Chapter 235 Goodbye Lily
The debt is approximately 150 million. If it weren't for the Astrea Familia's good reputation and credibility, there would have been a group of creditors demanding payment at the door long ago.
The dividends of the Soma clan.
Roy instantly understood why the goddess Astraea had that expression; only as the vice-captain did he have the right to intervene in the Soma Familia.
More trouble is brewing. Roy scratched his head, thinking that Lily must have run into some trouble again.
"Daphne, Cassandra, take a break and come with me!" Roy put away the ledger and called out to the two in the monster horde.
"Yes, Commander!" the two replied.
Burn the heavens!
Roy drew his elven holy sword, activated its special effect, and instantly drained the energy within a radius of several kilometers.
Crimson flames erupted, causing the surrounding temperature to rise sharply and distorting the space itself.
boom!
With a gentle wave, Roy's long holy sword, wreathed in flames, transformed into a giant dragon, unleashing a deafening roar that swept across the battlefield, annihilating thousands of "Kabane".
Amidst desperate and agonizing screams, these zombie-like "Kabane" vanished into thin air.
Complete the main task and trigger a regression.
Looking at the land reduced to scorched earth, Daphne and Cassandra were stunned. The power of the sword the captain used had more than doubled!
Roy and his two companions returned to the Star Garden.
Upon seeing the murderous Roy, the goddess Astraea knew that someone else was about to suffer.
Astraea shook her head helplessly, straightened Roy's clothes, and said softly, "The people of Orario are very tense lately, don't make too much of a fuss."
"I know," Roy nodded.
The group arrived at the residence of the Soma Kinkaku.
The surrounding environment was suddenly refreshed. The trees on both sides of the road had been trimmed and looked beautiful and elegant. The warm sunlight shone in, making the space feel bright and open.
The two guards at the gate stood tall and proud, their spirit completely different from before.
"Halt! Who goes there?"
Just as Roy and his group were about to enter the Soma Familia, two guards stopped them with their spears crossed.
Roy was taken aback.
Daphne and Cassandra looked at the two guards with disbelief; it was unbelievable that there were still people in Orario who didn't know their leader.
"Get lost!"
"This is the residence of the Soma Kinkaku!"
Seeing Roy and his two companions frozen in place, the two guards became even more rude, reprimanding them repeatedly.
Roy was displeased with these words.
"What if I insist on going in?" Roy's face darkened, a cold smile curling at the corner of his mouth. He strode forward and walked into the Soma Familia.
"You can't understand human language, can you!"
Seeing this, the two guards became enraged, raised their spears, and thrust them fiercely at Roy.
Roy was too lazy to even bother with such small fry, giving them only a cursory glance.
Daphne and Cassandra rushed forward and, with a few punches and kicks, knocked the two guards to the ground. Don't be fooled by the fact that they were at the bottom of the Astrea Familia; they were still LV.2, which was higher than half of the adventurers in Orario!
Daphne and Cassandra were already annoyed that the two gatekeepers dared to speak rudely to Roy.
The two men never expected that the two delicate young girls in front of them would be so fierce in combat, completely overwhelming them in strength, speed, and reaction.
He was beaten black and blue.
Under Roy's leadership, the Astrea Familia's style leans towards Maximism. Daphne goes without saying, and even the seemingly weak Cassandra is ruthless when it comes to fighting, apologizing as she hits, which is quite endearing.
With his last breath, a security guard shouted, "Help! One of our brothers has been beaten!"
Rumble!
Since it was in the territory of the Soma Familia, the commotion immediately attracted a lot of people. Hundreds of people gathered around and surrounded him, holding weapons.
But not only Roy, but even Daphne and Cassandra showed no fear on their little faces, after they had previously defeated the entire Soma Familia.
"You brats, you're all dead!" another guard yelled, completely oblivious to the strange atmosphere around him.
There was a deathly silence; no one responded to them.
"Deputy Commander!"
When they saw that the people they were surrounded were Roy, some of the Soma Familia members were startled and straightened their backs like a bunch of greenhorn recruits.
Although several months have passed, the scene of Roy suppressing the Soma Familia is still vivid in my mind, and its lingering power remains.
A chorus of voices rang out.
The two guards felt as if they had been hit hard by a sledgehammer. They seemed to understand something and broke out in a cold sweat. The boy in front of them was the legendary Sprout of Justice, LV.4, and their vice leader.
Roy nodded slightly, his gaze sweeping over the crowd. A large portion of them were unfamiliar faces, indicating that the Soma Familia had recruited quite a few new members recently.
A year has passed since the war game of the Apollo Familia, and even new adventurers in Orario may not have seen him. The two guards were just unlucky ones.
"Where is Commander Lily?" Roy asked.
"Deputy Commander, please come with me." Immediately, someone jumped out and volunteered to be the guide.
