"Fine I will belive this once." Anna's obsession with me was worrying but that wasn't a problem for today. For now, I need her and who knows maybe her eerie charm will grow on me. You can never tell.

"Now that I have deleted the photos, please leave," I asked Aba and Agatha to leave.

"We want to but someone is not letting us." Commented Agatha referring to the locked space stopping them from teleporting.

"You got your legs right, use them, and walk out of here." I pointed out. It was really scary that I had to point out to people they could just walk, instead of teleportation.

"No, wait. You haven't joined my wolf fang mercenary group yet." Aba exclaimed as I pointed out that she wasn't welcomed here.

"Princess, he is a pervert!" Agatha protested.

"That is the only way we can recruit Untaintable legend into our mercenary group," Aba explained her reason to extend her invitation to me to join her mercenary group.

"What? You are still inviting me to join your mercenary group even after what I said earlier? How low is your mercenary group's self-respect bar? No card apprentice with self-respect will join your mercenary group." My words were harsh but they were true. But what I didn't understand is why Aba kept trying to recruit people to her mercenary group who has no respect for her and whom she can't put her trust in.

"Hey, watch what you say! And don't be hasty to reject my offer. First, listen to the benefits that my mercenary group can provide you." Aba was surprisingly tolerating and shameless when it came to recruiting new members. She looked like a woman on a mission. It felt like she desperately wanted this mercenary group to succeed. And was willing to do anything in power to make it happen. But the poor girl didn't know the way she was going about this was wrong.

"There is nothing that you can offer that Anna and her family cannot offer so I respectfully decline your offer. And a word of advice, you cannot buy people's locality by throwing money at them." I respected Aba for trying but she was walking down the wrong path and the only person eligible to correct her, Demigod Windsor, was too busy to show her the ropes.

"I know silly, loyalty and trust can only be gained through adventuring and facing hardship together," Aba replied to my advice.

"..." Hearing Aba I was left speechless, her understanding of loyalty and friends seemed to be straight out of a fairy tale. She seemed to have a very naive take on everything related to her mercenary group. It felt like she was using a children's storybook as a reference to run her mercenary group.

"Are you sure? There must be something you want, name it I will get it for you. I can help you enter Morning Star university." Aba said desperately. She cared so much about the boy joining her mercenary group because Intaintable Legend has informed her that if she were to recruit him then she would join her mercenary group.

"Sorry, Aba. I can admit myself into the Morning Star university as long as I want to. Nothing you can say will change my mind.

Actually, I do not have time to spare for others. I am very busy with the work of my adventure guild, high school gan-group, mercenary squadron, card boutique, and other companies that I take care of." I felt like bragging as I listed my various roles and business ventures.

"What? You have your own adventure guild and mercenary squadron." Aba asked in disbelief.

"Didn't you do a background check on me before coming to recruit me?" I couldn't help but ask Aba, seeing the astonishment on her face.

"I did but all that came up was your card boutique and the tournament that you won a few days ago." Replied Aba. The background check she spoke of was nothing more than a grimoire network search of my name.

"..." I couldn't help but compare Aba to Anna, they both are the demigod's direct descendants but the difference between them is so vast. Anna was raised by her single mom but most of Ann's upbringing was handled by her relatives and they still strive to support her. Similarly, Aba was raised by a single father but he didn't have many relatives to take care of Aba and fill the roles that he failed to meet. Anna had her entire family backing her while she was lazy but Aba had no one to rely on, nobody helped her understand what mistakes she was making. She had to figure it out all by herself through the consequences of her mistake.

"Why do I suddenly sense pity for me in your eyes?" Aba asked, feeling confused.

"Oh honey, you have a lot to learn about society. Good luck out there." I did feel pity for Aba because she showed great passion but sadly nobody was there to guide her.

"Hey, you don't get to pity me. And how is a nobody like you own an adventure guild and a mercenary squadron? I don't believe you." Aba could not stomach the fact that somebody of her same age had successfully established a guild and mercenary group. Not to mention he was an orphan from a third-rate city while she is a demigod descendant.

"Believe what you want. I didn't establish an adventure guild and a mercenary group for you. Now if you have nothing else to discuss, show yourself out." I could understand why Aba would feel like that. And her feelings were common, after all, she did her best to run her mercenary group but it was still in the team building phase even though it was established six months ago.

"Why are you so bent on sending us away? And sorry I shouldn't have called you a liar without verifying first." What Aba meant was it was wrong of her to call me a liar without verifying my claims. Which meant she believed I was a lair and would call me out once she had proof.
