Chapter 377 A Family Business That Shocked Everyone
"Aaaaaaah!"
"Roy, what are you doing?"
"Asteria, your little brother Roy and the girls have gone berserk! Stop them!"
Seeing Roy tear apart a luxurious building in a straight line with a single slash, numerous gods and demons wailed and howled; they were all regulars at this casino.
However, their wailing was of no use!
Roy pointed his sword at Golden City Amusement Park, "Smash it!"
"Yes, Commander!"
The girls of the Astrea Familia responded, and there was no longer any distinction between old and new factions. Kaguya, Lyra, and others changed how they addressed Roy.
The shouts were deafening!
The girls rushed forward, using all their strength to tear down the casino. Tiony, Daphne, and Nezha unleashed a storm of punches, smashing wall after wall with their fists.
Given their rank and powerful physique, they are even stronger than reinforced concrete.
Tiona and Kaguya swung their swords, the cold light instantly severing the expensively transplanted coconut trees, like wheat flattened by a typhoon, one after another.
The gambling tables and decorations inside have been ravaged!
Fueled by rage over the destruction of the Starry Court, the girls acted ruthlessly, and the vast, luxurious casino was engulfed in flames in an instant.
"The Wind of Light!"
Without restraint, Liu unleashed her magic, unleashing a torrent of magical power. Countless emerald green orbs of light rained down from the sky, illuminating the entire heavens.
Those who had previously been fond of casinos were terrified by this scene and dared not linger. They pulled up their pants and fled as far away as possible.
Boom! Boom! Boom!!
Emerald green orbs rained down, and in an instant, Golden City Amusement Park was reduced to ruins.
The light spheres may seem incredibly destructive, but under Ryu's precise control, some might be injured, but no one will die. The same goes for Roy's previous afterimage slashes—all bark and no bite. They weren't there to carry out a massacre; their reputation was what it was.
But it was enough to terrify everyone!
That's the magic of a level 7 adventurer!
Everyone was internally screaming, as if they were using LV.7 magic on the ground to blast mosquitoes with cannons!
As for whether anyone dares to stop them?
Who can stop the strongest Astrea Familia in Orario? And who dares to stand in their way!
Golden City Amusement Park is touted as Orario's number one casino, but compared to the Astrea Familia, this so-called "number one" is nothing more than a roadside stall.
The adventurers hired by Golden City Paradise at great expense are at most LV.3. In a mid-level Familia, they would be guild leader-level figures, capable of handling 99.9% of troubles. The Astrea Familia, on the other hand, is exactly 0.001% that they cannot handle!
Seeing Roy and his group arrive so aggressively, the adventurers guarding the house fled. The boss had always treated them well, but! While loyalty is precious, money is even more valuable. To survive, both could be sacrificed!
boom! boom! Boom!
As the gods watched Roy and his crew transform into a demolition team, and Golden City Paradise rapidly turned into ruins, their hearts bled. Where would they go to have fun in the future?
"Astraea!"
The gods could not stop Roy and the others, and their tearful, resentful eyes turned to the goddess of justice.
Astraea smiled and said, "This is justice for the children, and I can only support them!"
Upon hearing this, the gods were even more grief-stricken.
The gods have absolute control over their blessings, but they will not interfere with the choices of children in the mortal world. Watching them grow up, that "unknown" is the sweetest fruit.
Astraea was the same; she never asked Ryu and Alyssa to patrol the streets, maintain order, or carry out justice.
They were influenced by the goddess and acted spontaneously, which can be considered a result.
Hermes, also among the onlookers, smiled wryly. "Astraea, what happened?"
Astraea said softly, "The casino's manager, Terry Sebandis, hired two high-ranking adventurers to injure Noin and the others and destroy the Star Court while Roy and his group were on their expedition."
Upon hearing Astraea's explanation, the wailing around them gradually subsided.
With their confusion resolved, everyone suddenly understood why the Astrea Familia had been so furious, launching a barrage of attacks without giving the other side any chance to explain or repent.
The other party went too far!
Adventurers, in particular, can relate. They risk their lives in the dungeon only to have their home destroyed. If it were them, they would definitely hunt down the perpetrator to the bitter end.
