"Alright, this mission is entrusted to your Star Flower Travel Corps, but before the mission is completed, your identities are gray, and you must avoid investigators."

Lisya said, "Just go ahead and do it. I and Aira will go above to get our chief's signature for the formal documents."

"I hope things don't go wrong afterwards and we end up turning against each other."

"How could that be?"

...

Li Ang walked out of the Order Air Cavalry Corps Headquarters alone.

The deputy leader of the investigation group and the leader of the Flame Corps were off to find Sisyphus, while he needed to return and gather the members for the mission.

Just days ago, he was strategizing in the desert, only for everything to be disrupted when confronted with demons.

He had been looking forward to camping and cooling off by the lake in Mengze Island.

Thinking of resolving this matter quickly, he used Tornado Wings to propel himself in swift flight.

But when channeling magic power, his left arm felt noticeably strange.

Is it starting? Transformation?

Previously, Li Ang had luckily thought that the spikes on his arm were merely influenced by Demon Spirit from the Saint's Tomb, and the subsequent transformation shouldn't happen so soon.

He hurried to the young girls' residence, knocking on four doors in one breath.

They opened their doors almost simultaneously, but the situation surprised Li Ang a little.

Each of them exhibited a look of cultivation; sweat glistened on Zoe and Andasu, their hair clinging slightly to their faces.

And ALulu, even more so, looked like she had just exited a sauna.

The most pristine, Dorothy, had magic power fluctuations around her body, indicating she had been practicing casting.

The four of them exchanged glances, unexpectedly realizing they had all chosen to cultivate.

Li Ang smiled at them, "I was worried you'd be out shopping, and I wouldn't find you. How come you all suddenly got so hardworking?"

When he asked this, his gaze primarily fell on Dorothy.

The half-elf pursed her lips and replied, "Because it's frustrating."

"What's bothering you?"

"It's everywhere."

Yamei, the lady, pointed in the direction of the Council Tower, "The people here are the big shots among big shots. Whether in terms of actual power or strength, I never dared to imagine it before."

"One of my travel goals was to see the diversity of the world, but suddenly seeing such a high landscape leaves me lost."

The half-elf chuckled, her smile carrying more resignation than disappointment.

"People don't pay attention to me when they talk, I can't join in the conversation, discussions about demons, treasure creation, searching for treasure swords—I can't help you with any of it, just stand and watch."

She sighed, gathering a mass of magic power in her palm—this was currently the strongest magic power she could muster, but compared to those top ten merit world knights, it was like a firefly competing with the moon.

Dorothy's rainbow eyes glanced at the other young girls, her gaze gentle.

After she finished speaking, they all showed signs of agreement, seemingly deepening their connection on this level.

"Is this what you all think as well?"

The cat, wolf, and cow all nodded in unison.

"I also thought before coming here that arriving too early might make you uncomfortable."

"It's my fault for being so useless," Andasu said. "After leaving the island, no one knows who the Platinum Ace is, operating a Flying Airship isn't a particularly impressive skill."

"You can't say that; we don't even have a ship yet—your skill will be crucial in the future."

Zoe gripped the awakening Wind Breath Sword, "I'm still too weak, unable to quickly enter the Excellence Realm to really assist Li Ang."

ALulu bowed her head silently, evidently dissatisfied with her slow progress.

Li Ang had just met Lisya, even the genius figures he'd spent days with like Aira—they were all talents.

The young girls before him weren't inferior to them, even stronger; compared to their peers, they were already far ahead, though several years younger than those two Order Knights.

In Nebis, these years are the golden period for strength growth, and the girls of the Star Flower Travel Corps were about to begin their rapid leap in power during this time.

Nevertheless, even after saying all this, Li Ang couldn't easily cheer up the four who felt disheartened.

So he said with a smile, "Let's pause the cultivation for now. There's plenty of time later, and there's a commission here that only you can do."

Zoe's ruby-like eyes showed a hint of interest, "What is it?"

Li Ang smiled mysteriously, "It's something you've been waiting a long time for."

"What is it?" The little cat's body swayed, like gathering energy for a leap.

"Robbing a bank."
