I opened an adventurer's guild in another world.

How did he know my full name?

Steinbeck's forehead was instantly covered in a layer of sweat.

"President Anno, my name is Steinbeck Levy, you've got the wrong name."

Unlike his earlier indignation, Steinbeck now only wanted to sever his ties with England.

As a former direct descendant of the England family, he has now created a large mercenary group in the royal city of Nigar.

If this matter were to be exposed, it could potentially cause a diplomatic dispute.

If they were mistaken for members of the Ingham family sent out to engage in espionage, the Ingham family would be in big trouble.

In reality, Steinbeck had no contact with the family since he was expelled from the England family.

He worked hard for more than a decade to get to where he is now, and he has never engaged in espionage.

The key point is that most people who learn this news will probably think he is a spy.

Including Anno now.

Upon seeing Steinbeck's full name, Anno immediately realized that the man was a pawn planted in the Kingdom of Nigar by the Englandm family.

"Did I call you by the wrong name?"

Anno glanced at the mercenaries behind Steinbeck.

Seeing this, Steinbeck gritted his teeth and said, "You guys step back first. I need to talk to Chairman Anno about something."

"Commander! We..."

"Step back!"

"yes!"

When Steinbeck's trusted men left, they still looked at him with worried expressions.

Everyone could tell that Anno had come with ill intentions.

They were very worried that Anno would harm his own leader.

"President Anno, are you sure you haven't mistaken me for someone else?"

Steinbeck still tried to argue his case.

But Anno smiled and said loudly, "Mrs. Sonny, it's been a long time. Now that you knew I was coming, why did you hide?"

Upon hearing this, Steinbeck looked as if he had seen a ghost.

How does this guy even know that Sony is here?

The room was quiet for a moment, then Sony came out of the cubicle, looking at Anno with a puzzled expression, and asked, "How did you know I was here?"

"I knew all along that Duke Howell would never lay a hand on you."

Anno pretended to sniff and said, "I've always remembered the lady's scent."

In fact, Anno had already spotted Sony after entering the room and using [X-ray vision] to survey the surroundings.

Anno's somewhat explicit words made Sony blush slightly.

Steinbeck, on the other hand, looked completely bewildered.

What exactly happened between my niece and Anuo? Why is her face red?

However, with both members of the England family together at the moment, it was difficult for Anno not to suspect Steinbeck.

"Commander Steinbeck, I know that the mercenaries are very dissatisfied with the adventurers."

Their livelihoods were taken away, and they wished all adventurers would disappear.

But I will not let anyone who dares to attack adventurers get away with it.

If you were involved, I hope you will tell me now, and not wait until I have collected all the evidence before you admit your mistake.

If you weren't involved, find out who was.

Then disband the Purple Gold Flower Mercenary Group and return to Purple Gold Orchid City.

I'm only giving you three days!

"Anno, you've misunderstood..."

Hearing Anno's somewhat cold tone, Sony quickly stepped forward to explain that he and Steinbeck had both been expelled from England.

Anno waved his hand, interrupting Sony.

"I have no interest in what you're saying. Prince Tester, the third prince of the kingdom, is my friend. Whether it's a misunderstanding or not, your identities dictate that the Purple Gold Flower Mercenary Group should not be present in Sodar."

Anno said to Steinbeck, "Three days is also your deadline to disband the Purple Gold Flower Mercenary Group. You can no longer even exist under the name of the Purple Gold Flower Adventurer Group, understand?"

Ever since Anno entered the reception room, Steinbeck felt immense pressure from the young man.

They were completely led by the nose by Anno.

It was as if the other person could see right through me.

How could Steinbeck possibly agree to dismantle his hard work of more than ten years with just a few words?

But what can you do if you don't want to?

They never knew when the other party would have access to their weaknesses.

Once exposed, the next person to force him to disband might be Sodar's royal guards.

"President Anno, I want to know, how exactly did you discover my identity? Was it just because Sony was here?"

Even though Steinbeck had already resigned himself to his fate, he couldn't help but ask the question.

The secret that had gone undiscovered for over a decade was exposed the moment Anno met him.

I feel really uncomfortable.

But Anno simply gave a mysterious smile and said, "Nothing can be hidden from me."

Anno then got up and left.

As soon as the door to the reception room was opened, two large knives came slashing at it.

However, Anno seemed to know in advance that someone was lying in ambush, and he drew his Dragon Scorpion Tail Cannon Sword to block the attacks.

Clang.

Several weapons forged from fine steel shattered instantly upon colliding with the Dragon Scorpion Tail Cannon Sword.

"What are you doing?"

It wasn't Anno who asked that question, but Steinbeck.

This wasn't his arrangement.

"Commander, we all heard it. Anno wants you to disband the Purple Gold Flower, leaving us no way out at all."

"Exactly! We've all followed our leader all this way. The Purple Gold Flower troupe is the result of our collective efforts; why should he disband us with just a word!"

"At worst, we'll fight him. Anyway, all his summoned creatures are outside."

As they spoke, these people rushed forward again.

"Stop! Stop it now!"

They were unaware of Anno's fighting prowess, but Sony had experienced it firsthand.

However, the sound from Sony suddenly stopped a second later.

The mercenaries who were about to rush towards Anno also stopped in their tracks.

"Why did you stop?"

Anno planted the demon sword on the ground and looked at the people in front of him with a playful expression.

Ahead of him, Liz and Sassi faced several mercenaries, emanating sixth-tier magical energy fluctuations.

The courtyard outside the gate was even more crowded with all sorts of Tier 6 summoned creatures.

"Are those outside just part of the summoned creatures?"

One of the sixth-tier mercenaries looked at the huge pincers that had him caught, and cold sweat instantly soaked his entire body.

He had a premonition that if the scorpion-like monster in front of him squeezed hard, he would be split in two.

"President Anno, it's a misunderstanding, all a misunderstanding!"

Steinbeck rushed to Anno and begged for mercy for his old comrades.

Seeing that Anno remained unmoved, he gritted his teeth and said, "We will find out who poisoned the adventurers within three days and then disband the Purple Gold Flower Mercenary Group."

"Thank you for your trouble!"

Anno smiled.

All the summoned creatures in the courtyard have also disappeared.

The mercenaries, who had just escaped death, all collapsed to the ground, panting heavily.

"Hurry up and thank Chairman Anuo for sparing your life!"

Steinbeck realized at this moment that he had no power to go against Anno, so he urged his subordinates to apologize to Anno to prevent Anno from holding a grudge and taking revenge in private.

The group exchanged glances, then simultaneously knelt before Anno, saying, "President Anno... we... we're sorry!"

"Time is of the essence, so I won't disturb your investigation any longer."

Anno ignored the mercenaries, left a message, and departed with Liz.

Sony wanted to follow suit, but ultimately held back.

"He seems to have other things to do right now. Let's talk to him about that matter at the Adventurers' Guild later."

......

"Master, where do we go next?"

"Head to the headquarters of the Second Mercenary Group in the Royal City, the Poison Gold Mercenary Group!"

Anno plans to visit all the existing large mercenary groups.

There must have been people among them who killed the adventurers.

If anyone slips up, Anno will retaliate in kind.