People in the lower realms don't have the ability of gods to discern lies, but they don't need evidence. Astraea's credit card will be swiped, and everyone will believe it.
This is what reputation and credibility are all about!
Astraea sent Erebus, the ultimate evil god who once ruled the dark faction, back to the heavens. She is a righteous god who is naturally opposed to all evil!
Looking at the now unrecognizable Golden City Paradise, the gods felt regret, but said nothing more.
Revenge is a dish best served cold! Settle grudges with your enemies!
This has been a matter of course since ancient times!
At the same time, it should announce to the world the changes in the Astrea Familia; they are no longer weak and easily bullied lambs! If Alyssa were the captain, she should only capture Terry Sebandis, the culprit.
Roy, on the other hand, is going to smash the entire Golden City Amusement Park, a playground that's dozens of times larger than the Star Garden! He'll pay back tenfold, a hundredfold!
The other party suffered economic losses amounting to billions!
Only by crippling and inflicting pain on the enemy will those lurking demons and monsters dare not act recklessly.
The sun hadn't completely set yet, and Royman, now transformed into a demon, could only cower beneath the ruins, cursing, "Roy, you bastard!"
As the guild's highest authority and the undisputed ruler of Orario, this was Royman's most humiliating day; power ultimately cannot compare to force.
"Lord Roy, Lily has caught someone!"
As if to take credit, Lily dragged a dwarf out of the ruins and threw him onto a spacious open ground.
"Well done." Roy patted Lily's head, and a joyful smile appeared on her face.
Terry Sebendis!
The gods, adventurers, and the people stared curiously at this audacious fellow who dared to hire adventurers to cause trouble for the Astrea Familia.
This person was of standard short stature, wearing a black high-end suit, with a perfectly grown beard and brown hair combed back. However, these exquisite features had been almost completely ruined.
They were as pathetic as rats crossing the street.
The dwarf's face was deathly pale. "I am the owner of this casino. Fellow adventurers of the Astrea Familia, may I ask in what way I have wronged you?"
Roy said, "You're the one who commissioned that organization to send out Black Cat and Black Fist, right?"
Black Cat, Black Fist!
The gods and adventurers were shocked. Assassination missions had a near 100% completion rate, no wonder they were able to injure members of the Astrea Familia.
The dwarf opened his mouth, but a whole host of gods (human lie detectors) were there; any lie he told would be immediately exposed. His eyes darted around, searching for gods with whom he had a closer relationship. "Lord Minos, Lord Melinoe—he's slandering me! He's slandering me!"
The crowd looked at each other strangely. The fact that the dwarf didn't directly answer Roy's question already spoke volumes. How could such a small trick fool these old foxes?
"Is your name really Terry?"
Roy's calm, unwavering gaze made the dwarf feel as if he were walking on thin ice.
The dwarf gritted his teeth. "Is there a problem?"
"No, your name is Ted!" Roy shouted, instantly making the dwarf's legs go weak.
Roy continued, "Ryu, Alexie, take a look, doesn't this person look familiar?"
Ryu, Alexei, Kaguya, and the others stared at the dwarf's face, and after a moment's thought, they suddenly realized that they had seen this person before.
That happened before the great struggle.
This dwarf was a thug who ran an illegal casino, and he had dealt with them several times.
It had been a long time, and it was Roy's reminder that made the girls suddenly remember the man's face.
"What's going on?" Liu murmured. A thug had transformed into the behind-the-scenes boss of Orario's number one casino, wielding a huge sum of money.
Alexie and Kaguya were also puzzled.
The light of the gods, adventurers, people, and the girls of the clan returned to Roy.
Roy took out a small bottle containing crystalline fragments and a bright red liquid—the unlocking potion. He forcibly unlocked the dwarf's power, pinned him to the ground, and dripped a drop onto his back.
"No, it's illegal to look at other people's favor information without permission. You can't do that!" The dwarf was terrified, but he couldn't resist Roy, who was at level 7.
Seeing the dwarf's intense reaction, everyone became interested. It was a done deal that the dwarf had commissioned assassins and bounty hunters to deal with the Astrea Familia. Could there be more to the story?
