Chapter 92

"Huh?"

At that moment, Shien almost thought that he had heard wrongly.

What did he just hear?

"Rely … rely on women to get ahead?"

Shien did not understand what Vivian meant at all.

Seeing this, not only Vivian, but even Tierre, Lumia, and Merica's expressions became a little strange.

"I know you're surprised, but it's the truth."

Vivian explained with a bitter smile.

"Unlike Young Master Margret, Leon was not born into a noble family. He wasn't even a commoner. He was born in the slums."

According to Vivian, both of Leon's parents were thieves who had been arrested and imprisoned many times. Leon himself wasn't particularly talented. He was already 25 years old, but he was still only at level 22. Compared to adventurers of the same age, he was far from being able to match up to them.

Since young, Leon had believed that he would never be able to get ahead with his own abilities.

However, Leon was ambitious. Not only did he want to get ahead, but he also wanted to be above the rest and even become a noble.

To achieve this, Leon made full use of the only advantage he had since birth.

That was — face.

"Although it's just hearsay, I heard that since young, Leon has been trying to improve his image. Not only did he use all kinds of methods to maintain his appearance, but he also worked hard to practice etiquette and social skills. He also tried to find ways to get in touch with women in Lamgione who could help him."

At this point, Vivian's tone became a little strange.

"At first, he got in touch with older women and used them to raise him.

Then, he got in touch with the sisters or daughters of the wealthier shopkeepers and got some financial support from them.

Then, he started to get in touch with some female adventurers and merchants. He used all kinds of methods to make them obsessed with him and selflessly contribute to him in order to get their help.

"That's how Leon achieved his current status. I heard that the reason he was able to pass the adventurer's newbie test was because the leader of the adventurer team that tested him was a female adventurer who loved him dearly. Most of his equipment was obtained with the help of women who were infatuated with him. He chose to become an adventurer not to level up or train himself, but to earn as much money as possible. He also used the adventurer's connections to get in touch with women of status."

"Because of this, many clients seem to be fascinated by him in the end. Not only do they provide him with all kinds of help, but sometimes they even deliberately put up some quests in the guild to give him money. Most of the quests are trivial matters that can't be any more trivial, but the rewards are frighteningly high."

"As such, Leon finally established his own Adventurer team and began to think of ways to recruit and get close to people who could help him. The reason why Young Master Margret joined his team was probably because he took the initiative to recruit him. Leon's goal didn't seem to be Young Master Margret, but rather he wanted to establish a relationship with Young Master Margret to get in touch with one of Young Master Margret's sisters …"

Vivian's explanation made the corners of Sean's mouth twitch uncontrollably.

Not to mention Sean, even Lucia and Merica, who had long heard of Leon's deeds, were speechless. The expressions on their faces were, in the words of Sean's previous life, "long live, long see".

But that wasn't the end.

"Do you see the woman called Eudilis beside that guy?" "She's the only daughter of the largest magical equipment merchant in Lamigione. She's had a crush on that fellow since two years ago. She even came here to be an adventurer just to be with that man." Tierre chimed in from the side, "She's the only daughter of the largest magical equipment merchant in Lamigione. She's had a crush on that fellow since two years ago. She even came here as an adventurer just to stay by his side.

This time, Shien's eyelids twitched.

That's all there is to it, right?

"In that team, there are either Sasaeng fans, pretty boys, or naive girls?"

Sean felt that the image of the adventurer team in his head was crumbling.

Especially when he thought of Leon's elegant and handsome face, Shien didn't expect this leader … no, this big boss to have such a trick up his sleeve.

Compared to him, those little fresh meats who were kept as mistresses by rich women in his previous life were so weak, okay?

"Don't tell me he's also eyeing you guys?"

Shien looked at Vivian and the others in disbelief.

The expressions of Vivian and the others became even more subtle.

Vivian even said hesitantly.

"After all, I'm Lily's childhood friend. It's normal for him to want to get in touch with Lily through me. Tierre is one of the kingdom's top geniuses, and he's very optimistic about her future. That's why he's been trying to cultivate a good relationship with her. Even Lumia and Merica are valued by him to a certain extent. He's probably trying to cast a wide net and invest in them, who have the potential to make a name for themselves in the future."

These words almost made Shien vomit blood.

Now, Shien only wanted to say one thing.

"What is a hero? That's a hero! "

Moreover, he was the hero of the Trash Style. It was truly admirable.

At least, Shien was starting to feel that he, the current hero, was just as weak as Leon.

However, compared to this, Shien wanted to say something more.

"Is it really alright to let such a team participate in this mission?"

Even if the nouveau riche young master had some talent, his level shouldn't be low. However, the pretty boy leader's level was much lower than the rest of the team. Since the naive girl was a merchant's daughter who became an adventurer for that ridiculous reason, her level shouldn't be that high, right?

Vivian naturally didn't think that it was alright. She was extremely worried.

"I'm afraid the highest level in Leon's team is Young Master Margray. However, there aren't just the three of them in Leon's team. Based on Leon's … erm … abilities, there are at least a dozen others in his team. That's why they're one of the famous adventurer teams in Ramjion and are acknowledged by Mister Baylon."

Although she said that, Vivian couldn't seem to get over it.

"This mission involves many parties. Leon and his team probably used some tricks to force their way in. They're probably trying to get credit, right?"

The person they were escorting this time was a major criminal who had murdered countless nobles and members of the royal family ten years ago. If they successfully delivered him to the royal capital, the nobles and the royal family would definitely reward him handsomely.

"I think it's because of this that Young Master Margray's father arranged for his son to participate in this mission. Leon wouldn't let go of such a good opportunity. If he could make use of this opportunity to have a relationship with the nobles' daughter in the royal capital, he would be reborn."

Vivian's words made Shien speak without hesitation.

"Sorry, I want to go back."

There was no way to complete this mission.
