After leaving the team, the adventurer ladies regretted it deeply

The chubby boy's aura of prosperity dazzled the maids serving wine,leaving them completely mesmerized.

"This is young master Pick from the Zijing Stone Family, the future heir! Mind your manners!"

A young man about the height of the chubby boy, with buckteeth, jumped out and snarled menacingly, "Are you not going to apologize to Young Master Pick immediately?"

Lin Da glanced at the two of them.

The bucktooth boy, level 3, and the chubby boy, level 5, were the type who might not even be able to defeat a slime.

Lin Da, "I think it's you who should apologize."

"You bastard..."

Before the bucktooth boy could finish, he was slapped across the face by young master Pick, "How dare you curse in front of my goddess? Get lost, I don't need a follower like you!"

Afterward, Pick's belly quivered timidly, and with a full-faced smile, he walked towards Aiko.

"Do you know each other?"

Lin Da thought, could this be someone Aiko knows?

Turning his head, he saw Aiko's puzzled expression, clearly not recognizing Pick.

At that moment, Lin Da suddenly noticed a plastic figurine in Pick's pocket, its head sticking out, resembling Aiko quite a bit.

Was it... a figurine modeled after Aiko?

Lin Da was immediately embarrassed on the spot; this person seemed to be a fan of Aiko!

"Being too famous as an adventurer is also not good, it makes you a target for creeps. Rich people can find their own sculptors to commission figurines. If it were some ultimate true love warriors, they probably would break down!"

Lucky for Lin Da, he was normal and didn't feel cuckolded by this.

"Ugh... Disgusting." Aiko also noticed the figurine in the chubby boy's pocket, covering her mouth with disgust, as if looking at a large piece of trash.

"No, it's not like that!" Pick's face changed dramatically, hurriedly explaining, "I just missed you so much, Aiko. Every day you were gone, I prayed to the Goddess, hoping you would return to South Rock City. I absolutely did nothing strange with this figurine; I just worshiped it at home as a statue of the Goddess!"

A statue of the Goddess? Was he trying to dig himself into a deeper hole?

Aiko's face turned livid with anger, comparing her to the World Tree Goddess was practically wishing her to be thrown in prison!

"So tell me, who exactly is this disgusting piece of big trash!"

Aiko unleashed a blast of Light Magic Power, pushing Pick three meters away and, in the process, reaching into his pocket to retrieve the figurine.

Crack.

Aiko exerted force with her palm, shattering the figurine into pieces.

"No!"

A wail erupted.

Pick clutched his head, staring blankly at the shards on the ground as if they were a house a worker had bought with his life savings, destroyed in a massive fire.

"Captain Lorrace's son, still the same as ever, a wastrel."

"Training for over a decade, level 5, such a piece of trash might as well be thrown in the trash can with the toilet paper."

"You really have to admire Captain Lorrace. His son's a good-for-nothing, yet he still dotes on him, even...hehehehe."

The onlookers all wore mocking expressions.

Pick knelt on the ground, clutching the shattered figurine, mourning, "Aiko, have you forgotten? I am 'Little Shar Pei' Pick, the Pick who used to be bullied by you in kindergarten!"

At these words, Aiko finally had a glimmer of recollection.

"It's been too long, I kind of forgot."

Aiko's face was expressionless, "Please stop thinking about me from now on. I already belong to someone else as an Oath-bound. Go pine over someone else and avoid throwing yourself off a building due to Yu Yu's disease."

"What... What?"

Pick felt as if thunder had struck him.

For every guest in the hall, it was as if thunder roared in their ears.

Considering the intimate actions Lin Da had just shown Aiko, the truth was almost self-evident.

"You bastard, get away from Aiko right now! My father said that I am Aiko's Oath-bound!" Pick cried out, pointing at Lin Da's nose, "Dare to cuck me, and you're dead."

"Bullshit!"

Lin Da was initially quite amiable, willing to forgive the chubby boy.