As the unlocking potion fell, obscure and divine script appeared on the dwarf's back.
The gods present read it without any difficulty.
On the dwarf's gift, the name was Ted, not Terry Sebandis.
Roy explained, "Terry Sebandis, who was sent by Entertainment City (Santorio Beja) to serve as the casino owner, died in an accident in the wild before he officially took office. He used his connections with the dark faction to impersonate the casino owner."
"hiss!"
Everyone gasped, their faces filled with shock. What a masterful switcheroo! They were also filled with shame; for so many years, they hadn't seen through the other party's true nature at all—they had hidden it far too well!
The gods and adventurers who had originally hoped to be persuaded to plead for them all backed down and distanced themselves from the situation.
The dark faction—anyone who gets involved with it will be in big trouble!
Roy said, "Over the years, how much have you done for the Dark Faction using the resources of Golden City Paradise? I believe many people would like to know."
The dwarf, now thoroughly convinced, turned ashen-faced.
The Ganesha clan members took him away, and given his actions, it was unlikely he would leave the prison alive.
The girls from the families of deceased relatives returned home after the demolition work was completed.
The once magnificent Golden City Amusement Park, which was resplendent just half an hour ago, is now completely ruined and has lost its former glory.
"snort!"
With his hands behind his back, Roy's cold gaze swept across the empty square, past the dignitaries and businessmen from various countries who had just escaped and whose faces still showed lingering fear.
That dwarf was merely a spokesperson, or rather, a pawn. The real culprits, the countless nations and major cities outside of Orario, were the ones who truly desired information about the Underworld.
They can't be killed off or wiped out!
But after this incident, Roy believes that no one will ever snatch a tooth from a tiger's mouth again. He can destroy Golden City Paradise in the future, and he can wipe out a country tomorrow!
With his ability to transfer power, it would be no difficult task for him to lead the girls to slaughter a country in three days!
Indeed, faced with Roy's scrutinizing gaze, many of the dignitaries present dared not meet his eyes and lowered their heads. Many of them had a hint of guilt and extreme fear hidden deep in their eyes, as they were the ones commissioned by the dwarf.
If they interrogated each person individually, they could probably find quite a few more, but there's no need. The strength that the Astrea Familia showed off has already intimidated the other side.
Roy said, "Gods, adventurers, and neighbors, today we are in a hurry to find the mastermind behind the dark faction. I am really sorry to have bothered you all. I will definitely come to apologize another day."
To capture a mere LV.2 leader of a dark faction, the entire team mobilized, destroying a vast area—the most prosperous part of Orario. Everyone was both amused and exasperated; how could they possibly do something like this?
Of course, this was just an excuse to retaliate for the destruction of the Star Court; everyone knew the truth in their hearts.
"Brother Roy, you're too kind!"
"Protecting Orario is everyone's responsibility!"
"The Dark Faction's sins are unforgivable; the Astrea Familia is far too kind!"
Now that things have come to this, could anyone really afford to offend the incredibly powerful Astrea Familia for the sake of a destroyed Golden City Paradise? Smiles appeared on everyone's faces, and the wide plaza was filled with a joyful atmosphere.
Apart from losing the Golden City Amusement Park, no one else suffered any losses, so naturally they had no resentment and it was not unacceptable to them.
"Time to go home!"
Roy forced the other party to complete the demolition, and then left with his goddess and his girls.
They come fast and leave fast! As swift as lightning, they leave the enemy no time to react.
Everyone present was amazed as they watched the elegant figures of the Astrea Familia members walking towards the setting sun.
On paper, the Astrea Familia, with its four LV.7 adventurers, is invincible; all the other Familias in Orario combined are no match for it!
No one can stop them from doing what they want!
The eyes of many gods were red with envy. How wonderful it would be if they could have these children! They could do whatever they wanted in the whole world!
If the gods treated the mortal realm as a game, then after the destruction of Zeus's and Hera's families, Astraea's family was undoubtedly the player closest to completing the game, without exception!
the other side.
