"Captured?"
At this mont, Ais and Rephia both looked surprised.
Only Reiger slightly squinted his eyes and actually started to smile.
"Is it really like this?"
Reiger wasn’t surprised by this result at all.
Unlike him, Ais and the others were furrowing their brows and began to discuss.
"It’s normal for the Hestia Familia to be unable to defeat the Istar Familia."
"The problem is, knowing they can’t win, why would the Hestia Familia still choose to hide a mber of the Istar Familia?"
"..."
Raul, Rephia, and Ais all expressed confusion, unable to understand Bell Crowney’s actions.
"Could it be he’s taken a liking to a prostitute?"
Rephia began to show so contempt.
"Don’t say such things." Reiger tapped Rephia on the forehead, saying, "It’s not as bad as you think."
Upon hearing this, the sowhat silent Ais seed to have keenly sensed sothing.
"... Do you know sothing?"
Ais looked at Reiger and asked.
Rephia and Raul also paused slightly and looked at Reiger.
"Well, sort of."
Reiger didn’t deny it.
He naturally understood the reason behind all this.
The reason, of course, was related to Haruhi.
Sanjono Haruhi, this fox girl, like her kin, hailed from the Extre East Region as part of a magical race, and was even a noble.
The reason she ended up as a prostitute for the Istar Familia was because she was frad as a child for violating clan rules, and was expelled from her ho by her father.
After being expelled, Sanjono Haruhi was first kidnapped by a scheming small-person clan mber who took a fancy to her, then fell into the hands of thieves, before being sold to Fengyue Street in Orario, becoming a prostitute.
It’s safe to say that the life of this fox girl was a tragedy, filled with many misfortunes.
Yet, her misfortune officially began when she beca a prostitute and joined the Istar Familia.
Upon joining the Istar Familia, with the blessing of Ishtar engraved on her back, Haruhi’s greatest talent was discovered.
The ergence of the strongest demon art in history delighted Ishtar, and inspired dark intentions.
To defeat Frey and crush the Freyja Clan, Ishtar devised a sinister plan.
Haruhi was ant to be the sacrifice in this plan.
That’s why Reiger caused such a scene in Fengyue Street yesterday, to liberate this girl from her cage.
He teleported Haruhi away, but didn’t directly rescue her.
Firstly, since Haruhi was indeed a mber of the Istar Familia, with Ishtar’s blessing engraved on her back, if Reiger brought her back, the Loki Familia would find it difficult to protect Haruhi under circumstances that aren’t legitimate.
Secondly, Reiger knew very well that Haruhi could only find the aning of her life by going to the Hestia Familia.
The fox girl longed for a hero to save her.
The fox girl perceived herself as a demon girl bringing calamity.
Within the Hestia Familia was a mber from the Extre East Region, familiar with Haruhi since childhood, able to accept the self-denying fox girl; Bell Crowney also had the potential to beco Haruhi’s hero, and even faced with the challenge of the Istar Familia, a major faction in the city, he would certainly step forward to protect that girl.
In the original story, Bell Crowney, due to that mber from the Extre East Region, quickly entered Fengyue Street soon after advancing to Lv.3 and found Haruhi.
Therefore, Reiger caused a commotion in the entertainnt district, exacting revenge on the Istar Familia while sending Haruhi away.
Though he randomly teleported Haruhi, he believed Bell Crowney would surely find the fox girl before the Istar Familia’s people in that situation.
The reason is simple.
When advancing to Lv.2, Bell Crowney acquired a developnt ability — "Luck."
As the na suggests, it’s a developnt ability akin to a blessing that brings good fortune.
With this developnt ability, the probability of Bell Crowney overcoming dangers and achieving his goals was undoubtedly far higher than normal people.
With "Luck" on his side, as long as Bell Crowney was determined to find his childhood friend for his companion, he would undoubtedly find Haruhi ahead of everyone else, under various coincidences.
Once he finds Haruhi and learns of her plight, he will surely choose to shelter her, especially since Haruhi’s childhood friend is within the Hestia Familia.
Of course, this isn’t necessarily a good thing.
No matter what, Haruhi is still a mber of the Istar Familia, with Ishtar’s blessing engraved on her back.
With Ishtar’s Divine Blood as a connection, the Istar Familia finding Haruhi and confronting the Hestia Familia is just a matter of ti.
When the ti cos, one side wants to protect Haruhi at all costs, while the other wants to reclaim Haruhi, leading to conflict or even direct warfare between the two familial factions, which is entirely foreseeable.
Reiger foresaw all of this.
He also anticipated that facing the Istar Familia, the Hestia Familia would definitely be defeated.
Bell Crowney, as the captain of the Hestia Familia, even if he was the protagonist of the original story, was ultimately just a Level 3 second-tier adventurer at this point.
The other mbers of the Hestia Familia were either Level 2 or even Level 1; how could they possibly be opponents of the Istar Familia?
The Istar Familia wouldn’t even need to send Fulini; as long as Aisha and other combat prostitutes step in, they could easily take down the Hestia Familia.
