Loki Familia Has No Decent People! (Continued)

His initial choice was the impossible one: to defeat Goliath using pure physical skills. However, he used magic to protect himself during the process, so he estimated that this would not meet the requirements for his own level-up.

But when he arrived at the scene of the monster horde, he knew his chance had come.

He single-handedly withstood the attack of the beast horde, pushing his body to its limits.

Isn't this a genuine crisis situation, especially since I can't even chant in parallel?

Moreover, with the protection of his fellow Familia, he would be able to use "Celestial Crusade" without any reservations.

"Ais, can you do me a favor?"

"Um?"

Ais tilted her head slightly, looking at William with some confusion.

"And Bete, he was so rude to me just now, it's not too much to ask him to help me out now!"

William narrowed his long, narrow eyes as he looked at Bete was hanging out at the table.

"Tch, what is it!"

Bete, who would normally have refused, scratched his silver hair and agreed.

"Of course, we should go and talk to the boss of this street."

A meaningful smile appeared on William's lips.

At this moment, Verus, the leader of the Rivira Merchant Guild, was busy rescuing his injured adventurer companions and cleaning up the items and magic stones dropped by monsters on the battlefield.

Upon seeing the three people who had come before him, Verus put down what he was doing.

"Excuse me, Mr. Verus."

"I am William of the Loki Familia. Nice to meet you!"

With Ais and Bete flanking him, William extended his hand to the giant man.

"Haha! We really owe everyone's help this time, otherwise we wouldn't have been able to stop this beast tide!"

Although he knew William had ill intentions, he felt obligated to accept William's offer and could only extend his hand to shake it.

"You're too kind, not at all."

"Of course we're not helping for free!"

William released Verus's hand and said to the Rivira leader with a cold smile.

His words effectively shut down what Verus was about to say.

"Mr. William, what do you mean by this?"

Verus's forced smile was about to crumble.

"What do I mean? Mr. Verus should understand!"

"I don't think it's a good idea to classify our actions as voluntary labor!"

"Mr. Verus, you should understand!"

"Rivira is your property, not the guild's. We have no obligation to help."

Although he wasn't in good shape, with these two guardian deities of his own side, he didn't need to worry about his own safety or give this greedy guy any face.

He had just clearly seen this guy secretly instructing his subordinates to collect the magic stones dropped by the monsters killed by his Thunder Beast and Liu.

If I hadn't come, he would definitely have pocketed a portion of it.

Now that I've arrived, they actually want to label their actions as such and refuse to pay them the compensation they deserve.

Now that William had made things clear, Verus stopped maintaining his fake smile.

"But I don't recall requesting Loki Familia to clean up the monsters!"

"What did you say?"

Bete was no pushover; his fierce gaze was fixed on Verus, and he had already bent his knee, ready to kick the guy in the stomach.

William extended one hand horizontally, feigning to hinder Bete's movement.

"Mr. Verus, there's no point in trying to be clever like this!"

"If I hadn't intervened, you would have given up on Rivira by now!"

"I think rebuilding a Rivira would cost far more than hiring the three of us."

After saying this, William immediately gave Ais a look, Ais, receiving the signal, also drew her Despair Sword.

The light reflected from the white crystals on the dome shone on the silver-white sword, the dazzling cold light momentarily blinding Verus's single eye.

Damn it!

Verus's teeth were grinding together, making a grinding sound, and his fists were clenched tightly.

After a long while, his tense shoulders finally relaxed, and he seemed to have lost all his strength, resignedly saying...

"Don't worry, I won't go too far."

William spoke with a warm and gentle tone.

"Really!"

Verus immediately perked up, his listless demeanor vanishing.

"Of course, Mr. Verus, we're in the same business!"

"The hiring fee for the two top adventurers Ais and Bete, is 6 million Valis!"

"The cost of maintaining and repairing their weapons is 2 million Valis."

"My hiring fee was 2 million Valis, and the cost of two bottles of mental energy potions was 200,000 Valis."

"A total of 10.2 million Valis, let's round it down to 10 million Valis."

William didn't even need to think about it before he gave Verus a clear breakdown of the bill.

Verus felt a mouthful of blood choke in his throat; he really wanted to slap his past self from just a few seconds ago.
