Chapter 398 Stage 2

Waiting in the centre room, Shiro saw others that arrived but there were no signs of the party yet.

Furrowing her brows, she wondered if she should head out when a man suddenly approached her.

"Miss Kasumi and Miss Chizu, sorry to disturb you but I was wondering if you wanted to team up?" The man asked with a smile.

"Team up? What do you mean by that?" Shiro replied while looking at his name tag.

[Lorenzo LVL 100 Wind Strider Assassin]

"You see, as I am an assassin, getting to this area quickly is easy enough. But for the later rounds where combat might be a big part or should there be teamwork involved, it would be handy to have some talented teammates. Of course, once we reach the later rounds, this temporary team would disband and we’ll fight for the orange grade equipment. But until then, we’ll help each other and reach the last few rounds. What do you think?" Lorenzo asked with a smile.

Thinking about it for a moment, Shiro eventually shook her head.

"Thanks but no thanks. Everyone’s fighting for the same goal. I’d much rather we compete fairly." Shiro replied.

"In that case then I won’t disturb you any longer." Lorenzo smiled before reaching out his hand for a handshake.

Deeming it rude to reject, Shiro accepted the handshake.

Watching Lorenzo leave, she activated analysis and looked at her hand in case he had decided to pull something suspicious.

Immediately detecting a mark of sorts, Shiro narrowed her eyes and crushed it with the help of Celestial path.

Looking up in shock, Lorenzo felt the mark he set on Shiro disappear as he glanced back only to see Shiro glare at him with some killing intent.

’Oh sh*t, I might have misjudged this one.’ He thought to himself before quickly making his way far from her.

However, he did not realise that Shiro had done the same to him.

A nanobot was currently on his body and waiting for the moment to explode and send him out of the competition.

Seeing Shiro glare at that man, Lisandra couldn’t help but raise her eyebrows in confusion.

"Did he do anything mum?" Lisandra asked curiously.

"Somewhat. He placed a mark on me which might allow him to eliminate me hence why I got rid of it. Though he doesn’t realise I’ve done the same so you bet I’ll be kicking his ass out of this event when the opportunity arrives." Shiro replied quietly while keeping her eyes on the entrance to the centre room.

Thankfully, the party had arrived around the 60 people mark, causing Shiro to sigh in relief.

"Man, that labyrinth was annoying. We ran into so many assassins it’s not even funny." Madison sighed while massaging her arm.

"Yeah, if not for your taunt skill, there would have been more people arriving here and we might not even get a chance to pass." Silvia nodded.

"Well at least we’ve passed now. Let’s take this chance to recuperate since we don’t know what the next round is." Lyrica smiled as the party sat down next to the walls.

Looking at the party, Shiro couldn’t help but pause in shock since she just saw Yin give everyone some food from her own reserves.

’Hold up, what the hell happened to Yin? If she’s the glutton I know, she would never give away her own food!?’ Shiro thought to herself.

Lisandra was also shocked at Yin’s change in character and couldn’t help but wonder if her big sister had been brainwashed in these two months or not.

Sending a small nanobot to check out what had happened, Shiro listened in on their conversation.

"Remember, you have to pay me back triple for the food I give you ok?" Yin said seriously as the party nodded.

"Yeah we get it, you don’t have to say it all the time you know Yin." Madison laughed.

"Food is my way of living so if you don’t give back my food, I’ll be annoyed you know." Yin pouted.

"Yes, but are you really going to go through your storage ring of food? It’s something we got from the dungeons but the space in the ring is still quite big you know." Madison replied while pointing at her ring.

"Is that a challenge? I’ll show you the act of me emptying out my ring right here and now." Yin replied in annoyance. To think they would look down upon her might of eating, how naïve.

Immediately retracting her nanobot, Shiro couldn’t help but sigh.

"The stupid daughter of mine is still the same. But this time she’s only giving away her food because the party said they’ll pay her back triple." Shiro shook her head.

Hearing what Shiro had just said, Lisandra couldn’t help but smile awkwardly.

"Well I guess it’s good that big sis is the same as usual."

"In a way I suppose." Shiro shrugged.

While they were chatting, Lyrica had been scanning the room for anyone that could possibly be Shiro. With her capabilities, there was a good chance for her to arrive much earlier than them.

Looking at all the female adventurers around, she marked down those that reminded her most of Shiro.

The highest one on her list was a girl called Kasumi with the class Grand Archer Sage. While the look, temperament and class were completely different, there were still habits that Shiro couldn’t completely mask.

However, she wasn’t completely certain and it was just speculation for now.

{I trust in your ’Shiro Radar’ so that woman has a good chance of being Shiro.} Yuan Tian chuckled.

’Oh please, what the hell do you mean by Shiro radar.’ Lyrica rolled her eyes.
