Reincarnation of the Strongest Healer

Chapter 1393: Sunrise Inner City Part 10

One hour and 30 minutes later...

Town Hall, Main Office.

Xu Feng’s silhouette appeared as he calmly sat down in his chair.

The next second later, Carmen’s silhouette also appeared, but her complexion was visibly pale.

”You’re too ruthless, Feng.” Carmen’s virtual body was sparkly clean, but her waist still felt like it was aching terribly.

He had shown no mercy and sent her to nirvana so many times. She nearly lost her voice in the process.

”Acting like you couldn’t escape.” Xu Feng chuckled softly.

Carmen’s face flushed instantly. If she really hated it, then no one could force her. And that included Xu Feng.

Alas, she was long charmed by this devilish scheming man. As much as he always schemed against others, he had never done it to her.

He was very transparent and answered everything she asked.

”Anyway, it seemed like the raid sign-up was filled to the brim.” Carmen checked on the sign-up and was amused by the applicants.

A raid personally led by Xu Feng was naturally the hottest commodity within the guild.

”Let me guess, you’re making Veronica organize them?” Xu Feng raised an eyebrow.

”Of course, not!” Carmen’s face quickly turned pale. Ever since Veronica forced her to take lessons, she had been avoiding the former to the best of her ability.

Moreover, Veronica had stated that she wished to take a break. Unless it was something important, they better not drop her any workload.

”Look at how traumatized you have been.” He laughed merrily and informed her. ”In this raid, Veronica will be joining us. I’ve already organized most of the strategy, and she will be in charge of team setup.”

”Eh, she’s joining too?” She gasped and appeared visibly surprised.

Wasn’t she supposed to be taking a break?

Why did she suddenly change her mind?

”Did you say something to her?” Carmen wasn’t happy about the news. Instead, she was immensely worried that this person had sold her out again.

”Do I really look that despicable?” Xu Feng squinted his eyes.

Her reaction and expression clearly showed she was suspecting him of doing something sneaky behind her back.

”I’ve told Veronica that she has been cooped up in the office for far too long. I plan on using this raid to get her back in shape and improve her gear, too.”

Because the Sunrise Inner City was unique from other dungeons, there were some items that could only be dropped for that person.

And within the dungeon, there was an item that would be extremely beneficial for an Arcane Mage class.

It was called Archmage Robe, an exclusive relic that could only be found in the Sunrise Inner City. What made this Archmage Robe special was that it had a similar growth effect to his Convergence Staff.

As long as Veronica cherished the robe well and gave it a significant upgrade, then her DPS output would be insane.

”Ah, the Archmage Robe...” Carmen was startled by the item’s name. ”How did you always know this information, Feng?”

”Through readings.”

”I don’t believe you. None of them is even in the library. Swear by your honors if you really learn them through readings.”

She thought he would quickly retract his statement because they were still people who believed in the swearing honor system.

But little did she know... Xu Feng was honestly speaking the truth. The only problem was that he didn’t read it in this timeline, but in the past timeline.

Just like that, he raised three fingers up and swore in honor.

”I swear that I read them all in documents and books. If I lie, then may Zhao Kai’s ass be on fire. Super hot fire kind!” Xu Feng decided to use Zhao Kai’s name because he was his good buddy.

Aren’t good buddies meant to go through hardship together?

”...”

Sure enough, Carmen nearly stumbled to the ground. Her face twitched in disbelief at how fast he threw his friend under the bus like that.

However, when she thought carefully, she understood that Xu Feng truly cared for his buddy.

She had only briefly mentioned how Zhao Kai was being maliciously discussed regarding his capability and rank to him. Then, in the blink of an eye, almost all of those malicious rumors were gone.

Even though Xu Feng never once mentioned it or showed that he was involved in it, Carmen was certain that the incident was definitely related to him.

After all, the spreading rumors players had to apologize publicly in the Game Forum and promised to compensate the Vanguard Guild for the damages.

Carmen honestly couldn’t think of anyone else except for Xu Feng, who was such a money-grubber.

Just at this moment, the door opened, and someone’s footsteps nearly caused Carmen to jump up like a scaredy cat.

Without hesitation, she hurriedly dashed toward Xu Feng’s side and hid behind him.

The only person who could scare someone like her so deeply was, naturally, none other than Veronica.

”Hah, as expected. Once a bestie finds a man for themselves, they forget their bestie right away.” Veronica narrowed her eyes and glanced at these two dog couples.

She didn’t know how these two suddenly got together. There were some signs of Carmen having a crush, but that was about it.

”You two are really trying to blind me, right?” She took a seat and asked.

”It’s more like you are scared off by the lectures.” Xu Feng lightly chuckled and joked. Needless to say, his arm was quickly pinched by Carmen, who glared at him fiercely.

”Shush, don’t expose me like that.” She whispered softly to him.

However, Carmen could never have imagined that she was about to receive the shock of her life.

”Scared her off?” Veronica clicked her tongue. She rolled her eyes and crossed her legs. ”You were the one who told me to give her the harsh lecture and be extremely critical. Don’t try to skirt away your responsibility.”

’Hmph, who told you to dump so much paperwork on me? Let’s see how you’re going to face Carmen’s wrath.’

She sneered inwardly and quietly watched the drama unfold before her.

As if to prove a point, she even got a bucket of popcorn prepared.

Such a deliberate act made it painfully obvious to Xu Feng that she was here to claim the overworkload.
