22 [22] Anyone But Ais Will Do!

Not only Loki but even Finn was left speechless at the unbelievable scene.

Although Finn couldn't comprehend divine script, he could still understand the numerical values of the ability points.

The dazzling 'SSS' and '1500' at the end were simply two incredible data.

"August, tell me honestly, are you really a human?" Loki, with a shocked expression, asked slowly. Even her alcohol buzz vanished instantly.

"Of course, I'm human. I was just an ordinary person without any strength before. You personally verified it!" August couldn't forget what Loki had done to him back then.

"How can your ability values be like cheating? If it weren't for the status having no issues, I'd suspect your status is fake!"

"I have no idea about that. If I have to explain, there's only one explanation!"

"What is it?"

"Talent!"

As soon as this was said, Loki and Finn's expressions became quite peculiar.

Especially Loki, if possible, she really wanted to give August a beating right now. It was too infuriating.

This was blatant showing off, too much.

August, after receiving the imprint of Loki's falna, was also excited in his heart.

The only regret was that he hadn't accomplished a significant feat, so he couldn't level up! Otherwise, he could complete a mission and get another advanced draw.

The last advanced draw had given August the Gate of Babylon, a valuable item.

"Hurry up and get lost, or we can't resist turning you into a pig's head!"

"Well, I'll take my leave then. Goodbye, Goddess Loki, Captain!"

August quickly put on his shirt and then ran out.

After three days of intense dungeon exploration, it was time for a good rest.

After August left, Loki and Finn remained silent in the reception room for a long time.

"Finn, what do you think?"

"Unbelievable talent. This kid is a hidden gem, and he might shining very soon!"

"You're right. Including today, he's only been in Orario for six days. He got the falna just five days ago. In just five days, he has grown to this extent. Honestly, throughout the history of the lower realms, I can't find anyone comparable."

The reason why Ais, ascending from level 1 to level 2 in one year had shocked the entire Orario was that increasing ability points for adventurers was extremely difficult.

Sometimes, after several days of fighting for their lives in the dungeon, they might only increase two or three points in their ability values, or even none at all.

Almost all adventurers accumulated bit by bit to level up.

But August had broken all these rules in just five days. He shattered the rules established over a thousand years, and all his attributes reached a terrifying 1500 points.

Just a few days ago, August was an incredibly weak ordinary person! He was even physically inferior to an average person. But in just a few days, he leaped to this level, surpassing nearly half of Orario's adventurers.

Despite the vast number of adventurers, more than half were at level 1.

August's growth was too fast.

"Finn, things are getting a bit complicated!"

Loki's expression became very serious, and Finn felt the same.

"Loki, what do you mean?"

"After all, August has just joined the familia. Honestly, there aren't many bonds or even contacts between him and the familia. And, his growth is too horrifying!"

"So, we must find a way to quickly bind him completely to our familia. Otherwise..."

In Loki's mind, a figure slowly appeared.

One of two Orario's top familia, the Goddess of Beauty Freya's familia, and also the only familia with a level 7 adventurer in the whole of Orario.

For many years, countless talented children from various grandes familias had been taken away by Freya.

The goddess's divine position gave Freya a charm that even gods couldn't escape, let alone humans.

Any child chosen by Freya would easily be captivated body and soul.

It was precisely because of this that Freya fFamilia could develop to its current state and become one of top Orario's top familia, even subtly overshadowing Loki Familia.

"I heard from Riveria before that August seems to have a liking for beautiful women."

"Hmm? What do you mean?"

Loki raised an eyebrow slightly, vaguely guessing what Finn wanted to say.

"Quickly establish bonds. This is one of the few methods!"

"It's impossible. I can't lower myself to the point of letting my children do such things just to keep a genius!"

Without even thinking, Loki directly vetoed Finn's idea.

She considered all members of the familia as her children. How could she agree to such a thing?

"Loki, if we let August join Freya Familia, what will happen? You should understand, right?"

"..."

Silence.

As the saying goes, one mountain cannot accommodate two tigers.

In a city, there were two grandes familias at the top.

Although they were called Orario's two top familia, whether it was Freya familia or Loki familia, they constantly wanted to pull each other down, just like when they expelled the familia of Zeus and Hera.

Freya familia's overall strength and resources were above Loki familia. If they were to get August, the balance would be broken.

The fate of Loki familia was also self-evident. It would definitely follow in the footsteps of the familia of Zeus and Hera.

This wasn't fear-mongering but a fact.

August had such potential, not to mention now that they had witnessed his frightening growth speed, which increased August's importance even more.

"Finn, what do you want to do?"

Tightening her fist, and then slowly loosening it, Loki finally fixed her gaze on Finn.

"That kid has been getting close to Ais recently. Ais has even taken the initiative to teach him."

"What are you saying, Ais? Absolutely not!"

Ais was her beloved, her most cherished child.

She had just raised this little flower. It had only been a few days, and she was about to be taken away by someone else? Moreover, she was the one sending her away, which was absolutely impossible.

"Besides Ais, who do you think is suitable?"

Finn also sighed. There was really no other way. There were only so many female adventurers in the familia.

"Isn't there still Tiona, Tione, Lefiya, Aki? If it doesn't work, there's also Riveria!"

Wow, Finn couldn't help but marvel. To save Ais, Loki was even willing to send Riveria, which was so realistic.
