两男一女的双龙挺进

Captain Bofan\'s gaze lingered longest on the symbol. His eyes flashed with realization before he turned toward Reyes.

"A part of me always knew you people wouldn\'t kill a store owner for no reason," he stated flatly. "So it was their doing."

\'What do you take us for? Psychopaths?\' Reyes wanted to say, but instead he kept quiet, siltly observing the captain, who now had a thoughtful look on his face.

Captain Bofan clched his fists as old memories he had tried to bury began to resurface. As a military man, he had dealt with his fair share of threats from monster-class individuals. However, were as chilling as the Lich Court, a group of the most powerful necromancers.

With their legions of undead, they could reduce tire cities to ruins. Bofan had fought them several times, losing a significant portion of his squad each time. Hearing their involvemt soured his mood considerably.

He th turned to face the others, his expression grim. "We\'ll go to this location... but we\'ll need a foolproof plan. This could be a trap."

Fixing his gaze on Reyes, the blue-haired guild master of the Mavericks, Bofan added, "Reyes, do you have a plan? Your guild may only be Bronze-ranked, but you\'re in the top t of Valerian Kingdom, known for your strategy. I trust you\'ve got something in mind?"

Reyes wasn\'t sure if that was a complimt or a thinly veiled reminder to get the elemtal crystal at all cost–– the key to his guild\'s Silver-rank quest. Either way, he responded.

"Yes, I\'ve got a plan." His gaze swept across the room before he added, "But I\'ll need everyone\'s help, especially from Silvermist Guild and the Bladesong Academy studts."

"We\'ll cooperate!" Brolly lounged back, a loud thud echoing as his massive legs, twice the size of Nox\'s, hit the table. Impulsivess ran in his blood, and while it had solved many problems in the past, this one required strategy.

Critical thinking wasn\'t Brolly\'s strong suit, so he decided to let the others handle it. Of course, he had his own plans—plans to snatch the elemtal crystal wh the time came.

"We\'ll agree," the Silvermist Guild leader said coolly, adjusting her glasses and flicking her long, flowing black hair as she locked eyes with Reyes. They stared at each other for a momt before she sneered and turned away.

"Annoying... always annoying," she muttered under her breath.

Like the Mavericks, Silvermist was also a Bronze-ranked guild in Valerian Kingdom. The two were fierce rivals, both vying for the coveted Silver-rank.

"Now that the troublesome ones are settled, let\'s go through the plan." Reyes nodded toward Brolly and the Silvermist leader, both of whom shot him glares in response.

Ignoring them, Reyes stood up and began pacing as he laid out his strategy. The explanation lasted a solid thirty minutes, during which everyone listed inttly. The plan required absolute cooperation—one mistake, and the whole operation could crumble.

The Silvermist leader stared at Reyes with a complicated expression. For a brief momt, a glint of admiration flashed in her eyes. Despite their differces, she had to admit Reyes was a capable strategist. She would never say that out loud, though.

"Alright, th," Reyes said, slamming the desk. Everyone stood up. "Remember, we take out the elemtal beast first, and afterward, we can kill each other for the crystal. Understood?"

Everyone nodded. Reyes spoke of killing each other so casually, it sounded like any other topic of conversation.

With the plan in place, the various leaders returned to their groups to prepare. They aimed to reach the location specified in the letter as soon as possible.

Of course, of them knew that another group had received the letter a day earlier, giving them a significant advantage.

Meanwhile, back at the abandoned ship, the gold door oped in the middle of the shabby room. Nox stepped out, instantly feeling the stuffy air again. Compared to the fresh air of the other dimsion, filled with ocean breeze and trees, Coastal City\'s atmosphere felt stifling.

If only he could accidtally return to that dimsion. He would spd more time there with his pets, but that wasn\'t an option. Sometimes, Nox wondered if he would ever have that luxury.

Sighing, he waited for the door to disappear before leaving. Nox shivered slightly as he recalled the time a powerful demon had passed through the door. Though he had be half-conscious at the time, he had ssed that this demon was far stronger than Goliath, the second-ranked demon.

"Luckily, Mom was there to stop him in time." Nox smiled as the door finally faded away. He placed the dimsional key back into his invtory. Th, his fingers tinkered with the old rusty lock on the door, oping it.

"Hmm." His eyes immediately fell on something: a piece of parchmt lying on the g.
