Chapter 111

"I am the Marquis": "......"

Originally, Marquis Vo Ban was happy for a while upon seeing a new member join.

But after he saw who had joined, the smile on his face gradually vanished, and then he was completely stunned.

Instinctively, he opened his eyes, wiped them, closed them again, and looked into the guild chat room in his mind.

However, the person he saw was still that same person.

Clinging to a one-in-a-million hope, Marquis Vo Ban tagged Su Han.

"I am the Marquis": "Su Xiao."

"Guild Master, this name must be a joke; this guy must be joking! How could she possibly have joined the guild chat!"

Tachibana Erina: "......"

Tachibana Erina looked utterly bewildered.

So, what exactly happened? Why did everyone look so complicated upon seeing the new member?

Su Xiao: "Old Marquis, you didn't see wrong; I personally invited Lord Luo Hao over."

"I am the Marquis": "The remaining membership invitation..."

Su Xiao: "That's right, it was used!"

Marquis Vo Ban suddenly felt an urge to spit blood; this joke had truly gone too far.

Now how could he go looking for trouble with Luo Hao? How could he even do it? And judging by the situation, even if guild members were allowed to harm each other, he probably couldn't lay a hand on Luo Hao.

It was obvious that Luo Hao had a very deep connection with Su Han.

Otherwise, why would Su Han use an invitation just because he was stuffed full?

Tony Is Not The Richest Man: "So, Old Marquis, I'm really looking forward to you going to find trouble with Lord Luo Hao."

"Hahaha."

"I am the Marquis": "......"

Today I have suffered a great shock and need some time to calm down.

For now, I'll spare your dog life, Tony Stark.

Tony Is Not The Richest Man: "There is one more thing, Old Marquis! I just remembered, aren't you about the same age as Lord Luo Hao? Why do you look so much older compared to him?"

"I am the Marquis": "......"

Marquis Vo Ban suddenly felt he should change his previous opinion.

Someone like Tony Stark is better off beaten to death on the spot.

Watching the scenes unfold in the guild chat, Su Han shook his head with a wry smile, but as he continued watching, he suddenly sensed something was off.

He slowly furrowed his brows; after pondering for a moment, his eyes flashed slightly, and he finally realized exactly what was wrong.

Su Xiao: "My little sister is super unlovable."

Little Tongtong."

Su Xiao: "My little sister is super unlovable."

Little Tongtong."

Su Xiao: "These two guys... I can't even @ them."

Tachibana Erina: "President, has something happened?"

Come Be My Son: "...No, the President's @ is correct! I just remembered that the Gao Ban siblings haven't popped up in a very long time."

I Am the Marquis: "Could it be that some anomaly has occurred in that world? Or perhaps... some great disaster has struck that world?"

Tachibana Erina: "..."

Speaking of great disasters, Tachibana Erina couldn't help but recall the troublesome matters that had arisen in her own home.

She immediately grew suspicious, muttering to herself inwardly.

Even if some great catastrophe had occurred, it was likely that members within this guild had done something extraordinary; after all, a massive anomaly had appeared at the Tachibana residence.

Although, thanks to Tachibana Seijuro's immense influence, he had contacted countless former friends and barely managed to suppress the incident, there were still repercussions.

For instance, not long ago, the National Public Security Force had come knocking on Tachibana Erina's door.

They conducted a strict interrogation.

Of course, no physical torture was involved.

The excuse Tachibana Seijuro concocted to cover things up was that he had an old friend who had hunted a super-sized sea monster.

Out of curiosity, he had then spent a fortune to buy that sea monster.

As for how that sea monster actually passed through Japan's customs to enter the Tachibana residence, let alone burst the entire mansion apart... Tachibana Seijuro offered no explanation.

He simply could not explain it.

As a giant figure in Japan's culinary world, Tachibana Seijuro's Far Moon Academy could also be counted among the top-tier conglomerates.

In a country like Japan, which operates under a conglomerate system, paying a huge price and providing a plausible reason allows many issues to be resolved.

As for what you are secretly plotting behind the scenes, the National Public Security Force might investigate covertly.

But they won't come directly to your door, show you no face, and overturn the chessboard.

That would be bad for everyone.

Although the matter was settled and any lingering consequences were negligible, Tachibana Erina still felt utterly exhausted.

Due to various concerns, Tachibana Erina did not directly inform Tachibana Seijuro about the guild.

She merely told him she had encountered an incredible opportunity and could accept ingredients from other worlds.

Tachibana Seijuro said nothing more; after requesting a portion of those ingredients,

he departed.

Tachibana Erina having secrets was not a major issue.

As long as it posed no harm to herself, it was fine.

After all..., the future of the Tachibana family would ultimately fall to Tachibana Erina to inherit.

However, it wasn't entirely negative; following this incident, Tachibana Erina's status within her own family had greatly increased.

Daoist True Person Zhang Sanfeng: "Actually, I feel the Gao Ban siblings probably haven't met with any trouble... but if that world has encountered problems, Fallen Angel Twelve-Winged Black Cat should know."

Gokou Ruri and the Gao Ban siblings reside in the same world.

Upon connecting these dots, White Beard became tense.

The Gao Ban brother had nothing to do with him.

But Gokou Ruri was his daughter.

Fallen Angel Twelve-Winged Black Cat: "..."

Su Xiao: "Fallen Angel Twelve-Winged Black Cat,"

"Has anything happened in your world? Also, do you know the current situation of the Gao Ban siblings?"

Fallen Angel Twelve-Winged Black Cat: "President, indeed, some matters have recently arisen in our world."

"However... it is a matter at the national level."

"It should have nothing to do with us."

Fallen Angel Twelve-Winged Black Cat: "Also, although the Gao Ban siblings are no longer popping up in the guild, there shouldn't be any major issues."

"I privately messaged Gao Ban Kinako just two days ago."

Fallen Angel Twelve-Winged Black Cat: "Gao Ban Kyousuke has already left the Gao Ban household! It seems he could not bear his sister looking at him with such strange eyes."

"He is preparing to sever all ties with his past and start a new life."

Jackie Chan Doesn't Want Archaeology: "..."

Thinking about it this way, his own future scandal involving incestuous tendencies had been exposed.

It was indeed a super dark history.

If it were him, he would have to flee too.

Tony Is Not the Richest Man: "So that's why Gao Ban Kyousuke isn't popping up in the guild. I clearly felt that once this matter was exposed, there was absolutely no possibility for the Gao Ban siblings to transcend their sibling bond."

"Yet he is still so paranoid."

Tony Stark thought Gao Ban Kyousuke was really making a mountain out of a molehill.

Since there was no possibility anyway, wouldn't it be better to face it calmly? Why make it so terrifying, staring at his own sister as if she were a venomous snake?

He didn't even dare to stay in his own home anymore.
