Immortal in Horror Game: She is the Fortune Teller!-Chapter 32 - 29: Got on the Wrong Car_2

Cromwell seemed convinced, "Alright then, since the esteemed guests want to see, I’ll bring her and Susanna over."

Ma Qi frowned slightly, "Earl Glennan, I think we made it clear, we just want to see Josh. We’ve already evaluated your Miss Susanna’s performance in the newcomer dungeon, and she doesn’t meet our requirements."

Being rejected on the spot, a hint of displeasure crossed Glennan’s face, "My Susanna is an A-level Spiritual Power User!"

Ma Qi smiled slightly, "Our guild isn’t lacking in high spiritual power players."

Glennan’s face turned serious, "If that’s the case, then I’m sorry, I can’t give you Josh. Because in our family, Susanna is the outstanding seed player. You can take Susanna, but not Josh — I won’t let her go out and embarrass our family."

He paused, emphasizing, "If your guild wants Josh in addition to choosing Susanna, then go ahead."

The meaning was clear, they could only take Josh if they also accepted Susanna.

The parties were at a standstill.

Ma Qi was disgusted by Glennan’s maneuver and decided to think of an alternative plan.

He smiled distantly, "In that case, I understand, farewell."

Seeing him about to leave, Glennan hurriedly stood up from his chair, "Coach Ma Qi, are you sure you don’t want to see my intelligent Susanna? She’s definitely an excellent candidate."

"No need, Mr. Glennan."

Ma Qi, along with a few teammates, had just left when people from the second guild, Eden Garden, arrived.

Standing at the mansion entrance, Glennan was still regretting not retaining the Mysterious Guild.

But upon seeing the people from Eden, his eyes lit up instantly.

Although Eden Garden Guild ranked second after the Mysterious Guild and wasn’t as powerful, Eden was the guild of the noble faction.

If he could place Susanna into Eden Garden Guild, that would be perfect!

Glennan perked up, "Honored Coach Webb, what brings you here?"

He quickly ushered them inside.

Coach Webb looked at him haughtily, "I’m here to scout for new players, is Josh your daughter?"

Glennan’s face stiffened.

Josh, Josh, why is everyone looking for Josh?

She’s an F-level spiritual power wastrel, what are these guild coaches thinking?

Feigning surprise, he said, "You’re looking for Josh? But she only has F-level spiritual power!"

Webb elegantly took off his hat and entered the room, speaking with certainty, "That’s right, I’m here for her."

Meanwhile, Ma Qi and his team came out of the villa with darkened expressions and headed toward the nanny car by the roadside.

Josh didn’t have time to greet them as they got in the car, slammed the door, and drove off.

Seeing they had car keys, Josh guessed they were the people Mermaid King had referred to.

Ma Qi said with a cold face, "Communicating with the noble faction is such a hassle!"

Thinking of Glennan’s attitude, he couldn’t help but press the gas pedal firmly.

Jiang Can nodded in agreement, "I just can’t stand these idiots. After all the talk, we named Josh specifically, and they insisted on pushing that Susanna! It’s such a bother!"

Rob snorted arrogantly, "That Susanna, I can tell she’s nothing but a flashy vixen at first glance. Augustine wants to squeeze her into the Mysterious Guild, but they don’t have the face for it!"

Ma Qi said coldly, "Since their family won’t hand her over, we’ll find a way to contact Josh ourselves."

Jiang Can nodded, "I guess we have no choice."

He couldn’t help but shiver slightly, "I get uneasy seeing their family acting so pretentious, with that flamboyant vibe!"

Rob got angry, "Who are you mocking?! We flamboyant types are not scheming like that!"

Jiang Can: "...Oh, sorry."

Ma Qi adjusted the glasses on his nose, "We rushed too much this time, didn’t investigate clearly and barged into the noble faction’s territory to demand people." 𝐟𝕣𝗲𝕖𝕨𝗲𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗲𝚕.𝗰𝚘𝐦

Rob boasted, "Even if we’re from the military faction, so what? With our Mysterious Guild’s reputation, didn’t Augustine still shamelessly want to send Susanna to our guild?"

Josh couldn’t help but interject, "Let me correct you, her name is Susanna, not Susanna."

Inside the car, there was sudden silence.

With a screeching sound, the large nanny car braked sharply on the road, its rear end lifting high.

Josh, who wasn’t wearing a seatbelt, slid right into the space between the front seats, her head banging hard against the console.

Yuze, also jolted awake, clicked his tongue unhappily, glanced to the side, and darkly grabbed Josh by the collar, pulling her back, "Ma Qi, what the hell are you doing? Are you driving with your feet?"

"No... since when did we have an extra person in the car?!" Ma Qi looked at the little girl in the back seat in shock.

Rob glanced up and down at Josh, "Why does she look familiar? Middle schooler? Who’s trafficking kids?"

Josh, who was a late bloomer and skinny, had just turned seventeen but looked like a half-grown middle schooler, with big eyes, a small nose, and a small mouth, her face not even as big as a male palm, truly deceptive.

Jiang Can quickly raised both hands, "It’s not my doing, the three of us have been together this whole time!"

The three looked in unison at Yuze, the only one who hadn’t left the car.

Beside them, Yushi suddenly spoke softly, "It wasn’t me either, I’m not into child trafficking."

Josh: "..."

Yuze’s mouth twitched slightly, "Are you insane? Weren’t you the ones who brought this Little Tactician out?"

"Little Tactician?" Jiang Can was dumbfounded.

Ma Qi carefully scrutinized Josh’s face, going from disbelief to delight, "Josh?! Are you Josh?!"

Josh: "..."

A strange feeling of stepping into a wolf’s den arose.

Before she could answer, Ma Qi clapped excitedly, "It’s really you! In the dungeon, you had clown makeup on, we didn’t recognize it was you at first!"

Yuze sensed something was off, glancing at the little one and then at the other big men, "Weren’t you the ones who went to the Augustine family to bring her out?"

They all shook their heads in unison, "Nope."

Yuze’s eyebrows arched high, looking at the kid weirdly, "What’s going on with you?"

Josh looked at him strangely, "Weren’t you the one who asked me to get in the car?"

They all looked at Yuze again, with eyes filled with reproach for being a beast.

Kidnapping such a small child!

"I..." Yuze was about to refute when he suddenly recalled, as if there was something to it, he even opened the door.

His face darkened as he examined the little kid, "I asked you to get in the car and you came along?"

Josh nodded.

Yuze just felt it was outrageous, he was about to explain.

Ma Qi quickly held him down, introducing to Josh, "Josh, hi, we’re from the Mysterious Guild and we’d like to recruit you to be a player on our first team!"

He started to elaborate on the Mysterious Guild’s background, business philosophy, current status, and future prospects, as well as team planning for the first team.

Josh caught only one key point, "Join your first team, and I can go to Burn City? Room and board included?"

Ma Qi felt a bit defeated.

So relying on the military faction, being the number one guild in the server, the most popular and strongest team — all these high-value attributes weren’t as important as free room and board in Burn City?
