“I know you're anxious, but don't be anxious just yet.”
Likely sensing the mood of Riesling and the others, Justice, Chu Yuan, stepped forward.
“Looking at you, Justice, do you have some kind of plan?”
Because Chu Yuan was originally the type of elegant, easygoing, and handsome older man, when he stood among the crowd with an air of having everything under control, speaking nonchalantly, those standing around him couldn't help but clench their fists and want to hit him.
It wasn't for any particular reason; they just felt he was posturing a bit too much.
No one would object to hitting someone who was acting that pretentious, right?
“Ahem! Everyone! Everyone!!”
Seeing the unfriendly looks on their faces, Chu Yuan immediately gave a dry cough.
“Think about it, how much blood could a mere field leader carry on them? At most, a few hundred milliliters, and because they're on a mission, it might only be a hundred milliliters. But what if we were at the headquarters of Formation 505? There should be at least two or three thousand milliliters there, right?”
Chu Yuan spoke with a serious expression, spreading one hand as he explained the issues he had considered to everyone.
“Hiss—”
Everyone sucked in a breath of cold air.
That made sense! How much of what they needed could a lowly field operative possibly have?
As expected, the heart of someone who could be a member of the Supreme Council was definitely devious; he had easily identified the key to the problem.
So, one by one, they looked at Chu Yuan with strange expressions.
They silently calculated in their hearts that they should try their best not to provoke this guy in the future.
Killing for treasure was nothing new, not just in this world, but even back on Blue Star.
Especially in the commercial world visible to the public.
Instances of the big fish eating the small fish happened quite often.
“But we don't know where the headquarters of Formation 505 is, do we? How are we supposed to get there?”
Riesling also asked a core question.
“See, you're being anxious again.”
Knowing that his words had already swayed the group, Chu Yuan put on his airs again.
After showing off a bit and seeing the fists that had originally relaxed clench once more, he finally pointed slowly at Esmeralda and spoke.
“Don't we have a great diviner? Let her see where the headquarters of Formation 505 is, and then we can just go straight to their door and cause trouble, can't we?”
“Oh!!!!”
They had witnessed Esmeralda's divination up close today and had it verified just two or three minutes later.
Therefore, no one opposed Chu Yuan's suggestion to let Esmeralda take action.
They even looked eager to try.
“Come on, shout with me: Praise the Wheel of Fortune!”
Chu Yuan clapped his hands to focus everyone's attention and then shouted at the top of his lungs.
The group, already eager, was instantly whipped into a frenzy by Chu Yuan.
Plus, they often did this in the group chat before.
So, everyone began to clap.
“Praise the Wheel of Fortune!”
“Praise the Wheel of Fortune!”
“Praise the Wheel of Fortune!”
“Stop it, how old are you all? A bunch of idiots...”
Being subjected to such a scene, even the normally indifferent Esmeralda couldn't quite hold it together.
She directly used magic to seal these guys' mouths so they couldn't make a sound, then turned her head to look at the stunned Frenna.
“I'm sorry, you've seen something embarrassing.”
“It's... fine. It seems the villa is quite lively. I probably won't be lonely in the future.”
A polite yet awkward smile appeared on the corner of Frenna's mouth.
But she wasn't lying; joining such an interesting group meant things likely wouldn't be boring from now on.
“Haha! Audience members! The Chariot has successfully suppressed the cavalry! How will the cavalry counterattack next? Let's wait and see!”
Just as the discussion here finished, Gu Xiaobei, the live commentator, spoke up again.
It turned out that just now, she had been focused entirely on the battle in the field, not participating in or even noticing the events happening beside her.
“Chariot vs. Cavalry, the Chariot has a huge advantage! The Chariot A-clicked in! Chariot! The Chariot has called GG!!”
“Oh! What a surprising conclusion!”
“The Chariot, which had already suppressed the enemy, suddenly lost control and charged out of the battlefield!!!”
“However, I don't even have time to mourn for the Chariot! Arriving at the scene immediately is our Sun!”
“She's making her move! She's making her move! The Sun has thrown out two rune sticks!”
“It's Binding plus Ignition!”
“I didn't expect our contestant, The Sun, to go for the kill right from the start! Is she trying to roast the enemy alive?!”
“Wait! Hold on? The enemy contestant seems to...”
“Oh no! Her wig was blown away! Her bald head is exposed! She's furious! She's using a magic skill! She's GG'd!”
“Regrettably, our bald contestant ultimately couldn't withstand the dual attack of The Sun's rune stones and rune sticks...”
“What! The Sun actually captured the opponent alive! Does this count as a foul? Let's ask the tournament organizers!”
“Chief Referee Wheel of Fortune, what do you think of this move by The Sun?”
Seeing Ingrid grab the soot-blackened bald head, Gu Xiaobei immediately thrust the wooden spoon in her hand toward Esmeralda's mouth.
“Why ask me? I'm not the chief referee.”
Esmeralda, who had just been teased by the others, was suddenly ambushed by Gu Xiaobei and didn't know how to respond for a moment, so she could only give a stiff reply with a stern face.
“Alright, then what about Deputy Referee Frenna? Do you think this move by The Sun is reasonable and within the rules?”
Seeing that Esmeralda didn't intend to play along, Gu Xiaobei targeted Frenna.
Good grief, it was like she would just grab whoever could talk at the moment.
Frenna was speechless but still had to answer.
“Whether I think so or not isn't actually important.”
“Oh? What do you mean by that?”
Gu Xiaobei asked curiously.
Frenna pursed her lips and gestured toward the field.
“Because the bald contestant has already been brought over.”
“Uh...”
Gu Xiaobei looked back and saw Ingrid, leading the first-gen long-eared whose reins had been destroyed, tossing the blackened bald head at everyone's feet.
The group, which had been joking or begging Esmeralda to lift the magic, suddenly went quiet.
No, it should be said that except for the four people including Gu Xiaobei, the others had been very quiet since a moment ago.
“Your name, your rank in the organization, and the location of your headquarters.”
They say when enemies meet, their eyes blaze with hatred.
After seeing the other party, Frenna walked up directly and stepped on the back of the soot-blackened hand.
Psh!
Hiss—
The sound of the high heel piercing in made the people from the villa involuntarily suck in a breath of cold air.
Good lord, this woman who looked incredibly charming was actually quite ruthless and decisive. She was indeed a perfect fit for Tarot Villa.
