Chapter 92: 091 What is a Hero? This is a Hero!

“Huh?”

At that moment, Shane almost thought he’d heard wrong.

What did he hear?

“Climb up using a woman?”

Shane was utterly baffled by the meaning of the statement.

Seeing his reaction, not only Vivian but also Tielle, Lu Muya, and even Merica’s expressions became somewhat peculiar.

...

“I know you’re surprised, but it’s true.”

Vivian still offered an explanation with a wry smile.

“Leon was not born into a noble family like Mr. Magre, not even a commoner, but a child born in the slums.”

According to Vivian, Leon’s parents were thieves, with numerous arrests and imprisonments; Leon himself had no outstanding talents, and at the age of twenty-five, his Level was only twenty-two, much lower than his peers.

Leon had long determined that he would never be able to rise above his station through his own abilities.

But paradoxically, Leon’s ambitions were not small; he didn’t just aspire to rise above others but wanted to be one of the elites, even a noble.

For this purpose, Leon leveraged the only advantage he’d had since birth—his “face.”

“It’s just hearsay, but I’ve heard that since he was young, Leon’s been pondering his image, not only using every possible method to maintain his appearance but also diligently practicing etiquette and social skills, and then constantly finding ways to get in contact with women in Lamijion who could be of help to him.”

By this point, even Vivian’s tone seemed somewhat strange.

“At first, it was about mingling with older women, relying on their support to get by.”

“Next, he sought out the affections of the richer merchants’ sisters or daughters to gain some financial support from them.”

“Then, Leon started to interact with some of the female adventurers and merchants’ daughters, enchanting them in various ways, winning their selfless devotion, and getting their assistance.”

“Under such circumstances, Leon was able to reach his current status. It’s said that the reason he passed the Adventurer’s entry test was that the captain of the team assessing him was a female adventurer who was quite fond of him. The equipment he wears was mostly provided by the women who were smitten with him. His choice to become an Adventurer was not to Level up or train but to earn as much money as possible and, by taking advantage of the Adventurer channels, to establish connections with high-status women.”

“Because of this, even many of the clients seemed to have fallen for him, providing him with various kinds of support, and sometimes even issuing commissions specifically for Leon through the Guild, with assignments so trivial they couldn’t get any smaller, yet the rewards were frighteningly high.”

“Thus, Leon finally established his own adventurer team and began finding every conceivable way to recruit and approach people who could be of help to him. Mr. Magre’s reason for joining his team is probably due to Leon’s initiative, but it seems that Leon’s real goal isn’t Mr. Magre but to use his relationship with Mr. Magre to get in touch with Mr. Magre’s sister…”

Vivian’s explanation caused Shane’s mouth to twitch uncontrollably.

Not just Shane, even Lu Muya and Merica, who had already heard some of Leon’s exploits, wore an indescribable look. If it were described in terms from his past life, it would be “seen it all.”

But it wasn’t over yet.

“Did you see that woman with him, named Udilis?” Tielle chimed in nonchalantly. “She is the only daughter of the largest Magic Tool Shop in Lamijion. She’s been smitten with that guy for two years now and even became an Adventurer just to be with him.”

This time, Shane’s eyelids started twitching.

So that’s what you’re saying, huh?

“That team, either they’re fanatics, pretty boys, or dumb sweethearts?”

Shane felt the image of the adventurer team in his mind was crumbling.

Especially when he remembered Leon’s elegant and handsome face that felt like a breath of spring, Shane never imagined that this team leader… no, this big shot had such tricks up his sleeve.

Compared to him, those toy boys kept by wealthy women in his previous life were simply weak, okay?

“Don’t tell me he’s set his sights on you guys as well?”

Shane looked at Vivian and the others with an unnervingly calm gaze.

The expressions on Vivian and the rest immediately became even more subtle.

Vivian even stuttered this sentence.

“After all, I grew up with Riley; it’s quite normal for him to want to get to know Riley through me. As for Tielle, he’s very optimistic about her future as she is a top talent of the Kingdom, so he has always been keen on cultivating a good relationship with her. Lu Muya and Merica have also caught his attention to some extent, probably looking to cast a wide net in the hopes of investing early in those who may rise to prominence.”

These words nearly made Shane spit blood.

Now, Shane only wanted to say one thing.

“What makes a Hero? This is a Hero!”

And it’s a Hero with a trash-tier start; truly an inspiration to fall down and worship.

At least, Shane was starting to feel that, as the current Hero, he was weak too.

However, more than that, Shane wanted to say,

“Is it really okay for such a team to take part in this mission?”

Even if that nouveau riche young master has some talent and a Level that’s not too low, the pretty boy team leader’s Level is much lower than the other people in the trade; as for the dumb sweetheart, since she’s a merchant’s daughter and became an Adventurer for such a nonsensical reason, her Level must not be too high either, right?

Naturally, Vivian didn’t think it was okay and was full of worries on the spot.

“Probably the highest Level in Leon’s team is Mr. Magre, but Leon’s team doesn’t just consist of those three; with Leon’s… um… abilities, his team has at least dozens of members. That’s why they can be one of the famous adventurer teams in Lamijion, recognized by Mr. Bellen.”

Vivian said this, but her face showed she couldn’t let it go at all.

“This task is entangled in many aspects; Leon and the others probably used some means to forcibly get involved, likely aiming for the accolades?”

This time, the escort was for a major criminal who plotted against numerous Nobles and members of the Royal Family ten years ago; succeeding in delivering him to the Royal Capital would surely lead to great rewards considering the Nobles’ and Royal Family’s grudge against Killian.

“I think it’s because of this that Mr. Magre’s father arranged for his son to join this mission, and Leon wouldn’t miss such an opportunity. If he can take the chance to establish a connection with the daughters of Great Nobles in the Royal Capital, he could be completely transformed.”

Vivian’s words prompted Shane to blurt out without a second thought,

“Sorry, I want to go back.”

This mission, it’s simply impossible to carry out.
