Chapter 269: Lili: The Soma Familia is in trouble? There's such a good thing! ()

~6 min read 1,095 words

At the gate of the Soma Familia.

A short, petite girl with wine-red hair, wearing a light brown robe, slowly walked over from afar.

"Back again."

Looking at the mansion in front of her, a flash of disgust and rejection crossed Lili's eyes.

This was only natural; after all, no one could have good feelings for a Familia that constantly bullied her and exploited her money.

If it were possible, Lili would choose to quit the Soma Familia without hesitation and find a place to live an ordinary life.

It was a pity that she didn't even have the right to quit the Familia.

Due to the god Soma's inaction, all the power of the Familia was in the hands of the captain, Chanis.

Unless she died in some dark corner one day, the other party would never let go of her, this money-making tool.

"I hope I won't be picked on by those bastards this time."

Silently sighing, Lili pushed open the gate and walked into the Soma Familia's courtyard.

"Strange, why is there no one guarding the door today?"

After walking only a few steps inside, the cautious Lili noticed something wrong.

"So quiet, have all the people in the Familia gone out?"

Looking around suspiciously, an ominous premonition rose in Lili's heart.

But today was the fixed day for handing over earnings, and she couldn't stop and leave just because it was too quiet.

Otherwise, if the people in the Familia came to her the next day, she wouldn't be able to avoid a beating.

Suppressing the strange feeling rising from the depths of her heart, Lili walked deep into the mansion.

After arriving here, Lili still didn't hear any movement. She didn't rush in, but quietly approached the door and listened carefully for a few seconds.

After a long while, confirming that she still didn't hear any sound, Lili confirmed one thing.

The Soma Familia was in trouble!

Although this news meant that the Soma Familia had become very dangerous, the corners of Lili's mouth still subconsciously curled up, revealing a smile.

It's good that they're in trouble, as long as it doesn't affect her.

Holding this thought, Lili carefully lifted her small feet and retreated backward without making a sound.

However...

Before Lili could retreat a few steps, a calm voice suddenly rang out from thin air.

"Since you're here, why not go in and sit for a while?"

"Oh no!"

Lili's pupils contracted into needles and shook violently.

She had been discovered!

Forcing down the thought of running away, Lili turned to look at the man who had appeared behind her at some point.

"Eh?"

As soon as she saw the other party's face, a sense of familiarity rose in Lili.

"Are you... the god Lin Que?"

"Oh? You actually recognize me?"

"Yes, I saw your portrait on the Guild's notice board this afternoon."

"My portrait? Interesting."

A smile appeared on Lin Que's face: "It seems that after I left the Guild, Royman had someone draw it."

"Not bad, not bad. My money wasn't spent in vain; this publicity was done quite well."

Lili: "..."

Is that the point?

Silently swallowing, Lili looked at Lin Que quite nervously.

She hadn't forgotten the reason why the other party's face would appear on the notice board.

It was already past twelve o'clock, and the time had reached the second day.

The other party appearing here at this moment could only mean two possibilities.

Cooperating with the Soma Familia, or coming to attack the Soma Familia.

But if it were the former, there wouldn't be no movement at all.

Thinking for a moment, Lili took the initiative to ask.

"God Lin Que, may I ask... did you bring people here to attack the Soma Familia?"

"That's right, it's already been conquered."

Pushing open the door of the mansion nearby, Lin Que looked at the legal loli in front of him with a smile.

"Do you want to come in with me?"

It was obviously impossible to run away after being discovered by Lin Que.

Accepting the other party's invitation, Lili followed him all the way into the mansion and arrived in the backyard.

"Eh?"

As soon as she walked into the backyard, Lili saw a man with glasses and a thin build tied to a wooden stake.

"That is... Chanis?"

Although the other party looked very disheveled now, Lili still recognized this 'acquaintance'.

· ·········· ·······

"Why is he tied up?"

"Because his hands and feet aren't honest, and he's always thinking about causing trouble."

Laila, who was spinning a dagger in her hand, walked over from not far away.

"Plus, he knows about the Evilus, so I can conclude that this guy has big problems."

"To prevent him from escaping, I used a little force and broke his limbs."

"This way, even if he's a Level 2, he can't break free after being tied up with rope."

Speaking of this, Laila paused slightly and looked at Lin Que nearby.

"Normally, the next step should be to interrogate this guy and get key information as much as possible."

"But if you don't mind, my lord Lin Que, could you help extract his memories?"

...... ...... 0

"Since my cute Familia member has asked, I naturally won't refuse."

Lin Que smiled, and the shadow under his feet spread forward, swallowing Chanis on the wooden stake in one gulp.

The next second, he casually rubbed a small ball of light and threw it toward Laila nearby.

"Alright, the key information has been extracted. Take it and share it with Alise and the others."

"That's really simple and crude."

Laila smiled and took the small ball of light Lin Que handed over: "But to be honest, I always feel that even extracting memories is redundant."

"My lord Lin Que, you look so confident. Did you already know what kind of shady business he was doing in the dark?"

"Yeah, he was selling Xenos to the Knossos."

"Xenos?"

"They are monsters with intelligence."

Lin Que gestured to the small ball of light in Laila's hand: "Explaining it would be too much trouble. You can look at that group of memories later."

"I understand."

Laila nodded and glanced at Lili.

"Speaking of which, is this a new Familia member you've taken a fancy to? She looks a bit weak."

"Strength isn't the point. After all, when I'm not taking action, you and Alfia are enough for mid-to-high-end combat power."

Lin Que patted Lili's head: "What I really took a fancy to is the magic she possesses."

......a.
