My Beautiful Disciples, I'm really not the Main Character!-Chapter 654: Just what kind of monsters?

"Seven boxes of ten-thousand-year-old Heaven Grade Herbs, two boxes filled with Demigod Grade Artefacts, and seventeen boxes filled with artefacts that only pale slightly in comparison to Demigod Grade."

The Leader of the Merchant Union Branch read through the list of items loaded onto the ship, and almost every item mentioned was enough to make the eyes of immortal families shine with greed.

The girl standing on the ship barely showed any reaction.

The old man stopped only after reaching the twentieth item on the list, having accounted for a total of two hundred large boxes loaded onto the ship.

"Young Lady, is everything to your satisfaction?" the Merchant Union Branch Leader asked, maintaining an extremely polite tone toward the girl despite being much older than her.

"It should be enough as a greeting gift for them."

The girl didn't personally check the boxes. She simply nodded, believing everything the Branch Leader told her. After all, he would have to be a fool to lie to her.

A mere Branch was easy for her to destroy, as she came from the Merchant Union Headquarters. Lying to her was no different than lying to the Headquarters.

Even if the Branch Leader had a thousand times the courage, he wouldn't do something so foolish. If anything, he had gone above and beyond to serve the Young Lady, even closing the Branch for a day to ensure that no one could disturb her.

"Do you have something to say?" the girl asked, noticing a hint of hesitation in the old man's eyes.

"Young Lady, if I may ask... does our Merchant Union really need to go this far to win them over?" the old man asked, after gathering his courage.

Even though theirs was only a Merchant Union that wasn't as strong as the Ancient Families, they had connections with almost every great power.

They had so many Branches, and each Branch possessed countless treasures, let alone the Headquarters. For the Headquarters to send the daughter of the Merchant Union Leader was a display of great respect.

The Headquarters had sent many treasures with the Young Lady. Along the way, she had also collected more items from the Branches to increase the number of gifts, ensuring her presence would be known at her final destination.

The old man felt they were going too far. Weren't a few Demigod-tier artefacts enough? They even included a God-tier artefact, to be used as a mere gift?

The Merchant Union Headquarters itself possessed barely a handful of God-tier artefacts. To give one away merely for goodwill felt like a significant loss in his eyes.

As a Merchant who always placed profit above all else, it felt surreal for the Headquarters to make such a move.

"It's worth it. You just don't know it yet." The girl didn't answer, but her words were enough to make the old man notice that the Headquarters knew something that he didn't yet.

"I hope your trip brings you lots of benefits." The man lowered his head respectfully. He watched the ship rise in the air, and disappear into the clouds, marking the departure of the Headquarters representative.

"Finally she left. I really pity the man who is going to marry that demoness."

After the lady left, the old man finally sighed in relief. He brushed his fingers through his beard and walked back, finally having a relaxed demeanor now that he didn't have a superior to please.

"Then again, she is the only child of the Merchant Union Leader. Marrying her comes with a lot of benefits. I'm certain the Union Leader will select a very capable man for her."

He soon returned to the branch, and told everyone that they were going to get back to work from tomorrow, taking more business that they had put off because of the young lady. The branch was going to open up again.

With the first day of sunlight falling on the inn where Eren had been staying previously, the window slid open and a person jumped inside.

"He is not here?" He checked all around the room, but his eyes couldn't find the one he was looking for. "But the Oracle gave me this exact coordinate. I rushed through all night, so how can it be wrong?"

He saw the shackles that were tied to the woman's hand. The other end of the shackle was opened, which made him a little suspicious. Why would she tie her own hand and then go to sleep? Unless, there was someone else who slept with her here?

"Did he run away? He couldn't have predicted my arrival. The Oracle even used half her remaining lifespan to hide the cause and effect, worried that she might alert someone like him. So how?"

The man's expressions kept getting distorted with each passing second, as he walked back and forth across the room.

"He couldn't have gone far." He jumped out the window, and disappeared in the air.

The moment that man left, Trisa opened her eyes. Her body was still trembling, and her heart was racing. She had woken up the moment that the intruder entered, but every fiber of her instinct was telling her to not open her eyes if she didn't want to die.

She had never expected something like this. It was no different than the feeling of having her life and death in someone else's hand. The last time she felt this way, was when Eren's alter ego had taken over his body, and warned her to not let him enter the Central Continent.

Her face was ghastly pale as she sat up, her entire body drenched in cold sweat.

She hadn't even dared to open her eyes to see the face of that person. All she heard was her voice, and even that overwhelmed her brain, carrying the powers of laws.

Blood trickled out of her nose and ears. She could only look in the direction of the window, from where the person had left.

"Just what kind of monsters am I dealing with?"
