After leaving the team, the adventurer ladies regretted it deeply

Specter Adventure Group Villa.

In the meeting hall, black curtains were drawn tight to block the noon sunlight.

Under the dim indoor lighting, there were shelves displaying various Magical Creatures' skulls, a fish tank breeding pink tentacles that were wriggling in the water, which was somewhat nauseating to watch.

The oil paintings on the walls depicted black devils sinisterly using various torture devices on humans... Each item showcased the proprietor's unique taste.

"Aaaaaaah! Lin Da, you bastard!"

A roar shattered the silence in the hall.

As Kam reviewed the results of the court trial in his hands, his face turned ashen; he tore the document in two.

He had prepared a feast for his elder brother Hulus, having brought in ten incredibly beautiful Elves from the tavern, ready to enjoy the meal together in celebration of Hulus' release from prison.

But this document shattered Kam's beautiful plans.

Furthermore, the Law Enforcement Department reopened past grievances, alleging that the Specter Adventure Team had sold inferior Magic Potions three years ago, causing the death of several adventurers.

A fine of five million Gold Coins and an extension of Hulus' sentence by six months.

Five million Gold Coins—it was an enormous sum even for a Steel Level Adventure Group!

Kam could endure all this.

But why was Hulus' sentence extended by six months?

The gentle, kind elder brother, who always let his younger brother have the most beautiful women, now had to spend more time in prison because of Lin Da.

He would also miss this year's grandest festival, the Winter Festival.

For adventurers in this world, the Winter Festival was almost equivalent to the Chinese New Year.

On that day, Hulus could only shed tears behind iron bars.

The two brothers would not be able to watch the fireworks display of the Winter Festival together.

Just when, for more than 40 years, his elder brother had never missed it once.

Thinking about this, Kam was seething with hatred.

All this just for assassinating one insignificant Lin Da, daring to imprison my elder brother?

A mere level 20-something adventurer, killing you is doing you a favor!

Kam's mouth twisted in fury.

He looked at Rhode crazily and said, "We can't just let it go, I want Lin Da dead!"

"Indeed, we can't let it go, but not now,"

Rhode calmly said, "Phoenix Tail Flower was able to kill Revika and his two companions without a scratch, they definitely have unknown tricks up their sleeves. We've been careless once, we cannot afford to make the same mistake again."

"Right now, our advantage is that Phoenix Tail Flower has not reached Star Rank yet, posing no threat to us."

"When the recent attention dies down, we can completely ambush Phoenix Tail Flower in the Great Mystery Continent, making them pay a bloody price!"

"Meanwhile, the most important thing is to get Hulus out of prison first."

Rhode analyzed methodically.

His muscular physique gave others the impression of a brute, but in reality, he was meticulous and adept at planning, a requirement for a leader of the Steel Level Adventure Group.

After listening, Kam gradually came to his senses.

"But how can we get my brother out?" Kam frowned.

"You like this... again like this..."

That same afternoon.

Under Rhode's arrangement, Kam held a press conference in the villa's main hall.

This grey-haired co-leader of the Specter, righteously claimed:

'Lin Da abused the rights of the Glorious Adventurers without any evidence, causing Hulus to be unjustly imprisoned, which is complete slander! We demand a public apology from Lin Da, otherwise, we'll see Phoenix Tail Flower in court!'

Rows of Magic Guided Cameras snapped photos of Kam voraciously.

Rhode stood in the background, his face breaking into a cold sneer.

With the Law Enforcement Department unable to find evidence of Hulus assassinating Lin Da and under the pressure of public opinion, they would have to release Hulus soon.

Ironically, that day, the Phoenix Tail Flower Adventure Team also held a press conference.

"Having heard of the formidable strength of the Specter Adventure Group, I, Lin Da, captain of Phoenix Tail Flower, am eager to experience it firsthand."

"After battling an Epic Monster, one of my teammates was injured and has yet to recover."

"Ouch, it hurts..."

"As you can see the condition of my teammate, I am deeply pained and must vent my anger."

"The Arena seems like a good place, and I hope the Specters can extend their gracious teaching to us, a newbie adventure team that has just advanced to the rock level!"

At the Phoenix Tail Flower Villa's third floor, Lin Da stood at the podium with bloodshot eyes, his speech fierce.

Next to him, Kafni was wrapped in bandages, appearing so feeble as if she might die at any moment.

An assassin had attacked the day Kafni seemed unharmed but had suffered severe 'internal injuries.' By condemning the Specters, Lin Da did not directly name Hulus as the perpetrator, but his actions already told everyone the answer.

Click, click, click! The Magic Guided Cameras' flashes flickered constantly.

Lin Da looked down at the twenty or so reporters below the podium and smiled:

"Why not choose today? I think today should be the day we all accompany each other to witness Phoenix Tail Flower issuing a challenge to the Specters. With the Steel Level Adventure Group's strength, I believe they will not mind our challenge."

The reporters' eyes lit up, sensing a hot news story.

Lin Da, along with Tasya, Lulu, Monica, and a group of reporters, marched mightily towards the residence of the Specter Adventure Group.

Upon arriving at the scene.

Both groups of reporters were momentarily stunned.

Why are you guys here too?

As they say, "fellow workers are worst enemies." They had secretly come to interview Lin Da/Kam, aiming to scoop an internal scoop by surprise, decisively clinching the end-of-month bonus.

But, looking closely, they saw their colleagues interviewing the other side.

There was an awkward sense of having their sneaky move exposed.

Both parties laughed it off and turned their 'big guns' towards the parties involved.
