The Rise of the Black Plain

Chapter 2493 Growing Influence

Chapter 2493  Growing Influence 

While Jembei's faction prepared for their next moves, with their new leader ready to continue the hunt that Jembei had begun, the group of recruits that Minos had brought to the guild moved forward on their own.

Outside the city, Abby was walking alongside Gloria and Lily, all three of them dressed in Law Enforcer uniforms.

Among them, Abby wore the symbol of a private on her uniform, a higher rank than the recruit rank that Gloria and Lily still wore.

Of Minos' companions who had recently joined the guild, three had already completed enough optional missions to earn the merit points needed for the promotion exam. All three of them had earned their places as Rank-and-File Soldiers after registering for the promotion test and easily beating their competitors.

Aside from Abby, Kendrick and Vico were the only two who currently held the rank of Soldiers.

Meanwhile, the others were trying to grow as fast as possible, doing optional missions and training less during the last few weeks. Since they were already very strong, they didn't need to train and cultivate to be able to perform their duties as recruits with ease.

Even so, all eight of them had served as law enforcers at some point during their time in the Armhands, just like these three women patrolling the guild's outer area.

"This job is fantastic. Even though the regular pay isn't much, there's always a troublemaker who gives us the chance to earn commissions for the arrests and punishments we hand out." Lily said as she walked next to her stepmothers.

Minos had recommended that all of his companions become Law Enforcers.

The job of a Law Enforcer did not promise high pay in a short time. If you were a Law Enforcer for a long time, it was a job that paid a lot. But in the short term, the chances of making a lot of points were minimal.

Abby smiled as the people in their path gave way when they recognized her. "There are arrogant fools in the entire universe who get into trouble with people they shouldn't. Minos was right. Being in a position where many hate you actually bring many opportunities."

Abby and her son Kendrick had earned their merit points for their promotions in the same way. External members of higher positions than theirs challenged them both.

Just as Minos had done in the past, they had defeated their opponents and earned their merit points, which were enough to pay for the promotion exam.

As for Vico, he hadn't been challenged. He had taken advantage of an opportunity that had arisen to go on an external mission started by the Law Enforcement Hall.

Although he was an external member of the guild, his cultivation was high enough to be a Junior Officer. His superior got him a chance by pulling some strings in the inner realm, which guaranteed the merit points Vico needed to grow faster.

Anyway, while the three women were talking about the advantages of being a Law Enforcer, Gloria spotted one of the members of Jembei's faction in the distance.

"They're watching us again." Gloria muttered to her colleagues. "Looks like what happened last week didn't scare them."

After defeating the enemy in the challenge and earning her promotion to Private, Abby had arrested a level 108 member of Jembei's faction for stalking and spying on her comrades.

Obviously, the man didn't stay in jail for long, since he was an internal member of the guild, while she was only an external member. But on that occasion, Abby had used one of her level 110 corpses to show how difficult she was to deal with.

Now that she saw a stronger man than the previous one watching her from a distance, Abby frowned before walking over to the level 110 individual.

It was unusual to find such strong cultivators outside of the guild. So while this guy was watching them, hidden away, few people in this busy area of the city had any idea that he was there.

Abby and her two companions walked up to him, an Intermediate Officer, the blue-haired woman with a defiant smile on her face.

"It's not every day we see an Intermediate Officer in the area." She said loudly, attracting the attention of the many Recruits and Soldiers at the edge of this important street in the outer city.

The alien looked curiously at the blue-haired woman, removed the hood from her head, and stopped hiding.

"Law Enforcer Miller, I'm just passing through, hehe. I didn't expect to meet a rising star like you." He said in an obviously sarcastic tone.

Abby smiled back at him. "I heard Jembei died... He was a good friend of yours, rumor has it."

"It's a shame that such a tragedy happened. The guild will miss someone of Officer Jembei's caliber." The man said seriously while clenching his fists behind his back.

Abby commented in a lower tone, just enough for her two companions and the middle officer in front of her to hear. "I don't know. Maybe the guild will use his power in the future, hehe."

After that, she walked past the wide-eyed man, who glared at her while one of his hands shook.

'Blue bitch! Are you threatening us?' He restrained himself from attacking a Law Enforcer in broad daylight, but he couldn't help but be angry at the possibility that Abby would resurrect Jembei and use the man to fight the faction members after his death.

Unfortunately for him, even though he was an Intermediate Officer, the Law Enforcers were the only ones in the entire guild who didn't follow the natural hierarchy of the organization.

If he moved against Abby there, he would give the woman reason to attack and punish him!

Abby moved on with her companions, while dozens of aliens in the area muttered about the trio's encounter with the Intermediate Officer.

"Did you see that? Am I wrong or did Law Enforcer Miller just intimidate an Intermediate Officer?"

"Shit! I think that's right! She said something that made him angry. Look at his ugly face!"

"Law Enforcer Miller is strong. With her corpses, she can easily deal with someone a few levels stronger than her!"

"This is the beginning of a new era. Minos Stuart has returned to rule the guild!"
