At the same time, in the same city, S.K.Y. and Taurus were seated opposite each other in the Adventurers' Guild, both beaming with satisfaction. Their guild, [Death of Love], had become one of the top ten guilds in Cathay, famous for its strength and ranking in the top three.Finnd new chapters at novelhall.com
The success was largely due to Taurus' financial backing, which enabled them to recruit a multitude of talented players. Now, the guild boasted 12,000 members, including 500 core members who were elite players and employees of Fortune 500 companies, each earning a substantial monthly salary.
In addition, the guild had 6,000 second-rate members and 5,500 third-rate members who were essentially cannon fodder. Despite this impressive roster, they were still short of their recruitment target, and continued their efforts with posters and online forums.
The investment from Patriarch Zhang ensured that money was not an issue for their endeavors. Their association with the Direct army further facilitated their success in Jade City.
They were eagerly anticipating the execution of their plan to eliminate the Black-hearted Princess, expecting to gain artifacts, unique equipment crates, rare equipment, and numerous other items.
After their celebration, Taurus suddenly asked S.K.Y., "Should we report to Lord Blei about Black-hearted Princess and the succubus working together? To annoy her?" They recalled a past incident at the city gates where Black-hearted Princess mocked them, and they were chased away by the girls in her guild. This memory still harbored resentment in them. Unfortunately, as average players, they had no authority to lodge a complaint, so Black-hearted Princess had remained unscathed until now.
At this point, they realized they needed to take action themselves to make their higher-ups believe the rumor, even though they lacked concrete evidence. Sometimes, evidence wasn't necessary to convict someone, especially someone like Black-hearted Princess, who was considered a public enemy.
However, their success hinged on gaining the trust of their superiors. Fortunately for S.K.Y. and Taurus, they had been scouted by Emperor Richard and assigned to serve Blei, who valued them more than typical subordinates. This position gave them a potential advantage in their quest to trouble Black-hearted Princess.
"Princess, I'm good!" Aurora declared excitedly, clenching her fists as she looked at Yaeger. The feeling of robust health was exhilarating.
"That's good to know," Yaeger responded with a light nod, acknowledging the benefits she had gained from healing Aurora. It had reinforced the value of her medical skills. ‘I have studied Transcendents, Martial Artists, and someone from another world. Now I only need normal people. Where can I find a normal person to study?' she pondered. Her first thought was gangsters from the Small Sword Group, but that option was no longer viable.
‘Why don't I find a terminally ill patient from the hospital... Forget it. Let's not do anything too shocking,' Yaeger thought, considering the potential consequences. Curing such a patient could attract unwanted attention and complications. ‘It seems like a plan, but it's still risky enough,' she mused, weighing her options against the backdrop of a rapidly awakening Earth.
‘Forget it, let's worry about real life once I'm not in the game,' she decided. Turning to Aurora and Fiat, she instructed, "Don't tell anyone that I cured Aurora. If people ask, just say it was divine intervention."
"This... How can this be? It was clearly you who cured me, Princess!" Aurora protested, pinching her skirt anxiously. She was naive and didn't grasp the deeper implications.
Fiat, on the other hand, understood the situation better. He knew that if word got out, [Princess] would likely face significant trouble. The sudden recovery of a long-term bedridden patient could cause a stir in Jade City.
"It would be very troublesome for me if people knew," Yaeger explained, gently stroking Aurora's head.
Realizing the gravity of the situation, Aurora's expression grew pale. "So, let the divines take credit. Although you might not like the divines that much," Yaeger said softly.
Aurora didn't deny her dislike for the divine. If there were a truly omnipotent and omniscient God, she wondered why she had suffered so much. ‘If there must be a divine in this world, then Princess will be my only God,' she thought, gazing at Yaeger with a newfound reverence.
