"It's okay, it's in the city anyway, so it won't take much time to make a trip."

"Then it's settled. We'll take on this commission together."

Eve: "Eh, eh—! Me, the two of us?"

I humbly beg all my esteemed readers to give me more flowers and monthly tickets, and I desperately request that you urge me to update more frequently and provide rewards. I would be eternally grateful.

Chapter 238 Team Mission: Eve's Tragic Fate!

Upon hearing Lucy's words, Eve was so shocked that her brain didn't process it for a moment.

Is Lucy inviting me to team up? Would anyone want to do quests with someone like me?

Eve was filled with self-doubt.

Lucy had no idea what she was thinking, but seeing that she remained silent, she explained somewhat embarrassedly:

"I noticed that you often don't get the rewards for your missions, so I thought that having a teammate might make it easier for you to complete your missions, at least you wouldn't have to worry about others withholding your rewards."

"Of course, you'll be the main contributor to this mission; I'll only contribute a small amount, so 30% is fine."

"No! Thirty percent is too little!"

Upon hearing that Lucy-senpai only wanted 30%, Eve immediately retorted excitedly.

But realizing what she'd said, Eve was startled by her own loud voice and quickly lowered her head again, explaining in a low voice:

"I said that this distribution method is unreasonable."

In the past, when I treated patients, I was always embarrassed to ask for money, which made others look down on me and think I was easy to bully, so they deliberately deducted my payment.

"If you can help me get the full payment, Lucy, I'd be happy to give you even half."

"You... you must have had a really tough time before."

Lucy was at a loss for words. She hadn't expected that Eve's wages had been withheld more than once or twice.

How timid is this guy? He doesn't even dare to ask others for his own reward.

While silently complaining in her heart, Lucy's sympathy was also stirred up at the same time.

The past can be left aside for now, but Eve is now a guildmate of hers.

She wouldn't abandon her out of both reason and emotion. For the sake of her companion, she was determined to take responsibility as a senior and look after Eve well in the future, guiding her into a qualified and independent mage.

Lucy, who had made a silent vow, immediately tore off the commission form and pulled Eve to stand in front of Beetz.

"President, Eve and I will take on this mission."

Bitts glanced at the commission form, nodded in approval, and gave the instructions:

"Go ahead, be careful in everything, and prioritize your own safety."

"Ok, I know."

Then, Lucy greeted Yan and Leng separately, and then hurriedly took Eve off on a mission.

Looking in the direction where the two disappeared, Yan crossed his long legs, hugged his knees, and said jokingly:

"A very interesting newcomer. It's hard to imagine that there would be such a big contrast between a person's appearance and personality."

For some reason, I find this child inexplicably adorable.

Beetz nodded in deep agreement. When they first met, he saw Eve's face, which looked experienced, mature and charming, coupled with her past experience of selling aphrodisiacs.

This led Beetz to subconsciously assume that she was a seasoned veteran in the magical world, or at the very least, a shrewd and experienced person.

This impression remained unchanged until Eve heard that she had passed the guild's assessment and successfully become a member of the guild, and then she clung to his pants, begging him to lend her 3000 gold for food.

Later, after getting to know her better, I learned that Eve had been learning magic and medicine making from a teacher in the deep mountains and forests since she was a child.

It wasn't until two months ago, after her teacher passed away, that she stepped into the world of magic for the first time and began living independently.

It's easy to imagine how miserable a newcomer who has no backing and knows nothing would be when he first enters the world of magic.

In just two short months, Eve's estate, worth at least tens of millions of dollars, was completely swindled away.

Even with his pharmaceutical skills, he might be able to take on a few medical cases, but due to his own timidity, he often didn't receive much compensation.

Finally, having no other choice, they partnered with a client to start a business making aphrodisiacs on the recommendation of a customer.

In the end, most of the money earned from the pharmaceutical business went to the customers, while Eve herself not only gained nothing, but was also targeted by a wealthy businessman who had overdosed on the drugs and become impotent, who sent people to hunt down (Wang's Zhao) Fou.

This situation continued until the Saiwei Guild was established, and Eve joined immediately. Only then did the wealthy businessman, wary of the guild's strength, voluntarily give up.

In summary, Eve, who has the face of a mature woman, is essentially a complete novice with neither experience nor courage or intelligence.

His illusion magic was so rudimentary that even Lucy before she joined the guild couldn't handle it.

If it weren't for her good looks and ability to make magical potions, Beetz would have wanted to kick this useless person out of the guild.

I humbly beg all my esteemed readers to give me more flowers and monthly tickets, and I desperately request that you urge me to update more frequently and provide rewards. I would be eternally grateful.

!

Bitts shook his head helplessly and poured himself a glass of wine.

"Let's leave that silly girl to Lucy. Lucy is quite shrewd, and with her around, she won't suffer any losses."

That concludes this topic.

After downing his drink in one gulp, Bittz set the glass aside and pulled out another order form from his pocket, saying:

"I have another commission here, which is actually somewhat related to the mission that Lucy and the others took."

As he spoke, he looked around and finally nudged Leng, who was silent and lost in thought.

She glanced at the commission that had been pushed to her side, then looked up at Beetz, who was staring intently at her with little change in expression, before finally picking up the commission and reading it herself.

And at that moment, Bitz's voice also rang out.

