Chapter 40: Blackbite Rat Labyrinth

Vincent silently observed the woman in the clown-faced mask and her companions. Aside from the man with the half-smiling joker mask, who had the strength of a Peak Tier 1, the others were only Tier 1, with 3-star and 4-star rankings.

He had already made up his mind, but before he could voice his decision, the man in the joker mask stepped forward.

"Ah, sorry for approaching you so suddenly. We're actually short of one person. One of our party members couldn't make it, so we won't be able to enter without the minimum of five."

"Oh, and I apologize if you already have a party. This young lady here was just eager to have you join ours," he said, patting the woman in the clown mask on the head.

She didn't protest, her gaze fixed on Vincent. She had witnessed his earlier encounter—how he defeated the man with just a snort. That convinced her he was stronger than them, so she decided to recruit him.
