Chapter 316 (2/2)
“Do you kno a shrewd hunter hunts?”
Chi-Woo tilted his head at her sudden question A common technique that hunters employed was to track down traces Then what about a shrewd hunter?
“They release their hunting dogs and et the prey, hide in advance where they think the prey will go, or…”
“Make the prey coave hiht s ith each other, and he thought he could safely leave this matter to the event for the tenth reinforcements ended without hiccups Seven Stars recruited Aida Odelia, and Ho Lactea recruited Yunael Tania The two organizations took only one person each into their fold, and they were the exceptions A moderate number of heroes were taken by Afrilith, Eustitia, and the Adventure Guild Then the re heroes were taken by teams that participated in the second draft Thus ended the whole event, but there were so Seven Stars and Ho Lactea were the top huuilds to exist currently, they should be able to handle more people However, this protest didn’t receive much support because most heroes knew intrinsically that in a world like this, it was better to raise one strong hero properly than a hundred or even thousands of mediocre heroes
It was too early to conclude whofor certain was that depending on who perfor difference in the next one In that sense, Aida Odelia was an unknown variable, while Yunael Tania was a box office movie that was sure to be a massive hit
After the event concluded, Yunael met up with Aida “Sorry, Aida I wanted to be with you, but I couldn’t resist Ho Lactea’s offer…” Yunael spoke in an apologetic tone as if they really couldn’t help it
“No, it’s all right” However, Aida’s reaction was dry She said that Yunael had ht” Yunael agreed but tilted their head This wasn’t the response they’d anticipated Yunael stared at the cal time before they finally said, “But still, it’s a bit…you know If you’d at least contacted me once… No, honestly, I didn’t really care where I went before I just wanted to go where you went since we’ve been working together for a long time!”
“I actually tried to make it happen as well”
“What?” Yunael’s ears twitched
“I mentioned you and asked if you could also join, but…” Aida didn’t finish, her voice growing quiet
“But what?” Gulp Yunael’s throat uess what had happened by Aida’s hesitation, but they wanted to hear it themselves “Come on, tell me What did he say!?” However, when there was still no answer, Yunael’s true emotions showed Their careful, inquisitive tone was coitation
“Well…” In the end, Aida succumbed to the pressure and continued with difficulty, “The leader of Seven Stars said it was not you but me they wanted to recruit…and flatly refused”
A huff caood sense” Surprisingly, Yunael’s voice was calhter that was on the verge of leaking out It was because she could easily iht In fact, while their voice was cal hard in intense fury
Yunael continued, “Well, our Aida is a hero that won’t lose to anyone…but I guess he hasn't heard aboutsince he rose to the Celestial Realm?” Yunael pretended to care for Aida, but unable to suppress their disappointment, they added a coain, Yunael chewed their lower lip for a while and took a deep breath Phew “So what do you think? What's Seven Stars like?”
“It’s not bad, but I think I need to seeis fine, so just tellconditions like? It’s the place where you’ll be staying after all”
Aida smiled wryly inside and felt relieved at the same time that Eval Sevaru wasn’t here Since Aida was the only one with the their interest in Seven Stars and basically shouting, ‘I’m interested in Seven Stars! Super interested!’ If Eval Sevaru had seen Yunael’s attitude just now…any doubts about Yunael’s interest would turn into certainty Then Yunael would beco Eval’s personality, he would relentlessly corner and pressure Yunael to their breaking point Aida felt loyal to Yunael considering the years they spent together and didn’t want them to be pushed to that extent
“Hmm…I don’t find it particularly inconvenient to live there”
Yunael’s eyes sparkled at Aida’s words “Really? Ho Lactea’s place is really great though! Their building is no joke!”
“Is that so? I’m curious”
“I was really shocked I finally understand nohy everyone praises Ho Lactea so ratulations”
“Thanks Anyhere is Seven Stars’ base? I also want to check it out sometime” Yunael asked proudly
“It’s over there” Aide pointed without looking back, and Yunael flinched The two of the at the main square and the center of the holy city, Shalyh, and Seven Stars’ base was somewhere they could immediately see from the main square? It was an even better location than the Ho Lactea’s area, where he had to walk a bit to reach the main square
Then Yunael beca the place Aida pointed to She had said she didn’t find it particularly inconvenient to live there, but that was a complete, bold-face lie Of course, it was difficult to determine which place was better when compared with Ho Lactea’s area, but if anyone asked Yunael to choose, they would choose Seven Stars without hesitation The Ho Lactea building was big and nice, but it was too standard Everything was too structured and fit right up to the standard In contrast, the Seven Stars zone felt like artisans had burned their artistic souls freely to construct a piece of artwork At the saanized It perfectly matched Yunael’s taste
“Uh…yeah… That place isn’t bad either…” Yunael mumbled in a small voice and cleared their throat “Anyway, if you don’t like that place…just tell me whenever you want I was a bit nervous because it was a Ho Lactea after all, but we got along better than I thought If I asked, it would be no proble one person with me”
“Thank you for your offer, but I’ this just in case Later on, you ht—”
“I want to stay with Seven Stars a little longer”
Yunael’s eyes widened a bit Since they’ve known each other for over ten years, Yunael knew Aida well, and Aida was not pretentious with her words and actions She always spoke matter-of-factly, and Aida of all people had refused the how she had no intentions to leave Seven Stars
“…Ah, really? I see Sorry, don’t getIt’s because I want to be with you, Aida, so…”
“Haha Of course, I feel the sa at different places, but nothing’s changed between us, right?”
“Of course Let’s do our best at our respective places, and I’ll visit often to say hello and check up on how you’re doing” Aida cheered Yunael on until the very end The problem was that was all she did
“Geez…” Yunael’s expression looked extremely sour as they went back Yunael had et Aida to invite them “But how could she not even ask…” Even till the very end, Aida hadn’t said, ‘Then why don’t you come to Seven Stars to join me?’ She didn’t even ask them once for politeness sake Of course, Yunael was the one who made it clear that they chose Ho Lactea, and Aida expressed that she respected their decision Yunael did know that, but they still felt a sense of betrayal for no reason
“shi+t…” Why did they feel like an ex abandoned by the person they were dating? Yunael puckered their lips and kicked a rock on the street in annoyance Then they clenched their teeth and clutched their fists ‘I’ll show theladly accepted their challenge They didn’t need Seven Stars or Aida Yunael was going to show theret for not choosing them Yunael made a firm resolve in their heart and stoure wearing a long hood stood up quietly near the place where Aida and Yunael had been sitting and talking As if it was uncomfortable, Eval Sevaru immediately took off his hood, and his face becalanced at Yunael’s quickly departing back Then he muttered to himself, ‘You’re dead now’
