Chapter 370: Kitahara Iori: "I Love Brazen Idiots Like You the Most!"
.....
The corners of Seito's mouth turned up in a slight smirk.
He had intentionally put up that weird illusion on his soul to make Syr lose all interest in him!
The reason was simple: Syr was a notoriously loose woman who chased after handsome heroes. Since he was currently the only foreign male god around, what if she targeted him? By making her first impression of his soul totally repulsive, he wouldn't have to worry about her schemes.
Besides, with so many pure and beautiful girls across the worlds, he had no interest in wasting his time on a promiscuous beauty goddess.
Still, a funny thought crossed his mind.
If Prime Minister Cao Cao were here, would he like this kind of goddess?
Cao Cao loved beautiful married women, that much was true. But a beauty goddess who threw herself at everyone? Seito doubted the old Prime Minister would approve.
Back in the pub, Syr finally withdrew her gaze. But to be fair, her curiosity about Seito and the members of the Fatui Guild had only grown. After all, these were gods and mortals from an entirely different planet.
BANG!
Stomp, stomp, stomp~~
Right at that moment, the front doors were kicked open. A very arrogant-looking young man with messy yellow hair swaggered inside. His eyes were sharp and narrow, giving him an incredibly sneaky and underhanded look.
Behind him, a fierce crowd of thugs marched into the room. There were at least twenty of them, making quite a loud and threatening entrance!
The blond guy strutted in and scanned the room. When he noticed that Kitahara Iori and the others weren't wearing any armor at all, he sneered disdainfully at the bar.
"Manager! Why do you have so many
useless rookies packing your shop today? Hurry up and throw them out!"
He completely looked down on fresh adventurers. In his eyes, rookies like these were just cannon fodder waiting to die inside the Dungeon.
Watching this unfold from the side table, Maple and Kirukiru Amou silently offered their condolences to the intruders. After all, the guild members Seito had brought along were the absolute wildest trolls in the entire faction!
"Who are these people?" Maple turned her head to ask Hestia.
"They look like members of the Apollo Familia," Hestia thought for a second before answering.
"Apollo?"
Maple and Kirukiru exchanged a look, but they didn't say anything else, choosing to quietly enjoy the show.
Meanwhile, Seito and the Fatui Guild members paused, completely stunned.
Did someone seriously just try to kick them out?
Wow! Who gave this guy the courage?
With that exact thought, every single guild member turned their heads toward the door at the same time, staring down the blond thug and his crew.
The blond guy and his lackeys proudly puffed out their chests. It was a joke to them; they were dealing with a bunch of armorless rookies. They felt they were being generous just by not beating them up immediately.
"What are you looking at? You'll just be monster food in the maze anyway!" the blond guy sneered again, completely full of himself. The thugs behind him all backed him up, twisting their faces into ugly, menacing scowls.
The Fatui Guild members looked at each other.
Then...
"Son of a bitch!"
Kitahara Iori abruptly roared, slamming his hands down and flipping his dining table clean into the air! He reached into his coat, pulled out a heavy liquor bottle, and pointed it straight at the blond guy's nose.
"I love brazen idiots like you the most!"
This sudden explosion of violence caught the blond guy and his crew completely off guard, freezing them in their tracks.
However, the guild members sitting next to Iori were deeply annoyed. Shouting at them is fine, but why did you have to flip the table? We haven't even finished our food yet! everyone complained internally.
But given the current face-off, they didn't waste breath scolding Iori. Instead, the entire group rose to their feet in unison! Weapons materialized in their hands with sharp metallic clicks!
"Hehehehe...! Looks like entertainment has arrived~"
"Crush them to pieces!"
"Ah~ My blade hasn't tasted blood in ages!"
"Today, I'm going to beat the living daylights out of this little blond punk!"
"Hehehehehe!!!"
The Fatui Guild members burst into terrifying, unhinged laughter, their faces twisting into expressions far more villainous and frightening than the actual thugs! That chaotic, echoing laughter made everyone else in the pub freeze in sheer shock.
Hestia: "..."
Syr and the waitresses: "..."
We feel like we just discovered something we shouldn't have! Hestia and Syr never could have imagined that the people serving under Seito would be this unhinged. For a moment, their expressions became incredibly complicated.
On the other side of the room, the blond guy and his crew were completely terrified! They never expected that the people in front of them would look infinitely more murderous and terrifying than they did. The sudden shift in pressure left them utterly speechless.
"You... I..." The blond thug stuttered, completely unable to form a coherent sentence.
"Hmph!"
With a cold snort, a young man wearing glasses stepped out from the crowd, casually spinning a sharp knife in his hand. He was none other than the other massive troll from Class E—Hidenori Tabata!
Slurp~
Hidenori extended his tongue, slowly licking the flat edge of his blade as a dangerous light flashed in his eyes.
"Guys! I'm taking the first kill!!"
The moment the words left his mouth, Hidenori charged forward like a bullet!
Hearing him try to steal the initiative, the rest of the Fatui members cursed out loud and lunged forward as well!
"Damn it! What do you mean you're going first? You greedy bastard, are you trying to steal all the kill counts?"
"Hmph! I can hear your selfish calculations all the way from the home planet!"
"Screw it! Just beat them into pulp! Break every single one of them!"
"Hehehehe...!"
Meanwhile, outside the Hostess of Fertility...
Countless pedestrians were strolling down the street, chatting and laughing under the sun. Further down the road, the core members of the Loki Familia were slowly walking toward the tavern.
"Hehe, Aiz, make sure you empty your stomach and eat to your heart's content today! Your vanguard team is heading out for the deep expedition tomorrow!" Loki laughed, playfully slapping the shoulder of the golden-haired girl beside her.
The girl named Aiz Wallenstein possessed a soft, ethereal beauty. Her expression was perfectly stoic and doll-like, her long golden hair cascading down her back like a wind sprite. Her slender, graceful figure only elevated her stunning appearance, making her a beauty capable of overturning nations.
The remaining members of the Loki Familia smiled warmly. Since the dangerous expedition was scheduled for tomorrow, they intended to visit the Hostess of Fertility to enjoy a spectacular feast tonight.
A few seconds later, they arrived right outside the tavern gates!
However... just as their boots touched the perimeter line!
A chaotic storm of smashing wood and shattering glass erupted from inside the shop, followed by a swarm of human bodies flying straight through the front windows!
"Pffft!"
"Help me!!!"
"Ahhh! My back is broken!!!"
These bodies crashed hard onto the cobblestones, covered in blood and wearing tattered clothes, looking incredibly miserable. Such a violent scene instantly locked the attention of every single pedestrian on the street.
Yet, before the surrounding crowd or the Loki Familia could even formulate a response, a massive group of fierce men dressed in identical black business suits came charging out of the shattered tavern entrance!
