Chapter 1652: Returning to Scarlet Flames
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
It wasn’t a permanent solution for the Rose of Death’s survival to rely on the Fearless Alliance’s finances. Eventually, the Fearless Alliance would develop resentment and complaints.
“Okay, Master, we understand. We know about the mercenary side; there definitely won’t be any problems!” Little Lolita hastily said.
After overlooking some small matters, Ye Wanwan got up and left the Rose of Death’s headquarters.
Near the Fearless Alliance’s headquarters, Big Dipper had been waiting next to the car for a long time.
Ye Wanwan had already decided yesterday to have Big Dipper drive her to Scarlet Flames Academy today.
“Sis Feng, when will we go to China?” Big Dipper asked Ye Wanwan halfway through the drive.
“Finish gathering everyone with Seven Star first. It’ll be within the next few days,” Ye Wanwan replied.
“Sis Feng, have you been to China before…? What fun things are there to do in China…?” Big Dipper was br.i.m.m.i.n.g with curiosity.
People like Big Dipper and Seven Star rarely left the Independent State their whole lives. Even if they left the Independent State, they would only visit the little countries near the Independent State that were behind the times.
“There are too many fun things to do.”
“Haha, that’s great… I’ve never visited China…” Big Dipper chuckled gleefully, antic.i.p.ation evident in his voice.
In the afternoon, the car finally reached the base of Scarlet Flames Academy.
After Ye Wanwan got out of the car, she had Big Dipper drive back to the Fearless Alliance before embarking on her trek up the mountain.
…
Standing in front of Scarlet Flames Academy’s entrance, Ye Wanwan briskly did her makeup before entering the academy.
Ye Wanwan didn’t hurry toward the D-rank mercenary cla.s.sroom and made her way to the mission issuance area instead.
There was currently a sea of people around the issuance area, so she was forced to wait on the perimeters and watch.
Some time later, Ye Wanwan frowned.
After finis.h.i.+ng two A-rank missions, where should she go to verify completion of her missions…?
“Junior Sister Ye?!” Li Xin suddenly popped up from who knew where and stopped next to Ye Wanwan with astonishment evident on his face.
“What is it?” Ye Wanwan stared at him, confused.
“What do you mean what is it… Junior Sister, didn’t you defect? Why did you come back?!” Li Xin anxiously examined their surroundings.
“What?!” Ye Wanwan was dumbstruck. “I defected?”
“That’s right! Our cla.s.s instructor said you defected!” Li Xin quietly explained to her.
A chilly glint surfaced in her eyes.
That instructor, Zhang Da, and Zhang Zuonian truly wanted her life. However, whether she defected or not wasn’t determined by him.
“Say, does a sideshow D-rank mercenary like me need to defect?” Ye Wanwan looked at Li Xin.
If a mercenary reached S-rank, they weren’t allowed to separate from their academy without permission and would be considered to have defected even if they switched alliances to a different academy. But a D-rank mercenary…
“I myself know that reasoning; it’s simply a joke for someone to say D-rank mercenaries like us defected, Junior Sister Ye, but that instructor, Zhang Da, definitely wants you dead… so he intentionally reported to his superiors that you defected…” Li Xin said with a sigh.
Ye Wanwan helplessly shook her head, utterly uninterested in paying Zhang Da and his nephew, Zhang Zuonian, any heed.
“That’s right—where do I go to verify completion of my missions after I finish them?” Ye Wanwan asked Li Xin.
Li Xin entered Scarlet Flames Academy a few months earlier than her, so he had more knowledge than her about the academy’s inner workings.
