Chapter 638: 460, Overwhelming, Lin Da heads to the top floor_2

Before that…

Dewey, suppressing his humiliation, placed his right fist over his chest, bowed slightly, and perford a simple adventurer’s gesture, “Captain Phoenix Tail Flower, please forgive my many offenses!”

“If you’ve got the guts, stay in the hall.”

“Wait till our guild leaders’ eting is over, and then we can discuss this personally.”

“That’s exactly what I intend.”

Lin Da smiled calmly, took Aiko’s hand, and returned to sit at the table.

Hearing the na Lorrace and showing no fear, Dewey couldn’t help but wonder if this man had sothing up his sleeve.

The onlookers, observing his deanor, couldn’t help but speculate.

If Lin Da were easy to bully, they wouldn’t have let him off with just a “wait a bit.”

No matter what happened today, the Zijing Stone’s reputation would be shared with the Phoenix Tail Flower.

Even if the Zijing Stone Family used their numbers and power to force Lin Da to bow, it would still be the Zijing Stone Family that lost face.

Besides, with so many eyes in the hall, even an enraged Lorrace wouldn’t be able to do anything too outrageous.

Anyone with eyes could see that it was Lorrace’s son who harassed Aiko first…

Amidst the murmuring of the crowd, Lin Da’s expression remained unchanged as he conversed with Aiko about matters related to adventuring.

Pick was taken away by Dewey to avoid further embarrassnt.

About half an hour passed.

Upstairs, no one had co down yet.

Lin Da couldn’t help but ask, “Do the tri-guild etings always take this long?”

Aiko shook her head, “This ti it’s trickier, I guess. The situation has changed a lot, not like before with the fixed ‘South Red White’ hierarchy.”

“Is that so…” Lin Da said, “I hope this eting can end normally.”

No sooner had he spoken.

“Bastards——”

A roar suddenly erupted from above, shaking the entire building.

Everyone instinctively shut their mouths and listened intently.

Yet no new sound erged.

But anyone could guess that the eting on the top floor wasn’t going smoothly.

“The owner of the voice seems to be Rochelle.”

“It’s about ti for the glory of Holy Rock to step down.”

“Hehe… It’s said that a Steel Level Adventure Group supported by Lorrace is expected to upgrade to Sunrise Level before the Winter Festival. The balance of three powers will no longer exist.”

Listening to the discussions around him, Lin Da thought for a mont and made a decision.

He stood up, took Aiko’s hand, “Let’s go upstairs and have a look.”

“But only guild leaders may participate in the tri-guild eting,” Aiko pursed her lips and whispered, “We’ll be stopped.”

“Aren’t you Captain Rochelle’s daughter? What’s wrong with a daughter bringing her Oath-bound to check on her father’s condition?”

Lin Da’s hand exerted a faint but firm pressure, conveying solidarity as he calmly said, “If soone really dares to stop us, I’d like to see if they’re worthy.”

With the support of Twin Mana and a Legendary Weapon, Lin Da’s Attribute Points matched those of an average 45-level adventurer. If he unleashed the Five Rare Skills, only guild leaders could stand against him in battle.

In other words, aside from Lorrace and Bear Ji, anyone else facing Lin Da would be bringing sha upon themselves.

“Okay, I’ll listen to you…” Aiko nodded.

“It’ll be fine.” Lin Da sensed a slight unease in the gold-haired girl and gently embraced Aiko.

Imdiately after, he took Aiko’s hand, as an Oath-bound, his gaze fixed firmly on the top floor, and began climbing the stairs.

The adventurer’s boots tapped crisply and pleasingly on the elegant wooden staircase.

Upon reaching the third floor, a powerful energy fluctuation was distinctly felt.

Inside the hall, over thirty pairs of eyes turned to Lin Da and his companion.

They seed perplexed as to why outsiders would co to such a place.

Lin Da’s heart skipped a beat, but he quickly regained his composure.

Three years of adventuring had matured his mindset, and he could now face even the grandest of assemblies with calm.

Looking closely, the hall was filled with about thirty adventurers, each radiating an aura of the Moon Rank.

These were the core mbers of South Rock City’s three great Sunrise Level adventure teams.

Among them, Lin Da saw a familiar face—Bervis, leaning against the wall with squinted eyes and a somber expression.

The hall was divided into three distinct factions of Moon rank adventurers.

One faction was led by Bervis.

Another was a middle-aged man dressed in a brown Mage Robe.

The last faction consisted of a muscular figure with an earring and a gold necklace, a bear-headed man surrounded by Beastn.

Holy Rock, the Zijing Stone Family, Bear Roar.

These three were the deputy leaders of the Sun Adventure Group.

As soon as Lin Da and Aiko appeared, they imdiately caught everyone’s attention.

The unusual gazes that shot their way felt like arrows; even Lin Da felt a heavy burden on his shoulders, as if he were carrying a giant stone with more than thirty Moon rank adventurers present.

Having a lot of people… is indeed impressive.

Seeing them, Lin Da thought of his own Phoenix Tail Flower Team, which had less than ten mbers.

The number of team mbers had to continue to grow.

“Aiko?”

Bervis was taken aback and said, surprised.

This squinty-eyed blonde Swordsman, accompanied by his team mbers, walked briskly over, and a hint of a smile appeared on his serious face due to Aiko’s arrival, joking:

“I thought you’d never co back in this lifeti.”

“Young Lady.” Ten team mbers carrying various weapons said excitedly.

Aiko’s arrival was like an injection of Inspiration, easing the fatigue in their bodies.

The captain will surely be happy to know this.

Since getting injured on the 20th floor of the Great Mystery Continent, Rocher seed to have changed, offhandedly ntioning to his team mbers, “I sort of miss a certain waste of space daughter.”

This was unprecedented.

“Hmm, I’ve co to see my father.” Aiko nestled up to Lin Da, looking demure and bird-like, which made Holy Rock’s n a bit incredulous.

“Who is this?” a square-faced team mber inquired curiously as he looked at Lin Da.

Lin Da had never publicly announced any of his Oath-bound, so his relationship with Aiko wasn’t clear to outsiders.

Otherwise, why would the leader of the Zijing Stone Family, Lorrace, offend a potentially powerful adventure team by not knowing that Aiko was Lin Da’s Oath-bound?

Bervis looked at Lin Da expectantly.

At a ti when Holy Rock’s morale was low, if Lin Da could give a satisfactory response, it would undoubtedly be a great opportunity to uplift spirits.

Since the other two Sun Adventure Group mbers were also present, announcing it here wouldn’t be much different from announcing it across the whole city.

“But… Lin Da, do you have the courage to nod?”

Bervis clenched his fists nervously.

If Lin Da nodded, it would an standing in the sa camp as Holy Rock.

Aiko caught the implication behind the square-faced team mber’s words, her fingers trembling slightly. Of course, she hoped Lin Da would acknowledge their relationship, but such an acknowledgnt might cause great trouble for the Phoenix Tail Flower Team…

The deputy leader of Bear Roar, the muscular “Bear Xiong,” and the deputy leader of the Zijing Stone Family, the Earth Mage “Ming Tu,” looked at Lin Da with a hint of threat in their eyes.

An invisible heavy pressure settled on Lin Da’s shoulders.

As the captain of a Sun Adventure Group, he had to be cautious in public.

However, Lin Da’s answer had been decided the mont he accompanied Aiko to South Rock City.

A group of uncle-aged team mbers had tear-filled eyes as if they had sand in them.
