"Damn it, are they from Divine Arcana Academy?"
In the hiding team, Peilan asked in a low voice.
"Who else did you think it would be?" Amanda was closest to Peilan. Hearing this, she sneered coldly. "Did you really think it was a ghost, like that stupid bird said?"
Peilan: ""
"Speaking of which, what happened to you?" Amanda looked at him in displeasure. "Didn't you set up alarm devices along our route? How come there was still no reaction even after they attacked us? Were your alarm devices expired?"
Peilan's face immediately flushed red. Guiltily, he said, "Well, the other side has a very capable scout who can dismantle my devices without making a sound."
"Nonsense." Amanda snorted coldly. "Of course they have an expert. He's the direct heir of the Shadowsong Family. Didn't you read the information before coming? Why do you look so surprised?"
Peilan: ""
"In the end, you're just incompetent!" Amanda snorted coldly. "Then again, although you come from a prestigious family too, you're still a bastard child."
"You!!" Peilan choked with anger. Why was this woman so irritating?
Grandpa Lu glanced over and, unusually, patted Peilan on the shoulder in consolation, looking as though they shared the same misfortune.
Amanda looked at Grandpa Lu and gave a cold laugh, about to continue when Vice Captain Rhein directly cut off the insult she was about to deliver!
