be there."

"That's a compliment to me." Eudillis smiled and said, "I didn't want to come, but I knew you would."

The meaning behind his words was quite clear.

What Eudilis was trying to say was that Vivian was here, and that was why she had appeared.

"So?" Vivian turned to look at Leon and asked, "Did you come here because of Lily's request?"

This was the first thing Vivian wanted to know.

Vivian knew that Lily knew about the conflict between her team and Leon's team. Since she asked Vivian to carry out this request, it was impossible for her to ask Leon's team.

Arliss also knew about the conflict between Vivian's team and Leon's team. That was why she was so surprised that Leon's team would appear here.

Although there was no enmity between Vivian's team and Leon's team, there was indeed a conflict between the two teams. If it were someone else, they wouldn't care. but Lily was Vivian 'team. She was Vivian's childhood friend. She would never ask Leon's team to come here knowing about this.

This was the truth.

"Originally, President Lily had entrusted the task to another team." Leon didn't hide it. He smiled and said, "However, that team had some problems, so we came here on their behalf. President Lily should have received the news soon, right?"

His words didn't ease the atmosphere. Instead, it made it more and more dangerous.

"In other words, you acted first and reported later?" "If I remember correctly, the secret mission this time isn't allowed to be disclosed, right?" Arlis said nonchalantly.

In other words, the person who received the request couldn't reveal the inside information to others.

So, where did Leon and the others get such secret information and execute this plan of killing first and reporting later?

The answer was quickly revealed.

"Of course, this is the information I received."

Margray, who had been staring at Merica, finally retracted his gaze and said proudly.

"To others, this mission is naturally extremely secretive, but my father is one of the decision-makers. As his son, is it strange for me to know about this?"

Hearing this, Arliss was speechless.

Not to mention Arliss, even Shien, who was watching the situation from the side, was speechless.

This guy called Margray's identity wasn't simple. His father seemed to be one of the decision-makers of Lamigion, so it wasn't surprising that he knew about this secret mission.

However, as one of the decision-makers of the town, he actually told such an important mission to his own son, and even allowed his own son to spread the news. This kind of behavior really made people wonder if there was something wrong with his head.

Surely, Lily, who had received this news, would be hopping mad in the guild.

And these uninvited fellows seemed to want to use their status to forcefully interfere with this mission. No wonder Arliss was speechless.

(He even said something about how their team was so outstanding that it was impossible for them not to be chosen. That was clearly incoherent.)

Shien more or less understood the reason why Leon's team wasn't welcomed.

Vivian took a deep breath and said, "I think I'll have to wait for President Lily's decision before I can cooperate with all of you."

It was obvious that Vivian was waiting for Lily to come and stop Leon's team.

However …

"There's no need for that."

When such a voice rang out, everyone was startled.

That was because the voice did not come from any one of the people present. Instead, it came from a young man who was surrounded by many knights. Although he looked young, he was fully armed and dignified, and his face was filled with solemnity.

Seeing this young man, everyone immediately straightened their backs.

"Lord Baylon!"

Everyone present, including the domineering Margray, bowed to the other party, and told the clueless Sean who the other party was.

The person who came was the son of Marquis Murau, the leader of the knights, and the highest decision-maker of Lamigion, Baylon Murau.

"Leon's team's interference was approved by me." Baylon looked around at everyone and said calmly, "I know there's a gap between you all, but you are all outstanding talents. I hope to use the best in Lamigion for this mission. Please look at the bigger picture. I believe President Lily will understand."

"… I understand." Vivian was silent for a long time. Then she said expressionlessly, "Since Lord Baylon has said so, we will do our best."

"Yes," Leon said respectfully, "In the face of the bigger picture, we can't afford to have a personal fight."

"It's good that you all understand." Baylon's stern face relaxed a little. "Let's not delay any further. Prepare to depart now."

Everyone immediately bowed their heads in acknowledgment.

Sean stood aside as if it had nothing to do with him. He witnessed the whole process and cursed in his heart.

Although he didn't know what exactly happened, there was one thing he was sure of.

This journey was going to be much more troublesome than he had imagined.
