I was expelled from the team and was recruited by the demons?

"You have heard the words of the President."

In the guild's tea restaurant, Anna picked up the teacup in her hand and took a sip.

"Heh... I didn't expect even the president to be shaken, is Eli's kid so charming?

Winnie crossed her legs, and the domineering smile on her face was in great contrast to that innocent countenance.

"Eli is special, he has a kind of... It's a very unique aura, do you remember when he first came, he didn't seem to see the difference between the status of nobles and commoners at all. Anna

nodded, her eyes looking worried.

"I'm annoyed when I talk about this, why should he, a lowly civilian, dare to put on such a commanding attitude towards us."

Winnie slapped her hand on the table, clearly unhappy with Eli's attitude.

But in reality, this is just Eli's memories of them.

When Eli was at Morningstar, although he didn't communicate with people much, he never put on a high-minded appearance because of his strategy.

Eli's attitude towards them can only be summed up in terms of equality at best.

As for commanding, that's not at all.

Moreover, Eli is a person from another world, and of course he will not be affected by the aristocracy.

If anything, he would at best be more harsh when formulating tactics.

This is also normal, after all, every time a tactic is formulated....

Winnie and the others would always make proposals that Eli thought were stupid.

For example, once before Morningstar was on a crusade against an A-class labyrinth with swampy terrain.

Eli used the topographic map he had obtained from the guild to determine the most suitable location to strangle the maze keepers.

To this end, he did not hesitate to spend a considerable amount of time and energy, intending to lure the Labyrinth Guardian away from the swamp, just to ensure that the operation was foolproof.

As a result, in the later action meeting, after Eli put forward his idea, he was directly accused of making a big fuss by a group of guild leaders led by Winnie.

In Winnie's opinion, Eli's approach was purely out of greed for life and fear of death.

After all, luring the Guardian out of the realm requires the use of quite a bit of bait, and the cost is not trivial.

On top of that, adventurers have never thought of luring Guardians out of their realm when they raided labyrinths.

Eli's approach, in their opinion, can be said to be completely unfounded.

But Eli knew very well that the guardians of the labyrinth were not at the same level of danger in the swamp as they were outside the swamp.

Once the people of Morning Star choose to fight it in the swamp and enter its home turf, they are afraid that it will turn into a battle to the death.

In the end, Eli was so angry that he almost beat Winnie in the conference room, and if he hadn't been stopped by Cynthia, he didn't know how it would have ended.

The follow-up strategy action proved that Eli did everything right.

If they hadn't followed Eli's plan, the thick and deep swamp would have been enough to keep all the Assassins involved in the operation from deploying.

But even after the operation was over, Winnie was still stubborn, claiming that the swamp was not that deep at all.

It's just that anyone who actually participated in that operation knows how horrible that place is.

However, Eli didn't care about these at the time, and in his opinion, winning the strategy battle was enough.

"No matter what, even if the president relents, you and I must make her give up such thoughts."

Anna's fingers tapped lightly on the tabletop and said lightly.

"That's right, if Eli is really put in a high position, then wouldn't we nobles really be trampled under the feet of that kid."

Winnie's hand clenched slightly, which seemed completely unacceptable to her.

"That being said... But now that the guilds in the royal capital are looking for Eli, it doesn't matter to the others, but if Eli really joins those three S-ranks, it won't be a good thing for us. Anna

said with a sigh.

"Hehe... Don't worry, they don't have that chance.

Winnie sneered, a twinkle in her eyes.

“...... You want to kill him?

Anna frowned, looking at Winnie with some surprise.

She knew that Winnie and Eli had never gotten along, but she didn't expect Winnie to do this.

"Of course not, Eli is also a person who is standing on the cusp now, if I really want to move him, I'm afraid it won't be easy for me to get away with it."

Winnie spread her hands and added with a smile,

"But... It should still be possible to make his reputation bad, and it can also make the president completely dead to him. "

“...... What are you going to do.

Anna reached out and put her hand on the wing of her nose, although she was a nobleman, although she was quite disdainful of such behavior.

But for the sake of Morningstar, she also understands that since some things are irreparable, she can only go to extremes.

"I've already arranged it, and now that Eli is a wanted criminal after all, it's not difficult for him to be charged with some ugly charges."

Winnie smiled, seemingly sure of her plans.

"I want a specific plan of action."

Anna said with a frown.

"You should have heard that the knights led by Duke Vins should come back in two days, and the Queen of Blades will also come back with the team."

Winnie cocked up her index finger, apparently already having a plan of action.

"And then?"

Anna then asked.

"I'm going to have someone find out where she is, and then have someone sneak into her room and put this... Left there. With that

, Winnie pulled out a delicate amethyst necklace from her hand.

It's the one Eli gave to Cynthia.

"You say, what will the Lord of them and Duke Vins think when they see it?"

“...... Why is this thing with you? Anna's

expression changed dramatically at the first sight of the amethyst necklace.

"Don't get me wrong, I didn't steal it, the chairman did take this thing out and sell it, but I bought it back later, I didn't expect it to come in handy here."

Winnie looked at the necklace in her hand, and a slight sinister smile flashed across her face.

“...... The president must have thought that Eli had hidden this thing.

Anna sighed faintly.

She could already imagine that once Winnie implemented this plan, Cynthia was afraid that she would completely die to Eli.

The misunderstanding between the two is afraid that it will be completely torn apart.

"What's so bad about it, since she bears the responsibility of the morning star, there are some things she can't accept."

Winnie put the necklace back in her pocket and said lightly.

"What do you want me to help you do?"

Anna looked at Winnie, and she suddenly felt that the comrade-in-arms in front of her, who had been side by side for many years, seemed extremely strange at this moment.

"I need a witness, but that person can't be me, and I can't reveal it, otherwise the credibility will be very low."

Winnie placed her finger on her lips and made a silent gesture.

"But you're different, Anna, you're the most rational person in our guild, and only if you reveal the origin of this necklace, no one will implicate us."

Anna was silent, silent for a long time.

"Okay,"

she finally nodded.

Maybe that's the only way to keep Morningstar in its current glory...
