The Goddess Of War

Chapter 166 - A Call From the Chairman of the World Association

The clear night sky of the Fiji Islands is filled with twinkling stars, unlike in City C which is rarely seen.

A cool night breeze was felt on his skin, adding freshness to the enjoyment of a night he had not felt for a long time.

Anna enjoys the beauty of the night accompanied by a cup of warm chocolate that Gina made especially for her.

I don't know how long he hasn't been sitting around like he's been tonight since he came back to Earth.

Incidentally, the villa where team 1 is located, is located in the highest plains of Suva city, in a luxury villa complex, a, which is provided by the Fiji Islands Association as a rental Hunter facility that since a few years ago they provide for overseas Hunters who are in the period of raid contracts with the country.

So, besides being able to see the beautiful star scene, Anna could also see the impromptu carnival that was taking place in the middle of the city, from the place.

After the Fiji Islands were freed from the threat of an SS-ranked Dungeon, many of their citizens celebrated that success along the way.

Although there are still hundreds of Dungeons that have not been handled, but the community does not think too much about it as it did in previous days.

Those unhandled Dungeons were at A rank and below. If previously they were very worried because there were many A rank Dungeons popping up in their country, that worry had now disappeared.

As long as the Nine Bears guild was still in their country and under contract with the Fiji Islands, they could still feel safe.

If an SS-ranked Dungeon alone could be dealt with, let alone an A-ranked Dungeon. They did not doubt the Hunter-hunter abilities of the Nine Bears. Especially after they had already witnessed firsthand how the team from the Nine Bears conducted a raid.

Not only were the teams handling SS ranked Dungeons, the other teams were also extremely great. Unlike the previous chartered Hunters who were too proud of themselves over and overbearing, the team from the Nine Bears were not only great at pride, either, they were really great at what a Hunter should have done, exterminating monsters. Notably, none of the members of the Nine Bears were as arrogant as most Hunters in general.

Therefore also, in just 1 day, the fame of the Nine Bears guild rose even higher. Especially the fame of the 5 Hunters who had carried out the raid in the SS ranked Dungeon.

Not just in Fiji. In fact, the entire television channels around the world have also helped to add to their fame.

For 24 hours in 1 day, the faces and raid impressions they did in the Dungeon were played repeatedly until finally almost no one in the whole world who now does not know Anna, Gina, Kevin, Bimo and avatar Miyu.

Along with the sudden arrival of fame, the Nine Bears public relations team was forced to go the extra mile. Calls were coming in from many countries to schedule contracts with the Nine Bears, making administrative employees have to be willing to work long hours overtime.

Countries that initially laughed at the childish-looking vision and mission of the Nine Bears, are now starting to open their eyes and take a serious look at those visions after seeing how they conduct a raid.

In fact, the media has also raised again about what is the purpose of the guild established. There are many headlines that talk back about these visions.

"Restore world peace as it was. Closing all the Dungeon gates on Earth."

"Guild Nine Bears aren't messing around with what they want to go for."

Anna turned around as she felt that the person who had been walking towards her was already near behind her.

Anna then smiled gently at the man.

"What are you doing here?" ask Anna to Ren.

"I-i... I was walking around looking for some fresh air." Sahut Ren, with a slightly stamped voice.

Anna frowned. "You're traveling fifteen kilometers?" anna asked, feeling that reason was a little unreasonable. He knows, the location of the villa team 5 is far from the location of the villa team 1 is located.

"I am now S rank. Walking that far doesn't make me tired, if that's what you mean." Ren said again, this time without looking directly at Anna.

The answer made Anna laugh. Of course that's not what he meant.

"Looks like you really want to meet me, right? You miss me?" tease Anna, as she sees Ren looking clumsy.

"W-what? Who misses you? I'm just walking around."

Anna pointed towards the center of Suva city which was clearly visible from where they were.

"Look, there's a massive convoy. Why don't you just walk there?"

