"Oh? You have co?" Erwin smiled. He stood up and extended his hand with a calm expression, even though he really wanted to punch the person before him. "To think we would actually work together again."
Gillian couldn't help but furrow his eyebrows. On the one hand, it wasn't Clovis' team. On the other hand, these people were the ones fighting on the front together with them.
"Are you the people we used to work together with? The ones from the previous expedition?" Aileen raised her eyebrows, looking surprised.
"!!!" Gillian's body twitched. Even though it was better to have soone they were familiar with, this was the first ti Aileen took the initiative to talk.
"Your group is extrely good. I guess we will have an easier ti in taking down the Tier 6 beast this ti." Aileen nodded. She wanted to smile or even chuckle due to how funny the situation was, but she couldn't do it.
"That's true. They are good."
"I know, right? We'll have an easier ti."
The other two group mbers also agreed with Aileen.
Gillian couldn't help but grit his teeth as if he was looking at an annoying fly that kept buzzing around him.
He couldn't help but recall what happened a few days ago.
…
He was standing in front of the TV with his father's face right before him.
"Did you know that the company had filed a complaint? What the heck did you do on the expedition?! Are you trying to ruin our reputation? Do you know that we have worked hard to gain this cooperation? Are you trying to destroy our potential to develop in this country?"
Gillian looked down. He gritted his teeth before saying, "I killed a Tier 6 beast in this expedition. I contributed a lot to this expedition. It was my legal right to claim it as it was."
His father beca angrier. "It was because you killed that Tier 6 beast that everything happened. How could you be so foolish? It was fortunate that those two were mature enough to realize the consequences of their anger and chose not to go through with it.
"But if they didn't, the expedition would end in failure. Not only that, but they would also lose a lot of people. When that happened, their company would go all-out war against us. They would even file a lawsuit.
"All of our efforts in expanding to this country would be useless. No, they would do everything they could to remove us from this country. In addition, they would surely use this to cause a lot of damage to our family in Axolonia.
"Just co back. You're useless! I have put too much expectation on you." His father let out a long sigh.
Gillian bit his lips. "No, I won't! I just need to finish the next mission, and everything is going to be fine. This way, we could say that those people were manipulating the battlefield, which caused the internal conflict."
His father facepald. "And the mont they realized it was your fault, they would definitely make it hard for the entire family!
"And what? Do you think that our family has a lot of strength over there? What if it's true that they are from a hidden family? Our information network in that country is not that great, so we can't be so sure.
"Even after searching for several days, I couldn't find anything about them. This is indeed one of the characteristics of a hidden family.
"In addition, a hidden family is powerful because they have been hiding from the public eye the whole ti, maintaining or growing their strength.
"If there is indeed a hidden family in that country, they will kill you! You can imagine their strength the mont you see that young master who is only a Tier 3 but has the power beyond a Tier 5 human. Can't you see what's happening?!"
Gillian shouted back. "And there's still no proof about them coming from a hidden family! You're just paranoid. You might be scared, but I'm not!"
"You bastard!" His father's anger erupted even further the mont his problematic son shouted back at him. "Co back to Axolonia right now!"
"I won't! I will just complete this mission flawlessly and show you that you're just a scaredy cat!"
"You—!" His father pointed his finger at him, but Gillian ended the call.
…
After recalling their conversations, Gillian couldn't help but clench his hands into fists. He said to Erwin and the others in a cold tone, "Just do as I say. If any of you can't follow my command, get out right now!"
Erwin squinted his eyes. "You have a lot of attitude for soone who almost destroyed the expedition. I don't mind following a command, but if it's a nonsensical order, I won't follow it. The problem is… your command, is it a good one or a bad one?"
Gillian glared at him and approached Erwin until he was a few centiters in front of him. "You dare to question my judgnt? You're only a re Tier 4 human."
"Yes. I dare to do it because of what you've shown. Track record is very important after all." Erwin had a smug smile on his face, showing that he wasn't scared.
"You!" Gillian grabbed Erwin's collar.
All of a sudden, Aileen grabbed Gillian's wrist and said, "That's enough. What he said made sense. There's no way they will follow an order that sends them to their deaths. However, they have made it clear that they will follow your order, so that's enough, Gillian.
"If it continues like this, we won't have anyone else to do the mission. After all, they're the only ones accepting the request after several days."
Gillian gritted his teeth. He glared at Aileen first, but after eting her chilling gaze, Gillian snorted and turned around. "You better follow my order. If you fail, I'm going to make you pay for it."
Little did they know, Clovis and the others were actually watching their argunt. Of course, Luci couldn't because she was the one driving.
"Hahaha. This is going to be hilarious. Erwin will surely provoke him all the ti." lody chuckled.
"I know, right? He's preparing for his own downfall." Christina nodded.
"Well, everything has been set up nicely. After this mission, he and the Heshton family will fall." Clovis nodded coldly.
