Eugene then brought the topic back.
It's even better if the past is mentioned.
"Miss Ryu, you are a member of the Astrea Familia, the goddess of justice, right?"
When the goddess's name was mentioned, Liu immediately returned to her usual demeanor, sitting up straight and nodding.
"Please don't rush to refuse my request."
"After all, this has some connection with that person, as well as with you personally."
Ryu's pupils contracted.
Unlike Chloe and Noru, Ryu has a deep bond with her clan.
She committed numerous atrocities in order to avenge the loss of her kinsmen and companions.
Therefore, her attitude immediately changed when Eugene mentioned the topic.
"That happened many years ago, back when the Astrea Familia was still active. You punished many villains."
"Do you remember one of the dwarves named 'Tedo'?"
“Telto…” Liu pondered for a moment, then frowned.
“I remember him.”
You definitely remember.
Eugene chuckled to himself, "Because this is your storyline, you're bound to get involved no matter what."
"When you captured that guy back then, he cried and begged before Lady Astrea, promising that he would repent. And that merciful lady believed that people could change, so she gave him a second chance."
“Yes.” Ryu sighed softly, full of nostalgia: “Lady Astraea was always full of compassion.”
“But he squandered this precious mercy.”
!!!
As soon as Eugene said this, the air in the room suddenly turned cold!
"What did you say?"
Liu's brows furrowed, her eyes darkened rapidly, and her petite body exuded an intense aura that she could not suppress!
The most skilled adventurer at Lv4, terrifyingly powerful!
Eugene said calmly, "The person I've messed with is named Terri Cervantes, the richest man in Orario's entertainment city."
"And his true identity is none other than Terry from back then!"
"Murder and impersonation, human trafficking, accepting bribes, smuggling contraband, falsifying accounts..."
“The beauties he abducted from all over the country became his playthings, and the laws of this city were meaningless to him.”
“Territos, he trampled on the mercy given by the gods, and instead gradually degenerated into the king of crime in this city!”
Each and every one of these events became fuel for the fire in front of them, making it burn even more fiercely.
Crack! The clenched, pale fist produced a terrifying sound!
"Unforgivable!" Ryu's eyes were as cold as ice, and his throat was trembling.
It is precisely because of excessive mercy that darkness has been fueled.
Complete the task of eradicating evil!
This is precisely what Liu is willing to become a god of death to correct.
"It seems that we have reached an agreement."
Eugene smiled.
After several attempts, Ryu finally regained her composure and calmed her fluctuating emotions.
No longer caring about the elf's aloofness towards strangers, she cast aside her slight discomfort and reached out to hold Eugene's hand.
It's so big, and so hot...
So delicate, so soft...
The idea popped into their heads uncontrollably.
"Although I believe I have lost the right to uphold justice."
"Even so, I absolutely cannot condone Lady Astrea's mercy being trampled on like this!"
Wow, that was pretty exciting.
Eugene responded with a sincere smile.
"Then I'll leave it to you."
Once one is taken care of, the remaining two are not a big problem.
Turning back to Koroi and Noruva, who were still enjoying the show, Eugene said nothing, only smiling at them.
"Um, well, this doesn't really concern the cats..."
"Yes, although this matter is very important to you, Ryu, we have indeed retired from this business..."
Eugene found their stammering amusing.
He couldn't help but remind her, "Terry's power and strength should not be underestimated. I estimate that he may hire one or even more level 5 adventurers to cover for him."
"Wow! That's super dangerous!" The two girls looked at Liu in unison, but the elf girl showed no sign of changing her mind.
In the side story, Ryu caused a scene at the casino and successfully reported Terry.
However, during her escape, she was discovered by a level 5 adventurer.
Fortunately, the level 5 was Shakti, the leader of the Saniga clan, known as "The Staff of Ganesha".
The two had a past relationship, and the Saniga clan had long been targeting Terry.
Otherwise, it's really hard to say what the outcome will be.
Even the strongest level 4 can't beat a level 5.
This fact will not change.
"So the power of the two of you is also very important."
"These three unknown level 4s could probably escape unscathed even if they encountered a level 5, right?"
"That's not how it works, meow!" "Yeah, this whole thing is very risky, isn't it?"
Chloe and Noruva reacted very strongly.
Their careers as assassins and bounty hunters are all predicated on their own safety.
It's hard to understand why Liu would knowingly walk into danger.
“The price is negotiable.”
Eugene directly invoked his financial power.
"I heard that you two were extorted for 100 million because you vandalized Mia's mom's shop, and now you have to work here, right?"
"I can pay that 100 million for you."
"Not only that, if you two are willing, you can both work for me from now on."
"It's better than working in a restaurant for half your life, isn't it?"
Don't say that 100 million is too expensive. Eugene didn't even realize how easily the money came to him.
Wouldn't it be more satisfying to spend Terry's money to hire people to oppose him?
With the terms set so high, and the two women unwilling to see their friend take such a risk alone, the deal had clearly begun to waver.
One last spark is needed.
Eugene then played his trump card at the opportune moment.
"By the way, I heard that over the years, Terry has had two of his most capable subordinates: a black-haired cat-man and a brown-haired strongman."
These two are the ones who were following Eugene and got completely outplayed.
"Their backgrounds are quite remarkable; one is said to be an assassin from the underworld, and the other is said to be a renowned bounty hunter."
"I think her name is 'Lolo,' or 'Fast'?"
"Oh my, how come our features are so similar to yours?"
Eugene feigned surprise, displaying an exaggerated expression.
Koroi Lolo, a seasoned veteran of the underworld, and Noruwa Fast immediately understood what had happened.
It's been upvoted!
His reputation and fame were earned through countless trials and tribulations, achieving his goals perfectly timed time and again.
They were replaced by two guys of unknown origin!
Working as a bodyguard for the wealthy is a respectable job, and the annual salary is hundreds of times higher than washing dishes.
Those two guys just shamelessly stole the culmination of ten years of hard work from "Black Cat" and "Black Fist"!
"Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!!!"
Kroi and Noru simultaneously screamed and leaped up, their voices piercing the roof, even more intense than the resentment released by Ryu earlier!
"How could they do something so shameless! Unforgivable, meow!"
"How have I survived these past ten years? How dare I...!!"
"We absolutely have to kill them all! (in unison)!!"
That should count as a success.
Eugene looked at the two women jumping around and going crazy, and smiled with relief.
He turned his head as if sensing something, and just happened to meet the gaze of the elven girl.
The latter quickly lowered her head shyly, perhaps because of her panic, her heartbeat inexplicably quickened.
"How come this person seems to have everything under his control?"
