Chapter 74 - Nobody Knows Everything

Two hours after the Magic Band reported the presence of the mysterious earth mage in the western forest...

In a large room, a woman was listening to her subordinate's report. She was surprised and can't help wanting to put a risky plan in action.

"Olivia... Are you sure she will lead the group herself?" The woman spoke in a tone soft and calmly, but the messenger was still very tense... He had a lot of respect for the woman, but fear was even higher.

"Yes, my Lady. She has already left town with a group of A-rank adventurers, Glen and Klaus." The messenger stared at the woman for a second before lowering his head again... He knew that the famous Red Lady had already killed men just for flirting with her, and he did not want to look enchanted by her beauty.

Red Lady smiled when she saw the messenger's reaction. She never killed anyone for flirting with her, but she liked to keep rumors like that... After all, leading a group of mercenaries was not easy, and she wanted to look "cruel."

The leader of the strongest mercenary group in Portgreen was very famous in many parts of the world. Not only was she beautiful, but also very powerful...

She is 1.72 meters tall and has nice olive skin. Her h.i.p.s are wide, but her waist was thin, making her body looks very e.r.o.t.i.c... But her most notable feature was her beautiful big red hair. Her brown-red eyes also made her Red Lady title more well justified.

Another important detail about Red Lady was the fact that she was demi-human, which was visible from her furry ears under the leather cap she always wore. She is a hybrid between a fox-woman and a werewolf.

Red Lady wore leather clothes with gauntlets, shoulder, boots, and other small parts of metal. Her saber always on her belt, regardless of her having storage treasures, making her always seem ready to fight as a mercenary leader should be.

"Isn't Ivan going with Olivia?" Red Lady feared to fight Olivia and Ivan, the second leader of the Guild, but if she was only with some A-rank and two S-rank adventurers, it wouldn't be too difficult to deal with them...

"Ivan has not yet returned from the Alliance's capital. Olivia has requested all the S-rank adventurers nearby the city, but only Glen and Klaus are with her right now." The messenger could feel that Red Lady was smiling even without looking at her... He had been her main informant for a long time and knew that the smart woman was always planning.

"Summon the squads 1, 2, and 3. We are going to hunt the earth mage along with the Guild."

As soon as Red Lady gave the order, the man left the room in surprise. Summoning the three best squads to capture a mysterious mage and an A-rank adventurer seemed absurd, but it was even worse because Olivia was already chasing them... The informant was sure that Red Lady is planning something.

After the man left the room, Red Lady began to stroke her saber's handle while thinking. 'Olivia... What are you really looking for? Anyway... It's time for Portgreen to have only one ruler again.'

The three best squads of the Red Lady Party came together quickly and led by the Red Lady herself, headed for the west gate.

"Red Lady! Glad you came so quickly." Arriving at the gate, Cornelius, who led a group of almost one hundred of the best mages of the Magic Band, greeted Red Lady respectfully. Everyone thought this was normal as the Red Lady was considered one of the three most influential people in Portgreen; the other two were Olivia and Ivan, the Guild leaders.

"Report the situation." Red Lady spoke little in a severe tone. Even though she was talking to the leader of the second most influential mercenary group in the city, she was brief and rude.

Cornelius did not care for Red Lady's manner and began to report. He was a person who only cared about magic and science... He had nothing against following Red Lady's orders as long as he could learn any secret from the mysterious earth mage.

"I sent one of my mages with Olivia's group to track the earth mage. She left the city more than an hour ago and seemed very anxious... I made it clear to my mage that he shouldn't be very quick and precise about tracking the mage... So we can reach them easily."

Red Lady heard everything and was satisfied with things like that. She wanted to follow Olivia's group quickly to find them before they reached the earth mage and the adventurer A-rank. "Are your guys ready to go?"

Cornelius had almost a hundred mages with him, and Red Lady seemed to have more than a hundred of the strongest mercenaries there... Still, Cornelius couldn't help thinking that they should need more.

"Wouldn't it be better to bring Black Hand with us too?" Black Hand was arrested, but Cornelius didn't mind "releasing" him... Olivia and Ivan were not in town, so they would not have problems...

Black Hand was judged by the city council to spend a year in prison for the chaos that happened in the city.

Olivia made it clear that he was very much to blame for chasing Lu
