The party only caught a gli his hand, and in the nextof the white sword broke the silence, piercing through Orlando’s right hand

Rhode’s surprise attack, Orlando was shocked He thought that he hadthe attack hi it He could feel his vision was starting to blur when the sword pierced through his hand

Due to this sudden attack, he could only retreat and te Helen As for his ap between him and Rhode was too far apart, so he could only attempt to escape Thus, Orlando immediately twisted his body and jumped into the bushes

But Rhode did not intend to let hiure, a grin flashed across his face as he rushed forward

A brilliant light erupted from his sword and spilled towards Orlando as if it was ready to attack fro different with Rhode’s attack His Blade of Destruction did not directly chase toward his target, but it shi+fted slightly upward It appeared as though he missed and Ben, Lize, and Matt revealed a puzzled look on their faces

However, what happened the next moment surprised all of them

Because at this time, Orlando suddenly jumped into the path towards the Blade of Destruction

In truth, when he decided to jump, he already had a bad premonition For thieves, these movements were akin to their bread and butter Usually, when they retreated, they would instinctively execute an escape technique That hy Rhode could exploit his knowledge to predict which direction Orlando would escape to On the other hand, Orlando had ju pan, into the fire

When Orlando finally figured out Rhode’s attack trajectory, it was already too late He tried to alter his direction in enerous and selfless cooperation,’ the Blade of Destruction ht shoulder successfully The disheveled thief only had the ti towards the nearby bushes because of the impact

Rhode shi+fted his sword doards and walked towards Orlando

“Ugh… Ah…”

Lying in the bushes, he could only grit his teeth while enduring the pain fro footsteps, he attempted to escape but did not have the tiht hand

“Ahhhh!!!” Orlando screamed

Rhode was still cal which doubly assured everyone that this young man wasn’t ordinary

However, Rhode did not think hi He did not deliberately try to torture Orlando; it was just that it was an of his old habit in the gaame, so The more professional they were, the more vicious their attacks Furtheraing out was to keep them in constant combat mode Because of this, Rhode instinctively e individual by nailing his sword into the opponent’s hand, preventing the out

But the ain that this wasn’t a game ——— However, it did not matter anyway

Rhode walked to the side of the black-cloakedthe sword out from Orlando’s hand

“Aaa… Aaa!!!!!”

At thissensation on his right hand went past his pain tolerance level and began to twitch His left hand wasn’t able to stop Rhode, and could only sla at this scene, the others couldn’t help but shi+ver Even though they were not the ones facing this torture, but watching Orlando suffer made them terrified

Lize stood fro the indifferent Rhode A trace of coain recalled the words that he said to her at the hotel

race Since I have brought you guys back safely, I already do not owe anything, and you too I can only tell you I have th, that was the reason I made this proposal I can assure you that in less than two years, I can transforuild But I would also like to reht find difficult to accept So I hope that you can consider clearly If you are willing to accept my proposal, then you must mentally prepare for what is to come Because I will not allow anyone to hinder oal I have my own reason, but you do not need to know it now… I can understand your feelings, so I will not force you to agree, but I will still remind you the consequences of your proe you could accept

At that ti to say, but she was still shocked by his words Ultimately, she was still relieved that Rhode decided to speak to her about his future ht sound rather unacceptable, it wasthan if he would ht At least she knew that there was so for Rhode, after all, everyone is driven by their own motives However, she still did not understand what he saw in her roup which was almost disbanded, but since he didn’t want to explain, then she would not take the initiative to ask

At this an to loosen up Previously when Rhode attacked Helen, she was still quite uncertain Notabout herself, even Ben and the others did not see it co The reason why she cast protection shi+eld over Helen was purely based on her instincts, not because she was trying to cooperate with Rhode But from this battle, she could finally understand what Rhode was trying to do

In hershe recruited members and finish the roup But was it really that simple? Lize was already a veteran mercenary, she understood howto survive The Crescent Bow roup, but now it had turned into this Moreover, she was the only one who personally witnessed how this guild declined

roup?

Lize immediately answered her own question

I can’t

Even the previous leader, Carter, as usually easy-going, had his cold and firm side It wasn’t that she was unable to do it, rather, she just did not want to force herself to becoain fell upon Rhode

He did not tell her what he wanted to achieve But his expression was firm, without a trace of confusion or doubt
