As expected, Alice’s impetuous attitude instantly caused Richard to be extremely displeased.

As the leader of a nine-man team, Richard was used to the feeling of power.

Now that he saw Alice not giving him any face, he instantly felt offended. He was so angry that his bronze-colored face turned red.

As for Richard’s eight teammates, it was unknown if they wanted to show off in front of their Captain or if they really felt angry for him. One by one, they spoke up, “Miss, don’t go. How can you be so rude?”

“Our Captain just wants to be friends with you. Why are you so cold?”

“Please apologize to our Captain immediately. Otherwise, don’t blame us for being rude!”

Richard immediately raised a hand to stop the rest of his violent team members behind him. Then, he looked at Alice with a cold expression and asked, “Miss, did you just tell me to get lost?”

At this moment, Richard’s stern voice was filled with hostility and menace. It was as if Alice would pay a huge price if she dared to admit it!

Adrian was concerned that the young lady would be in trouble when he saw this scene. Thus, he quickly shielded Alice with his body and looked at Richard with a dry smile. “Brother, please don’t be too angry. Our Captain doesn’t understand these formalities. Please forgive her.”

Compared to Alice’s sharp words, Adrian undoubtedly seemed much more sensible and polite. His words were also very comforting.

Richard’s annoyance diminished a little. He knew he shouldn’t be angry with a young woman who hadn’t seen the world.

However, in front of his subordinates, Richard felt that it was necessary to regain some face. Otherwise, no one would be willing to submit to him in the future. Thus, he said, “Ask this lady to apologize to me. Otherwise, you can forget about leaving.”

Adrian heaved a sigh of relief. Fortunately, it was just an apology. Alice just had to say a few words.

Otherwise, if Adrian took the opportunity to extort money and resources from them, their losses would be huge.

After all, the strength of their beast-catching team was far inferior to that of Richard’s team. If they really fought, Adrian and the others definitely wouldn’t be able to resist at all.

Thus, Adrian quickly turned back to Alice and whispered, “You heard them too, Captain.”

“If you don’t want to apologize, they won’t let us leave. What do you think about giving in to them?”

“What do you mean?” Alice’s self-esteem was extremely high. If she believed that she had done nothing wrong, she would rather die than surrender and apologize.

Thus, filled with resentment, Alice pushed Adrian away. Then, she looked into Richard’s dark eyes with her beautiful blue eyes and said in a cold voice, “You want me to apologize? What gives you the right to do that? You were the one who offended me first!”

“What gives me the right to do so?” Richard was very impressed by this little girl’s courage. She had actually dared to talk back to him so many times. Did Alice not know that he was a famous Beast Tamer from Syr Town?

Richard looked down at Alice with a cold expression. Then, he suddenly drew his heavy sword from his waist and stabbed it into the hard mud. He sneered, “My strength!”

He had never been a reasonable man. To Richard, the world had always been ruled by the strong. Thus, since he was strong, everything he did was reasonable.

Alice immediately bristled like a cat whose tail had been stepped on. She glared angrily at Richard and said indignantly, “Your strength? Fine! How about we have a fight? Let’s see who’s stronger!”

“If you want to fight, Miss, then I’m willing to accompany you.” Richard had initially wanted Alice to yield to him. Then, he would let all of them go and allow them to die in the Spiritual Beast Forest.

However, he did not expect Alice to be so arrogant. This made Richard angry, and he made up his mind to teach this proud little girl a lesson.

Seeing that Alice was not only uncompromising, but even dared to challenge Richard, Adrian was both shocked and scared. He could not imagine how Alice could defeat Richard, who was so strong and unreasonable, with her weak and slender figure!

“Alice, don’t be rash…” The kind Adrian quickly grabbed Alice’s hand. He clearly still wanted to salvage the conflict that could have been resolved.

Thus, Adrian desperately expressed his goodwill and said anxiously to Richard, “Brother, our Captain doesn’t seem to be in a good mood today. She’s not usually like this. Please don’t be angry at her.”

“Since our Captain refuses to apologize, I solemnly apologize to you on her behalf. Please forgive us for our mistakes and insensibility. I’m sorry!”

Richard waved his hand, but his anger in his heart didn’t subside. Instead, he calmly said, “We’ve decided to prove ourselves with our strength.”

As soon as he finished speaking, Richard’s subordinates roughly separated Adrian and the others, creating a wide space for Richard and Alice to freely summon their contractual spiritual beasts.

Alice looked at Richard calmly. There was not the slightest bit of fear in her blue eyes. Instead, she appeared unusually excited, as if she was very eager to fight!

Meanwhile, her teammates Adrian and Charles looked at the girl with worried eyes. They hadn’t known each other for long, but they had a good impression of Alice. Thus, they were both secretly praying that the girl wouldn’t be hurt.

However, Gary, who was also her teammate, did not look worried at all. After all, he hated Alice very much, and this scene was exactly what he wanted.

Gary even hoped that Alice would die in Richard’s hands as soon as possible so that he could leave this place with his supplies.

By then, he would have enough money from selling the supplies to join a new beast-catching team.

Richard twisted his neck before bending over. Then, he placed his thick palm on the rough ground as he yelled, “Come out, Flaming Wind Fox!”

Then, rays of silver light immediately appeared on the ground, and the ground in front of Richard began to crack. Afterwards, a fiery red fox crawled out of the crack. It was as tall and strong as Richard!

Alice, on the other hand, did not show any signs of weakness. Her eyes were filled with determination.

At that moment, Alice, who had always been looked down upon by her teammates, summoned a massive magic array!
