Looking at Isaac with mixed emotions, the current raid party couldnāt believe that such a refined gentleman they knew suddenly became... this.
"Ah Miss Nytri, donāt reject so fast! I can do whatever you want me too!" He said while his face was completely flushed.
Flinching back in disgust, Shiro didnāt know how to respond. While she did indeed enjoy being a sadist from time to time, she was slightly uncomfortable with masochists.
"Stay away from me!" Shiro said, backing up as quick as she could.
However, Isaac wasnāt offended at all. Instead, it urged him on more.
"Thatās it, please glare at me like that. It would be better if you want to kill me!" He cried out.
"Urg!"
This was one of the main reasons as to why Shiro dislikes masochists. Even if she tortured them or killed them, it would only give them great joy. This wasnāt the kind of reaction she liked.
"Oi! One of you knock out this pervert already!" Shiro turned towards the raid party.
They all raised their hands up, signalling their intent to stay away from Isaac.
Twisting her body, Shiro attempted to roundhouse kick him behind the head to knock him out.
However, before the kick could connect, Isaac turned his body and faced the kick head on.
Seeing his face filled with ecstasy, Shiro suppressed her urge to throw up and retracted her kick. She wasnāt about to give this pervert more pleasure.
"*Cough* Mr Isaac, this is hardly the time for you to be acting like this. We still have a raid to discuss." Kier coughed. Confusion and disbelief was written all over his face as he couldnāt believe that the first person to have unlocked any kind of domain was in fact a giant pervert.
In just one match, his mental image of Isaac had completely shattered. From graceful genius to hardcore masochist. Despite his mental fortitude, he needed a few moments to recover from this shock.
"Iām sure the raid will be fine, Iām more concerned about Miss Nytri." Isaac replied without looking back.
"Tch, Inya! Lisa! Help me out here!" Shiro called out. But when she didnāt get a response, she turned around and saw both of them looking away as if they didnāt hear her.
āUnfilial daughters!!! Watch me take care of you later!ā She cried out in her mind.
Jumping into the rift, Shiro stayed there and didnāt come out.
"Ah Miss Nytri, donāt leave!" Isaac pulled a face of pain after seeing her disappear.
But soon, he realised that there were two others he could count on.
Turning his head towards both Yin and Lisandra, he wanted to talk to them so that he could know Shiro better.
When the duo felt his gaze lock onto them, they both paled instantly.
"Oh sh*t!" Yin cried out and opened the rift before jumping in.
"Wait! Donāt leave me!" Lisa widened her eyes when she saw that Yin left her behind.
"Sorry sis!" Yin apologised as the rift closed up, stopping Lisandra from leaving the place.
āĀ£^%"$^!!!ā Cursing Yin in her mind, Lisandra took a deep breath and prepared to deal with Isaac. Since both her mum and sister couldnāt deal with this pervert, it was down to her to finish the job.
Mustering up some courage, she turned towards Isaac. But when she saw his perverted face intensify after feeling her intent to harm him, all of her courage faded like smoke.
"F*ck this Iām not strong enough."
Dashing towards the raid party, she was going to use them as meat shields.
"Holy sh*t! Donāt come over here! Heās your problem!" One of the guys shouted out in a panic.
"What do you mean MY problem! Heās OUR problem now motherf*cker!" Lisandra shouted back.
Meanwhile, in the rift...
*sigh...
Sighing out in relief, Yin could only pray for Lisandraās safety.
"!!!"
Suddenly, she felt a hand grab her shoulder as she turned around slowly only to see Shiroās annoyed face.
"Oi, unfilial daughter, you seemed to have fun leaving me on my own just now." Shiro interrogated while glaring at Yin.
*gulp
"Donāt hurt me too much. This baby can only take so much parental love." Yin pleaded.
"Oh, Iāll show you parental love." Shiro chuckled darkly as mana surged around her hand.
"GYAH!!!!!"
A mournful scream soon filled the rift as Shiro used the traditional method of parenting.
Spanking the hell out of them.
###
After calming down Isaac, everyone sat around a table in the conference room. Yin decided to stand since she couldnāt sit down properly. Tears streamed down her face but no one could see it due to her mask.
As for Lisandra, she only scoffed in annoyance as she felt no pity for Yin.
āHmph, karma.ā She thought in her mind.
As for Shiro, she kept getting goosebumps from the way that Isaac was staring at her.
"Anyways, so from what all of you have seen, Miss Nytri and her two friends are clearly qualified for this raid despite their levels being low." Kier said as he started the conference.
"Therefore, to combat the fact that theyāre lower level, weāll be making sure that most of the dungeon kills go to them during our scouting sessions so that we can raise the average level of the party. Plus, when theyāre higher level, Iām sure theyāll be able to help out more during the boss fights. Anyone disagree with this?"
"Hmm... while I donāt disagree with this, donāt we want to increase the levels of the highest levels among us to 60? That way we can be as strong as weāre allowed inside the dungeon." One of the members suggested.
"A good idea but we can do that during our final run of the raid. Thatās because the door only restricts those who are above level 60 BEFORE they enter the raid. Once you get into the raid and raise your level then, youāll only have that one chance to clear it otherwise weāll not be able to enter the raid again. Thatās why I want to let Miss Nytri get most of the kills because donāt forget, weāll also get a share of the EXP when we fight the bosses. We donāt want to over level before the proper attempt." Kier replied.
"If thatās the case, what about you? Arenāt you level 60?"
"Indeed. Hence why Iāll be watching the first attempt. Depending on how well it goes, I might participate in the second run to give extra support. You can think of me as the side act rather than the main act." Kier smiled.
"If thatās the case then arenāt the Ospar family the only one that wouldnāt be participating until we scouted out the dangers?" One of the members narrowed his eyes in suspicion.
"I understand your concerns hence why weāll be providing you with some of our best equipment to reduce the amount of risks to you. On top of this, youāll also have the return stone so you wouldnāt need to worry about your safety." Kier replied calmly.
"Mn."
"Any other concerns?" Kier asked.
"Just one. What about the party size? If the three of them join, weāll have to take a few people out. Excluding the young masters and mistresses of each family, we each have servants just in case our safety is compromised even with the items. While the first raid will be fine as you wonāt be partaking in it, what about the second or the third raid?"
"Hmm... Donāt worry. Since I entered the raid with four bodyguards, Iāll take three out so that we can accommodate Miss Nytri and her friends." Kier smiled. He knew that they were stronger than his guards so it didnāt matter if he took them out of the raid.
"Anything else?" He asked just in case any problems arise in the raid.
Peeking over at Lox, he knew that this man had a grudge against Alura and Yin.
āIt seems like he hates Miss Nytriās follower quite a bit after the spar. Heās not even paying attention to Alura.ā Kier thought to himself. He had seen Alura gloat at Lox quite a bit but he had actually endured it and focused his mind on Yin.
Normally, a person like him would be quite detrimental to the party. But in order to make sure the balance and satisfaction of each family was in place, he had to be in the party or else the other families would pull out of the raid.
Once that happens, the chances of success would be lower despite the fact that a malignant tumour like Lox had left the party. Sometimes, sacrifices were needed to secure a better outcome. He didnāt mind lowering the party friendliness a little by having Lox in the party if that meant more help from the other families.
"Since there are no more objections, weāll talk about the details regarding the raid and the information weāve gathered so far."
