Chapter 91: 090 looked down upon?

“Are you okay now, Merica?”

As everyone scattered to make preparations for departure, Vivian also gathered her team by the side of a carriage in a corner, gently asking Merica.

“I’m fine, thank you, Sister Vivian.”

Merica shook her head and managed a smile for everyone, but it was clearly forced.

“I didn’t expect things to turn out this way.”

Displeasure saturated Tielle’s tone, making it obvious she had an absolute dislike for the arrival of Leon’s team.

...

“I really want to go home…”

Lu Muya even murmured such words half crying, reflecting the immense pressure she felt.

Shane felt his curiosity was about to peak.

“What? Do you guys have a grudge against them?”

Shane was not particularly cultured and asked everyone directly out of curiosity.

Their expressions turned somewhat indescribable.

In the end, it was Vivian who answered for them.

“It’s not exactly a grudge,” she said, sighing repeatedly. “But there is some tension between our team and theirs, that’s true.”

“I thought so,” Shane shrugged. “Not to mention anything else, that nouveau riche young master looks quite familiar with all of you. His eyes were practically glued to Merica.”

“Ugh…” Merica was left speechless and lowered her head, almost on the verge of tears.

Tielle’s tone grew colder as she said, “It seems he hasn’t given up on Merica.”

It was glaringly obvious.

Vivian patted Merica on the head as a sign of comfort, also directing her gaze to Shane, “That Mr. Magre had spent about half a month in our team when he first became an adventurer and hadn’t passed the assessment yet.”

With one sentence, Shane understood everything.

He remembered that when Tielle, Lu Muya, and Merica were overly wary of him, Vivian had once said something like this to him.

“In the past, our team also joined several male adventurers arranged by the adventurer’s guild, and some of them took advantage of camping at night…”

By now, there was no need to think twice; it was clear what Vivian’s Team had gone through after joining the male adventurers arranged by the guild.

It was an experience that was certainly not pleasant for women.

Magre had once been a newcomer in Vivian’s Team for about half a month, but the assessment for new adventurers was clearly one month, so why had he only been with Vivian’s Team for half a month?

The reason was simple.

“That year, Mr. Magre was also highly regarded amongst the newcomers in the Lamijion Adventurer Guild, with great talent and potential. He was Level 20 at the age of fifteen, and even Riley had a lot of expectations for him, so she arranged for him to be placed in my team for guidance.”

Vivian softly explained the reason behind it.

“Although that young master is impulsive and reckless, and too arrogant, often looking down on others, he originally had no worries about food and clothing and didn’t need to become an adventurer. But with the ambition to improve himself, to strive and increase his own strength, he became an adventurer in the Lamijion Adventurer Guild.”

“”

In other words, although this young master has some character issues, he has not been neglecting his duties. Instead, he is a hard worker who strives for improvement and is likely seen as a promising seedling by many.

Perhaps Riley thought that by placing him in Vivian’s Team, she could correct Magre’s character flaws and make him into someone of worth.

However…

“Once that young master joined our team and laid eyes on Merica, he hardly looked away. Not only did he court Merica incessantly during our adventures, but he also tried too hard to show off in front of her, often losing sight of our main objectives, and focused his actions around Merica. He even stalked Merica in private, sent her gifts, and eventually found the inn where she stayed, sneaking into her room multiple times.”

Vivian’s explanation made Shane blink.

“Isn’t that just like an obsessed fan?”

Shane was speechless.

Under such circumstances, it was not hard to imagine what unforgivable actions the young master would eventually take.

“During a camping trip on one of our adventures, while the rest of us went out to gather firewood, he couldn’t resist and took advantage of Merica.”

At this point, Vivian’s tone became somewhat colder.

“If… If it hadn’t been for Tielle patrolling around the campsite, noticing what was happening, and stopping him in time, Merica would have definitely been harmed.”

Even Lu Muya, the shy Beastman girl, couldn’t hold back a comment, obviously very upset by the incident.

Merica’s head hung even lower, visibly trembling as if remembering the incident.

Seeing this, Shane finally frowned.

“Why would someone like that still be allowed to stay in the guild?” Shane asked bluntly. “With such indecent behavior, is Riley really letting him off just because he has talent?”

Shane’s opinion of Riley would surely plummet greatly.

But the one to answer this question wasn’t Vivian, it was Tielle.

“That guy is no ordinary person; he’s a Noble.” Tielle spoke coldly. “His father is a vassal of Marquis Mula, who came to this town with Mr. Bellen when the latter was assigned to Lamijion, having status and position second only to Mr. Bellen.”

Meaning, it was only because his family pleaded on his behalf that Magre was allowed to continue in the adventurer’s guild.

Even so, Magre was kicked out of Vivian’s Team and was forbidden to approach Merica.

“I see,” Shane mused. “So, the young master joined the team of that person named Leon?”

“That’s right.” Vivian nodded. “Leon accepted the young master and passed him through the rookie evaluation.”

“And what’s the deal with this Leon?” Shane asked curiously. “Why does it seem like none of you have a good impression of him? Is he some kind of bad guy?”

Nobody answered immediately.

“This…” Vivian hesitated, finally saying with a wry smile, “It’s not that he’s a bad person, but honestly, to those who know of his deeds, Leon is very much looked down upon.”

“Looked down upon?” Shane raised an eyebrow.

What was that about?

As Shane was pondering this, Vivian offered the following:

“Because he is a man who climbed the ranks by relying on women.”