But since the other party was unrepentantly foolish, it was truly like poking a giant dragon with a toothpick, blatantly seeking death.

Lin Da moved like lightning, and all people saw was a blur passing by, then with a smack, Pick, spinning like a top, flew ten meters away, slamming into a table laden with food.

Crack, crash...!

Plates, cutlery, and wine glasses all fell and shattered, and the wooden table could not bear the weight of Pick, breaking in two.

"Ouch..."

The chubby boy, covered in blood, lay on the ground unable to get up, and shouted, "You dirty adventurer, how dare you hit me? Do you know who my father is?"

"So what if I hit you?"

Lin Da's figure flickered again and appeared in front of Pick.

Under Pick's fearful gaze, Lin Da spoke coldly, "Even if your father were here, this slap would not miss."

Slap!

Lin Da's right palm harshly struck Pick's chubby face.

For a moment, flesh rippled like water, and features twisted out of shape.

"Waaah!"

Amidst the screams, Pick was sent flying six meters, hitting a wall, his head bleeding profusely.

After all, Lin Da had held back, otherwise, he could have killed the level 5 Pick with just a breath.

"You, you..."

"What 'you, you'?" Lin Da walked up to the chubby boy and said indifferently.

"Nothing."

Pick lowered his head, trembling and dared not speak.

At this moment, all the guests in the hall were as if petrified, their eyes filled with shock.

In the territory of South Rock City, daring to beat up one of the top three Sunrise Level, the son of the Zijing Stone Family head, took real guts.

Some secretly sneered at Lin Da's arrogance, while others felt it was wildly satisfying. The little fatty Pick always bullied others with his buckteeth and followers, acting high and mighty. Being just level 5, yet making these level 30 people fawn over him, they longed for someone to teach Pick a lesson.

Seeing Pick's terrified and trembling figure looked like he was constipated for three days and then finally relieved, unbelievably satisfying.

"Don't beat him to death."

Aiko pulled on Lin Da, worried about causing trouble, and whispered, "Let's go out and avoid this for now, wait until the meeting upstairs is over, then come back."

This indeed was a good measure.

However, Lin Da had a fire in his heart and actually wanted to see if anyone dared to stand up for the little fatty.

When he was Iron Level, Lin Da had a respectful fear for the top power of South Rock City.

Now, he was the top current himself as a Phoenix Tail Flower.

At Lin Da's current status, every action represented more than just himself; his backing down would be tantamount to admitting that White Dove City was inferior to South Rock City.

Stepping back further, if Lorrace's Zijing Stone Family and Phoenix Tail Flower went to war, it was uncertain who would come out on top.

Lin Da and Lulu had Legendary Weapons, Anna was a Five-star Character, and the other team members also had formidable combat strengths.

The numbers were few, but the quality was high.

It was a good opportunity to assert his authority.

Lin Da gently held Aiko's hand, spoke firmly, "No need, we'll just stay right here, wait for Captain Rochelle's meeting to end!"

As if nothing had happened, Lin Da boldly went back to his table, poured a glass of juice, and moistened his throat.

His arrogant demeanor immediately ignited the public outrage of the adventurers of South Rock City.

"To hit someone and still dare to stay, do you really think we're easy to bully?"

"Although it's satisfying that Pick got what he deserved, it doesn't mean, you, an adventurer from White Dove City, can do whatever you please."

"Where are the Zijing Stone's crew, come and deliver some justice!"

The people in the hall looked at each other, each hoping someone else would teach Lin Da a lesson.

After looking around, they awkwardly realized...

None of them could match Lin Da.

The few at Moon Rank were level 40.

They all knew too well that Lin Da's rating had reached Nine Stars in the Adventurer's Weekly; fighting such a monster required level suppression.

In the fight between Lin Da and [Power King] Slo, both were nearly the same level, yet Slo was defeated in five moves by Lin Da.

Thus, the adventurers of South Rock City, though fiercely vocal, faced the calmly juice-drinking Lin Da with eyes full of fear, none daring to advance even half a step.
