At thisoutside the workshop Rhode knitted his brows and Lapis took two steps back in fear while Christie tugged onto Rhode’s sleeve and gazed at the door worriedly
Suddenly, Anne’s voice sounded “Who are you people? What are you doing here? Leave right now, or don’t blame me for whatever happens to you!”
Christie shi+vered and ain?” Rhode sulked and turned to Lapis “What’s going on? Did those people caused trouble here before?”
“This hat happened, Sir Rhode” Lapis hesitated for a roup of people came to the Fortress… I don’t knohere they heard about uild and what they want to do… But I heard from the Ocean Elves that they…” Lapis paused aardly
Rhode frowned and focused his attention on the words that Lapis had said “When was the last time they cao…”
“Did they enter the alchemy workshop?”
“N-No, Sir Rhode Thanks to the ed for protection, those people didn’t e to enter the alcheive up yet…”
“Did you inform Bubble and Canary?”
Rhode had always been the one headhunting and he didn’t expect that there would be people co to his turf to snatch his preciousRhode’s question, Lapis hesitated for a moment and shook her head hopelessly “Miss Bubble and Miss Canary have been busy and besides, those people only occasionally cause a fuss and didn’t do anything… So…”
Balance to Lapis and Christie before heading for the workshop exit Shortly after, Rhode saw Anne furiously standing in the round and created a large hole in the ground Standing before her was a dozenat her with disdain Rhode narrowed his eyes Those people weren’t wearing mercenary leather armor Instead, they were clad in a red and white striped uniforuys…
Rhode walked toward Anne slowly “Anne, what happened?”
“Ah, Leader, you’re finally here!” Anne turned to Rhode hurriedly and pointed angrily at the ! Anne has followed Leader’s instruction to stand guard at this place so nobody can enter But these people forced their way through here Anne didn’t allow them to enter and those bastards say that we’re a bunch of barbarians… Anne is furious!!”
Rhode turned to face the group of men Then, he let out a snort and lifted his chin “How interesting When did the Alchemist association learn to headhunt like a bunch of sneaky thieves?”
“You —!” Two of the ers and suddenly, a skinny ed man who appeared to be their leader extended his arolden-frausting s wolf The man let out a sneer and stepped forward leisurely with his hands behind his back He lifted his chin and looked at Rhode in conte man? You seem much easier to handle than your barbaric men Since you’re aware of e are, then I can tell you frankly… We, Alche potions for your guild is a wanted criminal who has escaped from our association Therefore, I, in the name of the Alchemist association, ask that you hand the person over immediately!”

“Scram,” a deep voice echoed in his ears
A shi+ storround struck his body like an iron hadoll and crashed heavily on the ground As he lifted his head ed beside hiainst his neck “I shall gracefully grant you three et out of my Fortress,” Rhode said with a calm expression and tone “I don’t care who you are You’re still nowhere near to behave atrociously in the Land of Atoneulped his saliva and glared at Rhode with gritted teeth “… And what if we don’t?”
The corner of Rhode’s mouth twitched “Then… all of you will stay here forever”
