I opened an adventurer's guild in another world.

After Anno instantly counterattacked and killed Sheila, the audience fell silent for a moment, and even the fight in ring number 2 temporarily stopped.

"A death... there's someone dead in arena number one!"

"The match is already over, so why is the Blood Wolf Knight still trying to kill the Wind Blade Mage?"

"Don't talk nonsense if you don't understand. It was clearly that the Wind Blade Mage who, after losing, acted unethically, ambushed the Blood Wolf Knight, and even tried to kill him, which is why the Blood Wolf Knight retaliated and killed him!"

Wind magic is invisible, and ordinary people have no idea that it was Sheila who made the first move.

However, the professionals all sensed that after losing, Sheila violated the rules of the game and launched a sneak attack on Anno.

"A sneak attack?"

"That's right, it was the Windblade Mage who struck first."

"Hmph, the Blood Wolf Knight held back multiple times during the match, and the Wind Blade Mage not only showed no gratitude but also did something like this. He deserves to die!"

Why did Hillary do that?

"I remember that Sheila seems to be from Viscount Raphael's household in Hel City. Is there any possibility that..." He paused mid-sentence, then gestured with his eyes to Sally and her group, who were leaving with dark expressions not far away.

Those around looked over and suddenly realized what was going on.

In their view, it was highly likely that Sheila's attack on Anne was ordered by someone above.

Otherwise, Sheila wouldn't have been able to launch a sneak attack and kill him.

In the previous matches, Sheila had been quite friendly.

"Could it be that the Blood Wolf Knights have offended the Viscount Raphael family?"

"Probably!"

"They've actually offended a noble family, and now An has publicly killed a professional trained by the Raphael family. The conflict has escalated, and the trouble is bound to be significant."

"Didn't the Blood Wolf Knight join Guild Master Anno? Anno should be able to protect the Blood Wolf Knight, right?"

"Who knows!"

On the arena.

The referee glanced at Sheila, who was now in several pieces, walked to the edge of the ring, and called the priest up.

The priest quickly came to Sasser's side and began to treat Sasser, who had returned to her normal size.

"An, do you need treatment?"

The referee glanced at Anno and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, that was my oversight!"

In his opinion, if Anno hadn't reacted quickly, it would definitely be Anno lying on the ground right now.

What's the point of disqualifying Sheila if she's already dead?

"I'm fine!"

Anno waved his hand.

This fifth-level referee is Tester's man.

During the preliminary selection, Tester had to ask the old king for "support" for hundreds of intermediate judges—the lower-level ones were fine, but Tester didn't have many intermediate experts around him.

There are only two arenas now, and Tester has arranged for his own people to be there.

After the treatment was completed, Anno led Sassi away.

The referee, with a serious expression, reiterated the rules on the stage and then recounted what had just happened to everyone.

In this way, everyone in the martial arts arena knew that Sheila had struck first.

Before long, a squad of guards arrived and packed up the dismembered bodies on the arena and took them away.

The game continues!

There were fewer than eighty participants in the fourth stage.

After winning two consecutive games, Anno has secured a place in the top 20.

The next match is Anno's battle for a top-ten ranking.

The match was held in the afternoon.

Around noon, everyone went out for lunch.

As soon as Anuo and Xue Feibai stepped out of the guild hall, they were blocked by a group of knights who were guarding the entrance.

Upon seeing the insignia on the enemy's armor, Anno immediately realized what was going on.

These are members of the Raphael family.

As expected, the knights automatically made way for a tall and beautiful figure.

Anno raised an eyebrow and smiled, "Miss Raphael, what brings you here?"

"My name is Sally, Sally Raphael!"

Sally glanced at Sasser, who was following behind Anno, then walked up to Anno, her eyes wide, and said, "You stole my mount! This isn't over!"

"Waaaaah~~~"

Upon hearing Sally's words, Sassi immediately bared her fangs at her, looking as if she was about to attack.

Things are different now than they were back then.

Sassi didn't want Anno to mistakenly think that she was still entangled with Sally.

She wanted to state her position immediately.

One day, it was the master's mount.

Anno's wolf for life!

"Miss Sally, are you saying that my Sarsil was stolen from you?"

Anno shrugged and said, "You can't just make things up!"

"Do you think I can just spout off like that?"

Sally's lips curled into a contemptuous smile as she lowered her voice and threatened, "Don't think you're something special just because you have the title of Blood Wolf Knight."

In the eyes of the nobles, you are just an ordinary person with slightly more strength.

I have plenty of ways to deal with you.

Those who know what's good for them will return it!

Otherwise, you'll be stuck in the royal city for the rest of your life, under the protection of the Adventurers' Guild Master!

"Pfft~!"

After Sally finished making her threat, Anno and the others around her, including Ruth and Xue Feibai, all had strange expressions, as if they were trying not to laugh.

Sally frowned slightly, feeling as if she had been underestimated.

"What are you laughing at? I'm serious! Anne, if you hadn't joined the Adventurers' Guild, even if you were in the royal city, the Raphael family would have had plenty of ways to make you disappear!"

"Hahaha......"

Xue Feibai couldn't hold back any longer and burst into laughter while slapping his thigh.

Lu Zhishang covered the upper half of his face with his hand, his mouth wide open in a grin.

Listen to what that's saying!

If it weren't for Anno's sake, I would have taken action against 'Anno'!

Should Anno be overjoyed or afraid?

"Xue Feibai, Lu Zhishang! What are you laughing at?"

Sally was really angry this time.

She hadn't expected the Adventurers' Guild to disregard her like this.

How dare they treat her threats as a joke!

Xue Feibai immediately stopped smiling, biting his finger and replying, "Uh, ah...no, I just remembered something happy!"

"Vice President Lu, what are you laughing at again?"

Lu Zhishang rubbed his face and said seriously, "I also remembered something happy!"

"Ho~, I'd like to know, what's made the two vice presidents so happy?"

"Click!"

Anno quickly drew Sally's attention back.

If this doesn't stop, things could very well escalate into something like "Schrödinger's policeman".

"Um, Miss Sally, it's like this."

Looking at the onlookers, Anno whispered to Sally, "As far as I know, Viscount Raphael is also a noble, and our... Guild Master Anno and the Third Prince are partners."

I hope you will carefully consider the pros and cons before you do anything.

It's best to avoid things like today from happening again!

Sally got furious immediately after hearing that.

"Damn thief, are you trying to teach me how to do things?"
