Chapter 410: Chapter 265: Silf Will Absolutely Not Betray Lord Jie Luo (2)_2

"Although I’m not entirely clear why my invisibility was detected by the demon, if all three of us had stayed there, it’s likely none of us would have survived."

"You were also considering resurrecting Lord Jie Luo, after all, resurrecting Lord Jie Luo is the most important thing for our team."

"As long as we can achieve this goal, everyone is expendable."

"Catherine can be sacrificed, Asina can be sacrificed, Ronald can be sacrificed, I, Silf, am also expendable."

"I won’t blame you sisters for leaving without looking back then."

The words, tinged with a hint of sarcasm, made the atmosphere around them tense and oppressive.

Rose Vesper, clever as she was, sensed that something was amiss. Silf seemed to suspect that her being discovered by the demon was a deliberate act by Aili.

Even if it wasn’t intentional, Silf was extremely dissatisfied with Aileen and Aili abandoning her and leaving.

It was good that Silf was alive, but... Rose Vesper’s headache intensified. A huge rift had appeared within the Hero Team because of this incident, and such a rift would be incredibly difficult to mend.

And this, this was all her responsibility.

Damn it!

Rose Vesper tried hard to control her facial expression to prevent a complete breakdown, managing to force a strained smile: "Silf, I’m so relieved you’re alive. You have no idea how Aili was crying just now because of guilt and sorrow."

"Is that so, then I’m truly sorry," Silf said nonchalantly.

"By the way, there is something I don’t know if Aili or Aileen have told you, so I’ll just say it again," Silf spoke indifferently: "Ronald is dead."

"His storage ring has fallen into Luo Meng’s hands, and Lord Jie Luo’s soul fragment should also be there."

Rose Vesper’s brows furrowed, another piece of bad news.

Why does every proactive strike bring back such disheartening news?

Luo Meng was not an easy opponent to deal with; his size was far too great. Regular attacks were as effective as tickling him, and trying to retrieve Ronald’s storage ring from this giant, who was dozens of meters tall, would be an extraordinary challenge.

Curse it, Ronald, what a waste.

Not only did he fail to bring back Lord Jie Luo’s soul fragment but he even made getting it back all the more difficult.

Why didn’t you just die?

Oh, that’s right, he is already dead.

"In addition, the reason Luo Meng was able to capture Ronald alive, and for the trap that lured us into falling for it, all were aided by someone named Horus," Silf continued.

Her tone was very cold, as though she was merely going through the motions of reporting, devoid of any enthusiasm.

"This person is very familiar with the Hero Team’s situation, to say he knows it like the back of his hand is not an exaggeration."

"Luo Meng also places great importance on this person. It seems that Horus has a deep hatred for both Lord Jie Luo and the Hero Team. Luo Meng even went as far as to fulfill Horus’s request to have thousands of demons torment Ronald..."

Rose Vesper’s mouth opened slightly in shock!

"There’s no need to doubt it, the torture was exactly what you’re imagining, only after Ronald was utterly dead did they dispose of his body."

"I suggest you look into this Horus, maybe you’ll find something," Silf glanced at Rose Vesper as she said this.

Rose Vesper nodded, committing these words to memory.

But, Horus?

Who in the world was this person?

Rose Vesper didn’t recall ever hearing this name, even if she wanted to investigate, where would she start?

"I understand..."

Silf nodded quietly, then turned to leave.

"Wait a second, Silf, you haven’t told me how you managed to escape... Also, what’s with the clothes you’re wearing?" Rose Vesper hurriedly asked: "Don’t you hate this kind of outfit the most?"

"I was about to be surrounded, and in desperation to find help, I contacted Qin Chu..."

Qin Chu?

Rose Vesper’s brows instantly knitted together: "Why didn’t you contact us, I..."

Silf remained silent.

Rose Vesper also quickly realized this and could only respond with a helpless, bitter smile.

Indeed, Aili and Aileen had just abandoned Silf. How could Silf possibly still trust the other members of the Hero Team under such circumstances?

Perhaps it was in that desperate situation that Silf groped for any straw, seeking out Qin Chu as her only option.

Considering Ronald was entertained by thousands of Demons, one could imagine how miserable Silf’s fate would be if she were captured alive. Under these circumstances, it was normal for Silf to grasp at any chance to survive.

Rose Vesper could understand this in her heart... but... she still couldn’t forgive.

Seeking the aid of the Second Generation Brave Warrior was a betrayal.

And what if Qin Chu really died over there? How would Lord Jie Luo be revived?

Did that whore Silf even consider this problem?

Malicious thoughts churned in her mind, but her face betrayed none of it.

Rose Vesper was just a bit puzzled, "But, Qin Chu was still in the camp before, how could he have arrived so quickly..."

"He had two Magic Scrolls in his hands, bought at a high price, that allow for long-distance spatial movement." Silf glanced at Rose Vesper, "It’s said that during his duel with the Prince, he bet all his belongings, even borrowed money, on the certainty of his victory..."

"You know, a Hero’s reputation is big, it’s not difficult to borrow money. So, he made a hefty sum."

"Then, encountering someone selling Magic Scrolls in the black market, he bought them, a million Mana each."

There was a subtle discrepancy between Silf’s statement about why Qin Chu appeared and the actual facts, a discrepancy requested by Qin Chu himself.

Although Silf didn’t understand his reason for doing so, she currently harbored resentment towards the Hero Team and consequently didn’t refuse.

The duel with the Prince... Every time Rose Vesper thought of that bet, she wanted to cry; she had gambled her entire wealth of ten million Mana on him, and the resulting loss was simply devastating.

A complete loss.

Recalling her heartbreak, tears nearly fell from Rose Vesper’s eyes.

"As for the clothes I’m wearing..."

"Qin Chu forced me to put this on, as a price for saving me, I have to serve as his Maid for a while..." Silf’s hands subconsciously clenched, her face flushed red, "That bastard, he even had the Maid costume ready."

"How much does he actually like Maids?"

Anger arose.

Seeing Silf’s flushed face and clenched hands, calling Qin Chu a bastard.

It seemed the fact that Qin Chu forced Silf into a Maid costume greatly infuriated her, probably making her despise Qin Chu to the core.

Still, Qin Chu really went too far.

Carrying around a Maid costume, could it be that he wanted to turn all the women around him into Maids?

Truly a terrible preference.

Silf took a deep breath to suppress the embarrassment in her heart, "So, for the next while, I will stay by Qin Chu’s side... You guys deal with the rest."

Staying here made her feel suffocated, sick; she’d rather stay by Qin Chu’s side, which felt somewhat more relaxed.

Leaving these words behind, Silf turned and left.

The room was left with only those three women, and the atmosphere became a bit oppressive.

The expressions of Aileen and Aili were somewhat awkward.

The former Hero Team, seemingly intact, was actually on the brink of falling apart, and they were the cause of it.

"Rose Vesper, don’t you think Silf is getting too close to Qin Chu? She’s actually going to become his Maid? Do you think she might betray us?" After a long while, Aili slowly spoke, "If Qin Chu finds out about our plans..."

Rose Vesper was somewhat irritated in heart.

It was all your doing. If only you had hesitated even a little bit instead of decisively abandoning Silf, her resentment wouldn’t be this strong.

Taking a deep breath, Rose Vesper said, "Don’t worry..."

"Silf will absolutely not betray Lord Jie Luo, she will not betray us. This one thing, we can be absolutely certain!"

Rose Vesper was very clear about how deep Silf’s feelings for Jie Luo were!
