"Because of 100 power stones i have release one more extra chapter with regular chapters" Back to the story

"Gu Tang, have you been okay all this time with that Bronya?"

Stelle patted Gu Tang all over, checking for injuries.

"That's right, she was fierce when she captured us," March 7th guarded Gu Tang, glaring at Bronya.

"Don't worry, I've allied with him, and we're not your enemies for now," Bronya said, crossing her arms and sighing.

"Through my efforts, I've successfully turned Bronya into a friend, and now she will help us find the Stellaron," Gu Tang said proudly, puffing out his chest.

Bronya glared at him: "It's Bronya! And who said we're friends? Do you have any proof?"

[Ding! The mission "Wavering Resolve" is complete.]

[Bronya has become an ally and will no longer be hostile to you.]

[You have obtained the item "Essence Hydration Liquid."]

"Alright, let's save the emotional reunion for later. Our priority now is to solve the problem in the large mining area."

Seele interrupted Gu Tang's reunion with the others.

Gu Tang looked at her: "Indeed, do you have any suggestions?"

"If you ask me, all this chaos was caused by the vagrants, just drive them all out," Seele said bluntly.

"Wait, I have an objection," Bronya stepped forward. "The vagrants' lives are already difficult. If they're driven out of the mining area, not only will they struggle to find food and shelter, but they might also be attacked by the Fragmentum monsters."

"Huh? Who are you, anyway? Wait a minute..." Seele looked at Bronya's Silvermane Guards uniform. "I remember now, you're the girl commanding the Silvermane Guards that March 7th mentioned..."

Seele walked up to Bronya with a menacing look: "Let me make it clear to you, the mining team already gave them job opportunities. It's their fault for not cherishing them and destroying everyone's trust."

Bronya stared back at Seele unflinchingly: "Even so, we can't solve the issue with such harsh methods. These vagrants were once miners too, but they lost their homes due to Fragmentum erosion."

"Are you trying to guilt-trip me? What would an upper-city princess like you understand? Every day is a struggle for survival in the underworld; just being alive is fortunate enough!" Seele's tone grew increasingly agitated.

Bronya clenched her fists: "Let me ask you, if one day, your friends and family became vagrants due to Fragmentum erosion, would you still give the same suggestion?"

Thud!

Seele slammed her scythe into the ground.

Her face turned completely dark as she stepped closer, locking eyes with Bronya, almost growling: "Say that again... Do you think I haven't seen my home being eroded by the Fragmentum?"

"Hey, what do you think you're doing to Lady Bronya?" The vagrants behind Bronya stepped forward, brandishing their weapons.

"Hmm? Planning to start something in front of us Wildfire?" The Wildfire members behind Seele also raised their weapons, pointing them at the vagrants.

The atmosphere grew heavy, like a powder keg about to explode.

"What... what do we do? It looks like they're about to fight," March 7th said anxiously.

Gu Tang patted his chest: "This is when you need my eloquence."

Stelle looked at Gu Tang: "Gu Tang convinced Bronya to become an ally, so maybe his negotiation skills are really impressive."

"...But isn't he socially anxious?" March 7th raised an eyebrow in doubt.

"Hmph, let me dispel your doubts with action, March 7th," Gu Tang said confidently, walking towards Seele and Bronya.

He walked into the tense standoff and said: "Ladies, now is not the time for infighting. Please, for my sake..."

"Get lost!" Seele and Bronya turned and shouted at Gu Tang simultaneously.

Gu Tang swung his fist and knocked them both out.

Thud, thud.

The two girls fell to the ground.

"Hmph... Ungrateful," Gu Tang shook his hand and then used Extraction on the two of them.

[Name: Seele Oil]

[Type: Enhancement Item]

[Level: 4]

[Effect: Increases quantum damage by 75% and speed by 50 for allies.]

Then, Gu Tang pointed to the broken palanquin fragments: "You there! Fix it!"

"Yes, Lord Gu Tang!"

The vagrants shouted, swarming the fragments and hammering away.

Clang, clang, thud, clatter—

They fixed the palanquin in just ten seconds.

The repaired palanquin now looked more like a large stretcher.

"Alright, put these two on it, and let's continue towards the depths of the mine," Gu Tang said, pointing to the unconscious Bronya and Seele on the ground.

The vagrants looked at the Wildfire members: "One of them is your leader. You need to provide two people to carry her."

Wildfire looked at the two girls on the ground and said: "Your leader looks heavier, so we'll provide one person. That's fair."

Gu Tang smacked his palm in frustration: "Damn, I can't argue with that."

The vagrants sighed: "These Wildfire people are quite smart, putting the facts right in front of us."

"...It seems these vagrants don't really respect Bronya," March 7th commented, speechless.

------------------------------------------

Gu Tang, Dan Heng, March 7th, and Stelle.

A group of vagrants, a group of Wildfire members.

Two unconscious girls.

This strange group was heading towards the deepest part of the large mining area.

"Hey, let me ask, what have Gu Tang and Bronya been doing these past few days? Anything interesting?" March 7th curiously asked a vagrant.

Stelle looked at March 7th, puzzled: "Why not ask Gu Tang directly?"

"Seems like you don't get it, Stelle. The observer's perspective is sometimes more interesting," March 7th said, shaking her finger in a 'you-don't-get-it' manner.

The vagrant scratched his head: "Interesting... Oh, right, we discovered that while Gu Tang was dating Bronya, he also had a fling with Bronya's mother."

This sentence nearly made March 7th pee her pants.
