This is a bit too quick a slap in the face.

...

Although Hephaestus really wanted to curse Chun for being a jinx, he also understood that he couldn't blame her for this.

With a somewhat helpless sigh, Hephaestus led Tsubaki directly to the entrance of the main camp.

"You must be Lin Que."

After taking a good look at this completely unfamiliar man, whom he had never seen in the Celestial Realm, Hephaestus asked a question.

"You brought people to our clan's gate so early in the morning, are you looking to commission us to customize some weapons?"

There's no need to play dumb.

Lin Que revealed a mocking expression: "You should know very well why I'm here at this time."

"...Do you want to start a war?"

"It's not accurate to say that war has broken out."

Lin Que smiled and corrected him, "Your chances of winning are zero, that's beyond doubt."

"You now have two options in front of you."

“Send men to fight Alphia, and then they are defeated and surrender.”

"Surrender immediately and join my ranks to work for me."

"You have one minute to think it over and then tell me your choice."

"...It seems there's no way to resolve this amicably..."

Hephaestus began to have a headache.

Unlike the indiscriminate attacks by the secret faction, Lin Que launched this attack through a legitimate state-owned clan.

With so much time, even if someone notices something is wrong, it's unlikely anyone will come to help anytime soon.

"Those guys in the guild have really given me a huge headache."

After resonating with Apollo from the previous night, Hephaestus turned to look at his commander beside him.

"Chun, what do you mean?"

"It's not that there's no way to deal with it."

Chun replied, "We have a reserve of magic swords in our warehouse. Shall we take them out and use them?"

Hephaestus shook his head: "No."

"We are in the city. If we use the magic sword on a large scale, it could easily affect other people."

More importantly, the magic sword may not necessarily work.

Lin Que is no fool for causing so much trouble, and he certainly wouldn't gamble that they wouldn't dare use the Demon Sword.

They swaggered over with Alphia, clearly having made thorough preparations.

"I think you're trying to make things difficult for me."

Hearing Hephaestus's refusal, Chun couldn't help but sigh.

"We can't use the Demon Sword, and the gap in raw strength is huge."

"How about we just vote it out, like I just said?"

"let me see."

Hephaestus turned his head and looked at the members of his kinship group around him.

As a forging-type Familia, the Hephaestus Familia does not have a strict requirement for a strength of 1.7.

Aside from Tsubaki, a relatively talented leader, even LV.4 members are extremely rare.

Most people's strength is still hovering around LV.2 and LV.3.

Facing Alphia with this lineup would be like feeding them a kill; it's pointless.

"Hmm... there really isn't a good way."

Having made his decision, Hephaestus looked at Lin Que again.

"Let's stop playing, let's surrender..."

"Hephaestus! Please wait!"

Just as Hephaestus was about to surrender, a fat figure came running from not far away, panting heavily.

"Please stop for a moment, both of you! I have something to say!"

......

ECHO is off.

Chapter 277 If you don't want me to have fun, then I'll just flip the chessboard over.

Lloyd?

Looking at the overweight elf beside him, panting heavily, looking like he hadn't rested all night and was about to die from high-intensity overtime work.

Hephaestus paused his declaration of surrender, a thoughtful look flashing in his eyes.

Is this the guild's pig finally realizing what a stupid thing he did and trying to make amends?

“Loyman, the timing of your arrival is quite interesting.”

What Hephaestus could think of, Lin Que could naturally think of as well.

He shifted his gaze from Hephaestus, a playful smile appearing on his face.

"Let me guess, you're here to stop me?"

"Lin Queshen, I have my reasons for doing this."

Wiping the cold sweat from his forehead, Loiman, who had rushed over immediately after receiving the news, spoke.

"Both the Soma Familia and the Apollo Familia are adventure-type Familias, so you can fight them if you want."

"But a large commercial clan like Hephaestus is really not something we can fight."

"Once it is captured, it will affect the entire economic operation of Orario."

Are you underestimating me?

Lin Que raised an eyebrow: "The Hephaestus Familia can do 19, do you think I can't?"

"But......"

“Loyman, I advise you to be careful what you say.”

Lin Que interrupted him directly, saying, "You shouldn't have forgotten what we talked about yesterday, right?"

“I told you back then that once a contract is made, it cannot be taken back.”

"If you send someone afterward to persuade me to go easy on him, it will only make me angry."

"I'm sorry, Lin Queshen, this was indeed my fault."

Lloyd admitted it outright: "But I still hope you can listen to me for a moment, please!"

"I can give you a chance, but..."

Seeing the sudden joy on Loiman's face, Lin Que abruptly changed the subject: "Before I give you a chance, you have to answer one question for me first."

A sense of foreboding rose in Leuman's heart: "...What's the problem?"

"Don't worry, it's not a difficult problem."

Lin Que smiled and said, "You just need to tell me whether you're here to stop me from subduing the Hephaestus Familia."

"If your answer satisfies me, I will give you this opportunity."

"If not... then I'm sorry, please go back to where you came from."

Lloydman: "..."

Faced with Lin Que's merciless reply, Loiman fell into a helpless silence.

Loemann wasn't stupid; he naturally knew what kind of answer would satisfy Lin Que.

However, his purpose in coming here was to save the Hephaestus Familia and prevent the Lin Que Familia from annexing them and taking off completely.

If we choose to back down here, that would be a real problem.

"Speaking of which, you should have gone to the Loki Familia by now."

Just as Loiman was caught in a dilemma, unsure of how to respond, Lin Que's voice rang out again.

"Did Loki say anything to you? For example, about the bet?"

"Bet?"

"Looks like I didn't tell you."

"Yes, Loki didn't say a word."
