Chapter 470: 358, The grand finale, Lin Da’s low blood pressure was cured
Bervis glanced over and saw that people had also arrived from Red Heart City.
Leading them was the deputy head of the Scarlet Adventure Group, “Thunder Swordmaster” Dawen.
With Bervis’s perspective, he wouldn’t bother with a common Star Rank. However, Dawen was highly talented and had the backing of The Mandalas, making his advancement to Moon Rank a certainty in the future.
Moreover, Dawen’s sister was a “dear friend” of his own sister, and Bervis acknowledged Dawen for that reason.
As their gazes met, Dawen placed his right fist over his heart, performing a gesture common among adventurers.
Bervis nodded slightly.
Observing the team from Red Heart City, he thought: The Bloody Baron isn’t here…
It seems that the rumors are true; that Lia really is estranged from her family. Bervis had investigated the Snow Goose Adventure Team and knew some lesser-known details.
For instance, Lia and the Bloody Baron Augutuo had no blood relation.
All of Augutuo’s attention was devoted to his biological son Dawen, leaving Lia in a state of neglect.
“Look, disgusting, hahaha!”
Rocher in front of Bervis suddenly pointed at the opposite VIP seats, showing a broad grin.
Bervis took a closer look and laughed as well: “Father is right; us pure adventurer families despise those pure nobility.”
On one hand, there were the upstarts who climbed up by strength, with lives licked by the blade.
On the other, there were nobles who relied on ancestral shade, controlled a vast amount of gold, and reaped without sowing.
The two sides despised each other.
On the other side, at a delicate black tea table, treats from White Dove City’s most famous pastry shop “Miss Mary’s Handcrafted Workshop” were on display.
Chocolate mousse cakes, colorful macarons, animal-shaped cookies…
Paired with tea a hundred times more precious than gold, sourced from the 15th floor.
White Dove City, in order not to be looked down upon by the nobility, brought out their very best.
Several noble young ladies gathered to chat, occasionally nibbling on the treats from the table. From their nonchalant expressions, it was clear that these delicacies, hard for ordinary adventurers to come by, were nothing special to them.
“Isn’t it starting yet? So boring.”
“Feels like there are quite a few handsome men among the competitors.”
“If they perform well, why not hire them as guards? Abner seems nice with those long legs.”
Leading the three young ladies, Milis chatted and laughed merrily.
President Velen sat to the side, his face turning red with anger.
Abner was one of White Dove City’s finest adventurers, not someone you just hire on a whim! From the sounds of it, hiring him didn’t mean for combat but to dress Abner in a tailcoat, collar him, and lead him around with a leash to introduce to their friends…
In short, they treated adventurers as playthings!
But considering that these ladies’ fathers were merchants with the title of Viscount, Velen suppressed his anger and forced a smile.
He passed the document in his hand to a middle-aged man beside him, dressed in a suit and with golden hair slicked back.
“Viscount Miwen, this is the list of distinguished adventurers from White Dove City.
The Ice Flower Adventure Team, led by Isa, comes from a knight’s family, well-established, and has steadily progressed to the 16th floor.
Lia, with her signature skill ‘Flame Burst,’ can use her Ultimate Skill twice in succession in a short period, showing endless potential.
Lin Da, with his extraordinarily high Recovery Amount and shield, excels in the Strategy of the World Tree, and has a bright future at the Sunrise Level.
Abner, our strongest adventurer in White Dove City, has been featured in the Adventurer’s Weekly.”
Velen displayed a proud smile, standing straighter as he spoke of these names.
“Hmm.”
Viscount Miwen responded indifferently, casually placing Velen’s carefully organized documents on the table.
“Viscount Sir, have you seen the documents already?” Velen asked, his expression souring.
“No need to read, I only trust my own eyes.”
Viscount Miwen crossed his legs, an attendant lit a thick South Seas cigar for him, and he took it in his hand. He inhaled deeply and exhaled a bluish smoke.
The viscount glanced at the sapphire watch on his wrist, seemingly verifying his schedule for the day, and said indifferently: “President Velen, I understand that the adventurers you speak of are geniuses, top-notch, but… I’ve seen too many ‘geniuses.’
Some of them have defeated the Behemoth Beast, others have subdued the Giant Dragon.
But they might carelessly step on a rock in the World Tree, underneath which lies a lethal snake… and they die a nonsensical, unclear death.”
“I don’t believe in geniuses, only in my own eyes.”
Viscount Miwen glanced at Velen: “Also, my daughter mentioned she encountered that Lin Da at the commercial house. Milis kindly invited him to join her on a visit in the city, why should he refuse? He even uttered some vulgar words towards my daughter.”
Hearing this subject, Milis stood up with her eyebrows raised, huffing: “That Lin Da is even more barbaric than the Beastmen, said I was in his way, threatened to kill me, what a person, really! That’s your outstanding adventurer? People from small places really lack manners.”
Her two friends nodded in agreement, their eyes revealing disgust.
Velen’s face changed: “Viscount Miwen, you are not aware, but at that time Lin Da’s team member was captured by heretics, and he was in a desperate hurry, which is why…”
“I understand he was in a hurry, but it is precisely in such times that reverence for nobility is revealed.”
Viscount Miwen shook his head and stated:
“If he were a good adventurer, he should have first accepted Milis’s request and then explained his difficult situation.
With my daughter’s upbringing, she would definitely understand and let him go.”
