Luck is a Charm

The fiery atmosphere between Daphne Camellia and Angela left the other two women speechless.

"When are you two going to stop this farce?" Evie couldn't stand it any longer as she stepped in to stop them.

Although still gnashing their teeth as they gaze at each other fiercely, they have ceased fighting since Evie has ordered them to.

Currently, it was already a unanimous decision that Evie is the leader of this group as she has every qualification to be one.

"How are we going to get past those crazy slimes in the ceiling if we will all get shot with their acid as soon as we walk out? If we cast shield, it wouldn't last long and we have no idea how long this path ahead of us is." Morgan Pelora enquired as she looked at Evie.

Evie smiled a little bit as she said, "It's actually pretty simple to get out of here but it requires everyone to cooperate with each other."

Afterward, Evie glanced at Daphne Camellia and Angela before continuing her words, 'Meaning the two of you need to stop arguing and get along with each other if you want to leave this area."

Angela sighs as she nods her head as fighting with Daphne Camellia here is not beneficial for either of them.

Daphne Camellia was also in agreement as she wanted to get out of this creepy labyrinth already. She was not used to this kind of environment given her family background and status.

"Good, now that you two are finally willing to calm down. I'm going to start explaining my strategy and if you have any questions, make sure to ask them because once we start, there's no turning back." Evie said solemnly.

The women swallowed their saliva nervously as they perked their ears up to listen to every detail that Evie said.

Missing one detail and causing a mistake could lead them to a disastrous situation where death is going to follow them behind.

Evie was glad to see their conflict resolved. 'I'm pretty sure that lecherous brat is planning to grab hold of these two women as well. If they are at each other's throat then it'll be hard for him to get her.'

Evie knew that Zen had an interest in taking Morgan Pelora and Daphne Camellia into his embrace otherwise, he would have never bothered with their affair.

Daphne Camellia didn't know about Evie's insidious intention and Morgan Pelora was too nonchalant to care about anything else besides finding the exit.

Meanwhile, Angela was just anxious to get back to Zen as she doesn't feel safe being alone again when she finally managed to find someone to rely on.

After everyone is ready to listen, Evie starts explaining the strategy and what they need to do.

As Evie was discussing their strategy, other people that were grouped up were also in fear as they struggled to come up with a plan.

"Damn it, we have lost 15 people to those crazy slimes that concealed themselves in the ceiling."

"Fuck, if I ever get out of this labyrinth alive, I would make sure the Scarlet family feels my wrath and retaliation."

This particular group consists of other noble families as they were teleported here without knowing the scheme behind the Scarlet family.

"Stop arguing, Jonathan and Jason. We need to calm ourselves and the both of you are only making the rest more fearful." Zack, a middle old man said solemnly.

Originally, their group consists of 40 people but they have lost 15 people when they walked out of the boundary line and were ambushed by the crazy slimes in the ceiling.

Being surprised, they couldn't cast their barrier on time to block the acid as 15 people tanked the full acidity and melted their flesh.

It was a horrifying sight as they witnessed the people that were alive a few minutes with them before they had their flesh completely disintegrated as they screamed in agony.

With only 25 of them left and thanks to Zack's swift reaction in dealing with the crazy slimes, they would have lost more people.

"Although we managed to find another safe zone and the crazy slimes have stopped attacking us, there is no guarantee that the safe zone would last forever," Zack said as he looked at the rest of the people. 

Some of them were old men like him but many of them were youths in their respective families that had some nobility.

However, their behavior and action right now were even worse than youths in the slum as they pissed their pants in fear.

"Such disgraceful behavior from you people. To think our kingdom would need to rely on these batches of youths who can't even keep their composure in these kinds of situations." Zack sneered at them.

Jonathan and Jason also shake their heads in disappointment and are glad to know they didn't bring their grandson to the auction house.

'If I had brought my grandson with me then I would have lost all my face if he acted like them. Luckily, I ignore his pleas and pitiful look.' Jason thanked himself for being able to resist his urge to bring him along.

Meanwhile, the other old men who brought their grandson to the auction house were embarrassed and a shameful expression.

They could only gnash their teeth as they looked at their disappointing grandson who couldn't even cast a beginner spell.

"What are we going to do now, Zack?" Jonathan enquired since they were completely isolated from others and have no way to contact others.

Their communication devices were blocked because of this labyrinth and they didn't prepare anything for a long, dreadful fight.

"Sigh, we can only recover ourselves for a few hours before pushing through. I fear these crazy slimes will attack us very soon and we'll be doomed by then if we are stuck here." Zack said as he sat down to recover his mana.

The rest nodded their heads as they sat down and focused on recovering their mana as well.

Similar situations like this have happened across the labyrinth but none of the groups were able to meet up with each other. 

It was like there was a separate dimension between them that prevented any groups from meeting.

"Wow, these crazy slimes sure are good-looking. I wonder if I can make them as my pet." While everyone was full of tension, Zen was happily in his area as he looked at the crazy slimes in the ceiling with admiration.
