The Villains Need to Save the World?

e “Pure White Heaven”.

Noreya, the assassin, had been hiding undetected on the roof of Bella’s carriage this entire time.
In the entire academy, the number of people that could see through her stealth state was not more than ten.
Earlier, if they hadn’t been able to compromise, it was very likely that Archbishop Ellen would have been the first red-robed archbishop in history to be stabbed to death.

There was a secret underground market in the central area of Olsylvia Academy, in Frank Civilian Academy.
All of the customers here were wearing grey capes to conceal their identities.

The number one exchange here, the Swinburne Underground Exchange, didn’t accept magic storage cards here, only hard cash.
This territory belonged to the Mask of Darkness society, and it was another society that had prior conflicts with Bella’s Rose Society.

In the Swinburne Underground Exchange, all transactions except for slavery were allowed.
Bella’s carriage was one of many that were rolling along the Exchange’s roads.

In the carriage rode Bella, Noreya, and Elaine.
This type of place was suited to the assassin and the puppet master.
Earlier when she had left, Lisha and Kriss had also wanted to come, and Bella had barely managed to convince them to stay.

The three girls were dressed the same in black cloaks and black masks.
This area was usually too chaotic; normal girls wouldn’t come here.
Noreya and Elaine were two of Bella’s more boyish roommates; they never even wore perfume, making them even less likely to be outed as women.

“Elaine, is what you said true?”

“Of course! When have I ever lied to you, Bella? Even if I lie to other people, I would never lie to you.
Wait, Noreya, put down your dagger, let’s talk it out!”

“It’s not a big deal even if you have lied to me before, calm down… Stop messing around.
We’re on a mission.”

Noreya didn’t particularly mind that Elaine had lied to her before.
It was just that, as soon they had gotten on the carriage, Elaine had latched onto Bella’s hand.
Elaine knew that Noreya liked to put on a cold exterior, and took advantage of this to be intimate with Bella.
This was too despicable.

According to Elaine, the Radiant Church’s Law Enforcement Team had begun excavating Scripps Cemetery last night, when Bella had been stirring up trouble in the St.
Louis Church Academy.

She didn’t know what happened after though.
She only knew that after Bella stopped causing trouble, the ghosts that had continued to wreak havoc in St.
Louis Academy had come from within the Scripps Cemetery.

The fact that dark ghosts were emerging from a ruin of the Radiant Church was extremely abnormal.
The Doors of Truth society was only able to repel the spirits with the aid of the knights of the church, along with great personal sacrifices.

Since Bella was also a partner, her money had been wasted.
However she was only here for fun, the real losers hadn’t given up either.
They reorganized private excavation parties.

Captain Glaren had apparently received word from the church.
This time, they would allow the participating parties to recruit their own crew to excavate the ruins.

Bella didn’t care about what happened with the Scripps Cemetery anymore.
If she couldn’t find the first generation Pope, she would just bury the Seed of Life along with the golden box it was sealed in.
The effect would simply be lesser…

However, the work supervisor was Captain Mathilde of the Law Enforcement Team that Bella had just met.
She had some good feelings toward this little captain.

After entering the Scripps Cemetery last night, Mathilde had never come back out.
Bella hadn’t planned for that at all.
She decided to investigate the cemetery and look for the inheritances of the previous Popes as well.

Graverobbing was a very complicated job.
It was the same in this world too; you couldn’t do it without a team.
The reason that Bella had come to the Swinburne Underground Exchange today was to look for a graverobbing team.

Exploring the Scripps Cemetery was a hugely popular mission right now, and people were spending big money to look for teammates.
The number one spot on the Exchange’s notice board was the exploration of the Scripps Cemetery.
Yesterday, the pay had only been a couple of thousand gold, yet today, it was 100,000 gold.
The price had shot through the roof.

The exploration mission only required a party to find the correct path to the main hall of the cemetery.
The employer would send their own trusted subordinates to excavate the treasures.
This kind of simple exploratory mission would be considered overpaid at a couple of thousand gold, let alone 100,000 gold.
There must be some other reason for its astronomical payout.

After dismounting the carriage, Bella and company quietly made their way into the Exchange’s most opulent Sorro Hotel.
It was run by the Mask of Darkness organization, and the boss lady, Sally Roy, was the older sister of the Chairman of the society, Samson.

Bella had originally assumed that as the sister of Samson, who was built like an ox, Sally Roy would also look menacing.
Yet after meeting her, Bella began to suspect whether the two were even blood-related.

A chilling beauty sat at the counter of the Sorro Hotel.
She wore a black tuxedo, and if her long hair weren’t draped across her shoulders, Bella might’ve mistaken her for a certain handsome man.

Sally Roy wasn’t wearing any of the typical female accessories.
She wasn’t wearing any accessories besides an oversized monocle over her right eye.

Due to the contrast of her black tuxedo, Sally’s skin looked exceptionally fair and delicate.
She was currently reading a magic tome and looked like a scholar instead of the big sister of the “Mask of Darkness” society’s chairman.

Although Sally Roy was dressed like a man, this didn’t detract from her femininity at all, mostly due to her chest.
A beauty with her figure, wearing a black tuxedo, showed off the beauty of contrast.

Bella didn’t go up to talk to her; they were in opposing societies after all.
She had even fought with Sally’s little brother.
If Sally were a bro-con, then things would get complicated.

Noreya and Elaine quietly flanked Bella and dragged her into the inner area of the hotel before finding an out of the way spot to sit.

Sally lifted her head and reached up to adjust her monocle.
She absently swept her gaze across Bella and her friends before quickly looking down again.
Bella thought that they had been discovered, though thankfully it looked like Sally wasn’t going to do anything.

Although Bella and the girls were all wearing masks, they didn’t cover their eyes.
Sally was able to tell that they were all girls at a glance, based on their eyes.
Sally had many years of experience in the underground society, and had a sharp eye for people, despite only being around twenty years old.

Furthermore, she deduced that the girls should be fairly beautiful.
If their eyes were beautiful, then the person wouldn’t look that ugly either.

“Charlie, give that table 40 percent off their order.
Also, give them the number two menu, not the number one menu.”

“Understood, Miss.”

After giving out a few brisk orders, Sally Roy returned to reading.
Even though she ran an underground hotel, she still liked to look out for fellow women.
In her eyes, Bella and her friends were simply a couple of young ladies out for some shopping.

The Sorro Hotel menu had two versions.
Menu number one was meant for male customers, whereas menu number two was meant for female customers.
The first one was used to squeeze money out from their customers, and only the second menu had normal prices.
Sally didn’t want to scam fellow women for money, so she arranged for Bella to receive the second menu.
