For so many days, Anno had questioned numerous residents of the slum, patiently explaining the stakes, yet none were grateful. Instead of warning her, they defended the gangs, waiting to see her fail!
This was outrageous!
Anno felt not only anger but also a deep sense of grievance. Never before had she felt such malice from "people."
Previously, when she was kidnapped, it was by tieflings, a wicked race with Devil blood, so she could blame everything on the Devil.
But here, the residents of the slum... they were all ordinary people!
Anno felt her fervor turning into anger. She wanted to strike something, to vent, but faced with the vast, dilapidated slum, she couldn't find a target for her sword.
Beside her, a few squad members sighed softly. Most were city guards from the Mithril District, not nobility, but considered at least middle class. Raised with virtues, they never understood the resentment harbored by the poorest residents who were taxed heavily by the city while having their market overtaken by the Amazons.
"Maybe we should leave for now?" a squad member tentatively suggested. "We could rest a bit, sort through our clues, and plan the next stage of our investigation."
Others nodded wearily. Anno bit back her frustration, recognizing that this was essentially suggesting she abandon the investigation for now.
Taking their suggestion would mean conceding defeat to the South Harbor District's slum, returning empty-handed—a prospect her proud and determined nature couldn't easily accept.
Yet she couldn't come up with a reason convincing enough to keep everyone there.
"Captain—new discovery!"
Suddenly, a squad member hurried over and stopped in front of her, gasping: "We... found an abandoned lumberyard with suspicious activity—likely a gathering point for cultists!"
At this, Anno's eyes lit up, and her determination surged. She immediately got up and started outside. "Let's go, Warriors. We'll strike before they realize we're there!"
Her squad exchanged glances. A male Warrior cautioned, "But, Captain, our task is just to investigate. We've found a clue; we should report this."
Anno's eyebrows arched sharply. "Don't trust my abilities?"
The crowd was rendered speechless.
Indeed, the girl before them was young, younger than any of them. But she was a genuine level six Paladin.
And that was a noble Paladin—a warrior clad in plate armor, wielding a shield, draped in a protective cloak, carrying a pious shield—virtually invulnerable.
The aura of protection emanating from her not only shielded her but also spared her comrades from magic harm.
Even when wounded, she could draw upon the power of holy light to cleanse toxins and heal wounds for herself or her companions. As long as she wasn't instantly killed, she could recover from even the most grievous injuries!
Having a Paladin on the battlefield meant these guards, clueless about magic, no longer needed to worry about being outmaneuvered by magical tricks. They could wield their swords and engage confidently!
While games might require balance, reality didn't. Paladin was unanimously recognized as the strongest class, bar none.
Moreover, Anno had taken the "Oath of Vengeance" as a Paladin. This meant not only protecting her comrades but also delivering devastating blows to any enemy!
"This opportunity shouldn't be missed. If we delay any longer, the enemy might catch wind and relocate, and then it would truly be too late!" Seeing her comrades still hesitate, Anno, eager and restless, emphasized, "This is our squad's first mission; does everyone want to fail right from the start?"
"What are you afraid of? I'm here! Warriors, only courage brings glory. Hesitation is for cowards and leads only to failure and disgrace!"
The remaining squad members exchanged glances, and a surge of bravery rose within them.
Yes, we have a Paladin!
The advantage was theirs!
"Let's go, show us the way!"
Seeing her comrades' rekindled vigor, Anno turned and urged the messenger, who was still catching his breath, to lead the way, following close behind. With her heart burning with anger, she swore to show those cultists exactly what they were up against!

The next morning, before dawn, Hawthorne got out of bed, had breakfast, and with the help of Heidi and the others, changed into a brand-new white business suit.
He held a briefcase full of documents, and his hair was meticulously combed. Despite his youthful appearance, he still looked strikingly impressive.
Having dressed him perfectly, Cuivis looked at him with admiration. During those days, she had taken care of registering the company and preparing the clothing. Seeing the results now filled her with a sense of pride.
Heidi, on the other hand, looked a bit worried. "Is Master really going alone? How about I go with you? I could help protect you and lend some support."
Her suggestion was thoughtful, but Hawthorne firmly shook his head. "No need."
After a moment, he gave a reassuring smile. "Don't worry, the daytime security in Liberl Port is quite good. Gang fights and murders tend to happen at night."
"Moreover, I'm headed to the wealthiest Central District today, where the security is better than even the best parts of South Harbor District, day or night, so there's no need to worry!"
"Besides, I'm a level three Spellcaster now, which makes me quite formidable in this city. No need to worry about me!"
Despite his reassuring words, Heidi's eyes still held some concern. Finally, with no other choice, he sighed and said somewhat sternly, "Please, trust me."
The nun pouted slightly, looking a bit upset, and finally stopped protesting.
Seeing her displeased, Hawthorne stepped forward and gave her a soft kiss on the lips, saying, "I'm off. Take care of our home."
With this gesture, Heidi finally smiled and nodded vigorously. "Okay!"
Hawthorne then gave Cuivis a light kiss before turning to leave, walking out the front door of the convent as the witches watched him go.