"This commission was directly issued by the council last night. (8) s7 "Company (5) " Recently, several guilds have reported that they have received the same task multiple times in recent times.

The tasks are mostly about the client, or their relatives or friends, contracting some kind of strange illness.

Ordinary doctors cannot treat this condition; it requires the intervention of a mage who understands healing and medicine.

According to the council's statistics, as of last night, major guilds had received more than 300 similar requests.

The council is concerned that this may be a new type of disease that can spread widely.

Therefore, this S-rank investigation request was specifically issued, hoping that a mage could find the source of the disease and prevent its further spread, thus preventing more people from becoming infected.

Leng carefully read through all the contents of the commission before raising his head and coldly staring at Bitz.

"Let's not even talk about the fact that I'm not yet a so-called S-class mage, and I can't accept S-class missions."

Even if you promote me to S-rank now, why should I agree to it?

Or are you just trying to get rid of me so I'll happily run errands and do tasks for you?

So that we can make some space for you two to continue enjoying your time together?

Upon hearing this, Yan leaned forward in surprise, looking past Bitz and at Leng.

"Sniff sniff~ Hmm, what's going on? I think I smell a very sour vinegar smell."

Yan sniffed affectedly and teased Leng in a playful tone.

His expression remained unchanged, and he rebuked in a harsh, cold voice:

"Shut up, you slut, do you think everyone is as shameless as you?"

My heart is set on the Queen and justice, nothing else!

"Heh, you better be."

Having made a fool of himself, Yan gave a cold laugh and then fell silent.

Leng also withdrew her gaze from her and focused her attention back on Bitz.

And finally, under her gaze, Bitz slowly spoke.

"You're half right. I am indeed planning to appoint you and Yan as S-class mages right now so that you can take on this commission."

Upon hearing this, Leng immediately raised his chin, revealing an expression that said, "Just as I expected."

"However, I don't plan to leave Yan at home either. I also have tasks to assign her later."

Bitts leaned against the bar, smiling as he looked at Leng, whose expression was slightly taken aback, and chuckled softly:

"You see, you still don't understand me enough."

If I really want to have some time alone with you, I can still do it even without sending you away, and I'll do it openly and honestly.

As for what you think, that's none of my business. I always prioritize my own enjoyment, regardless of anything else.

Seeing the smug Beetz, Leng's face darkened, and he spat inwardly again, cursing the two of them as adulterers.

He immediately got up in annoyance, grabbed the order form from the bar, and strode towards the door.

"Be careful on the road," Yan said with a smile, waving at Leng's retreating figure.

Leng paused upon hearing this, turned around and glared at her fiercely before quickly leaving the guild.

The more unhappy Leng was, the happier Yan laughed.

(II) After Yi-+Qi Liuer and others left, she smiled and turned around, ignoring the gazes of the other guild members. She leaned her body against Bitz, her high-heeled boots lightly rubbing against the man's calves.

"Hey, they're all gone. Don't you really want to do something with me again and have some fun together?"

Sensing the subtle movements of the person beneath him, Bitz calmly lowered his hand and grabbed Yan's thigh, which was just below her short skirt and not covered by armor.

Gently kneading with his five fingers, feeling the firm, smooth touch of his palm every second, Bitches said with great regret:

"If you had said this at a different time, I would never have hesitated to grant your wish."

But today is really not an option; I need your help to complete a task.

As he spoke, he kneaded the flesh again before letting go.

Yan also became interested and wanted to know what kind of task he would assign to her.

Leaning close to Yan's ear, Bitt whispered in a voice only the two of them could hear:

"I need you to make a trip to Galna Island and bring back the solid ice that Uru has turned into, as well as her daughter Urutia."

I humbly beg all my esteemed readers to give me more flowers and monthly tickets, and I desperately request that you urge me to update more frequently and provide rewards. I would be eternally grateful.

!

As the women took on their respective missions, only Bitz remained in the vast guild, apart from the ordinary maids.

However, he wasn't idle. While everyone else was on their missions, there was something he needed to handle.

On the third floor of the guild, Salad, who had been nowhere to be seen at the bar, appeared.

She knocked on the door of the reception room with a tray in her hand. After receiving permission from the guests inside, she opened the door, smiled, and walked in, placing the teacup on the tray in front of a man with dark brown hair that was meticulously styled.

"Mr. Jiude, I have informed the chairman of your purpose. Please wait patiently for a moment. The chairman will be here shortly."

Jude Heartfilia, the head of the Heartfilia Consortium, Lucy's father, a powerful businessman.

The stern-faced father didn't immediately pick up his teacup to drink. Instead, he impatiently rolled up his right sleeve, glanced at the time, and said in a cold tone:

"I have been waiting here for one hour and eight minutes."

Your guild seems to lack any understanding of hospitality. For a small guild established only a month ago, isn't it far too arrogant?

Sarah felt a surge of displeasure at Jude's tone, which sounded like a superior reprimanding his subordinate.

But on the surface, her smile remained unchanged, and she politely bowed and apologized while holding the tray:

"I'm sorry, our president is always capricious. If Mr. Jiude really has something important to do, please be patient. The president will definitely come to see me as soon as he has time."

Do whatever you want?

Upon hearing this word, Jiude's expression darkened even further.

He's just a small, unknown guild leader, yet he dares to be so arrogant.
