Chapter 180


    "What?"


    "My friend in the Organization. I''ll introduce you to her and help bring you together. How about


    that?" Lylian''s eyes twinkled.


    "You''re selling out your friend just like that?"


    "Don''t put it so crudely. I''m just the matchmaker; the rest is up to you."


    "And if it doesn''t work out, wouldn''t I be at a loss?"


    "Believe in yourself. You actually have some merits. You may not be the best looking, but you''ve got


    a strong build. You might not be likable, but you''re talented. You might have a dark heart, but you''re


    tough. You might be violent, but you can protect when it counts. You''re... well, you have your good


    points. I think my mentor sister will like your type. To use her words from the tournament, you are ''A


    true warrior!''"


    "Are youplimenting me?" vin was at a loss for words.


    Balder and Cedrick shook their heads; the girl sure was bold. Teasing her, Balder said, "Miss Lylian,


    what about me? Could you introduce me to a friend , too?"


    "You? No way. My friend s are delicate flowers; you might crush them."


    vin couldn''t hold back hisughter.


    N?velDrama.Org holds ? this.


    Balder scratched his head awkwardly. He was indeed heavyset, but not that heavy.


    "Come on, tell me your secret first," Lylian pressed, genuinely curious. If she could get her hands on


    it, it would be like possessing a life-saving skill.


    "Go back to where you came from. I''m not telling."


    "Come on, how about I introduce you to a couple of friends? Three if you''re lucky."


    At that moment, a bevy of beautiful maidens arrived in the corridor, fluttering like a group of


    enchanting songbirds. They soon found Lylian in vin''s chambers. "What are you doing here?


    We''ve been looking for you."


    They were draped in bathrobes that hugged their curves. Their lithe bodies and slender arms were


    hinted at beneath the fabric, exuding a misty allure. They must have just emerged from the hot


    springs because their skin was dewy and radiant, setting hearts racing.


    vin and hispanions were overwhelmed; these women were so bold, simply waltzing right in


    without any sense of modesty.


    "I''vee to discuss some matters with vin." Lylian winked at him, gesturing subtly toward the


    outermost woman among her sisters – a striking beauty towering at least six feet tall with legs that


    embodied perfection. Her serene demeanor and exquisite features wereplemented by the


    glimpse of her skin through her bathrobe. She was the kind of beauty one could never forget. She


    was none other than the Advanced Mage Protégé of the Floral Enchantress, Aymee, the leader of


    their delegation.


    vin was speechless, hastily gesturing for her to leave.


    "Think it over, I''ll be waiting for you at the city hall. It''s a rare opportunity; don''t waste it," Lylian


    nudged her sisters as they left.


    "Lord vin, do visit the Floral Enchantress when you''re free," the girls called out cheerily.


    Balder sipped his wine and chuckled. "I see you''re quite popr with thedies. Ever thought about


    winning a few over?"


    "Not interested."


    vin soaked in the medicinal spring, continuing to enjoy its nourishment while quietly practicing


    Restoration Mantra. He drew Restoration Aether from the fragrant Seraphic Springs, directing it into


    their room.


    The incident with Marak caused a stir, significant enough to rm the eight Commanders.


    Every sh of Eight Orders was under the watchful eye of the Five Lords; it was a fact that couldn''t


    be avoided. They just tried to keep things under control. As long as the Five Lords didn''t overstep,


    they would turn a blind eye. Over the years, the five royal houses had mostly yed by the rules, at


    most sending spies to observe in secret, careful not to provoke the Eight Orders. Never had a royal


    house dared to send someone of significance.


    But this time, Lord Viperbane was audacious indeed, sending his son. Were there more powerful


    guardians lurking in the shadows?


    Search!


    At themand, all the mid-aged Protégés apanying the Eight Orders dispersed into the


    night-covered Warriors'' Vale. These seasoned Protégés were ruthless in their searches, not


    heeding the family of Doramon''s pleas as they purged the city of those aligned with Lord Viperbane.


    The Commanders of the Eight Orders gathered to deliberate Marak''s fate. Killing him was out of the


    question, but so was letting him go. They even suspected Lord Viperbane might have more troops


    hidden along the way, ready to ambush an Organization''s team. The possibility was real, as


    ambushes had happened before, so they had to be cautious.


    As for vin, no one held him responsible, but the Elders of Cobalt Strike were displeased; he had


    brought them trouble once again.
