Chapter 141: 141: Rosie City
Roger is known to be half-step to the 5th tier. He only lacks two special materials in his recipe to concoct the pill. That\'s why he took this opportunity to venture beyond the walls, in hopes of finding the materials he needed from a certain type of Apokalips while leading the operation. Roger comes from a poor family. A man who, step by step, attained what he currently has. He believes that if you truly want something; you work your ass to get it.
Now that he was 39 years old. He wants to reach the 5th or have the same status as David. A man that he hates deeply. Roger believes that he could do so if he works hard enough!
By the age of 15 years old. He was known as the underground boxing champion. Well, Roger joined boxing to earn money for his family in the first place. Then, at the age of 20, he retired and joined the Scout.
By the age of 21, he was already promoted to the 8th tier due to his meritorious deeds. At the age of 26, he became Tier 7 Destiny. As one climbs the Destiny tiers, the harder it is to advance. At the age of 34, he successfully became a Tier 6 which allowed him to lead teams. Now that he was 39 years old... He wants to become 5th tier through this mission! After all, as the one who will lead the team, He would have the highest benefits.
If the scouts would receive 50,000 contribution points upon succession. On the other hand, he would double theirs! A whole 100,000 points!
Roger smiled sweetly as he felt that the future was bright. As long as he successfully leads this team... He would become an influential figure in no time and surpass that damned David! As he thought of this, he looked at the exhausted scouts and made his voice way deeper than usual.
"We will take a rest first!"
The scouts breathed a sigh of relief as they heard this. They had covered 50 kilometers on foot and they were dead tired. Their feet were sore from the non-stop walk. Even though they\'re already Destiny, that doesn\'t mean they are tireless machines. It just made them last more than normal humans.
"Finally! My damn feet feel like noodles now. It\'s actually inconceivable how vast the Wall of Rose is compared to the city." A scout from team three sighed and slumped on the ground tiredly.
"You\'re right. The difference in size is really incomparable. If we succeed in this operation. Doesn\'t that mean we can be a bit freer?"
"How do you say so?"
"Idiot! Of course, we have more places to go. We won\'t be confined to just those few districts our city has!"
...
"These days have been exhausting." Shu stared at the ruins of the city before them. Sixteen days went by since the start of the mission. Now, they\'re finally in the first area marked on the map. "I don\'t know what Captain Roger wants us to retrieve here, but it seems crucial for our mission."
On the other, Kidd gritted his teeth. They were assigned by Roger to do an expedition in the ruined city, which he felt was the most difficult task. "Damn it! Why it must be us!? Why not other teams? Isn\'t this the fucking capital city on the Wall of Rose in the past? Shit! If a Tier 8 appears, I\'ll remind you guys I\'ll be the first one to run!"
Yes, it was Rosie City, a prosperous city in the past and the capital of Wall of Rose.
Caleb chuckled lightly when he heard this. "Obviously because of me. I have the highest combat prowess among the new batch, after all." It was a simple truth. If he goes all out, he thinks that could even take on three Tier 8 Destiny or 8th-seat officers.
"At least we\'re not the ones assigned to Spider Town... Right, Johan? That damned town has a tier 8 Spider Queen." Kazuto turned his head at Johan, who they knew once encountered the Spider Queen and even escaped. "Still, I wonder what we\'ll encounter in this damned city..."
Caleb eyed the city in front of him that looked like a Metropolis in the past. He felt danger and malicious presence within with his keen spirit. However, as long as there\'s no tier 7, it would be fine, right?
As he thought of this, he habitually opened his status.

Seeing the grin on Johan\'s face made Shu think. Is he crazy? What he was grinning about? Perhaps Johan actually likes danger!? A damned daredevil?
If Johan knew what Shu thought of him. He would just roll his eyes. After all, it\'s not wrong to be happy seeing progress, right? 8080 units... As long as he accumulates another 2000+ of taboo energy, his ascension to the grade 3 taboo realm would boost his strength and spirit attributes once again. Not to mention, gain another ability!
"Let\'s go. No matter what. We have to be careful." As Rozho said this, he clenched his teeth to hold one of his three katanas in his mouth. "Let\'s go?"
Just like that, team seven made their way toward the ruined capital city of the Wall of Rose with bated breath. They didn\'t know what they would face inside, but they were ready.
