Chapter 421: New Members? (3)

The news about Nathan Sigel surprised Bloed. He was surprised to learn that he was the person behind the recent attacks against Machine Revolutio.

However, after thinking for a moment, he remembered something that his sister told him a few days ago.

"Eres, if I'm not mistaken, you told me that you offended the leader of your previous club when you left it, right? And if I'm not mistaken, your previous club was [Wings of Liberty], was it not?" Bloed asked his sister after telling her about the things that Gina discovered.

Immediately, Eres's expression turned dark. All of sudden, her killing intent surged out, filling the entire place with an ice-cold chill.

"I'm going to kill him."

"Stop, stop stop! Where are you going? Hey, Eres, stop!"

"Let me go, brother. I'm going to kill that idiot."

Bloed was speechless. Why was this girl thinking about killing him immediately?

"Calm down, okay? You can't simply kill him, even if you are a princess. We should think about other ways to retaliate. I'm sure that we will think about something eventually."

Eres grunted in understanding. However, a look at her expression made it obvious that she still wanted to kill Nathan.

Well, Bloed was feeling similar to her. He also wanted to teach him a lesson.

After all, that guy had tried to close his club. And afterward, he tried to use [Call of the Wild] to lower his club's rank, even recurring to dirty methods to achieve that.

Moreover, he also sent people to infiltrate the club. God knows what he planned to do after that.

However, no matter how much Bloed disliked the guy, it was not as though he could just kill him. The consequences were too serious.

Well, if he sent Regina, he probably could kill him without leaving any trace behind. But although Nathan had tried to use insidious means to get back to Eres and Machine Revolutio, he had not gone too far yet, at the point where Bloed wanted to kill him.

At most, Bleod wanted to teach him a painful lesson.

However, that would have to wait until later.

Because right now, Bloed was busy with someone more important.

The new members of the club.

During the interview, half of the candidates were directly eliminated. Half of them because they wanted to join the club with ill intentions, and the other half because Bloed found them lacking.

Prince Calisto then investigated the remaining one hundred candidates, trying to find the most appropriate ones among them.

Quickly, he eliminated another big part of the candidates.

Of the remaining one hundred, sixty of them had some kind of trouble. Some of them had left their previous club due to a dispute, others had been accused of stealing a club's funds, and others had been in three or four clubs before Machine Revolutio, leaving every time shortly after they joined.

Perhaps some of them were actually good people, but Bloed did not want to take the risk, so he told Prince Calisto to eliminate them directly.

Of the remaining forty, seven of them were A-Rank. Bloed eliminated them as well.

Machine Revolutio only had two A-Ranks right now, and he, the leader, was just at the B-Rank.

If he added new A-Ranks to the club, then there was a possibility of these A-Ranks growing ambitious and trying to take control of the club.

Bloed did not think that they could succeed, but he wanted to avoid something as troublesome as that.

Of the candidates remaining, Bloed eliminated another third. Some of them because they were too old, others because they did not seem very talented, and others because they did not seem trustworthy.

In the end, only twenty members were left. Ten of them were at the C-Rank and ten at the B-Rank.

Bloed decided to add them as probatory members like the five newcomers that joined the club before. After observing them for a while, he would decide if they would become permanent members or not.

With twenty new members in the club, the tower immediately became lively.

"I'm a bit unused to seeing so many people in the tower." Liu Ying could not help but say when she saw the new members.

Aya, Princess Elwha, Sara, and Gina nodded. Gina, especially, pouted with a sullen expression.

"I liked it better when it was only my hero and us. Now it seems as though our love nest has been invaded."

Liu Ying rolled her eyes at Gina's shameless mention of 'their love nest'. But she had to admit that she agreed with her.

Previously, the tower seemed more like a place where friends gathered. Although it was a bit empty, it was warm.

Now, though, she felt as though a group of strangers was invading her house.

Bloed understood the girls' feelings, but there was nothing that he could do about it.

Since the start, his goal was to expand Machine Revolutio. There was a limit to what he could do with just a handful of members.

However, the new members quickly brought a series of trouble to the club.

Mainly because the method that Bloed was using to manage the club was inefficient after the number of club members increased to almost forty.

Moreover, this problem would become bigger as the number of members continued increasing.

The ideal result was to find a solution to this problem as soon as possible. Unfortunately, Bloed did not have any experience managing a big number of people, so he was not sure about what to do.

It was the same for Liu Ying, Aya, Sara, Gina, and the others.

However, someone offered herself to resolved this problem for him.

"Don't worry, brother. Leave them to me. I'll train them as loyal followers."

Bloed looked at Eres speechless.

For some reason, he had the feeling that Eres was thinking about something crazy.