After working together to demolish the Golden City Amusement Park and fighting side by side, the feelings between the girls of the clan have obviously changed. Although they are not as close as before, they are no longer sarcastic and cold towards each other when they meet.
Joyful laughter often echoed from the group.
Tiony affectionately took Roy's shoulder. "Captain, where are we staying tonight?"
The question caused the laughter in the group to pause, and the girls stopped and looked at Roy.
The Star Court has been destroyed, so there's no point in them going back. The burden of providing food, clothing, and shelter for twenty people now rests on the shoulders of Captain Roy.
It was impossible to stay with other families.
With so many people involved, it's impossible to guarantee that nothing will go wrong. The two factions within the Astrea Familia have already caused so much trouble, let alone different Familias.
Liu said, "Should we stay in a hotel? With so many of us, we can book an entire hotel and it'll be cheaper."
"Need not!"
Roy shook his head. "I was already prepared. Lily, how's the entertainment district development going?"
All eyes fell on the little girl.
Lily's eyes brightened, and she nodded emphatically, "Lord Roy, it's basically finished!"
"Stay there for the time being!"
Roy and his group arrived in the former stronghold of the Ishtar Familia—the Pleasure District. After winning the War Game, Roy took over this area and developed it in conjunction with the guild and several other Familias.
A five-star hotel, a large shopping mall, a buffet restaurant, an amusement park, a water park, and an ice skating rink—an incredibly luxurious integrated resort combining dining, entertainment, and leisure.
Gazing at the hotel building, second only to the Tower of Babel, and the spectacular roller coasters, pendulum rides, and other wonders, the girls from the indigenous communities were dumbfounded. Like Grandma Liu visiting the Grand View Garden, they looked around, overwhelmed by the dazzling array of sights.
"Commander, you're amazing!"
Even the girls, who were high-level adventurers themselves, were deeply shocked.
Especially Alicia, Kaguya, and Lyra—they'd heard this area was their family's property! Looking at Roy, Ryu, and the others with complex emotions, revealing deep admiration and apology, she said, "Roy, Leon—"
They clearly remembered that the expedition had almost depleted the entire savings of their clan, and then they encountered an accident in the dungeon, which meant that everything was wasted, leaving only Ryu and Astrea penniless!
However, only three years have passed.
The Astrea Familia reached the pinnacle of Orario, boasting a large number of top adventurers and a family fortune that rivaled that of a nation—something they could never have dreamed of!
To build this fortune, Roy, Ryu, Tione, Tiona, and Lily went through unimaginable hardships, even if they racked their brains and lost countless brain cells.
The last lingering resentment in their hearts vanished.
Therefore, these predecessors are the ones who reap the benefits without sowing. Not only did they leave nothing for Roy, Tione, and other successors, but they also created a mess. After their resurrection, they were able to enjoy these resources, so it is only natural that they are discriminated against.
Roy was unaware of the former members' self-repentance; he was completely absorbed in watching it.
Entering the dungeon world, you can see those modern buildings, but you will eventually have to come back. Seeing these things in Orario evokes a completely different feeling.
"That's really good," Roy muttered to himself. It could be said that the blacksmiths of the Gubney Familia had perfectly recreated the things from the previous life, with the power supply changed from electricity to magic stones.
"Lily worked so hard!" Lily said in an exaggerated tone, but it was not an exaggeration at all. She personally supervised the entire project and inspected every batch of bricks and steel. Countless nights of hard work and sweat have created the breathtaking scene before us.
"Yes, Lily is the hero of today!"
Roy was generous with his praise, his warm and strong arms encircling Lily's petite body, lifting her gently and holding her securely in his embrace.
That familiar, comforting scent enveloped her, and Lily's face flushed a beautiful blush. Like a kitten that had found its most comfortable nest, she unconsciously buried her face deep into Roy's broad chest, greedily inhaling that cherished aroma. Her long eyelashes fluttered gently like butterfly wings, and the corners of her mouth involuntarily turned up, outlining a sweet and contented curve.
Seeing this, the girls looked on with a hint of envy.
Even Tione, who is usually very jealous, didn't say anything; this is what Lily deserves.
