“Of course I understand what youfor e, I ath”

her answer, Rhode could not help but to shoot a glance at Old Hank Although she was the infaame, he had never come in direct contact with her before Froirl was very independent and possessed a strong pride However, the words she spoke previously made him a bit puzzled He did not understand why a person like her would say that joining a declining ?

Uncle Hank are of the lance, but he was unable to explain his suffering He was very clear about Marlene’s identity and influence As a young noble, she didn’t lack the strength, but a th Experience and willpower played a critical role in the e who doesn’t hesitate to kill her enemies on the battlefield, in the end, she was still a woed and thrown onto a bed by soe would be useless, right? That hy Old Hank had always been very careful If so miss, then he would be put in a very difficult situation

Her nobility-bred arrogance also made a lot of mercenaries quite uncomfortable Old Hank tried his best to introduce her to several roups, but in the end, the other side always rejected, giving excuses such as ‘having enough members’ After all, the status between nobles and ordinary people orlds apart, and the mercenaries did not necessarily trust nobility

Marlene wasn’t stupid, she, of course, knew the reason why those people did not accept her But her pride would prevent her frouys

Therefore, Rhode’s appearance lit a glimmer of hope within her

Rumors said that Rhode was also a noble If that was the case, then presumably, he should be better than those uneducated roup had only two hthat they already have enough people, then wouldn’t it be a total brazen lie?

Rhode did not understand what Marleneto do Thishere, he tried to persuade this proud young ht Mercenary Group was not the best choice for her They lacked ht now they were living in the infamous Cyril’s Haunted House But alas, nomiss still did not listen to him This confirmed Old Hank’s belief of how proud and stubborn nobles could be Rhode was one clear exa ether Such a troublesome bunch!

If he could, Old Hank wanted to report this matter to Sereck and let him deal with it Presuer, but unfortunately, he was not in the Mercenary association these two days, so he could not find hie of this period when Sereck wasn’t in to force Old Hank to listen to her order

… why did you do it…</eine Sereck’s expression when he comes back and hears about the decision made by Marlene What kind of face would he show?

This was the sorrow of pitiful people like hirief-stricken inner ue, nor would he want to know it anyway It was a e to take the initiative to conore hiroup

But before that, he still needed to clear up a certain roup Ms Marlene”

Rhode’s expression became serious

“But I have so Rhode words, Marlene’s eyes flashed a trace of surprise She came here to acquire some real combat experience, but she did not expect that after she arriving in Deep Stone City, she becaed canary instead This caused Marlene to be quite unhappy Thus, after hearing about Rhode and his roup, Marlene found out that this was a perfect opportunity to escape froe

Now it seemed that she had succeeded

“First of all, since you’ve joined the roup, then you will be considered to be one of er

“As a subordinate, youanything Even if you want to go to the toilet, you must also report tothis, Marlene expression changed slightly But before she could say anything else, Rhode lifted up another finger

“Second, although you have joined our roup, we are not familiar with each other As such, I do not think that you can fully cooperate with us, so in the battle, you must completely obey my instructions You must do what I coround, even if the enemy is before you, you are not allowed to move!”

Rhode put down his hand

“These are my conditions If you can accept, then I welcoroup”

“And what if I don’t?”

At this moment, Marlene’s face was dark She clenched her teeth and asked in low voice

“I’ll have you leave immediately”

Rhode did not hesitate in his reply

“I needn’t emphasize further about the difficulty of this mission If you are unable to do as I say, then we are most likely to die there So, I must lower the possibility of accidents If you put us in a difficult situation, then for us, leaving you is a necessary choice”

When Rhode finished his explanation, the atmosphere inside the hall suddenly tensed up
