Chapter 240: Ch 240 : The Beginning of the Conspiracy
"So tell me, why do I have to team up with this guy, Garlos?!"
Dylan protested in frustration, pointing at Luther, who was leisurely sipping tea nearby.
"If I show even the slightest opening, this guy will definitely take the opportunity to take me out! Teaming up with him is way more dangerous for my life than working alone!"
Garlos remained calm as he responded, "Dylan, just take a moment to think—using what little brainpower you have. Your magic is clearly more suited for close combat. Pairing you with Luther, a mage proficient in mid-to-long-range attacks, improves your overall combat versatility. It's an advantage for completing the mission, with no downsides."
"You just insulted me with a straight face, didn't you?! What the hell do you mean by 'what little brainpower I have,' you bastard?! And your logic only works if we actually cooperate! This guy is obviously supposed to be my enemy!"
Dylan was on the verge of losing it, fuming at Garlos' sarcastic reasoning.
"Dylan-senpai, what are you even saying?" Luther took a leisurely sip of tea before adding, "Outside of official duels, killing is strictly forbidden. How could I possibly assassinate you so openly... (quietly) At least, not unless I do it in secret."
"Damn it, there are so many things wrong with this that I don't even know where to start!"
Dylan grabbed his light green hair in frustration, feeling like he was about to lose his mind.
"Tina believes we should finish assigning the tasks for this meeting as soon as possible. Otherwise, wasting time will significantly lower the success rate of this operation. Also, Stella-nee has fallen asleep out of boredom and is now slumped on Tina's shoulder, making Tina's shoulders feel very sore. Tina silently complains in her heart about these idiots," the red-haired girl sighed, looking at the increasingly chaotic scene.
"Ahem." Garlos cleared his throat a few times before speaking.
