"Cassian, are you crazy? We're in the middle of a ritual. What are you doing here?"
Before George could say anything, Lily rushed in front of George and stood in front of him, shouting at the young man.
"Lily!"
"You...!"
Cassian, the Dragonborn Warrior, was stunned for a moment. Then, he took a deep breath, his eyes filled with anger as he stared fiercely at George and shouted:
"Alright, so you've been lying to Lily all along. Even now, you're still defending him?"
Cassian turned to Lily, his expression softened a little, and he spoke gently:
"Lily, I'm doing this for you. Why are you saying things against me?"
"He's a liar!"
"I've already found out. Two days ago, this guy just woke up his class. His class is the weakest in the whole school-no, the whole world-a Tier R. And it's not even a combat class. It's called... what was it again? Oh right! Keeper!"
"Why were you able to kill the 35-level Frost Dragon this time? It has nothing to do with him. It was all because of your own class!"
"This shameless guy even stole this rare Frost Mage class change card from you!"
"Do you know, Lily? This class change card is worth eight billion!"
"Eight billion! And you just gave it to this guy for free?!"
Cassian was full of anger, and the more he spoke, the more he got worked up.
By the end, his voice was much louder, echoing throughout the whole ritual hall with his angry and frustrated tone.
Lily was shocked: "Cassian? Did you really tell others about the Frost Mage class change card?!"
"Mr. George, I never said any of that."
Lily's expression was complicated. Her eyes flashed with anger as she looked at Cassian, then quickly turned to George and explained in a hurried voice.
"It's okay."
George's eyes were cold. He didn't look at Lily, but instead glanced at Cassian.
"Lily!"
Cassian took a deep breath, "Why are you still so blind?!"
"We grew up together. Why don't you believe me?"
"Do you think I would tell people about the boss rewards you got? I didn't leak any of that. There's a SR tier guild in the south. Their leader put up a reward notice."
"If someone can sell him a class change card of at least A tier in the ice magic class, the minimum price is eighty billion! The whole south is going crazy. All kinds of advanced players are trying to take the reward. And this Frost Mage class change card just happens to fit the conditions."
"Eight billion! Are you willing to let it go?"
"And besides, this thing was yours all along!"
Cassian said this with an excited expression, his voice shaking, his eyes even turning red!
At the same time, George narrowed his eyes.
"Huh? There's more to this?"
At this moment, George had basically figured things out.
The young man in front of him, Cassian, and Lily seemed to have grown up together. Their relationship was probably pretty good.
But how did Cassian find out about the Frost Mage class change card?
And even more, he had investigated George's situation.
He had investigated everything about George becoming a R tier Keeper.
This was something even Lily didn't know.
Because...
Lily was afraid of George's background and never dared to look into his situation. After all, if she made a mistake and angered this scary young big shot, she wouldn't be able to escape the consequences.
Cassian and Lily were childhood friends. Seeing Lily get so close to George,
and being greedy for the eight billion value of the class change card,
that's why Cassian had come into the ritual hall.
George rubbed his nose, then suddenly felt a bit amused.
"Am I being too low-key?"
These days, George had been busy leveling up and boosting his power in the College Entrance Exam Secret Zone, and bonding with a boss pet.
He was too busy to care about anything else.
And the teachers, classmates, Linna, Kent... even this Cassian in front of him... all thought George was just an R tier Keeper.
A soft target.
A weak class.
Someone easy to bully?
"Haha." George shook his head, a mocking smile on his lips. His eyes were cold as he quietly muttered: "Interesting."
"R tier Keeper?"
After hearing Cassian's words, Lily was shocked. She whispered to herself: "How could that be? Mr. George's boss pet is so powerful. How could he be just an R tier Keeper? Wait! Is it a dual class? No, if he unlocked Frost Mage, that would be a triple class! My God!"
Lily subconsciously thought George had already gotten two classes.
An R tier Keeper.
And another class so strong it could scare Advanced bosses and make them into pets!
If he unlocked the Frost Mage class, that would be three classes in total!
That kind of situation, Lily had never heard of before.
Unbelievably strong!
George, hearing Lily's quiet mutter, couldn't help but cough.
"Your imagination is really strong."
George thought to himself.
