Chapter 405: How could they let a 17-year-old do as she pleased?
"Nah, no way. Don’t include me in that. It’ll only make me a public figure." Alice said and laughed. "And when that happens, I can’t go out to eat fried chicken peacefully without worrying about my face being seen by others. It would be such a bother, so I think I’ll pass."
Adopt listened to this and laughed. Yes, this was Alice. The simple child who was more concerned about filling her stomach than conquering the world.
Because of this simplicity, he didn’t even need to worry about her getting overly ambitious and greedy because of the power she wielded.
She did act arrogant and a little haughty, but it was only because the older ones wouldn’t listen to her if she didn’t. If she acted meek and decided to listen to their every word, she would only end up running mad in anger.
Alice was a free spirit.
She didn’t want to stand in the spotlight, but she failed to realize that after the subjugation was completed by just her and Leo, no matter how much they tried to hide it, the world would get to know it, and her face would be all over the globe.
"Then, shall we get going?"
Since Adolf promised to assist her and exempt her from joining a guild to function, he decided to announce it as soon as they went back to the meeting hall so that no one would have funny ideas like how they were going to recruit her once things were over.
There were a lot of complaints, but Adolf made it clear that if they wanted to take Alice under their guild, then they would have to defeat him and defeat Alice afterwards.
Of course, they knew they couldn’t defeat him, so they gave up on that idea.
But they wondered, though. Why did the assessment end with no climatic action? The Chairman didn’t even get to carry out an attack, as if he was satisfied with just seeing how much force her attacks carried.
