It wasn't that Levi assumed the other party were 'Combat Prostitutes' just because he saw Amazons; it was simply that Phryne Jamil, the Captain of the Ishtar Familia, had a physique that was far too bloated and obese, making her stick out like a sore thumb among a group of women with good figures.
For the captains and high-ranking executives of medium to large-scale Familias, Levi—out of various considerations—had examined their portraits via the rosters made public by the Guild, even if he hadn't seen them in person.
Moreover, in his future plans for Orario, the Ishtar Familia was undoubtedly a faction that needed to be reformed.
Since they would eventually be hostile to each other one day, then, no matter from what perspective, he ought to have some understanding of the Ishtar Familia's higher-ups.
In the anime from his previous life, the Ishtar Familia—or more accurately, the Familia's patron deity Ishtar—became interested in the protagonist, Bell Cranel. This was the only reason she was crushed by Freya, that crazy woman, leading her subordinates, and subsequently sent back to Tenkai.
But looking at it now, the Ishtar Familia obviously also has a significant relationship with the Evils. Otherwise, they wouldn't have sent members to conduct surveillance just because Ganesha made a move.
That being said, after seeing this group of guys through the 'Byakugan', Levi merely paused for a moment. Then, as if nothing had happened, he controlled his clone, Lind, to continue walking toward the seaside.
Because of his upbringing and what he was influenced by in his previous life, he detested 'Yellow, Gambling, and Drugs'. It's just that currently, the young man with short pale-gold hair only wanted to make a move against 'Drugs'—or rather, the sale of prohibited items.
As for the Ishtar Familia, in his original plan, they were ranked last. Drugs can be banned through cleansing; gambling can be guided through the exchange of interests. Only 'Yellow'—prostitution—really requires him to stand on the opposite side of more than half of Orario.
If he rashly provoked a conflict with the Ishtar Familia before the first two were resolved, then, even if Levi now possesses the strength of a top-tier adventurer in the Lower World, the Hestia Familia would extremely likely be forcibly expelled from Orario by the Guild and other gods with vested interests, using various reasons.
The long history of the rise and fall of dynasties in the 'Flower Planter' nation from his previous life had already told Levi what kind of consequences rashly clearing out enemies before mastering absolute power would bring.
A quarter of an hour later.
Melin's departure point for docking ships.
Lind, who had lagged half a step behind Ganesha and Njord, stopped. In the next second, the pupils of her eyes hidden in the shadow of her hat brim instantly turned into a slightly transparent pure white color.
It didn't even take a single breath before she saw a large number of monsters lurking in the waters near the harbor.
Among these monsters, the most common were existences like Mermaids and Sea Serpents. Secondly, there were some new aquatic monsters that had naturally evolved after leaving the Dungeon.
And also...
Lind raised her right hand and quickly drew a few Primordial Runes. In the next instant, a whirlpool deep enough to see the bottom suddenly appeared at a position about 300 meters outside the harbor.
Inside the whirlpool, a plant-type monster that shouldn't have existed there quietly appeared. And under the effect of centrifugal force, it was thrown into mid-air until it landed in front of Lind.
This monster's vitality was very strong. Even after falling heavily, its body did not turn into black ash. Instead, it struggled and opened the giant mouth on its head, changing from a form similar to a plant snake into a plant flower.
Levi had seen this guy, or rather this guy's kin, in the anime 'Sword Oratoria' in his previous life. Its combat power wasn't considered outstanding, but upon first encounter, it brought quite a bit of trouble to the few members of the Loki Familia who hadn't brought their weapons.
It was just that during the previous Monster Philia, the Sword Princess and the others didn't encounter the plant flower as they did in the anime. On the contrary, Levi saw the figure of a similar type of monster at the seaside through Lind.
The Spirit girl with short blonde hair drew another rune, binding the plant flower, which was roaring and wanting to attack, in place. Subsequently, she looked at Njord standing aside: "Is this the monster the Evils traded to your Familia?"
The latter did not deny it and frankly nodded his head.
After receiving an affirmative answer, Lind began to observe the specific internal structure of the plant flower. Ganesha and Njord stood aside, saying nothing.
Ganesha knew Levi was strong; after all, he was the adventurer who had defeated the Freya Familia's 'The Fierce' head-on in a 1v1 battle back then. But at this moment, he was still startled by the methods the other party displayed.
Especially those unfamiliar characters drawn casually just now... if Ganesha didn't judge wrongly, it seemed... to have already touched upon the domain of the gods. Even if it wasn't a true Arcanum, it was already not far from it.
Njord didn't think that much, only showing bitterness and confusion about the future on his face.
"[Have] skilled fishermen take this boat to the deep sea to confirm if my method is effective."
While speaking, she hooked up a corner of her lips: "Of course, to prevent accidents, I will also accompany you."
