Chapter 74: The Unexpected Alliance Part 2

As Duncan enters the USB into his Laptop, he opens the files for he sees it with total concentration.

" These files, are all the records of that time!!!? " Duncan says as he remembers exactly the very moment when Ardun and his people attack their villa with Hector, him, and the other guards attacking them to fend them off.

" Of course, I had one of my trusted men at the time, the same man that also record the second wave attack on your family done by the rest of Ardun's cronies, led by Rodrigo Grigoro, do you remember him? " Agniz asks.

" Rodrigo Grigoro...? " Duncan says as he remembers Rodrigo, the one who had one of the Magi's Forbidden Items < The Domain Eater, Anihilarg>, the item that could destroy Dungeons or even an Area Alter Magic used by a magic user.

" Of course, I remember him! "

" Not many dare to sacrifice themselves to use such a Forbidden Item as their last effort. " Duncan tells as he also sees all of the files that Agniz had given him.

" Now that I've already seen all of it, I can clearly accept and understand that you are entirely in a different faction with Ardun in the Warblade Guild. "

" But,... " Duncan says and stops for he wants to confirm Agniz about something.

" By giving me these proofs about the attacks, I wonder,... "

" Are you here to make some amends to me, or to my 'family'? " Duncan asks as he had some negative thoughts regarding this sudden gift from the enemy of his 'once' enemy.

While Duncan is being pessimistic about this, Mercy then forces Agniz to say the whole thing before Duncan decides on the most negative choice of option that would result in kicking Agniz out of his office.

As she tells this, Mercy also bragged about Duncan's achievements as an S-Rank as she also tells Agniz to never try on making a secret move behind Duncan. "

" I understand, I never dreamed of doing such things... " Agniz says as she then tells her reason for giving him the evidence herself.

" Listen, Mr. Grimshaw,... "

" The reason I came here to represent the Warblade Guild that I currently led here, is to fix the broken past between you and the 'Dethroned Warblade Guildmaster' Ardun Reyroad that already had cost the productivity of our guilds. "

" I don't know what others had in their perspective about this, but in my opinion, the biggest problem between both the Sharp Eye Guild and the Warblade Guild is the unhealthy rivalry between the late Dethroned Guildmaster Ardun Reyroad, and you, Mr. Duncan Richter-Grimshaw. "

" The rivalry that should've not happened for I, myself was one of the many that always criticized this problem inside the Warblade Guild. " Agniz says as she and her allies inside the Warblade Guild often criticized Ardun's behavior of constantly fighting Duncan which made them have to be enemies with the Sharp Eye guild.

As she tells this, she then tells both Duncan and Mercy that she and her allies never wanted the Warblade guild to be the nest of barbaric gangsters, the Guild's culture that Ardun Reyroad made which Agniz and her allies found to be a disgrace.

So, she and her friends, the ones who oppose Ardun decide to take action after his death and reformed back the Warblade Guild into what it should be before Ardun's leadership, a Guild of honor and patriotism.

" Oh my, so you're returning the Warblade Guild into what it should be!? " Mercy asks regarding this for she then remembers the Warblade Guild in the past, the guild was once a Guild of great Hunters who protect the people and often allied with the army since the First Warblade Guildmaster was once part of the Knights and the Military.

" Indeed, Guildmaster Mercy, and in order to return it to what it should be, I must first clear the problems made by Ardun while restoring the order of the Warblade Guild. "

" And also,... " she says.

" I would like to form an Alliance between our guilds. " Agniz says suddenly which shocked Guildmaster Mercy but not Duncan since he's already noticed that the talk will go in this direction.

"( I knew it, her proposal here was an alliance. ) " Duncan says while realizing that Agniz must be a responsible leader that would fix any solution as soon as possible, even if it means making amends to their enemies.

While Mercy is asking Agniz more regarding this, Duncan's sight is still on the laptop as he sees more of the files that he extracted from the USB, he extracts and checked all of them.

"( What is this, X? )" Duncan opens it as he opens a file named [X], not a suspicious file but the information inside it is.

" Hey Agniz!!! " Duncan calls.

" What are these? " Duncan asks while rotating his laptop, showing the data lists.

" Oh, so you have opened it? " Agniz says as she then explains that the list is about the 'outside influencers', those who supplied and donor Ardun's Guild campaigns during his reign.

" These peoples are the ones who we believed to hold the 85.95% of our Guild's profits that had been corrupted by Ardun back then. "

" These 'outside influencers' that Ardun often called, 'Investors', are the people that Ardun pledged his true loyalty to since I and my allies and found out that these people are the ones who helped him gain power over our very Guild, making him the Guildmaster in the first place. "

" I see, so these people are the ones who backing Ardun up, including this one? " Duncan asks as he points the list number 6 which has the initial name 'T.N.N'.

" Yes, based on our Audit of Ardun's financials, that one is the one who donors Ardun with money the most. " Agniz says as she tells that the money that 'T.N.N' had wired is above 300 million Credits, which is a crazy number for money to be received with and not just that, the table that contains the list also states that in return, Ardun had to pay 660 million Credits in return to this 'T.N.N' person

" That 'T.N.N' person is the one who financially supports Ardun in some events during his campaign, including. "

" The Raid to the Double Dungeon. " Agniz says as she tells bluntly about it.

" What did you say!!!? " Duncan and Mercy shout in shock as they know that very place, the Dungeon where Duncan found his son, Donovan.
