You will make your brother guildless, which means he will be stripped of all his powers and resources.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"He won’t also get the weekly paycheck, and if we kick him out... Nobody else will want him either.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You know what it means to be kicked out of a guild—a stigma that will ruin his reputation forever. It will keep haunting him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And no other guild wants to get someone who has already been kicked out of a guild—they’ll believe that he did something wrong to get kicked.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Della said with a frown.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And what if I want that?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Anna asked with a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...Why? He is your brother. He forgave you for whatever you did. It is obvious that he cares about you. You want to ruin him?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Della said with shaky eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She thought that Anna was a horrible, horrible person and couldn’t understand why she would want to hurt her own brother.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Where do you think he’ll go when nobody else wants him? He’ll be shunned by everyone, and he’ll be all alone... But then he remembers that I will always be there for him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And he’ll seek me out and will join my side—where he was always meant to be—and we’ll reach the top of the tower together.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Anna said with a giggle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was very giddy about the future, as it sounded like her plan was without any flaws.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Della rose to her feet—she was hiding her face—but there was something off about her body language, as if she were trembling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Trembling in anger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We’re done here.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She said coldly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What do you mean by that? Are you going to kick my brother out or not?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Anna asked with a frown.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I will not. I now understand why Raon seemed strange when he saw you. It looks like he doesn’t want to have anything to do with you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Della said coldly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instantly, Anna’s expression turned from happy back to cold.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I will crush your guild then. Mark my words.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She said coldly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If you do, Raon will hate you forever. He likes it here, and he likes being here with me especially.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Della said with a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...What do you mean?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Anna’s expression turned serious, and she had a sinking feeling in her stomach. She had a bad feeling about what Della was implying.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh, nothing~\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Della traced her finger across her lips and smiled mysteriously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Anna jumped to her feet and smashed her hands on the table.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luckily, the windows were good at cancelling all the noise. Otherwise everyone in the common room would’ve heard her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"His lips are tasty—they taste like strawberry, I think—well, you wouldn’t know anything about that, but I do.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Della pressed her lips together, trying to hide her blush.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...No... He didn’t... You two wouldn’t... You are a liar. A big fat fucking liar. I know you are lying. So obvious.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Anna laughed madly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You think I will really believe you? How stupid of you. My brother will never hate me even if I destroy this piece of shit guild.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I will just make an excuse about why I did that, and he will believe me. He has always had a soft spot when it came to me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And he will take his sister’s side and not some whore’s.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Anna said coldly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I wouldn’t be so sure of that. To me, it does look like he enjoys my presence more than yours. I mean, he is part of my guild and not yours~\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Della giggled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her giggle would melt even the coldest of hearts, but when Anna heard that, she felt hatred like no other.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We’ll see about that... I’ll have a talk with my brother...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Anna said coldly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Go ahead, but I don’t think he will leave with you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Della said with a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hahahaha...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Anna coldly laughed and ran straight to the door, but as she put her hand on the doorknob, a cold smile appeared on her face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She remembered something.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You really think my brother likes you? You’re more foolish than I thought.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Anna said with a cold smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The kiss says otherwise.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Della said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You must’ve forced that kiss on him. I think in reality he thought that it was disgusting. Want to know why?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Anna turned back to her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Della raised an eyebrow in confusion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She didn’t know how Fang Raon felt about the kiss, but he didn’t try to push her away and didn’t look disgusted afterwards.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was always a possibility that he hid the disgust, but she thought of herself as quite pretty, and there was never a shortage of boys trying to court her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She thought that maybe Fang Raon didn’t mind it—perhaps even, maybe, he loved kissing with her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She hoped, at least.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"My brother has someone else—a girlfriend—back in the real world. Thus, you kissed a taken man~\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Anna said with a grin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When she mentioned the word \"girlfriend,\" she looked like she was going to puke for a moment but resisted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Della’s eyes widened in shock.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She thought that perhaps Anna was lying.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ask my brother about Chaewon~\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Anna giggled, and she then opened the door and walked out of the balcony—it was turning rather chilly outside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Della looked through the window and saw Fang Raon sitting with her grandfather, talking about something.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’No... Did I really force him?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her lips trembled, and she felt like crying—the pain of her broken heart spreading throughout her body.\u003C\u002Fp>",1013,"2026-06-06T02:35:08.438Z",1,"novelbin.me","c99cda985d33f54f001e235512c53f8dc09f80cdacb10745c2542b0863949c06","black-online-chapter-162","black-online-chapter-160",270,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fblack-online-cover.jpg"]
