Julia and I weren't close.
I had never reached the stage where I got the opportunity to face her in battle because I had been too weak, so I had never spoken to her before, except during our last meeting at the club.
I was sure she had done this after realizing I was responsible for taking on the tasks they had been monopolizing and completing the number one inexhaustible goblin extermination quest.
This might have been the option she chose after weighing her choices.
I wasn't surprised.
Only a fool would choose otherwise, unless we were already in an irreparable dispute like the Windcrest Clan and me.
Or unless they were allies of the Zahara Clan.
In that case, it would be more profitable for them to use any means to bring me down.
I pondered what she thought of me.
Was it fear? Or wariness?
Nonetheless, I couldn't refuse this tribute.
I opened the rectangular box.
Inside was a whole pizza, topped with cauliflower and chicken meat.
