Only I can make them stronger

"It's okay. I'm your boss." Evan said nothing more and quickened his pace.

In about another minute, they would reach the exit on the edge of the mining area, which should be much safer than the office area which was already in a mess.

In Evan's opinion, a group of monsters of this size should have gathered all the monsters nearby, so the surrounding wilderness is safe now. By then, the top-level second-level security captain behind him will definitely be able to send him back to the city safely.

"Yes... Manager Evan..." Although he was helpless, the security captain had no choice but to raise his gun and follow while keeping watch on the surroundings.

But soon, the two of them stopped.

Because with the appearance of light, the two people's vision did not become clear.

Several men in black combat uniforms were standing next to a tall, thin man in a long gray windbreaker, frowning and saying something.

The logos on these men's clothes looked very familiar to Evan.

Shadow Claw!?

How come their people are here?

Evan never thought that the large-scale attack by terrifying beasts just now would be related to humans.

And they are the most vicious and evil group of humans.

"Boss Dilwin, there's someone here." Those people also noticed Evan and the security captain, and one of them came up to squadron leader Dilwin and said.

Dillwyn glanced at Evan and didn't look at him again, as if the other person was just an insignificant piece of garbage.

My men just discovered this passage and suggested that they could use it to break into the mining area more conveniently and minimize casualties caused by direct fire.

This proposal has a certain appeal, but it also carries great risks.

After all, there is no map, and no one knows where this tunnel that seems to lead underground leads to. Any temporary changes to the plan may cause great trouble.

But now you don’t have to worry about it.

"They are people from the mining area. It turns out that they have already put this passage into use. So we can indeed consider temporarily changing the plan."

He gestured to the others to move aside, then slowly walked towards the stunned Evan and the security captain.

Normally he wouldn't need to deal with this kind of garbage, but since he had to change his plans at the last minute, it would be better to deal with it as soon as possible.

"Hey, what are you doing?!" Seeing the other party coming, Evan was so scared that his calves began to tremble. His mind went blank and he blurted out a very stupid question.

"Give me the map of this passage." Dillven stretched out his hand, as if it was natural for him to lend the other party money.

“What…are you kidding me! You guys from Shadow Claw, I advise you not to provoke me from the Baisong family! Otherwise…”

"It's so noisy..." Dillwyn said a few words coldly with a gloomy expression. He covered Evan's mouth so quickly that Evan couldn't react at all, and grabbed his face and lifted him up.

In less than three seconds, Evan's face was covered with a layer of solid ice, firmly fixing him in Dilvin's palm.

The cold and suffocation made Evan feel as if he had smelled death. He could only try his best to look to his side and signal the security captain to attack the other party.

But soon, he discovered in despair that his only support seemed to have died on the spot... without him knowing when.

His face was pale and bloodless, his expression was panic-stricken and stiff, and he was still emitting cold air from his body.

He was frozen to death.

74. Harem members outside the agency

Among all the squadron leaders of Shadow Claw, only Dillwyn, who is at level 4, has the lowest factor level.

But in terms of overall strength, he ranks in the middle among all squadron captains.

On the one hand, he is a dual-directional ability user, with half of his ability factors being in the spell-like domain and the half being in the combat domain, so his combat ability is quite comprehensive; on the other hand, it lies in his fourth-order ability [Extremely Rapid Cooling].

Although there is no apparent difference in strength between factor abilities of the same level, there is actually an implicit distinction in rarity when they are randomly awakened.

For example, Leah's [Hollow Bone Structure] and Shana's [Electrostatic Conductance] are both extremely rare and powerful first-level abilities.

[Extreme Cooling] is a rare ability that can be classified as the most powerful among the fourth-level spell-like abilities. Its effect is to quickly lower the overall temperature within a certain range, and this effect can be concentrated on a specific target, causing its temperature to drop sharply to freezing point.

Although this ability is powerful, its range is small, so it is usually quite limited.

But this shortcoming is perfectly compensated by Dillven's fighting domain ability.

The direct effect of the factor ability in combat, as well as the compatibility of the factor ability with one's other combat abilities, determine to a certain extent the upper limit of a person's strength.

This is particularly important given that the awakening of factor abilities is completely random.

As for Dillven, he was the type who had two directions, but his factor abilities were highly compatible with each other. He was very adept at using his abilities, making it hard to guard against him.

At this time, outside the secret passage of the mining area, there were two pale bodies that were frozen into popsicles, and Dillven and others were already walking quickly into the passage...

…………

"Hmm... slurp..."

The mining area was attacked from all directions, but in a room of the Stone Hotel, there was still the air of spring in the morning.

Because he had been running around in the wilderness and had trained Leah for the whole afternoon yesterday, Xia Ye woke up a little later today.

As soon as he opened his eyes, he felt his lower body was warm and slippery, being entangled by a slightly clumsy but soft and powerful tongue.

The plump touch that occasionally brushes across the legs reveals the owner of the small tongue.

"Liya..." Xia Ye pulled the quilt slightly and saw Liya holding a stick-like object in her mouth, swallowing it intently.

"Slurp...hmm..." Leah didn't answer, but looked at Xia Ye mischievously from under the quilt, and then sucked harder.

