At the banquet, he asked the host if he had an upset stomach.
Having lived for so long, Luo'aos had never met anyone as eloquent as Lin Que.
If it were the usual Luo'aos, he would have cursed back on the spot, questioning if the other party had a problem with his brain.
But today, the one who spoke these words was Lin Que, an absolute powerhouse whose strength had entered the four-digit realm, the person he was ostensibly reconciling with.
Unless his brain was broken, even Luo'aos wouldn't be stupid enough to confront him head-on.
Of course, Luo'aos didn't need to confront him head-on.
Recalling his plan, his gaze towards Lin Que became inexplicably arrogant, with a sense of superiority from having completely outsmarted him.
"Leader Lin Que, I suddenly remembered that I have some things I haven't done yet, so I need to leave for a while."
Luo'aos, who was about to notify ForesGaro to act, turned around and waved at the Guardian Captain not far away.
"You, over there, come here."
"During my absence, you will be responsible for helping to entertain Leader Lin Que."
"If anything goes wrong, I'll hold you accountable!"
"Yes!"
"I've already made the arrangements, so the two of you can act freely here for now. If you have any questions, you can ask him."
At this point, Luo'aos paused slightly, and a joyful smile suddenly appeared on his face.
"Oh, by the way, when I return later, I'll bring Leader Lin Que a gift as compensation for my disrespect towards Leader Lin Que the day before yesterday."
"What a coincidence!"
Lin Que also showed a joyful smile: "To compensate for my mistake the day before yesterday, I've also prepared a gift for Leader Luo'aos."
"Do you want to compare and see whose gift is better?"
"You too?"
Luo'aos was stunned, then suddenly burst into laughter: "Then I'll look forward to it."
...
Outside Wu Ming's territory.
The beastmen from ForesGaro hid in the dark corners, quietly waiting for news to arrive.
After an unknown period, a dog-headed beastman suddenly ran over from not far away and reported.
"Boss Jia Erde, Perseus has sent a message, telling us to act immediately!"
"Alright, everyone get ready!"
Pulling out a helmet from his Pregnant, the tiger-headed beastman Jia Erde put it on his head.
The next moment, his body gradually became transparent, disappearing from the spot.
This was a temporary item he had obtained today from Perseus's client.
It could hide his figure, making it convenient for action.
Although Jia Erde was somewhat puzzled as to why they still needed to hide their figures when there were no strong individuals left in Wu Ming's territory.
But the explanation he received from the other party was that this way, they could launch a sneak attack from the shadows, ensuring they captured Wu Ming's children immediately and ended the battle in the shortest possible time.
"It's just capturing a group of weak children, why would we need such a high-level Gift? That Guardian Captain of Perseus is really overthinking."
After taking the other party's actions as a lack of trust in his own strength, Jia Erde grumbled a few words unhappily, then looked at his teammates who had also entered an invisible state.
After confirming that everyone was ready, he led this group of beastmen directly towards Wu Ming's gate, leaping over it and jumping inside.
His gaze swept around, and Jia Erde, who had investigated beforehand, rushed towards the front right.
"Follow me, those children are in..."
Before he could finish, a fair little hand suddenly descended from above, grabbing Jia Erde's head and smashing it to the ground.
Boom—!
"As expected, some thieves chose to sneak into the territory when Lin Que and the others left."
Smoothly taking off the helmet on Jia Erde's head, Kanroji Mitsuri's gaze swept around.
Since it was a mass-produced Gift, the invisibility helmet's effect was only to hide one's figure.
With her newly acquired Observation Haki, Kanroji Mitsuri was fully capable of precisely locating these beastmen.
Within mere dozens of breaths, she, whose strength was already at the peak of the six-digit realm, had dealt with all these infiltrators.
"Whew~ Finally, they're all taken care of."
After confirming that no one had escaped, Kanroji Mitsuri, holding the invisibility helmets she had taken from the heads of these beastmen, walked up to a white-haired loli.
"White Yasha-sama, do you recognize this thing?"
"...I recognize it."
White Yasha, who had come to Wu Ming at Lin Que's invitation but found herself stood up, twitched the corner of her eye and replied truthfully.
"These are mass-produced invisibility helmets from Perseus."
"Perseus?"
Kanroji Mitsuri, feeling the name was somewhat familiar, thought for a moment and suddenly realized.
"Isn't that the Community that invited Lin Que and Leticia to the banquet today!"
Looking at Kanroji Mitsuri, who seemed to genuinely know nothing, White Yasha replied again: "It is indeed that Community."
"In that case, isn't there a problem!"
Receiving an affirmative answer, Kanroji Mitsuri's expression became serious.
"They just invited Lin Que and the others away, and then someone came to attack with that Community's Gift."
"That Perseus is probably going to make a move on Lin Que and Leticia!"
"White Yasha-sama, I need to temporarily guard the territory to prevent any accidents. Can I trouble you to go and help them!"
Are you sure you're not asking her to help Perseus?
White Yasha, who had understood most of the situation immediately, subtly glanced at Kanroji Mitsuri and sighed.
"No wonder he wanted to discuss the reward for causing trouble in the 'small group of 763480285029501' a few days ago."
This was clearly pre-planned; Lin Que intended to utterly destroy Perseus from the start.
And as a direct witness to everything, White Yasha unfortunately had no evidence to prove Lin Que's fault.
She could only obediently be manipulated by him and follow Lin Que's plan as a witness.
My fists are clenching!
