Chapter 108 Come Back Now
If Joanna had gone back to rest, no one could’ve said anything.
But people online had already caught footage of her at the Dungeon Plaza.
She was so dedicated that she skipped the celebration banquet just to grind dungeons.
If she didn’t deserve first place, then who did?
Reporters rushed over right away.
But not everyone was allowed into the Dungeon Plaza.
People without combat roles weren’t permitted inside.
Most reporters were stopped at the entrance.
Of course, there were also oddballs, like Kyler.
For the sake of his livestream, he decided to risk it and chased all the way to the plaza.
The place was huge. It took him a while to find Maverick. Once he did, he started a livestream stakeout.
“Guys, relax. Even if I wanted to yell, I wouldn’t dare. This place is packed with pros. One wrong move, and I’ll get kicked out.
“But Lucas and his old teammates might still show up.
“So we’ll wait here and see p>
Lucas and his group, of course, didn’t appear.
Covered in filth, they had fled in disgrace.

Don’t give up. In a few days, the reporters will leave. We still have a chance. Joanna has to stay
in Ascension Tower for at least ten days. This is our last shot p>

Just then, Lucas’s communicator rang. He checked it.
+5 Pearls
It was Nathan Harrison-the senior Amshien Group employee assigned to oversee them after they signed. He was their direct supervisor and team leader.
Nathan was furious. “Lucas, have you lost your mind? Instead of keeping your heads down, you put yourselves on display for the whole internet to mock! Amshien Group just settled things with her, and you go and stir trouble again!
“Netizens have already dug up your connection to Kayden. Are you trying to get fired?
“You just signed your contracts. If you damage the company’s image, we have the right to sue
you.
“The penalty is 50 times the contract value-one billion. If you can pay it, then get lost. If not, get back to headquarters immediately p>
The verbal lashing left Lucas’s face dark.
He didn’t want to return, but there was no way he could afford the fine.
Neil rubbed his forehead. “Let’s go back. We’re still under contract p>
Clenching their teeth, the group had no choice but to turn around and head back.
Violetlight City.
After berating Lucas and ordering them back, Nathan called Rhoda as well and told her to come in immediately.
When he finished, he turned to Louise with a flattering smile.
“Ms. Lloyd, they’re all on their way back. Honestly, why don’t we just terminate all their contracts? That’d make us a fortune p>
Louise shot him a sharp look. “Shortsighted.
“These are all S-rank talents. When you signed them, you received a hefty bonus. Aren’t you about to be promoted to department manager p>
In Violetlight City, S-rank talents were priceless. Locking one in took little upfront cost but promised massive long-term gains.
Nathan had been incredibly proud back then. Now that things went south, he just wanted them
gone.
“Ms. Lloyd, with this mess on my hands, you still plan to promote me?” Nathan clearly wanted nothing to do with them anymore.
Disdain flashed in Louise’s eyes. She no longer looked anything like she had when dealing with Joanna. She was cold and aloof now.
“No wonder you’ve been stuck as a team leader for so many years. They offended Joanna and stirred up public trouble. This is the perfect excuse to call them back and dump them in some remote public zone to rot for decades.
“It gets revenge for Joanna and brings us more resources.
“She’ll owe us a favor.
“Of course, there are other options. They’re S-rank, after all. Their children have a high chance of inheriting that talent. Violetlight City has plenty of wealthy women with weak talents but strong business minds. See if any are interested.
“Rhoda is also pretty. She joined their team, so she crossed Joanna as well.
“Ask if she’s willing to have a child for a senior executive. If she refuses, send her off to mine in some pioneering wasteland with the rest p>
“Y-yes! Understood p>
Rhoda arrived first.
She hadn’t followed her former teammates into madness and had stayed home to rest. But the online news exploded, and she stayed up all night scrolling. Her eyes were bloodshot
