After leaving the team, the adventurer ladies regretted it deeply

Chapter 29: 29. Want to leave? As you please!

Lia saw Kafni's bold move and was utterly stunned.

"What are you doing in someone else's home!"

"So indecent, vulgar, disgraceful!"

Sourness swelled in Lia's heart, and she felt like vomiting up the strawberry cake she had just eaten.

Unable to suppress her anger, she slammed her hand on the table and shouted, "Lin Da, have you gone mad? Make her leave right now!"

Lin Da was also surprised; he hadn't expected Kafni to cling to his arm.

But he didn't deny, calmly stating, "It is quite normal among friends."

Friends?

Normal...?

Lia's expression turned exceedingly bleak.

Normal friends don't hug and cling to each other!

Only the filthy women in the taverns who would attach themselves to anyone for a gold coin would behave like that.

To bring a woman he met barely two days back to the Snow Goose Adventure Team.

And what, make indecent noises upstairs next?

Complete disregard for her as the team leader!

Lia's face was somber, her finger pointed rigidly towards the door, she said coldly, "You're off the team already. What are you doing here? You're not welcome, get out."

Actually, Lia wanted to ask Lin Da what he was doing here and why he brought back some tall woman when he was supposed to rejoin the team.

But as soon as she opened her mouth, it turned into an expulsion order.

She didn't feel much regret about it in her heart.

If Lin Da couldn't withstand even this slight reproach, he couldn't be the healer of the Snow Goose Adventure Team.

"I am sorry to be unwelcome, but I won't leave until my business here is finished," Lin Da spoke slowly but his tone was decidedly firm.

"Moreover, I am entitled to a part of this villa. I am just returning to my place, I don't need your permission."

Lia was speechless, feeling only an increasing irritation.

She stamped her foot and said, "Then what is the business you came for? Just hurry it up!"

It should have been about rejoining the team.

At a time like this, why was Aiko not here?

Lia's mind was a mess, somewhat unsure of how to handle the situation.

Although she had the slightest desire to have Lin Da return, it was only because of his skill as a cook, not because the team couldn't do without him. Seeing Lin Da's arrogant demeanor with no hint of apology, as the leader, she couldn't tolerate such a team member coming and going freely.

"First, you need to give me a proper apology!"

Lia said angrily.

Apology?

Why should he apologize?

Lin Da was confused.

He explained reluctantly to the young woman, "Lia, you misunderstood."

"I'm just here to pick up some things."

"And this document, please sign it, it shouldn't take too long."

Lin Da took out the resignation document from his chest and handed over a prepared quill pen to Lia.

"What document?"

Lia instinctively reached out to take it.

She glanced at Lin Da, then lowered her head to look at the so-called 'document'.

The air in the living room seemed to freeze for a few seconds.

Lia's eyes gradually widened, and her breathing became rapid.

Finally, there was a snapping sound.

Her fingers, squeezing too hard, tore through the fragile paper,

creating a hole in it.

Lia had thought this document was Lin Da's letter of apology.

But upon closer inspection, she saw the four large, bold characters: Resignation Document!

This was absolutely not the 'answer' she wanted to hear!

Lia's chest heaved violently, battle Qi surged within her, and her fiery red hair glowed with a bright red light.

Seeing Lin Da's unwavering appearance, her blood whooshed to her head.

This guy, he still dares to mess with her!

Even though the resignation document was right in front of her, Lia still believed that Lin Da could not possibly leave the team. They had been teammates for three years and had not yet achieved their goal of reaching the summit of the World Tree, a dream they had often discussed together.

Lia could feel that among the team, the ones who most wanted to reach the summit were her and Lin Da. Lin Xi, Aiko, and Klrona did not share the same intense desire to reach the top of the World Tree.

Only she and Lin Da were true adventurers.

The Snow Goose Adventure Team had now passed the ninth level and officially become a rock level adventure team. In White Dove City, and indeed the entire province, there was no other team at the same level that would take in an ordinary Healer like Lin Da.

So, how could Lin Da, who hoped to reach the summit of the World Tree, possibly quit the team?

Lia took a deep breath, a cold smile appearing on her lips.

Reading too many comic books, using this resignation as a 'Coquettish Stratagem', huh?

Even if he signed it, without going to the Adventurer's Guild to formally cancel the contract, the resignation paper was just a piece of waste.

Lia grabbed the quill and hastily signed her name on it.

Then, with one hand on her hip and harboring a proud attitude, she held the resignation with two fingers and handed it to Lin Da, waiting to see his frustrated and regretful face after his failed attempt.

"Thanks."

However, things didn't go quite as Lia had expected.

Lin Da nodded lightly, a smile appearing on his face.

"You've matured as well. It's good to keep things civil, I'm relieved as a former teammate."

Lia scratched her head, looking very confused.

Why is he praising her maturity?

Is he trying to disgust her?

Seeing Lin Da's deliberate, nonchalant smile, Lia could not help but become furious.

"What are you even talking about?"

Lia aimed a kick at Lin Da's shin.

As a Swordsman, her strength was not small, and the pain made Lin Da frown.

But Lin Da did not retaliate.

In the villa's second-floor bedroom, there were still many of his personal belongings.

It wouldn't be good if Lia kicked him out rashly.

After taking the resignation document and confirming that the signature was correct, Lin Da felt a sense of relief in his heart.

The purpose of his visit had been half achieved.

He walked past Lia and headed upstairs.

"What are you doing?"

"Getting my clothes. And my Healer gear too, they're all in the room, right?"

Halfway up, Lin Da suddenly realized why Lia was staring intensely at him from behind:

"Worried I'll steal something from the Snow Goose Adventure Team? No need, if you really don't trust me, just come with me."

"Ha, no need! I doubt you'd dare take anything from 'our' Snow Goose Adventure Team!"

Lia gritted her teeth.

This was a psychological battle.

She thought, Lin Da was still using his not-so-clever 'Coquettish Stratagem'!

Before Lin Da stepped out of the villa's threshold, this competition was not over.

Lia, being very 'smart', had seen through this, and showing any weakness now would let Lin Da succeed.

As the team leader, Lia would never allow insubordination.

This was the bottom line.

After a while, Lin Da came down from the second floor.

He was dragging a black suitcase, frowning at Lia, "Where did my gear go?"

"Oh, that level 15 junk of yours?"

Lia sat on the sofa sipping orange juice and pretending to read a book, not even looking up as she spoke:

"According to the team contract, members who leave the team prematurely have to pay a huge penalty. The share you put in for the house and those gears combined aren't enough."

"But since you haven't done any meritorious deeds, and only had hard labor, I'll let the rest slide. If you want to go, just go."

Lia turned to the next page of her book, her face indifferent.
