Hellbents
Chapter 71: Target
"Did you see it?" Yong said heavily, still sitting in his position. His eyes were keenly watching the movements in the arena from the beginning of the duel.
"The girl has no foundation, although it looks effective, her movement patterns are unpredictable," Rai retorted as seriously.
"That means, Rina learned to fight self-taught and experienced."
"That's why he's more flexible in dealing with opponents."
"Right, the girl adapted and progressed every second of the duel."
The chairman and deputy glanced at each other, then nodded. Canthan was a respectable guild that held the top position in the world ranking, so they were not careless when recruiting members. It had been more than a week that Hao pressured the two to immediately make Rina a part of them. But the popularity in one incident is not enough to convince them, especially if only relying on stories or rumors that can be exaggerated. They need proof.
"For the first time, Hao gave useful advice." Yong missed the sour tone of Rai's statement, already used to the man's dislike towards his sister. "But we have to revise the contract first." Initially they only intended to make an exclusive agreement with Rina to become a drug provider, seeing the efficacy of the healing ointment that she sold as stock on the ship. But now they are convinced, unanimous with the decision to bind Rina as an official member of the Canthan guild.
"The sooner the better, I'm sure many more people will witness the woman's abilities."

"Read me," Ellijah said with a tightened jaw.
"Gu Hao's. The youngest son of the Gu family was dubbed the genius of the century for his sword skills as well as his ambition. It had played a significant role in the missions that the Canthan Guild had given him. In connection with Miss Weinhamer, there are witnesses who claim that Gu Hao had proposed to the Princess in public," Tuuq, Ellijah's loyal servant, delivered the sentence smoothly. Although it seemed that his master was not so happy with the information he provided.
"Applying," Ellijah also gushed furiously, fortunately the soundproofing artifacts they installed made the people around them not hear anything. "How dare he." Although his body trembled beaveringly and hot, his head remained cold, thinking of punishment. The spectacle was still visible, even burning in the retina of his eye. Eve and Hao were too close, even his fiancee placed the bastard man right under her auspices.
Was Hao the jerk who prevented Eve from coming home all this time?
Is it because she Ellijah is still unforgivable despite beheading the shameless woman who claims I am pregnant with her child?
So the fucker is the culprit?
If Hao disappeared, wouldn't Eve immediately return to the palace?
If Hao disappeared, Eve would be in his arms again, for sure.
If Hao disappears, his relationship with Eve will return to its original state.
Right, Hao should disappear.
Suddenly Ellijah coughed so badly that her throat felt closed, her head was also dizzy and throbbing. The half-hearted breakfast he ate was threatened to come out on the bleachers he sat on.
It was only three days that he no longer consumed opium, but his withdrawal symptoms had already appeared.
"It's better for you to rest first for now" Tuuq suggested.
Ellijah did not want to move on and lost a figure that for three months he had never seen, but his servant was right, he needed a break. But his anger has not yet subsided.
"Call the Crow army."
"Good, Sir."
Ellijah will remove Hao from the narrative.
