The King Of The Universe - 853 Guild Masters Decision
The Guild Master became serious. He gave a serious thinking. But no matter how much he thought using all his experience, he couldn’t find any solution.
At that time, the elder said, “Guild Master! We actually suspected something and secretly recorded the disappearance of the second team using the video recording crystal. But after watching the recording crystal, we couldn’t understand anything. Everything remained mystery for us.”
“Oh?” ,The Guild Master narrowed his eyes. He thought for a moment and said, “Ply the Recording Crystal for me!”
“Yes sir!” ,The Grand Elder replied and immediately played the Video Recording Crystal which they secretly recorded.
The team of ten rushed towards the Solar City in orderly and professional manner. Their movements were peerless as not even their surrounding cultivators could detect their movements. It was as if these people were unaware of the ten men team that passed from their side.
Their movements were swift and yet it didn’t disturb the air within their close vicinity. It was as if these people were ghost whose presence could not be detected by ordinary mortals. This kind of movements was possible for the people who trained it for long period of time under strict environment.
Looking till this point, the Guild Master nodded his head with agreement. It was obvious that he had appreciated their well disciplined order. Their display of disciplined movements was according to the teaching of their Guild. There was nothing with their performance so far from which Guild Master could find any fault. He was pleased with their performance so far.
But at that time, something happened which shocked the Guild Master. The Assassination Team which was performing well according to the opinion of the Guild Master has suddenly disappeared. It was as if he was watching a movie where Gods disappear fulfilling the wish of his devotee.
No one knew where they disappeared to. There was no sign. It was silent and no energy fluctuations exist that can help them to think in a certain direction.
Guild Master became serious. He contemplated but couldn’t find any answer even after using all his experience. Looking at the silence from even their Guild Master, all the elders sighed. They knew that even their guild master is helpless about this strange occurrence.
The Grand Elder said, “Guild Master! We didn’t know what exactly happened to the team. We sent an investigation team under one of the grand elders of our guild. But all we could face is a better failure. They couldn’t find even a single clue. It was as if everything happen naturally. If it wasn’t for their life candle which was extinguished, we wouldn’t have been sure of their deaths!”
Guild Master contemplated once again. He asked in a stern tone, “What is the background of our targets?”
“The background is also strange. The lifestyle masters were the residents from the Solar City. But the 10 combat masters were a bunch of barbarians.” ,The Grand Elder replied, “Actually in this year’s competition, the barbarians were allowed to participate. So these barbarians were recruited by a person named Jimmy. Jimmy is one of those 10 lifestyle masters from the city. And there background is also ordinary. They were just bunch of people who came from the lower realm. They don’t even have a proper home to live in. So they didn’t have the capital to recruit the members from the city in their team for the competition.”
The Grand Elder continued, “Hence they recruited a bunch of barbarians. So neither our target Arjun, nor his team leader Jimmy from the city has any stunning background. We could say that their background was less than even ordinary.”
The Guild Master found it strange as well. He once again looked at the recording crystal. But he couldn’t find anything at all. He then looked at the people and asked, “Who is the client that hired us for this assassination?”
Grand Elder replied, “Heavenly Raven Sect has a branch in the Eagle Province. The name of this branch sect is the Raven Sect. The Vice Leader of the Raven Sect was the one who hired us. Because of some dispute his disciple had with them, he wanted to kill them. And he couldn’t find the help from the Raven Sect at all for this. So since he was helpless, he asked us to do it instead. So we accepted the job.”
Guild Master thought for a long time and said, “Stop the assassination at once. Don’t even dare to go against the target without any clarity.”
“But… Guild Master! As you know the rules of the Guild is against this.” ,Grand Elder who was stunned asked immediately.
Guild Master knew what the Grand Elder wanted to say. Their guilt as one of the important creed. Once a job has been accepted, they should not go back on their words and refuse it. They had to complete it at any cost. Or else, it will attract the negative impression from the customers. It will damage the reputation of their guild. So this is the reason why the rule of the guild says that Once the mission has been accepted, then they should not go back and refuse it.
“You have misunderstood me.” ,Guild Master shook his head and said, “I am not going against the rules of our ancestors. I am saying that we should stop this assassination programme temporarily. We should first find out the reason behind their unexpected disappearance of over teammates. Even if we go blindly, then what happens is right in front of our eyes. We have to investigate the death of over team first. We should know what exactly is protecting them. Only then we will make our move.”
Guild Master said, “Contact the client. I will talk to the client personally. Arrange for the meeting.”
The elders who were attending the meeting were shocked. In the history of their organisation, this might probably the first time a Guild Master is going to speak with a client personally.
This showed the importance their Guild Master has placed in this issue. Well, it is understandable though. The sudden disappearance of their elite members was truly scary. As the saying goes, ‘Unknown is Scary’. If one don’t have any answer for a question which is about the survival of a life, then it will definitely scare them.
This is the reason why their Guild Master had decided to arrange a meeting with the client. If they don’t have proper information about the target, then they will have to face the unexpected events like this.
And who could provide the information better than the clients about the targets?
