At the villa
Rory ended the video call with Xarion. Then she immediately called Yuel and Jasper to her room.
Without wasting time, she showed them the message from the Beast God Matching System.
Yuel read it and frowned deeply.
"With rewards like this…" he muttered. "Rory, are you sure the Beast God isn't setting you up with a complete disaster?"
His tone was dry. "Nothing this generous comes without a catch."
He cast a meaningful glance. "Just look at Xarion."
Jasper nodded in full agreement. "I think Yuel's right."
Rory had already considered that possibility.
But... She lifted her chin slightly, her expression firm. "Those are Beast God Fruits. A Rank 12 core. And sacred medicine."
Her eyes gleamed. "Fortune favors the bold. Even if the Beast God is throwing me into a pit… I'm still going."
Her logic was simple.
Worst case? She could just dissolve the match afterward.
But the rewards—once in her hands—she wasn't letting them go.
Not a chance.
