Chapter 105 - Thanks From Ganesha Familia!
"You did well, but it would have been better if you could have spared Olivas like you did with Valletta."
Finn walked up to Luke and glanced at Olivas' dead body, then at Valletta nailed to the ground before saying, "You have made a great contribution this time. Evilus' forces are almost completely wiped out from the surface, so the days ahead should be much more comfortable."
"So, you already knew that Ais and I would get attacked."
Luke pouted.
Finn and his team arrived so quickly on the scene, obviously well-prepared.
There was no mistake in his earlier speculation.
"Didn't I give you a hint before? And I also believe these people pose no threat to your safety."
Finn shrugged, smiling at Luke.
"Finn! You treacherous pallum!"
"You schemed against me. All of this was planned by you in advance, right?"
"Intentionally concealing the true strength of this little monster, then giving a fatal blow to us at a critical moment. I never thought you would also use such despicable means!"
Valletta lay on the ground, glaring fiercely at Finn.
The moment this hateful pallum appeared, she attributed everything to his calculations.
Valletta's roar successfully caught Finn's attention.
He walked up to her, looking at this woman who had been plotting against him for years.
"I didn't intentionally hide Luke's strength to ambush you. To be honest, I really didn't want him to confront you."
Finn sighed as he looked at Valletta, who was nailed to the ground, with one arm severed, looking miserable but still roaring at him.
"Today's events were indeed designed by me, but if it weren't for my intervention, how many of these people behind you do you think would survive today's incident?"
With that, Finn glanced at Luke.
"When it comes to his enemies, he won't show any mercy."
Finn's words reminded Valletta of the scene where Luke killed Olivas without any hesitation.
She looked at Luke, who had an innocent look on his face, trying to imagine the consequences if Finn wasn't here.
A cold breath instantly invaded Valletta's heart.
Finn saw her expression and knew she understood.
"If it weren't for me today, there would only be one outcome: Luke taking you, the only captive, back to our residence."
With that said, Finn ignored Valletta and turned back to his team.
As he left, he left Valletta with one last sentence.
"I originally thought that based on your personality, the only captive would be Olivas. Well, your luck is really good today."
…
Next, this group of Evilus members was quickly captured by Loki Familia.
However, ultimately, it was not Loki Familia that detained them, but Ganesha Familia.
Ganesha Familia is the largest Familia in Orario, not in terms of strength but in numbers.
At this point in time, Ganesha Familia is the only Familia in all of Orario with over a hundred members.
The number of adventurers in their Familia is unparalleled in Orario.
And their Familia's strength is not weak either.
Ganesha Familia boasts over a dozen level 4 adventurers, with most of them nearing the crucial stage of ranking up.
Once they accumulate enough high-quality excelia, this largest Familia in Orario is likely to have over ten first-class adventurers at once.
Most adventurers rarely solo challenge monsters like Luke and Ais did when the time comes for leveling up.
The usual practice is for several or a dozen adventurers to form a team and collectively challenge monsters to slowly accumulate achievements/excelia.
Through long-term accumulation, slowly and steadily breaking through the level-up threshold.
So, most adventurers tend to linger for a long time before reaching the "rank up" stage, and Ganesha Familia is the most representative of this situation.
Although this method of leveling up is slow, safety is its advantage, making it the preferred choice for the vast majority of adventurers in Orario.
Because of their large numbers and formidable strength, and because their god, Ganesha, is a benevolent god who loves Orario and its people, Ganesha Familia are entrusted by the guild to maintain urban security, constituting part of the city's official forces and earning the nickname "Orario's military police."
After Finn and his team captured these Evilus members, they handed them over to Ganesha Familia, who arrived shortly afterward.
Throughout Orario, only Ganesha Familia has prison facilities for holding criminals.
"I truly appreciate your assistance this time. Your willingness to act as bait and endanger yourself for the safety of people in this city truly demonstrates your nobility, which I deeply admire."
The woman in front of Luke, who specially came to thank him, is the leader of Ganesha Familia, Shakti Varma.
Approaching her 30s, she has short blue hair, and her charming face and tall figure made her quite popular in the city.
As the leader of Ganesha Familia, Shakti is a level 4 adventurer with the alias "Ankusha."
It is rumored that she is very close to reaching level 5 and is likely to become a first-class adventurer in the near future.
After leading her Familia to the scene to receive Evilus members, Shakti immediately approached Luke and thanked him for his willingness to act as bait.
However, Luke, faced with Shakti's gratitude, looked completely puzzled.
What's going on?
I was just walking down the street and got attacked, how did it suddenly turn into such a noble act of self-sacrifice?
Luke sneakily glanced over at Finn and noticed his gesture, and he instantly understood everything.
It's true that Luke was attacked while walking down the street, but outsiders are unaware of his situation.
Because Finn anticipated this event in advance and swiftly surrounded the area with his team, making others feel that it was a pre-planned strategy by Loki Familia.
Only Finn and Luke knew deep down that this incident was actually 70% unexpected and 30% planned.
Finn merely anticipated that members of Evilus might attack Luke and Ais and made some contingency plans accordingly, that's all.
It was not that he was deliberately leaving Luke and Ais alone to attract their attention.
Valletta and the others have been dealing with Finn for many years.
If it were really an intentional trap, they wouldn't have fallen for it so easily.
However, it may not be the same in the eyes of outsiders.
Not to mention outsiders, even Riveria and Gareth were fooled by the clever Finn.
"Finn the Braver" was superior in strategy, while "Sword Master" Luke sacrificed himself for others.
Loki Familia's quick reaction led to the successful capture of members of Evilus who had been disrupting the city's order for many years.
That's the truth perceived by others.
Actually, looking at the results, this understanding isn't entirely wrong.
Luke and Ais were indeed in danger when they were attacked, and Finn's anticipation of this event and his preparedness could indeed be seen as pre-planning.
Moreover, the accomplishment of successfully capturing members of Evilus was not false at all.
From this perspective, it seems there's no mistake in their understanding.
Seeing Finn signaling to him, and after a brief moment of contemplation, Luke understood the situation more or less.
