Chapter 268: You might not believe it, but the Ishtar Familia is the most normal one ()

A Level 5 was taken out in a second?

Staring blankly at Phryne's corpse nearby, Ganu and his group, who had been full of confidence just moments ago, were now frozen in place.

That was a Level 5!

A famous First-Class Adventurer, a peak existence even in Orario, where monsters were as common as clouds!

How could she be taken out so easily?

"Are you kidding me!"

Ganu looked at Lin Que in disbelief: "Aren't you a god! Why did you attack!"

"So what if I attacked?"

A playful look appeared on Lin Que's face: "Did you expect me to be like other gods, standing there and taking hits to the face without fighting back?"

"But..."

Ganu opened his mouth, a look of terror on his face: "After gods descend to the lower world, don't they all seal their powers!"

"Why do you still have such strong power!"

"You say some interesting things."

Lin Que couldn't help but laugh: "I can use my power as I please, of course, because I didn't seal myself."

Pitch-black shadows instantly spread from beneath Lin Que's feet, swallowing Ganu and the others at the door, along with the other hidden squads, in an instant.

"To even ask such a question, it seems your brains have some issues. No need to keep you around."

Alise watched this scene with some emotion: "Is it really okay to attack so casually?"

"If other gods saw this, it would cause a huge mess, right?"

"It doesn't matter. Even if they all teamed up, they couldn't beat me."

Lin Que smiled and digested the memories he had just acquired: "Let's see, four Familias attacked in total, right?"

"Soma Familia, Ishtar Familia, Ikelos Familia, and Thanatos Familia."

"Hmm... judging by strength, let's go wipe out the soft persimmon, the Soma Familia, first."

"Eh? Wait a minute!"

Hearing Lin Que's words, Kaguya nearby noticed something wrong.

"Thanatos and Ikelos... if I remember correctly, those two names belong to gods of the Evilus!"

"Even with the existence of the Knossos, they should be hiding in the shadows."

"How could they take the initiative to come out and cause you trouble?"

"As for the reason, that first Orc who rushed in actually mentioned it."

Before Lin Que could reply, Astraea gave the answer.

"They had their eyes on Lin Que's money and wanted to use this opportunity to plunder the remaining wealth on him."

"Money?"

Kaguya frowned slightly: "Could it be... to buy materials to build the Knossos?"

Kaguya had learned some basic information about the Knossos from Ryu's memories.

To ensure the overall structural integrity of the Knossos so it wouldn't be destroyed by minor incidents.

That massive artificial wonder used super-hard metal, Adamantite, for its walls, and the hardest refined metal, Orichalcum, for its gates.

Regardless of which metal it was, the market price was not low.

If purchased in large quantities to build the Knossos, it went without saying that the cost would be astronomical.

"Come to think of it, the Soma Familia's divine wine is very popular on the market."

"As for the Ishtar Familia, it goes without saying; as the masters of the Pleasure District, they control a vast amount of wealth."

Hearing Kaguya's hint, Ryu seemed to think of something, a thoughtful look appearing on her face.

"Could it be... that these two Familias acting together with the Thanatos Familia is not a coincidence?"

"The Evilus are like rats crossing the street right now; where would there be so many coincidences?"

Kaguya sneered: "If nothing goes wrong, these two Familias should be secretly cooperating with the Knossos North North North Side."

"The Soma Familia and Ishtar Familia provide funds and channels to help purchase materials to build the Knossos."

"The Thanatos Familia and Ikelos Familia provide manpower or certain conveniences to help these two Familias solve some minor problems."

"As long as the movements aren't large, this kind of transaction is indeed hard to attract the attention of others. It fits the style of that group perfectly."

"Yosh~ then let's follow god Lin Que's plan and target the Soma Familia first!"

"Let's capture the people of the Soma Familia first and ask for more details."

Alise ignited her fighting spirit, grabbed Ryu with her left hand and Kaguya with her right, and walked straight out the door.

However, after only a few steps, she seemed to think of something and turned her head to look at Lin Que.

"We don't have to kill everyone in the Soma Familia, right?"

"Suit yourself. Anyway, after eating these small fries, it wouldn't even be enough to get between my teeth."

Lin Que replied with a smile: "But since you just revived and don't know anything, I'll give you a heads-up."

"Among these Familias, the Ishtar Familia is the only one with a relatively large number of normal people."

"It's actually the Ishtar Familia?"

Alise was a bit surprised: "It seems the situation is worse than I imagined."

"But don't worry, I won't let the evildoers off."

Alise patted her chest, her face full of confidence: "I will catch all those evildoers and deal with them one by one!"

Soma Familia.

"Strange, why haven't they come back yet?"

Standing at a high point in the Soma Familia's territory, Chanis looked toward the distant gate and the roads further away.

As the captain of the Soma Familia, he was naturally very clear about the Soma Familia's operation tonight.

Logically speaking, this sneak attack should have started as soon as it passed twelve o'clock.

It had been almost an hour now, and not a single message had been sent back. It was truly a bit eerie.

"Could it be... they failed?"

Chanis frowned: "That shouldn't be."

The Soma Familia's role was reconnaissance and cover, so combat power didn't really matter.

But to ensure the success of this operation, the Ishtar Familia had sent the Level 5 Phryne.

Besides that, the Evilus North North North Side had also sent several Level 3s and one Level 4.

This luxurious lineup was more than enough to attack a medium-sized Familia.

Lin Que's Familia, a newly founded small Familia, shouldn't have been able to handle it even if they had trump cards.

But...

The current situation was that not a single member of the Soma Familia sent to make up the numbers had returned to report the battle situation.

"No, I can't wait any longer."

An ominous premonition rose in Chanis's heart: "I must go confirm the situation myself."

"If those guys really failed and exposed the relationship with the Soma Familia, I need to prepare an escape route in advance."

"Hmm? It seems I've heard something interesting."

Just as Chanis was preparing to move, a dagger suddenly reached out from behind him and pressed against his throat.

"Don't move around~ If I find anything suspicious, I really will take action."

Chanis: "???"

Where did this enemy come from?
