Alligator's Ark of Tomorrow

Could it be that Gard wants me to make clothes for him?

That's absolutely impossible!

Although she was thinking this, Gavial couldn't help but look in the direction Inam had just left.

'How about next time Inam goes to town, I ask her to bring me back some things too?'

Outside Gard's house, a group of expedition members saw Serea and Palvis come out and quickly went to greet them.

"Ms. Celia, how did it go? Did he agree?"

"They should agree, our compensation is quite high."

"But it's that kind of place after all..."

Not to mention Gard, even within the Defense Corps, the vast majority of security personnel remained skeptical about entering the Foehn Basin.

If it weren't for the fact that a Salgonian native not only entered the Foenorian Hot Land but also came out alive...

They said they would never agree to enter that forbidden area where there was no chance of survival.

The infamous reputation of the scorching, hot lands is a terrifying legend in Colombia, capable of stopping a child's nighttime crying.

"He refused."

She shook her head, feeling helpless.

If it were her, she wouldn't easily gamble with her own life.

Although she was convinced that the person in the photo walking out of the scorching hot land was Gard, since Gard had denied it, there was no point in them continuing to make trouble.

The best course of action now is to think about what to do next.

The first step of the investigation was that they couldn't even find a guide. Who would dare to enter that dead zone?

There is only a glimmer of hope if Gard is willing to enter.

Rhine Life has finally encountered a bottleneck since its founding. If it cannot find a way to break through this bottleneck, all its previous efforts will be in vain.

“Miss Inam, I hope you can help me negotiate with the people in this tribe. I hope to stay here for a while.”

Inam was startled when she suddenly heard her name called.

She advised, "Miss Serea, as far as I know, once Gard makes a decision, he won't easily change it. It won't be easy for you to persuade him."

“Of course I know about that, but I’ve heard that you, Miss Inam, seem to have the idea of ​​establishing a chamber of commerce…”

To become the founder of a highly influential company and wield significant influence within it, Serea possesses not only formidable personal strength but also a flexible and adaptable mindset.

Since we can't persuade Gard, we should gather as much information about him as possible.

Serea believed that Gard rejected them simply because they couldn't offer him a satisfactory reward.

If she could offer Gard a reward that would satisfy him, perhaps she could persuade him.

......

Chapter Seven: The King of Fighters Showdown

Serea probably never imagined that she would stay with the Wild Will tribe for a whole month.

She had thought that the offer would work on Inam, but to her surprise, Inam resolutely chose to refuse her.

"Interests are interests, and friends are friends. I will not betray my friends for the sake of interests!"

Inam's words startled Seria. While she wanted to protect Rhine's life, was she also quietly giving up some of her convictions?

Reaffirming her convictions, Seria began to inquire about Gard's character from those around her, discovering that aside from hunting when necessary, Gard would either find a place to nap or read.

The crocodile man said he wanted to be a scholar.

That sounds like it might actually be true?

After a month, Serea noticed that other voices were beginning to emerge within the expedition team, with some arguing that time should not be wasted on a Salgon native.

Even a Salgon native can freely enter and leave the Stoker Winds, so the so-called forbidden area may not be as terrible as they imagine.

The hot and humid climate of the rainforest forced Seraya to remove some of her heavy gear and travel light, tying her long, silvery-white hair into a bun.

However, after spending so much time together, although Seria still can't speak Salgon, she has finally learned how to get along with the Adaklis people in the rainforest.

Simply put, it's about the strong ruling!

Perhaps she knew it was time to persuade Gard.

"Wow, that's strong!"

With a single punch, Seria knocked an Adaklis who had challenged her to the ground, biting her cloth and tightening the handcuffs.

Facing the burning gazes of the Adaklis around him, Seraya shouted in his stern voice, "Next!"

"I'll do it!"

A figure appeared in front of Serea, and Serea recognized her.

“Gar...Vell?”

"That's right, my name is Garville. From now on, your winning streak will be ended by me!"

"You speak Colombian?"

Seria stared in surprise at the green-haired girl opposite her; she remembered that the girl was often seen with Gard.

"Of course."

Gavial clashed his fists together and grinned.

"I won't let him leave me behind!"

Knowing who Gavial was referring to as "he," Serea assumed a standard fighting stance.

"please!"

The two were less than ten meters apart, the instant Serea finished speaking.

Gavial moved.

There was nothing fancy about it; his strong, muscular calves were bent, and all his weight was on the balls of his feet.

