BXBX NOVEL Chapter 142 Guild
"Whatever, I just came to give this proposal." Ivan looked at everyone carefully before standing up while stretching his back.
"Old age is really catching up, I feel back pain when I\'m stressed now," He said with a normal casual voice.
Velian kept looking at him with a calm look until he mentioned something that took everyone in the room by surprise.
"Ice Princess of Bersa, I didn\'t expect to see you here. I really wish you didn\'t quit adventuring, you were one of the candidates to join our community," Hearing his voice Daphnia went pale. She didn\'t know how he quickly identified her but somehow It felt absurd to her.
"Old man, don\'t talk about unwanted things, if you want to leave this city without any harm," Velian used his skill to intimidate him.
Daphnia was happy that he stood up on her behalf but still, she felt uncomfortable knowing that people knew her real identity.
"This is-" Ivan was sweating heavily feeling the threatening aura of Velian. He just wanted to have the upper hand by showing that he knew about her identity but he didn\'t expect it to backfire.
"If you kill me, our guild will act because they won\'t tolerate external parties killing their members," He wasn\'t scared about his life but still he didn\'t want to die since he had many things to achieve.
"It isn\'t hard to make your death look like an accident or I can use this war to dispose of you, there are many ways to kill you without leaving any evidence telling anyone I did that," Ivan looked at Velian with a cold expression.
"I will repeat this I don\'t want to be on the bad side of anyone but if you want to play with me, I\'ll do the same with you," With those words, he released his passive skill while letting Ivan move his body back.
Even though Ivan was highly dissatisfied with how Velian was easily able to paralyse his body with his aura alone he hide his displeasure while smiling at him.
"I went too far, don\'t worry I won\'t tell anyone about this, besides we don\'t have any connections with the empire," Ivan wasn\'t foolish enough to be arrogant and miss his chance.
"You were very famous in your adventuring days that\'s why I knew you," He pointed at Daphnia while talking.
Daphnia just gave a little awkward smile hearing it.
After talking with her Ivan got ready to leave the room without any results. He felt like he lost every chance he had to convince Veloam to join them.
"Oh! I forgot," Ivan quickly looked at Velian suddenly as he had a high revelation.
Velian felt a little annoyed by how he won\'t leave. He just wanted to spend his time with his family and girls but this old man kept pestering him.
"What is it this time?" He asked.
"Can you occupy some adventurers in this city? We were exiled by the kingdom as we didn\'t help them with war," Daphnia felt a headache hearing his words.
They already had enough problems without them but now she felt like their workload is going to increase more.
"What do you mean?" Velian was confused why the kingdom would do such a thing which would disadvantage them.
"Well, guild and kingdom had an agreement that they won\'t interfere with each other and in exchange for letting us open a branch, the guild would help them in a dire situation,"
Velian got an idea about where this was going from the tone he spoke.
"So why did you break that contract then? Make no sense,"
Ivan looked at him with a little smile before answering him,
"Why do you think?" Velian felt ticked off by his smug smile.
"So, what do you want from me? I have nothing to do with this,"
"Can\'t you let our adventurers stay here for a while, we have no place to go," Velian\'s face further disfigured hearing his request.
*Tsk
"You are one hell of an annoying old man,"
"Just tell them to talk with viscountess, but if they do anything to cause the problem we will send them back," Velian said while indicating Ivan to leave him alone.
"Well half of our adventurers quit this since most of them couldn\'t leave their families and most of the remaining ones are rather high-level and those who take adventuring seriously so I don\'t think they will," Ivan said while opening the door.
He tried to leave but suddenly Ivan felt someone blocking his road.
"Oh sorry, I didn\'t see," He excused before looking at the face in front of him.
It took him a few minutes to come back to his senses with a surprised face.
"What are you doing here?" He couldn\'t help but be surprised by the person in front of him.
"I should ask that from you, this is our place," It didn\'t take even a few seconds for others to identify who that voice belonged to.
"Gin old man, you know him?" Delving questioned looking at both Gin and Juno who entered the room.
"I do, we met once and that was an unforgettable day," He said while looking at Ivan who had a weird smile.
"Kid, don\'t forget to think about my proposal," Before leaving the room Ivan gave one last look at both Velian and Gin. He was confused about Gin who was well-known in the beast kingdom to be here.
Gin didn\'t know what was happening but he felt uncomfortable seeing Ivan.
"What is he up to?" Gin asked looking at Velian.
Daphnia and Delvi both didnt feel good about this as they felt he is a threat to their existence since he knew their real identity.
"Brother, should we get rid of him?" Delvi asked with a questioning gaze.
Velian thought for a minute until he was disturbed by Gin who panicked hearing it.
"No! That\'s not a good idea, he is still in the guild, right?" Hearing his question Velian felt that he knew something about them.
"Do you know something about them old man?" Everyone looked at Gin with interest hearing Velian\'s question.
"I don\'t know much about them but there\'s something about their organization, even our previous king didn\'t want to go to war with them," Velian felt his interest in this guild increasing more and more after hearing these things.
"Honestly, I don\'t even know whether it is a human organisation or another race, it is still a mystery for many of us," Gin looked troubled as he didn\'t know any more information.
"Hmm~ this is interesting so there might be people who can harm us," Velian didnt take Ivan seriously because he was weak compared to him but he felt sceptical about this so-called guild.
Daphnia and Delvi both looked worried while Juno had no idea what was happening.
"Veli," Daphnia called him out worried about everything.
Velian looked at her with a little smile.
"Don\'t worry mother, I won\'t lose to anyone, not this time," He thought while telling Gin and Juno to take a seat.