Seeing this, Xia Ye smiled helplessly, straightened his waist slightly, and pushed the whole thing deep into her, stuffing her little face full, and then began to enjoy the other's service.

After a while, with Xia Ye's waist trembling, Leah's morning wake-up service came to an end.

"Xia Ye's... in the morning, she was particularly energetic... Liya... couldn't help it..."

Then Leah went to wash up for a while, and when she came back to the bed, she leaned her plump body towards me as if to please me and whispered.

Perhaps in her opinion, this was an act similar to stealing food, so she felt a little guilty.

"No need to be so cautious..." Xia Ye hugged Leah with a helpless look and touched her face gently. The latter licked his hand subconsciously.

"If Leah wants to eat, she can eat at any time as long as it's the right time and place... But I'm afraid we can't continue now."

"Now? What's wrong?" As Xia Ye gently caressed her face and neck, Leah felt her body, which had just calmed down a little, began to gradually heat up again, and she twisted slightly in Xia Ye's arms.

"The enemies are coming...or they have already arrived." Looking at the time, Xia Ye sighed.

In his estimation, the Shadow Claws that launched an advance raid would arrive at the scene no later than this afternoon.

As the only residential area for outsiders in the mining area, the Stone Hotel is where almost all the forge guards gather, so it will definitely be one of Shadow Claw's key focus areas.

The trouble with this matter is that once Xia Ye and his team fight with the other party, they must leave no one alive in order to ensure that they will not be troubled later.

Regardless of friendship or the purpose of completing the mission, Xia Ye cannot ignore Careya.

"Put on your combat uniform, Leah. It might be a tough battle..."

…………

"So we didn't go to the venue with Kareya. Was that intentional on your part?"

Soon, Xia Ye, Shana and Liya all put on their equipment and gathered in Xia Ye's room. Shana asked in a low voice.

"I don't want to be surrounded... The enemy's main force will definitely be concentrated at the venue. If we are surrounded directly at the venue, we will be in a very passive position at that time."

"At least we have more opportunities to take the initiative now."

"That makes sense..." Shana nodded affirmatively.

"Knock, knock, knock!" Just then, a knock on the door interrupted the conversation.

"Who is it?" Xia Ye and Shana looked at each other and saw a hint of doubt in each other's eyes.

"I'm Karen, the guard partner of the forge Jinnelle. I have something I want to discuss with you..." The voice outside the door sounded like that of a mature older sister, whose style was somewhat similar to Shana's, but slightly younger than Shana.

Xia Ye directly activated [True Insight], and his vision changed. A blurry tall figure outside the door was emitting a blazing energy aura. It seemed that the other party was a very powerful guy.

"I'll be right there." After a little thought, Xia Ye got up and went to open the door, but halfway through he held the Eternal Fire in his palm, ready to defend and counterattack at any time.

The door opened, and outside stood a tall woman covered in a long windbreaker with a huge sword on her back.

The other person's body size is slightly smaller than Shana's, but it is still quite large compared to an ordinary woman.

The woman had crystal-white skin and a head of refreshing short golden hair that made her look quite handsome, while her amber eyes and eyebrows with a sunny smile added a touch of softness to her heroic features.

If you ignore his figure and voice, and only look at his face, he is simply a sunny and handsome guy with a neutral tone.

But what surprised Xia Ye even more was that the moment he saw the other party, the file popped up from the system:

[Name: Karen]

75. Phoenix's Golden Lion

Xia Ye has currently summarized three system file rules:

① Need to know the other party’s name;

② Need to see the other person in person;

③The other party is a target that can be conquered built into the system, that is, a member of the harem.

He didn't expect that a random woman he met here was actually in the system's file, and was a beauty and a strong person whose figure and strength were not inferior to Shana.

Unfortunately, the other person's figure was completely covered by the long windbreaker at the moment, and nothing could be seen.

"It's really you... Phoenix's golden lion, Karen."

After seeing the appearance of the person outside the door, Shana said with a complicated expression.

Hearing this, the other party raised his eyebrows and walked closer like a dandy nobleman. He raised his head slightly to look at Shana, who was half a head taller than him, and smiled:

"I remember you. Your name is Shana. Your magic-like combat skills combined with strong physical fitness are very impressive, but shouldn't you..."

"I am no longer a mercenary. I am now a clerk at the Qianshi Office in the Shia City State."

"Shia City-State... Qianshi..." Karen narrowed his amber eyes and looked at the curious Leah and the vigilant Xia Ye.

"It's a Class II β commission agency. The person in charge is a mysterious domain factor ability user named Luo Qi. There are quite a few clerks in the agency, but they are all at level three or below."

"I didn't expect that the Bluebird mercenaries, who have lived on the edge of a knife, could return to such a peaceful and quiet job..."

Karen seemed to know a lot about Chise Agency, and his expression was unclear whether it was admiration or mockery as he spoke.

The other party's words made Xia Ye and Liya obviously nervous.

The appearance of this woman made Leah feel a strong sense of crisis, which is the involuntary intuition of a beast when facing an unknown and powerful enemy.

As for Xia Ye, he was even more confused about the other party's identity.
