Chapter 91: 090 looked down upon?
“Are you okay now, Merica?”
As everyone scattered to make preparations for departure, Vivian also gathered her team by the side of a carriage in a corner, gently asking Merica.
“I’m fine, thank you, Sister Vivian.”
Merica shook her head and managed a smile for everyone, but it was clearly forced.
“I didn’t expect things to turn out this way.”
Displeasure saturated Tielle’s tone, making it obvious she had an absolute dislike for the arrival of Leon’s team.
...
“I really want to go home...”
Lu Muya even murmured such words half crying, reflecting the immense pressure she felt.
Shane felt his curiosity was about to peak.
“What? Do you guys have a grudge against them?”
Shane was not particularly cultured and asked everyone directly out of curiosity.
Their expressions turned somewhat indescribable.
In the end, it was Vivian who answered for them.
“It’s not exactly a grudge,” she said, sighing repeatedly. “But there is some tension between our team and theirs, that’s true.”
“I thought so,” Shane shrugged. “Not to mention anything else, that nouveau riche young master looks quite familiar with all of you. His eyes were practically glued to Merica.”
“Ugh...” Merica was left speechless and lowered her head, almost on the verge of tears.
Tielle’s tone grew colder as she said, “It seems he hasn’t given up on Merica.”
It was glaringly obvious.
Vivian patted Merica on the head as a sign of comfort, also directing her gaze to Shane, “That Mr. Magre had spent about half a month in our team when he first became an adventurer and hadn’t passed the assessment yet.”
At this point, Vivian’s tone became somewhat colder.
“If... If it hadn’t been for Tielle patrolling around the campsite, noticing what was happening, and stopping him in time, Merica would have definitely been harmed.”
Even Lu Muya, the shy Beastman girl, couldn’t hold back a comment, obviously very upset by the incident.
Merica’s head hung even lower, visibly trembling as if remembering the incident.
Seeing this, Shane finally frowned.
“Why would someone like that still be allowed to stay in the guild?” Shane asked bluntly. “With such indecent behavior, is Riley really letting him off just because he has talent?”
Shane’s opinion of Riley would surely plummet greatly.
But the one to answer this question wasn’t Vivian, it was Tielle.
“That guy is no ordinary person; he’s a Noble.” Tielle spoke coldly. “His father is a vassal of Marquis Mula, who came to this town with Mr. Bellen when the latter was assigned to Lamijion, having status and position second only to Mr. Bellen.”
Meaning, it was only because his family pleaded on his behalf that Magre was allowed to continue in the adventurer’s guild.
Even so, Magre was kicked out of Vivian’s Team and was forbidden to approach Merica.
“I see,” Shane mused. “So, the young master joined the team of that person named Leon?”
“That’s right.” Vivian nodded. “Leon accepted the young master and passed him through the rookie evaluation.”
“And what’s the deal with this Leon?” Shane asked curiously. “Why does it seem like none of you have a good impression of him? Is he some kind of bad guy?”
Nobody answered immediately.
“This...” Vivian hesitated, finally saying with a wry smile, “It’s not that he’s a bad person, but honestly, to those who know of his deeds, Leon is very much looked down upon.”
“Looked down upon?” Shane raised an eyebrow.
What was that about?
As Shane was pondering this, Vivian offered the following:
“Because he is a man who climbed the ranks by relying on women.”
