I opened an adventurer's guild in another world.

"You mean you don't have the largest size Ocean Eye?"

Anno stared at Rhine, who looked embarrassed, with a dark expression and a furrowed brow.

In other words, the girl had actually deceived him.

Even the dignified leader of the Adventurers' Guild has a day when he gets ripped off!

"Hahahahaha..."

Philomena, standing to the side, glanced between Anno and Rhine, laughing so hard she was bent over, her short legs swinging in the air.

Seeing this, Rhine said to Philomena, "Little sister, don't add fuel to the fire. I do have the Eye of the Ocean, but it's in Saint Helir."

I never expected that President Anno would complete the mission so quickly..."

Philomena's laughter stopped.

In fact, when Rhine called Philomena "little sister," Anno saw Philomena's face immediately darken.

I remember that in the past, Liz would often mock Philomena for her small size, and when she bullied Philomena, she would order other summoned creatures to lift her up or carry her directly.

Philomena is therefore very conscious of her figure.

Little sister?

She hates it when people say she's too young!

But Rhine seemed oblivious to the fact that he had upset someone again, and continued to say to Anno, "How about this, you come with me to Saint Helier, and I'll have my father pay you directly."

"Rest assured, I will act in the name of the Royal Family of Estelle..."

"President Anno!"

Just as Rhine was trying to use his cunning to bring Anno to Saint Helier, Count Sam, who had been silent all along, suddenly spoke up: "I'm really sorry about the reward, but we are currently unable to deliver the Eye of the Ocean as agreed."

But rest assured, give us some time to prepare, and we will definitely bring the Eye of the Ocean to you.

He saw through the princess's little scheme at a glance.

Want Anno to accompany you to Saint Helier to get the Eye of the Ocean?

He's just trying to trick people into helping him!

Count Sam was certain that Anno had also seen through Rhine's little scheme.

If Anno were just an ordinary adventurer, that would be one thing.

After bringing him to Saint Helil, we'll find a way to get him involved in the war against the sea creatures.

As long as the compensation is sufficient, it is not a difficult task.

But the question is, is the person in front of us an ordinary adventurer?

Didn't you hear what they just said? The enemy who killed Felton (Earl Sam's seventh-tier subordinate) and Dart was a peak eighth-tier enemy.

Such enemies all died at Anno's hands.

That means Anno's strength has reached a point where he can't afford to offend him.

Playing dirty tricks in front of others is clearly annoying!

In the end, their attempt to steal a chicken backfired and they lost more than they gained.

Therefore, Count Sam interrupted Rhine's speech and expressed his apologies.

After saying this, Sam glanced at Anno's expression and added, "To express my gratitude for the civilians of Kaze whom you saved on this trip, please accept this small gift prepared by me, the Earl!"

Sam then clapped his hands, and the two trusted guards outside the door immediately turned and left, finding Earl Sam's wife.

The latter seemed to have been prepared, and after his confidants arrived, he had them carry a large wooden box out of the room.

After the wooden crate was moved to the living room, Sam immediately had the guards open it in front of Anno.

The wooden box, about a meter long and knee-high, was filled with all sorts of rare and precious artifacts.

There are fist-sized white pearls, glittering golden daggers, and some precious materials, famous paintings, and so on.

"I know that President Anno isn't very interested in money. These are just some inexpensive trinkets from my collection. I hope the president will like them."

He said it was worthless, but Sam's heart was bleeding inside.

Although there isn't much in this box, it's worth at least several million gold coins!

When I was preparing these things, I originally planned to wait until Anno returned after completing the commission so that I could get closer to Anno.

But now, it can only be used for apologies for breach of contract.

Anno glanced at the contents of the box with little interest.

Although the items here are very valuable, they don't hold much appeal for Anno.

Rhine, standing nearby, was seeing Earl Sam looking bewildered for the first time.

In fact, when Count Sam interrupted her, Rhine suddenly remembered that the person in front of her was a super strong person who could kill an eighth-level expert!

She knew that her boasting had led to a breach of contract, and that upsetting Anno might make him have a very bad impression of the Duchy of Aurel.

Anno's first act of acting on his own outside the country caused her to dislike the Duchy, which made Rhine somewhat uneasy.

She lowered her head and rubbed the hem of her skirt, glancing left and right, before finally seeing Philomena's unhappy face.

"You were rescued from Kaze Town by President Anno, weren't you!"

Seeing that Philomena was petite and cute, Rhine thought that if such a little girl pleaded with Anno, she could surely salvage something.

Otherwise, after Anno saved the civilians of Kaze, he wouldn't have kept Philomena by his side alone.

So she took small steps toward Philomena, flashing what she thought was a friendly smile, and said, "Little sister..."

"Who are you calling 'little sister'?!"

Boom!

A powerful burst of magical energy suddenly erupted from Philomena, blowing Rhine away several meters.

The surrounding tables and chairs were even knocked over and tilted.

Pfft!

Before Rhine could react, being held in Anno's arms, she heard Anno say calmly, "You've messed with me, but I won't hold a grudge against a minor like you."

But if you keep provoking her, the coffin at the door will be used on you!
