Its market value was even close to Dark Gold-tier equipment.

“The price is fine, but sorry. I can get a War Badge myself, and I really don’t want teammates anymore.”

She was tired of babysitting.

From Ivan’s description, his team sounded like another group of talented but inexperienced students.

In both mindset and skill, they weren’t worth her consideration.

Right now, Joanna was basically an army by herself.

Why bother teaming up?

“Alright.” Ivan didn’t hide his disappointment. He forced a smile. “If you don’t want the badge, then let me give your summoned beast a shield I used when I reached Level 10. His shield is still Level 1. I hope that’s fine.”

He pulled out a massive shield from his spatial gear.

It was a two-handed shield.

Of course, someone strong enough could use it one-handed or plant it on the ground while attacking with a single-handed sword.

Joanna thought for a bit and didn’t refuse this time.

Not because she felt Ivan owed her, but because she saw him as a new friend.

Anyone willing to give up a War Badge for their teammates had good character and was worth knowing.

Even if they didn’t stay close, a connection was still a connection.

Still, Joanna didn’t want to owe him anything, so she offered something in return.

“Then let me give you some fruit.”

She signaled to Nighthowl.

He immediately brought out a huge fruit basket filled with oranges, dragon fruit, blueberries, mangoes, and lychees, all Bronze-tier.

There was also a pack of cherries and two massive durians, both Silver-tier.

While the total value wasn’t as high as the shield, it was still impressive and perfect as a gift.

Ivan was just as happy and accepted it. He felt Joanna was truly worth befriending.

“I hope you also get into Voidstar University. Then we could be schoolmates.”

Joanna smiled but didn’t respond. Her goals went far beyond Voidstar University.

But with her S-rank talent, even guaranteed admission had been blocked by Hugo. Saying more wouldn’t change anything.

They wouldn’t acknowledge her anyway.

Just then, after the first round of performances, several celebrities walked over, clearly targeting Ivan with enthusiastic smiles.

“Ivan, would you like a date tonight?”

Ivan froze. He’d been one of the main targets in that matchmaking chaos earlier. Startled, he waved his hands wildly. “No, no, I’m good.

“Joanna, I should go find my teammates. Goodbye!”

Then, he ran off like he’d seen a ghost.

Joanna found it funny. Arranged matchmaking really was terrifying.

Unbeknownst to her, their entire interaction had been captured and uploaded online.

Immediately, explosive headlines appeared.

“Strongest Shield Warrior Ivan Proposes to Joanna.”

The photo showed Ivan holding the open box with the War Badge, which looked exactly like a ring from afar.

“Joanna Rejects Him; Ivan Leaves Heartbroken.”

The image showed Joanna standing still as Ivan fled the scene.

“Ivan Gives Gifts to Joanna; The Succubus Joanna.”

That one captured the moment Ivan pulled out the shield.

Meanwhile, inside a car heading toward the airport.

Lucas and the other three were gritting their teeth.

“Damn it, I can’t wait anymore! Let’s just take out a loan and buy teleport tickets!” Cedric snapped.
