Chapter 465: Chapter 346: A Spontaneous Trip

At that moment, seeing that Aaron had seemingly succeeded in securing an opportunity to join the other party, Bena could hardly sit still.

Zhang Xiaoman had not intentionally avoided this girl during the conversation.

In his view, this girl was willing to confront these monsters, so she was qualified in terms of courage.

Moreover, considering her current family situation, Zhang Xiaoman intentionally left an opportunity for her.

If Bena were to ask about it now, he wouldn’t mind letting her join as well.

Sure enough, after seeing Aaron successfully seize the chance to join this mysterious Extraordinary Organization, Bena could no longer sit still and immediately spoke up,

"Um, Lord Star Lord! May I ask... can I join too?"

She spoke with a lack of confidence.

After all, from the conversation between the two just now, it was apparent that Aaron’s family had once been members of this organization, but for some reason, the lineage had been discontinued.

Now, as a descendant of the family, it should not be difficult for Aaron to rejoin the organization.

But it was different for her, in their eyes, she was completely an outsider.

And such organizations likely wouldn’t readily recruit an outsider like her.

However, despite her lack of confidence and faith, Bena still spoke up.

Deep down, she didn’t want to miss this chance; she wanted to become a Tracker, to hunt these monsters and avenge her parents.

Even if taken a step back and simplified, asking wouldn’t make her pregnant, what if she succeeded?

Looking at the foreign girl with blond hair and blue eyes in front of him, bearing an expression full of anxiety and longing, Zhang Xiaoman sighed internally. How could he not discern her purpose?

Unlike Aaron, who joined simply for his ideals, Bena was driven by intense personal emotions. From the depths of her eyes, Zhang Xiaoman could see that hidden hatred.

"Revenge, indeed, is a crucial motivation to keep pushing oneself forward, but this Strength can also potentially blind its user, and I hope you won’t lose yourself in it in the future..."

Zhang Xiaoman’s words, like a splash of cold water, utterly chilled Bena.

But just when she thought she would be rejected, unexpectedly, she heard those surprisingly delightful words from him.

"However, judging from the current situation, this Strength will become your source for rapid empowerment. Considering what you’ve encountered, I can give you this opportunity..."

"But if you really can pass the test and join the organization, I hope you will learn to suppress it, not letting the Strength itself destroy your will."

Bena suddenly raised her head, looking at the powerful Transcendent dressed in a purple-black robe. Before she could reveal her joy, a mix of pain and grievance erupted first, and tears immediately started streaming uncontrollably from her eyes.

"Wuwuwu... Thank you, thank you for giving me this chance... I will surely treasure it... Thank you..."

Zhang Xiaoman sighed softly and said no more.

He handed the pocket watch back to Aaron, then checked the time. Nearly twenty minutes had passed since he had dealt with Esa, but the expected sound of sirens had still not arrived.

After a moment of thought, Zhang Xiaoman felt somewhat relieved—after all, the town was small, and he feared that the entire police department likely only had a few officers.

Lord Bear had found a moment earlier to tell him that the several police officers from before either fled or were injured and were probably still busy treating their injured comrades. They wouldn’t dare come back for a rescue.

Zhang Xiaoman’s original plan was to use the hearthstone to return with Lord Bear if anyone came. They would then come back in a few days to take them to Rebirth Island.

But now, since no one had come, he had plenty of time to take them all with him.

Aaron was very willing, as he was not originally from Milk Town and had planned to leave after settling his affairs here anyway.

It was natural for him to accompany this Transcendent and leave for the interior of their organization; he had no reason to refuse.

Bena, however, hesitated for a moment before agreeing.

Zhang Xiaoman could understand her feelings—after all, this was where she had grown up. With her parents having passed away suddenly and her imminent departure, it would be hard for anyone not to feel reluctant and sentimental.

Fortunately, Bena had already been planning to leave the town.

In her view, everything here only brought her sorrow. Leaving this place of sadness sooner would help her escape the pain quicker.

"Don’t worry, girl, it’s not like you won’t have the chance to come back. Our organization might not be on this continent, but the power we wield is surely beyond your current imagination. If you ever want to come back, you can come and visit anytime,"

Lord Bear said, seeking to comfort the girl.

Bena nodded and went upstairs to her room to pack her bags; shortly after, she came back down with a large backpack.

Thus, the two of them were about to embark on a spontaneous journey.

At this point, Zhang Xiaoman had used his wristwatch to call for the Dawn, but due to the distance, it would still take a while to arrive. As they had some free time, they started a conversation.

Of course, this conversation mostly consisted of the two newcomers asking questions to the uncle, Lord Bear.

It wasn’t that they didn’t want to ask Zhang Xiaoman, but they perceived the esteemed Lord Star Lord as having a higher status within the organization, making Lord Bear seem more approachable in comparison.

Lord Bear was still very handsome; now that he had deactivated the Spirit Detection Technique, his eyes had returned to normal, allowing them to see his true appearance.

At 37, Lord Bear was the epitome of a handsome and suave uncle, paired with a perfect physique that would make him the leading man in any movie or TV show.

No wonder when he first appeared, they had inexplicably felt a sense of security; his appearance fit perfectly with Americans’ ideal aesthetics for a leading man.

"Excuse me, Lord Taotie, are thorny demons really existing in this world? Those pine needles and footprints I saw outside Bena’s house earlier seemed a lot like the thorny demons my grandfather spoke about..."

Aaron asked, addressing his biggest quandary of the time. Yet, as he uttered the word "Taotie," his pronunciation was noticeably awkward due to his unfamiliarity with the term.

After a moment of thought, Lord Bear spoke:

"The traces you mentioned, I’ve seen them too. Those pine needles come from a species of North American pine tree. These trees can be found in a forest to the east of Milk Town, and they’re larger and longer than the red pine trees in the park, very easily recognizable."

"As for those footprints, they’re actually just from ordinary raccoons, and the pine needles likely brought along by them. It’s quite common for the town to have raccoons and their families come to drink milk during the Milk Festival when everyone places milk on the streets..."