The crowd parted to make way, and Roy strode in, not forgetting to joke, "The Soma Familia is doing well now. With such a powerful gatekeeper, everyone's safety is guaranteed from now on."
The little conflict at the door was just a minor incident for Roy, which he quickly forgot about.
Given his current status, it would be shameful for him to personally deal with such insignificant people. Sometimes, just a word or two would be enough to get countless people to do it for him.
Upon hearing Roy's sarcastic remarks, the members of the Soma Familia reacted differently. The newcomers were still indignant, while the veteran members were already pale and trembling.
"Are you blind? You dare to stop the deputy commander?"
Several elderly members of the family slapped the two newlyweds hard across the face, the crisp sound ringing out.
The two security guards' faces instantly turned red and swollen, like rubber balls, while the newlyweds around them trembled with fear.
But a hint of resentment lurked deep in the eyes of the newlyweds. What arrogance? This is the Soma Familia, not the Astrea Familia.
Boom!Boom!
With someone leading the way, Roy and his two companions arrived at Lily's office and gently knocked on the door.
"The door's unlocked, come in."
A childish voice came from inside.
When Roy pushed open the door, he almost thought he had come to the wrong place. There were mountains of documents and countless fast food boxes; it was no different from a garbage dump.
Let's look at the desk over there.
Lily kept her head down, still working, muttering some numbers to herself. She was so busy that she didn't even have time to look up. "Is this the trash? I've already tidied it up. You can take it."
Her small face was filled with deep fatigue and a hint of numbness, and her eyes, which had once shone with new color, had become dull and lifeless.
It works tirelessly, like a robot.
Roy said softly, "It's me."
Hearing the familiar voice, Lily's exhausted brain didn't even react immediately. She slowly looked up, her eyes reflecting Roy's face, and a look of surprise appeared on her small face. "Lord Roy!"
Lily was so excited she almost ran towards Roy, but smiled apologetically, "Lord Roy, please wait a moment, I need to finish what I'm doing."
Upon seeing Lily's appearance, Roy's desire to confront her vanished.
Roy stepped forward. "Take a break."
Lily stubbornly shook her head. "Lord Roy, no, the work needs to be finished as soon as possible, otherwise it will become more troublesome later on if it accumulates to a certain extent."
Seeing Lily grow into an independent, strong, and opinionated woman, Roy's eyes revealed a hint of admiration. But it was precisely because of this that he had to pull her back before she rushed off the cliff.
Roy held out his fists to Lily and laughed, "Let's play a game. Guess who loses. If you lose, you have to do what I say today."
Lily's little face lit up with interest. "The left side!"
Roy released his left hand, his palm empty. "You lost. Now I order you to rest."
Lily whispered, "Lord Roy is too domineering."
Roy extended his right fist. "But I'm kinder, I'll give you another chance."
Lily, of course, chose the other side, "The right side!"
Roy loosened his right fist, which was also empty.
"Lord Roy is cheating! There's nothing there!" Lily stared at Roy in astonishment.
"I just asked you to guess, I didn't say anything!" Roy spread his hands innocently.
Lily was both amused and exasperated; it turned out to be a word game.
Roy laughed and said, "Isn't it frustrating? That's life. Now that you've lost to me twice, you have to listen to me today and tomorrow. You can't disobey me."
Watching Roy tease Lily, Daphne and Cassandra couldn't help but laugh, their shoulders shaking.
Lily blushed and lowered her head, wishing there was a crack in the ground she could disappear into. She hadn't even seen through something so simple. Compared to a seasoned veteran like Roy, she was as innocent as a little white rabbit.
Lily had no choice but to leave her workstation and go to the rest area, which was much more spacious than the cramped room.
Roy brewed a cup of green tea and pushed it over.
Lily held the teacup in her two small hands, taking small sips of the fragrant tea. The warm liquid slid down her throat, leaving a sweet aftertaste that lingered on her lips and teeth. She couldn't help but squint her eyes, her face filled with happiness.
Even their tea-making skills are so amazing; it's as if they're omnipotent. Lily's eyes lit up.
Roy asked, "How's the clan doing lately?"
Lily said, "Lord Roy, very good. The last batch of divine wine sold for 170 million falies, and more than thirty gods attended—"
Lily took this liquor-selling business very seriously, speaking fluently and logically, after all, it was Roy who entrusted it to her.
"We also sold 90 million Fali on the black market, and the Astrea Familia's dividend this month is 60 million, Lord Roy," Lily said happily, like a child who wanted to be praised.
Roy paused slightly as he poured the tea. "That's strange. We only received 200,000 falies."
The atmosphere in the rest area was solemn and quiet.
Lily's face turned pale. "Impossible! I always allocate the Astrea Familia's share of the profits immediately, Lord Roy, please believe me!"
Lily was afraid that Roy would misunderstand, and tears welled up in her eyes. Roy had rescued her from despair and was her pillar of support. He held a higher place in her heart than the Soma Familia or the Soma God.
