I have no idea what my boss's intentions are in hiring this bunch of trash.
That person's actions are always unpredictable.
After Noruva left.
A small group, led by Ganu, a man from the cat-human race, immediately began preparations to set off.
However, they had other ideas about the standards Chloe set.
"Boss, that woman is a real idiot. She gave us so much money, she had no idea we would switch the goods, right?"
"Hmph, you can tell at a glance that this is another rich kid from who-knows-where who's gone too far since he got into the game."
As Ganu weighed the deposit in his hand, his smile stretched almost to his ears.
Having spent years in Orario, they are seasoned veterans at making dirty money.
Use this money to go to the black market and buy a batch of low-quality products with short-lasting effects; you can easily make at least half of that profit!
This money is so easy to earn!
As for conscience, that's something only the dead possess.
In the melting pot of Orario, the first to die are the good people!
"Speaking of which, that woman requested a rather large quantity of goods."
"Such a heavy thing, we really need to find someone to share the load, right?"
The group exchanged a knowing glance and simultaneously revealed ugly smiles.
"It seems like it's been a long time since I visited Lily Luca."
"Yes, it's only natural for seniors to care about juniors, isn't it?"
"I wonder how much filial piety I'll receive from her this time?"
"Jie Jie Jie Jie..."
……
25. A pitiful person, yet hateful in some ways.
(Lily Luca Erd)
at the same time.
Inside a prop shop on the border between the slums and the market.
Clois, a master of infiltration, efficiently located the target Eugene had designated.
“Lilyluka Erd, it’s you.”
With her face hidden by a scarf, Kroi appeared silently like a ghost. The oppressive aura emanating from her, a top-tier level 4, made the cowering little girl in front of her feel no resistance whatsoever.
"Sir, no, may I ask what business you have with Lily?"
"..." Chloe remained silent, observing the trembling Lily with a variety of expressions.
The girl, with brown curly hair, looked to be just over ten years old. Although short, she was already quite well-developed, with a slender waist and curvaceous figure. If it weren't for her timidity, she would be considered an outstanding beauty among the dwarfs.
The boss actually likes this kind of thing?
The black cat girl couldn't see anything special about Lily.
It's just a legal loli, what's so special about it?
Isn't this cat versatile enough to be both mature and cute?
In the blink of an eye, Roy cast aside all those random thoughts and casually tossed out an accessory.
Her voice was cold and devoid of any emotion.
"If you wish to leave the Soma Familia, go to the xx location in the dungeon at xx time."
"This accessory will guide you to find the person who can help you."
"Don't pin your hopes on your clan leader. His greed is insatiable. Even if you earn ten million, you will never be able to escape that hell."
"And the person you're looking for can solve everything for you."
Before the stunned Lily could respond, Noruva tossed the ornament over.
"S-lord!"
Lily sprang up from the ground as if from a dream, her expression a mixture of disbelief and confusion.
There are so many things she doesn't understand.
How did the other party know my needs? And why were they so certain that I could never escape my clan on my own?
Why would he help a complete stranger like this?
A thousand questions were stuck in my throat, and I couldn't utter a sound.
Kroy looked at the girl who was so excited that she choked and couldn't help but cast a sympathetic glance at her.
What exactly did she go through?
How much suffering and setbacks will a weak and helpless little girl experience in this world where the strong rule?
But she hardened her heart and didn't do anything unnecessary.
This was also Eugene's instruction.
Chloe's voice returned to its cold indifference, offering no further explanation.
"If you succeed, no one will be able to bother you anymore."
"Remember, this is your only chance to gain freedom."
"Once you miss out, you can never turn things around!"
Never to rise again!
This was the darkest nightmare of Lily's life!
It was a verdict that could drive her to despair!
From the time she could remember, she had been trapped in this endless abyss from which she could not escape.
Five years, ten years, she had hoped for the goodness of people.
But what they received was always relentless oppression.
"I definitely will—"
call!
A cold wind swept by.
In the blink of an eye, there was no one in front of him.
"Okay, so strong..."
The speed of Lv4 is beyond imagination.
Such power comes from a mere messenger.
So who must be the person behind it all?
You have to go! You absolutely must go!
So what if it's a trap!
Lily's heart was pounding, and her lips were trembling.
It's all too dreamlike.
My life has already reached the lowest point.
Nothing could be worse than death.
No, rather, it's more accurate to say that if one is truly bound to this chaotic and unruly clan for life...
Then it would be better to end the rest of your life sooner!
The impatient little girl forgot her exhaustion from returning from the dungeon.
Her short-sleeved shirt couldn't hide the layers of bruises on her delicate skin.
But she hurriedly packed away her tattered burlap robe, which was covered with props, and slung over her shoulder the enormous, rather exaggerated and comical-looking bag that was bigger than herself.
There are very few protagonists in this world.
Lily is not one of them.
She was the weakest of the little people, lacking both outstanding talent and superior intelligence.
Just surviving is already an immense effort.
But that tiny bit of hope, accumulated over countless days and nights, is always easily snatched away just as it begins to gather into light.
"Lily hates adventurers."
The girl, covered in wounds, began to wallow in self-pity without anyone noticing.
She retaliated against those who had bullied her with deception, theft, and all sorts of dishonorable means.
Even if the result is often a beating.
But if only there could be a brief moment for those high and mighty people to experience the same despair as she did.
That would be the best.
In order to escape the constraints and exploitation of her clan, Lily worked desperately to earn money while living with this decadent mentality.
She didn't know, and she dared not think about it.
Will the body break down first, or will the mind break down first?
When such days become a habit, a person will turn to evil.
And she is not far from that day.
just now.
Such an opportunity, like a bolt from the blue, appeared out of nowhere!
