Moon Scar looked somewhat puzzled at Xuan Yue. Due to the tension of the past two days, he didn’t think too much about her. Staring at her familiar face, he smiled and said, "So you are Yue Yue’s elder brother, you two really do look alike! Yue Yue should indeed practice a bit more, otherwise, how can she live up to her title as the leader of the Special Class Mercenary Group? Come, let’s talk inside. Ah Dai, it’s been a long time since we last met, I have a lot of questions to ask you." He then held onto Ah Dai’s arm and headed towards the Conference Hall, upon seeing that Moon Scar hadn’t recognised her, Xuan Yue heaved a sigh of relief and quickly beckoned Olivia and Kino to follow.
The Conference Hall was simply decorated, with a huge oval table in the centre and a circle of wooden chairs around it. Moon Scar led the four to their seats and turned to the Lin brothers, "You did very well this time, there will be rewards for you later. Instruct the others that no one is to come in without my order, I want to catch up with my brother Ah Dai."
"Yes, leader." The Lin brothers happily left, they knew that Moon Scar was a man of his word and that promised rewards would be fulfilled.
Moon Scar sat next to Ah Dai, looking at Olivia and Kino, he said, "I’m sorry for ignoring you when I first saw Ah Dai, I was too excited. Who are you two?" When Lin Da told him that Ah Dai from the Evil Sky Mercenary Group was here, he didn’t listen to who else was coming with him, so he hurried out so he had no idea of the identities of Olivia and Kino.
Ah Dai quickly introduced them, "They are my friends, Wind Magician Olivia and Fire Mage Kino. This is the Moon Scar I told you about." He didn’t want to boast in front of Moon Scar, so he didn’t mention the magical levels of Olivia and Kino.
Olivia and Kino hurriedly stood up and nodded to Moon Scar. Moon Scar’s eyes revealed a glint of happiness. At this critical moment of survival for the Moon Scar Mercenary Corps, he knew that Ah Dai’s abilities didn’t exceed his much, but if these mages were willing to help him, there was more of a guarantee of victory for the must-win decision tomorrow. He smiled lightly and said, "Two brothers, don’t be so polite, since you are friends with Ah Dai, you are also my friends. Don’t hold back here, treat this like your own home."
Moon Scar’s warm words instantly won the favor of Olivia and Kino. Olivia said, "Don’t worry Brother Moon Scar, we are not at all courteous. I’m afraid we might have to trouble you here for a few days. Just promise us you won’t be annoyed."
Kino recently made progress in teasing Olivia, upon hearing this he mocked her, "Just because of your many bad habits, Brother Moon Scar can also kick you out."
Moon Scar laughed and said, "How could I do that? I welcome this, it is a great honour for our Moon Scar Mercenary Corps to have the presence of mages! Ah Dai, what about your business with the Elf Clan?"
Ah Dai sighed. He didn’t want to say too much in front of Olivia and Kino, so he just gave a wry smile and said, "The outcome was not ideal, only the Elf Princess and a fairy girl were saved. The other elves chose to commit suicide because of the humiliation the Dark Forces inflicted on them." Whenever he thought of those days spent in the Empire of the Sunset City, Ah Dai felt incredibly depressed. He experienced countless pains there, his death by freezing, and the death of more than a dozen elves, those memories were unforgettable!
Looking at Ah Dai’s distressed face, Moon Scar knew something must have happened to him, he comforted him saying,"Being able to save the Elf Princess is not easy, and you fulfilled the Elf Queen’s request. What about Yan Shi and the others? Why didn’t they come with you?" Ah Dai replied, "After coming out from the Elf Clan, I went to the Illusive Forest to see my teacher. As for Yan Shi and Yan Li, they went back to the ordinary rock people to practice Martial arts."
Moon Scar seemed a bit melancholic and said, "I really wanted to go to the Empire of the Sunset City with you back then, but the issues were just too big, Ah Dai, do you still blame me?"
Ah Dai shook his head and said, "I never blamed you, everyone has their own path, how could I force you? Even if you didn’t go to the Empire of Sunset City with us, we’re still good brothers! By the way, after we entered the city, we heard that your Moon Scar Mercenary Corps seemed to have encountered trouble. Someone challenged you with a must-win decision, what exactly is going on?"
Moon Scar shuddered, gave a bitter smile and said, "I won’t hide it from you, this time we are facing a big crisis. Although Varo City is not too big, it’s very prosperous. That’s the main reason I chose to station our corps here. With the 5% tax from the government, even if we don’t take any tasks, we can still afford to feed our brothers. The challenging mercenary group probably saw this. Though they are only over a thousand, they are incredibly powerful. They have risen to the rank of Class One Mercenary Group in less than a year, once they beat us, their prestige is sure to surpass current Special Class Mercenary Groups and catch up with Red Hurricane. If we lose, the hard-earned foundation will also vanish. So, I’m considering our strategy."
Xuan Yue said, "Brother Moon Scar, we have heard some information about must-win decision from Lin Da, could you explain it to us in detail so we can help? Since we are friends, we definitely wouldn’t stand by and do nothing."
