Payback Time

Even though it was difficult for the Uzui party members to surrender all of their belongings to the two adventurers in front of them, they persisted.

Uzui used the party function to whisper some words, similarly, it was used to have a conversation with all the members who were inside a specific party without the enemies noticing, it looked more like telepathy magic.

After hearing Uzui's plan, three of them calmed down, their eyes meeting in the middle and a malicious smile on their face.

"We can give you all of our items, but you must promise not to harm any of us and to leave after this transaction." Usui said calmly, thinking about his future plans as the number of adventurers nearby increased.

They hurriedly placed all of their belongings on the ground, and each of them displayed their inventory to demonstrate that there was nothing left.

[Inventory 0/100]

'Ho-Ho, scroll!' And a plethora of monster cores. "I'm sure if I convert those red-crystals into VR world currency, they'd be enough to buy a level 2 sword." Roshy laughed at herself, knowing that the time had come to claim the magical scroll.

Yumiro kneaded his chin gradually to avoid a long conversation with Uzui's party.

'Haist... What am I doing? I don't do business with them, and it has only slowed my level. But first, let's get this monster core because it might be useful in my [Devourer core] skill.' He said to himself.

He barely kneeled to the ground, carefully seizing all the items he needed to be prepared for Uzui's possible surprise attack.

Almost all of the items were in his inventory, which meant that it was the main reason Roshy was suddenly uncomfortable in her position. At the same time, she was perplexed as to why Grim had not left any small items for her participation.

"G-Grim? What happened to mine? This raid includes me as well." Roshy cheerfully stated that she was confident in receiving 50 monster cores because she provided useful information.

Yumiro knitted his brow in an attempt to annoy the blond woman. He retrieved a small red crystal measuring 3 inches in height and 2 inches in width, which appeared to have come from the fiendish monster.

"What the hell happened?! Is this all I got for assisting you?" Her true motivations were gradually revealed. She quickly covered her mouth after realizing she had raised her voice. "It's bad; if he punishes me, I have no choice but to bear the pain."

When a slave's owner decided to punish them, an electric current was created that would electrocute your body. It dealt average damage and could quickly deplete the HP of a specific slave.

Zim!

Then, all of a sudden, hundreds of monster cores began to rain down on the area, and even the scroll and some of the less valuable items fell to the ground. Yumiro had angrily thrown everything in front of Roshy.

Everyone was taken aback because, in their minds, he had gone to great lengths to steal all of their belongings, so why had he thrown them away without knowing the true value of them?

He locked his gaze on Roshy. He appears to have been late in figuring out the main plan she devised. "I forgot, I don't trust anyone." Yumiro chuckled as his left hand slapped him across the face.

"Has he gone insane?" Worishi pondered why he felt the need to act in such a manner.

Roshy believed she could calm him down if she retracted everything she had said, which was not to take all of the stolen items.

"Calm down, Grim; if you really want it, take it, but please do so calmly." Roshy said with a deliberate smile on his face.

Yumiro wiped his nose and whirled around in rage. "Tell me, where is the item you're looking for? Is it the earrings and rings? What is its location?"

She remembered the lies she told in order to continue stealing the magical scroll from the golden treasure chest.

The Uzui party exchanged glances and slowly shook their heads, perplexed by what he was saying.

She looked around at the various items on the ground, hoping to find something for the replacement in her lied words. She had failed but was still determined, so the only thing she could do was steal Worishi's earrings and ring.

Roshy gave her a friendly smile. "Could you please return my earrings and ring?" She begged Worishi without attracting Grim's attention.

"What? This is the only item I have that will allow me to restart." Worishi shielded her hand and ears if Roshy attempted to forcefully take his jewelry.

Roshy drew her sword and pointed it under Worishi's chin, intending to stab her if she didn't take what she wanted.

"You'll give it to me if you don't want to start over." Roshy threatened Worishi, showing her eyes that she would not hesitate to slash her neck.

Then, all of a sudden, orange light magic appeared in the area, and Uzui realized why Grim Draigh had engaged them. He used strong magic to make his [Baraga Fire] skill cool down.

"Go! Kill her, but I'll make sure you're there as well. What else do you want? I give you everything we get. What about the scroll? The item you attempted to steal from us?" Uzui was yelled angrily.

Roshy glared at Uzui, then turned around to face Yumiro with begged eyes. She retracted her swords and moved closer to him. "Don't listen to her, Grim; he's lying."

But it appeared that Yumiro didn't want to hear any of the words that were about to come out of her mouth. "Okay." In the meantime, he said, he'll open his function and leave the place.

Her eyes glowed as she believed Yumiro believed her. "Thank you very much, Grim."

"You decide whether to pick up all of the items or return them to them; I don't have any business with it. It's entirely your choice, but don't come near me after this, or I will not hesitate to kill you." Yumiro vanished from the VR world after spitting those words, as if he had come to the real world to rest.

"W-wait!" Roshy couldn't finish her sentence because her skin was too pale. But her eagerness overpowers her, so she grabs all the loots and exits the VR world to avoid being surrounded by Uzui members.

After 30 minutes, the members of Uzui's party were seated on the ground, their faces gloomy.

"It's time for retaliation." Uzui spoke his mind in a place where his party members could hear him.

Multiple footsteps were heard in the area, and they were surprised when they heard a horse howl because the adventurer could have it if they reached a higher level.

17 adventurers of various classes appeared in their area, and the most interesting adventurer was a blue-haired man riding his companion horse.

"Kurisei the outlaw?" Uzui mumbled that he already knew this high-level adventurer, but he wondered why adventurers like him went into low-level dungeons.

As they got closer, three journalists approached them and asked if they had seen the mysterious adventurer.

"Do you happen to see Grim Draigh?" A man in glasses said, holding a pen, that he appeared to be documenting everything that happened in this location.

Uzui nodded, a sad expression on his face, without saying anything at first.

"So, where did he go? We'd like to know."

Usui answered back with a stuttered voice acting for good reason. To claim all the attention Grim Draigh got.

"He left after stealing our items, also KS the last monsters in the hidden quest.

"Huh?!"
