Chapter 97 - A Firm Heart

Hera sneered. “From the beginning, Kaki didn’t come for us. She came for Kate, right?”

Kate sighed and solemnly bowed to Audrey to express his apology. “Audrey, I’m sorry. I really didn’t expect Kaki to...”

“Alright, the important thing now isn’t Kaki. What should our dragon slaying squad do?”

This was Audrey’s most sorrowful question.

The Mercenary Association had a clear rule that five people were needed to form a mercenary group.

Even if Kaki still wanted to join the dragon slaying squad, Kate would disagree.

Where could they find the remaining person?

Hera did not mind. “No matter what, our mercenary group will have to register for at least a month before we can take action. It’s better to take advantage of the lack of manpower to make preparations now.”

Jill immediately nodded in agreement. “That’s right. Our actions are too rushed. Whether it’s the frequent mercenary activities in the next month or the fact that we’re going to the Frigid Lands, materials are a necessity.”

“Even Audrey joined us only yesterday. So no matter how well you prepare, Audrey definitely doesn’t have any equipment.”

Only then did Kate realized that he had made a mistake again.

“But Audrey, haven’t you always wanted to go to the Frigid Lands?”

Audrey sighed. “I wanted to go to the Frigid Lands because I sensed my mother’s aura. But I can’t just think for myself. Kate is right. We’re a team.”

“Audrey has helped me so much. I will definitely help you find information about your mother.” Kate had stayed by Audrey’s side for so many years, so he had more or less understood the situation in Audrey’s family.

However, he did not expect that after Audrey’s mother had disappeared for so many years, there would suddenly be information coming from the Frigid Lands.

“Yes, yes, Audrey. Don’t be anxious. You have to be prepared.”

“With our combined strength, we’ll definitely be able to escape death from the mouth of the evil dragon...”

Other than Kate, this was the first time everyone present had seen Audrey smile so beautifully.

Hera was about to be struck by Audrey’s beauty. Instead, she waved her hand and said, “Don’t worry, Audrey. Even if I have to go up a mountain of knives or into a sea of fire, I will find your mother for you!”

Audrey laughed out loud. This was the first time she had felt a sense of belonging in the Jones Empire.

In her previous life, no one would have said such warm words to her.

Audrey had been tested for her excellent talent in magic when she was born. Her family had crazily trained Audrey, forcing her to break through from a desperate situation time and time again.

They all saw Audrey as a high and mighty God on the throne. They prayed that Audrey would guide them in their practice to take their magic to the next level.

Audrey sat alone in her seat.

No one was willing to tell Audrey what was on their minds, and no one was willing to listen to Audrey’s heart.

She had originally thought that having the companionship of magic meant that she was not alone until the moment when she failed to level up.

What she felt was not an unwillingness to fail but a sense of relief that had finally ended.

When she opened her eyes again, although she was determined, she was also baffled.

She was like a walking corpse wandering around Spark City. Even if Calder really treated her as his own daughter, Audrey still felt nothing.

This was the first time.

Perhaps it was Kate’s repentance that had finally awoken her spirit.

Perhaps it was Hera’s passionate trust.

Maybe it was Jill’s timid but determined eyes.

That fiery, beating, wonderful feeling had been slowly spreading in Audrey’s chest, her heart beating bit by bit rhythmically.

Audrey suddenly understood the meaning of her coming to this world.

Maybe the heavens could not bear it anymore, so they let Audrey come to this world to feel the warmth of her companions.

She looked at the three of them, seriously discussing how to bring Audrey’s mother back, and revealed the most beautiful smile.

The other three did not know what kind of celestial battle Audrey had accepted. They thought that Audrey was anxiously waiting for her mother’s message.

After the four of them discussed it, they decided to meet in the restaurant a week later.

Regardless of whether new teammates were joining them or not, they would think of a way to probe the Mercenary Association.

Kate clenched his fists solemnly.

He did not help Audrey during the competition between the five families.

However, in the mercenary group that followed, Kate promised to protect Audrey with his life.

This was his increasingly determined passion.

A week passed very quickly. During this period of time, Audrey produced the level 20 potion Hera needed. At the same time, she also refined a large number of other functional potions.

These potions could greatly alleviate the discomfort caused by the environment in the Frigid Lands while slaying the dragon. The red ones were potions that temporarily increased explosive power, and the blue ones were potions that alleviated the body’s cold. The purple ones were potions that could cure sexual functions.

Looking at the already bare herb garden, Calder felt both proud and a little sad.
