The Goddess Of War

Chapter 168 - Li Wen Xia's Trap

All members from team 1 to team 4 eventually returned to Southeast Asia. Meanwhile, the chairman of each team went directly to the Italian capital, Rome, to meet the chairman of the World Association, Fernando Cavalli.

Fernando Cavalli welcomed the presence of the higher-ups of the Nine Bears guild with great pleasure. Although the person he really wanted to meet, Anna and Miyuki, the avatar pilot, were not among them, he remains happy to meet other heroes who have saved the Fiji Islands from a dungeon break that could have destroyed the country.

Meanwhile, Anna herself went straight back to Southeast Asia and stopped by City A to meet in person with the chairman of the Association, Li Wen Xia.

Anna, who initially thought her request to meet would be rejected, was quite surprised when Li Wen Xia welcomed her request so well. In fact, Li Wen Xia sent the Association secretary directly to pick up and welcome Anna's arrival at City A's international airport.

Another surprise encountered Anna a bit when she finally arrived at the Association office. Unexpectedly, his arrival was also welcomed by the crowd from the media crew, who seemed to have known about his presence at the Association's headquarters.

In fact, when the door of the car Anna was riding just opened, the media crew immediately welcomed her to conduct an interview.

Anna, who had never faced such a situation, was of course confused and felt awkward as dozens of cameras pointed straight at her. Especially when the reporters immediately showered him with many questions.

Just as the girl was in confusion, Li Wen Xia came and saved her from the crowd of media crews.

"Please give Miss Anna a walk." Said Li Wen Xia from the top of the stairs, near the main door of the Association office building.

The Hunter-hunter Association instantly split the crowd to pick up the flustered Anna within the reporters' siege.

After successfully carrying Anna and delivering her to where Li Wen Xia was, the Association Hunters instantly made a human fence, blocking the reporters who were about to climb up the stairs.

Li Wen Xia smiled softly at the media crew.

"We've kept Miss Anna's visit a secret. But you all turned out to have sharp ears to know this meeting" Li Wen Xia said.

"Miss Li, can we have Miss Anna's time for a moment? We just have a few questions." Pinta is a journalist.

"Some questions that will develop into dozens?" Said Li Wen Xia, who then laughed.

However, Li Wen Xia, surprisingly made another offer to them.

"But, since you've all taken the trouble to come here, I'll give some people a chance, to cover our conversation. On condition, no one is allowed to ask any questions unless one of us gives permission." Li Wen Xia's.

Hearing that, the faces of the reporters who had previously appeared to be translucent, turned bright. Now, they were only hoping for luck when Li Wen Xia appointed one of their representatives.

Different from journalists. Anna, who did not expect her meeting to be attended by the media, was not happy with the unilateral decision. This was completely unexpected, as he actually wanted to speak 4 eyes only with Li Wen Xia, according to the schedule set by the Nine Bears and Li Wen Xia's personal assistant.

"Miss Li, aren't we just going to speak with four eyes?" anna asked in a half-whispering voice.

Li Wen Xia turned to look at Anna who was standing next to him. He then threw his smile at Anna, before turning his head back to the reporters as he spoke, "But, they seem to have been eager to meet you, Miss Anna. Look at their enthusiastic gaze on you. You're the hero of their country, right?"

Anna finally turned to the reporters again and smiled awkwardly. On that occasion, some of the media crew immediately took photos of his face.

"Y-yes... All right..," said Anna who was forced to agree to it.

With half a dozen senior reporters, Li Wen Xia and Anna finally went to a room that was usually reserved for an exclusive interview.

Anna is even more surprised when in the room it turns out that there are already many cameras and crews that will broadcast a live meeting between the chairman of the Association and one of the Southeast Asian heroes who just returned from the battlefield.

"Miss Li, shouldn't we just have a private meeting?" asked Anna with an unhappy face.

Li Wen Xia smiled gently at the girl, "Do you not know? I usually document every conversation I have with an important Southeast Asian Hunter. You are now one of them, Miss Anna."

While trying to contain her anger, Anna forced a smile on the woman.

"Sorry, but we have to keep doing this documentation, Miss Anna." Li Wen Xia insisted. However, his friendly smile still held on very well. In fact, his smile seemed to be growing more and more natural.

With an exasperating feeling, Anna lowered her face for a while only to hide the anger that she felt would be seen so clearly on her face.

In addition, he also saw the reporters who had sat across from their table, seemed confused by his attitude that seemed to refuse to be interviewed. In fact, it was very natural to do when a Hunter had just obtained a very extraordinary achievement as he and his colleagues had just done.

"Can we start now, Miss Anna?" li Wen Xia asked as he saw Anna looking uninspired to talk to him.

Anna finally raised her head again by forcing her smile. "All right."

Li Wen Xia then signaled to the Association crew to start their live broadcast.

As the live broadcast had already begun, Li Wen Xia asked Anna a few light questions.

The chatter that followed was not much different from the talk that was usually done between the Association chairman and a Hunter who had just chanted the success of a battle in the Dungeon.

Only, Hunter who was interviewed this time seemed not too excited when the Association chairman asked him.

Anna was barely even focused on listening to the questions Li Wen Xia asked.

"He set me up. I didn't expect our meeting to be an interview like this. He did it on purpose so that I couldn't attack him directly, right?" Thought Anna, with a heart puffed up.

Of course what Anna guessed was entirely accurate. Li Wen Xia had indeed deliberately broadcast their meeting live on the official website of the Southeast Asian Association, in order for the girl to not discuss anything regarding who she was and maybe even attack her. In fact, Li Wen Xia had also leaked Anna's arrival secretly to the media.

Anna could indeed have attacked him if he had not been on a live broadcast like this, given Anna's angry gaze while they were still in the Dungeon, instead, as soon as Anna realized that Li Wen Xia had ordered her errand boy to hypnotize the girl.

The reporters who were in the interview room would also be a guarantee for her to be careful and not use her powers carelessly.

Using force indiscriminately among civilians, it would be punishable by a very heavy penalty

°°°

After the boring talk lasted about half an hour, Li Wen Xia finally gave the media crew representatives a chance to ask questions. He did so so that the meeting quickly ended and could allow Anna to leave the Association building immediately.

Once given the opportunity to ask, a senior journalist immediately raised his hand.

"I want to ask Miss Anna" the reporter said, asking for permission.

Anna forced a smile on him then nodded slowly.

"Please, sir."

"Miss Anna. Are you really sure that it is an SS-ranked Dungeon?" ask the reporter with a serious look. He was not questioning what the World Association had reported, but just wanted to confirm it again from the Hunter who had been directly in the Dungeon.

"Yes. My colleague, Kevin Jung, says it like that."

"What do you think of the power of the monsters there?"

Anna now smiled with a happy heart, when she got the question.

'This is my chance.'
