Rhode's eyes glinted instantly as soon as he turned around and saw the female mercenary.

It wasn't because this female mercenary was particularly beautiful or attractive to him, but it was due to her face being concealed by a frightening grey mask. Although she had an alluring figure under the fitting leather armor, her stature was similar to Anne's, which didn't attract Rhode that much. However, as a matter of fact, this young woman was much more attractive than Anne.

Because she was one of the vice leader of the Purple Lily Guild: the 'Snow Woman', Paris.

Rhode was very familiar with her because in the game, Paris was well known among the players. It wasn't due to her beautiful appearance, powerful abilities, or god-like equipment, but because of her life background which made others sigh in pity.