Ren gazed towards the bright light in the center of the city. Although unlike Anna who can see clearly what is going on in a location that is quite far away, but Ren knows that there is a celebration of the success of the city of Suva out of the big dungeon break ancama as happened 11 years ago in Southeast Asia.

"That's too far," Ren said.

Anna was about to laugh again, but this time she was able to endure it well.

"so... Well then, enjoy your walk..." Said Anna who then turned around again, letting Ren stare at her back in the wrong manner.

Anna then patted the empty spot next to her. The place he was sitting on was a long bench that was enough to accommodate 3 people.

"If you really want to meet me, sit down."

"Who's the..."

"Just sit down."

Ren finally sat down beside her.

Ren came to this place indeed because he was worried about Anna. After her team, team 5, returned to their villa earlier, she became restless as she recalled what Anna had announced at the dinner together.

Ren knows that Anna may be under complicated consideration about what to do. That's why he became worried.

"You're worried about me?" ask Anna, as soon as Ren has sat down.

How could they not worry about what decision a teenager who still has little experience in a professional Hunter environment would make?

Ren knew, before this, Anna had never experienced to shoulder such a huge responsibility.

Killing a demon who is posing as the head of the Southeast Asian Association is not easy.

"Are you okay?" ask Ren at last.

Anna sighed softly.

"It's nice that someone's worried about me."

"I think everyone in our guild must be worried about you."

Anna nodded. "Yes. I'm glad to be among you all."

The two teenagers ended up sitting in silence there, until a few minutes later.

"How about we go there?" Ren asked, gazing at the crowd in the city center that was actually seen only as a small twinkle in the distance.

Anna laughs.

"You're asking me out on a date?"

Ren stands. "I'll just go home then."

However, Ren felt a slender and soft hand clasping his hand all of a sudden. The slender hand then pulled him until inevitably Ren stopped his footsteps.

Ren turned to Anna, who had just held him back. While Anna who finally saw Ren's face back, laughed.

"Oh..., why is your face flushed?"

"What?! Ren felt his body temperature suddenly rise. "It's hot in here."

Anna finally stood up while still holding Ren's hand.

"Let's go there." Anna said, leading Ren to teleport, without waiting for the man's approval.

•••

The next morning, when Anna returned to the 1st team villa, she found her three comrades still in the living room. It's obvious that they don't sleep all night and are having a beer party.

Gina who first noticed Anna's presence, immediately greeted the girl.

"You're back?"

Anna nodded, watching the dozens of beer cans strewn across the table, chairs and floor, around where Gina, Kevin and Bimo were sitting.

"Where are you going?" ask Kevin, who went to the park last night to find Anna.

"Seeing the carnival."

Getting that answer, Kevin glanced at Gina and Bimo who were also glancing at each other.

"What's wrong? Why are you guys glancing at each other?" Anna asked, feeling uneasy as she guessed there was something they were hiding from her.

In fact, the three comrades were only worried about him, nothing else.

"It's okay" said Gina. "You want breakfast?"

Anna shook her head. Besides not being able to feel hungry anymore, he and Ren happen to have just had breakfast at a beachfront restaurant before they returned to their respective villas.

Compared to that, Anna was more curious about other things. She finally went to the sofa where Gina sat leaning, put away the many cans of beer next to Gina, then sat there.

"Is there any new news?" ask Anna. He had a little 'eavesdropping' on Gina and Fernando Cavalli's phone last night.

"Fernando Cavalli, chairman of the World Association, invited us to Rome."

"We're going?" ask Anna, pretending not to know.

"Yes. I've agreed to it."

"OK."

After Gina finished talking to Anna, Kevin straightened up.

"Have you decided? What are you going to do to Li Wen Xia?"

"I'll see him once our business here is done." Sahut Anna's.

"You'll see him straight away? What are you gonna do?"

Anna shook her head. "I can't decide yet. Let's see it later, after I meet him."