Besides being powerful, being the Dragonborn Priestess, Lily had an imagination that was just as amazing.
"What does it have to do with you?"
"Cassian!"
Lily took a deep breath, her expression serious as she looked at Cassian, her voice rising. She said firmly:
"I'll say this again! There's no way between us! I don't like you! Don't bother me again in the future! You and I didn't grow up together. You and I just happened to have your father working in our Eternal Guild!"
"As for Mr. George, this time, I owe him a lot! The Frost Dragon boss wasn't killed by me at all! If it weren't for Mr. George, I'd already be dead in the Dragon Clan's Sanctuary! No! To be exact, when I met that Infernal Demon boss before, I was already dead!"
"If you say one more bad word about Mr. George, I'll be your enemy!"
She paused.
Lily was clearly very angry!
She stared at Cassian, then took a deep breath again.
Meanwhile, Leo's face turned dark.
"Cassian, are you harassing my daughter?"
Cassian was stunned:
"Lily! You! Why are you so biased toward this George guy? What kind of magic potion did you drink?!"
"We...."
"Uncle Leo! I didn't! You raised me! How could I ever hurt Lily?"
Cassian's expression was complicated, his eyes trembling. He was clearly affected by what Lily had just said.
"Don't talk to me anymore!"
Lily's face was serious. "I'm telling you again – we're not that close!"
Leo waved his hand. "Get him out."
"Cassian, right? Your father, Kieran, doesn't need to work at our Eternal Guild anymore. Eric, you take care of this."
Leo's face was cold.
Then, he turned to George, his eyes filled with apology. He took a deep breath and said, "Sorry, Mr. George. I'm sorry you had to see this. I've been busy with secret zones and guild affairs lately, and I didn't notice anything. I'm truly sorry."
Cassian didn't know George's strength.
But Lily and Leo knew it all too well.
Especially after Lily told Leo what had happened.
George had a 34-level demon boss!
And it was an SR-stage one!
George's background was definitely not ordinary.
And even if that wasn't the case, George had just saved Lily's life.
"Don't worry about it," George said with a calm smile, waving his hand.
Lily looked at George, her expression full of mixed feelings, and whispered, "We don't have anything to do with each other. He's been bugging me for a long time, it's really annoying."
Leo patted Lily's head. "I've been too busy to pay attention to you. I'm sorry, Lily."
Lily smiled faintly and raised her chin. "It's fine, Dad. He didn't do anything serious – just annoying."
"Right. Kieran, today you can fire him. If this kid dares to step into our Eternal Guild again, you let me know."
Leo's expression was serious.
Eric, standing nearby, frowned. "Miss, why didn't you tell me about this before? This brat has no idea how serious this is!"
"Holy Shit! A poor man dreaming of a princess!"
Eric was a S-tier class, and in an instant, he activated his battle stance, his body glowing with power.
He stepped forward and stood at the entrance of the ritual hall.
He waved his hand, and immediately, a bunch of class changers appeared. They were all members of Eternal Guild, and their levels weren't low.
"What are you all doing? How did this brat even get here?" Eric shouted at the guild members, his face full of anger.
"Eric, we... we didn't know..."
"Yeah, Eric, he said he was Lily's boyfriend! We couldn't afford to offend him!"
"A tier class, we..."
Six or seven class changers standing at the entrance of the ritual hall, their expressions complicated, bowed their heads and spoke to Eric.
Cassian's class was indeed impressive.
An A-tier Dragonborn Warrior.
A true prodigy.
He was second only to Kent and Lily in the entire Aurion City, his talent on par with Linna.
Moreover, Cassian had grown up with Lily. Wherever Lily went, Cassian was usually there too.
That's why the guild members guarding the ritual hall had hesitated. They didn't know how to react-they let him in.
"Miss's boyfriend? A warrior of A-tier class, is that even worthy of her?"
Eric frowned. "Get him out of here. He's not welcome."
The guild members quickly nodded and bowed.
"Y-yes! Of course, Eric!"
"H-huh! We'll get rid of him right away!"
"Don't be angry! It was our fault!"
Cassian was grabbed by a few strong men and pulled upward.
But before they could take him out, he suddenly shouted:
"Don't you guys believe me? George! Are you brave enough to fight me one-on-one? Let Lily see what kind of trash you really are!"
