The moment that they disappeared, the same smile disappeared from Leaf’s face.
She didn’t even turn around as she said, "I know what you’re thinking."
The other members of the World Tree Team had knitted brows as they watched this other group leave, but they relaxed a bit when they heard what Leaf said.
As she continued looking in that direction, she continued by saying, "I know what my instincts are telling me and they are telling me that there’s something special about that person."
The other members of the World Tree Team didn’t say anything at first, but then one of their members stepped forward.
This was a girl that was also beautiful, but was a bit lacking compared to Leaf. But judging by the way that everyone looked at her, it was clear that she was the vice leader of this group and the one that everyone trusted to represent them.
After stepping forward, she said, "But was it really necessary to give him that Fire Bead? The mask I understand, but you should know what kind of thing the Fire Bead is. Even if we can’t use the mask, that Fire Bead is something that is very valuable."
Leaf just turned around with a smile before saying, "I believe that he’s worth that much. Or are you doubting my instincts now?"
The vice leader quickly shook her head before saying, "I would never doubt your instincts." With a sigh, she added, "Who knows how many times we’ve been saved because of your instincts."
Biting her lip, she still said, "You’re someone that has a World Tree Sapling Familiar, do you really think that someone like him would be able to do the same thing as you? He only has that small cat with him that can control the wind, it doesn’t seem like he’s on the same level as you."
Leaf just calmly said, "What if he’s hiding his power?"
The vice leader still shook her head as she said, "I’ve already checked and it’s clear that he and his familiar don’t have that much mana. No matter how one looks at it, it doesn’t seem like there’s anything special about him."
For the first time, the smile on Leaf’s face was replaced with a stern look.
The moment that this stern look appeared, there was a powerful pressure that fell onto the rest of the World Tree Team. Terrified looks appeared on their faces, but they didn’t seem to back down.
Leaf didn’t care about the way that they reacted as she just calmly said, "I’ve already made up my mind on this matter. You can say what you want, but I’m not going to change his mind."
The rest of them revealed bitter looks when they heard this, but they knew that her words were final.
They might be able to say something if she was still willing to play along with them, but the look on her face made it clear that she had lost her patience.
As the World Tree Team, the team that had been built for her and to follow her, they were naturally the ones that knew her the best.
They knew that other than her title of Gentle Flower, there was a title that fit her better.
"Deadly Rose."
She might seem beautiful and kind on the surface, but there were thorns that were hidden deep under the surface.
She was just like her mother, the Guild Master of the Yggdrasil Guild.
Both of them were decisive and ruthless like that.
Once Leaf made this decree, it was as if she had lost interest in the others.
She just turned back around so that they couldn’t see the look on her face.
That was because this was a look that she really couldn’t show others.
If anyone saw this, they would have been completely shocked by the look that she was showing.
They would no longer think of her as the same flower that they had before.
They would have only thought one thing after seeing her expression.
Demon.
In her mind, Leaf was thinking…
"Ah, he really is something special. I bet he’s handsome too under that mask. I really want to possess him. I want to make him mine and then break him down until he’s absolutely loyal to me. Oh, I want him…"
What others didn’t know was that she was someone that wanted
And she was someone that didn’t give up on something that she wanted.
…
"I know what you’re thinking, but it’s better this way. There’s no telling what she would have done and it’s better to have an ally than an enemy."
I could see the way that the two of them were looking at me, so I just said this with a calm look on my face.

After I said this, it didn’t seem like they were going to believe me that easily as they continued staring at me.
But I just kept staring back at them.
Eventually, it felt like I had to say something else, so I just said, "It’s clear that she was hiding something. Even if I was to do something, there was no guarantee that we would have been able to do anything to them, right?"

At this, Wang Rong and Iris finally relented.
Iris said with a sigh, "I actually know that person."
I was surprised to hear this since she hadn’t said anything about those five top contenders. I thought that she would be familiar with them as the daughter of two World Summoners, but she had never said anything about this which made it hard to ask her about it.
"She’s definitely not normal."
In the end, that was all Iris was willing to say even though I looked at her like I was trying to get more information out of her. However, it didn’t seem like she wanted to say anything else.
So the only thing that we could do was head to the next Elite Monster.