Like the start of a 100-meter sprint, you go all out from the very beginning.

"Be careful!"

When Gavial's voice reached the ears of the surrounding tribesmen.

Gavial's figure had already collided with Serea's.

Thump—!

Fists collided, and a sound like a large drum resounded on the flat ground. In the instant the air was compressed, a wave of air burst forth from the two men's fists.

Before the Adaklis around them could react, Gavial and Serea had already clashed more than a dozen times. Serea swept a leg kick, which Gavial nimbly dodged. Gavial threw a punch from the side, which Serea blocked with his bare hands.

Serea hadn't seen an opponent who could fight her hand-to-hand in a long time. Since putting down her boxing gloves, she hadn't gone all out for a long time.

"You're good."

"You're not bad either."

On the specially cleared flat ground, Serea and Gavial separated after a brief encounter.

This was the first time Garvey had encountered such a formidable opponent, whose strength and skills were on par with hers, forcing her to resort to more ingenious methods to attack.

Compared to Seria, Gavial is smaller and more agile, but even so, she only has a slight advantage in battle.

Even without her shield and heavy protective suit, Seria remains agile.

The head of Rhine Life's defense department is not just a figurehead.

"Bring it on! I know you haven't used your full strength yet!"

When he was young, he could exchange a few blows with Gard, but as he grew older, Gavial felt that Gard's strength was unfathomable.

Aside from Gard, Gavial hadn't enjoyed a truly exhilarating battle in a long time.

He stretched and a spirited smile appeared on Gavial's face.

"Gavial! Gavial!"

"Seleya! Serea!"

On either side of the arena, the Adaklis watched the two fight, cheering them on.

Then, the group started fighting each other.

"*Tiakkau, you bastard*, whose side are you on, supporting that woman from somewhere else?"

"I think that woman named Serea is really strong. If I marry her, the kids she has will definitely be fat and strong!"

"Pah! They wouldn't even look at you! Gard would be more suitable!"

"Doesn't Gard already have Gavial?"

"We didn't say you could only marry one!"

"What?! You want to marry two more?!"

An Adaklis woman suddenly appeared, punched her crocodile man in the head, knocked him unconscious, and dragged him away by his tail.

The other crocodile man laughed loudly, but then he couldn't laugh anymore.

A voice echoed softly behind him: "Greet, didn't you just say yesterday that you were going to marry me?"

"Ah, Athena, what are you doing here!"

Meanwhile, the members of the expedition team were also watching, occasionally letting out exclamations of surprise.

"To think he could fight the director to this extent, this Adaklis guy is really strong!"

"Let me go up there. I don't think I can even take one punch from them."

“Hey, look at those Adakles over there. They look like they want to fight us.”

"Fight if you want, who's afraid of who?"

At first, Serea said that they would gain the recognition of the Wild Will tribe through combat, but a group of Rhine Life employees were very reluctant.

If they angered them, they weren't confident they could escort the experts away from thousands of Adakles.

But they had no choice but to obey Seria's orders.

It wasn't until Seria had beaten down more than a dozen Adakles that the other Adakles, instead of being angry, began to call out Seria's name.

They realized that this group of Adaklis people living in the rainforest seemed to really be all warmongers!

On the ring, Serea took a deep breath, and white particles gradually condensed on her arms.

“Gavial, although using Originium Arts makes me feel it's somewhat unfair, I can't stop here!”

Upon seeing this, Gavial blurted out, "Are you a sorcerer?"

In Tiakkau there are some Adaklis who can heal the wounded with strange and wonderful magic.

Anyway, go to them if you get injured, but never go to them if you get sick.

This is the consensus of the Tiyakau people living in the Akahura region.

Gavial had no idea that the woman in front of him, named Seraya, was also a sorcerer.

Using witchcraft to enhance one's power?

It has a very Tiakkau style!

"However, even so, I will not lose!"

The Tiacare people recognize the strong, and Gavial admits that when Seria first came to Gard, she did indeed harbor some hostility towards her.

However, this hostility vanished as Serea demonstrated her strength.

Gavial was full of fighting spirit and didn't see the Gard crocodile scratching its head in the distance.

"Trouble, after Gavial lost, he'll be coming for me next."

Upon seeing Seria use Originium Arts, Gard knew that Gavial was going to lose.

Gavial is very strong, but his vision is far inferior to that of Serea.

In a pure hand-to-hand combat, Gavial has a chance of winning.
