Chapter 987: CHAPTER 956 THE FIGHT FOR THE POSITION
Little Fatty even wanted to take off his helmet and have everyone know his true identity but knowing that this would make his friend angry at him, he could only silently felt proud of himself.
He and Little Snow even dares to take mission from the guild by themselves, of course, they only take the lowest class of mission, the F class but with their age, it is already considered amazing.
Shadowslash stood up and without hesitation started eating the food, he hadn’t taken off his mask but everyone wasn’t offended, they know that this was just his personality, they watch him ate a meal that could feed twelve grown men shocking them.
What made them more speechless is the fact that they hadn’t seen his stomach grow, he looks like a bottomless pit when he is eating, even Little Fatty and Little Snow were shocked but they quickly recovered.
They already see him as their idol, besides, this surprise cannot compare to the surprise he had given them when he fought with the demon.
Shadowslash who had finished eating thanked everyone for the meal and decided to go to the guild, since he had accomplished such a great feat, requesting to rank up in class wouldn’t be too overboard.
When he got there, he was immediately greeted with a loud cheer, the mercenaries started chanting a title that they had given to him.
.....
Little Mercenary King! Little Mercenary King! Little Mercenary King!
The so called mercenary king is a person that is considered a true mercenary on his entire life and had achieved Platinum Rank, because mercenary kings are people that have been fighting throughout their life as mercenaries, their combat prowess is greater compared to those of the same rank.
The two elven sisters who were drinking quickly stood up and throw themselves to him, they didn’t know that such action could be seen as weakness but even if they do, they wouldn’t care.
During that dire situation, all they could sense was hopelessness, Shadowslash bravely fought against an adversity that is greater than any of them and manage to save them by buying some time for the city lord to arrive.
Without him, they would have died, hugging him tightly, they felt grateful for what he had done.
Letting him go, the naughty twin proudly said “After that perverted vice guild master left the ogre, we fought with it and manage to defeat it with the help of General Leonard.”
Shadowslash patted her head, their height difference is actually great but with his action, the naughty twin actually instinctively lowers her head and let him rubs it.
She was quickly stunned and became shy, she hid behind her twin sister and complains with a blushing expression “How dare you brat treat me like a little girl? I am older than you!”
Shadowslash just let’s out a laugh and didn’t mind her complaint, seeing this, the naughty twin couldn’t help but grumble.
He went to Cassandra and said “Miss Cassandra, I am here to seek the guild master, I have something to ask of him.”
Cassandra hesitated, she sighed and explains “I am sorry but my father- I mean the guild master have been in a bad mood lately, meeting him at this current time would be quite unfortunate.”
Shadowslash frowns but after recalling the reaction of the vice guild master during the battle, he could understand.
“Perhaps I could solve this guild’s problem, why don’t you bring me to him and I guarantee that I would ease off his problem.”
Cassandra doubted this but upon recalling his deeds, he didn’t ignore his request, the two of them went into the second floor, there Shadowslash saw numerous rooms.
Cassandra started introducing them “These are the rooms built by the city to accommodate the guild masters, there is a kitchen, a bathroom, a dining room and a living room.”
It seems like other than the lower floor is intended to receive request and be the main function of the guild, the middle floor is used as a living quarter for the guild master and his family, the upper floor should be the guild master’s study room.
Cassandra knocks on the door but no one answered, she looks at Shadowslash and seeing him that he is intent on entering, she could only sigh and opens the room with the spare key her dad have given her.
Bang! With a loud sound, the silent and peaceful world was shattered, it seems that the room has the ability to prevent the sound from coming out, not letting anyone hear what is going on inside.
“What the hell were you doing during the raid?! The entire guild is now talking about your cowardice, you are even surpassed by a mere child that isn’t even a ranker!”
“I have tolerated you for so long because you are my brother-in-law but because of your action, I deemed that you are unfit to be the vice guild master of this guild.”
Shadowslash was listening silently, he then asks Cassandra in a quiet voice “How come they are only talking about the situation from that battle today?”
“It had been a month after the battle.”
“My uncle have been recuperating because of this, my father didn’t want to impede his recovery but we recently discovered that he had actually recovered a week ago and was only faking hid injury ti avoid my father’s wrath.”
Shadowslash nodded, he then confidently walks towards the raging guild master, upon seeing this, Cassandra was shocked, his sudden arrival have also shocked the two.
The guild master stood up and approached him “You must be the kid that had keep the demon at bay, thank you for not ruining the face of this guild.”
“At least you have some courage, unlike some people.”
When he said this, he glares at the vice guild master, Shadowslash knows what he is feeling and said “Are you now having trouble of keeping the guild stable after the death of numerous mercenaries?”
The guild master was stunned but he quickly became depressed “Yes, after the disgraceful performance of my idiotic brother-in-law, the mercenaries started feeling distrustful to our guild.”
Shadowslash nodded, he then looks at the vice guild master whom was also looking at him but with hatred “Looking at his appearance and from the rumors I have heard when I met him on that battlefield, even without knowing during this past month, I could already guess that all of his past misdeed have been dug.”
The three people inside the room were stunned but none of them denied it, Shadowslash added “Guild master this isn’t good for the guild, if you don’t dismiss this instant, not only would the mercenaries feel distrustful and disgusted by you but so would the people of this city.”
Cassandra agreed to his words, meanwhile, the guild master started hesitating, the vice guild master knows that he cannot afford to lose this job, he quickly kneels and beg for forgiveness to his brother-in-law.
Shadowslash shook his head “You should know that he wouldn’t only affect you and the guild but also your daughter, think about what would others think when they relate him to her.”
The guild master flares up, just as he was about to grab him, he sense a sensation of danger, he stops and looks at Shadowslash eyes, even though he wasn’t leaking killing intent, his eyes suggest another intention.
Taking a deep breath, the guild master smugly said “I might not believe my idiotic brother-in-law but I believe on my daughter, she is the pearl of my life, everyone in the guilds likes and adores her.”
Shadowslash shook his head “This is exactly why her reputation would certainly take a hit, she is great but because of this, there are many women that are jealous of her, especially nobilities, since other than being a beauty and a well known person, she is also a spirit master.”
“If those nobles spread rumors that you have used your authority to give your daughter the position she has now, she would certainly be looked down by those from other cities.”
The guild master snorted “So what, at least the people of this city knows the truth.”
“So I take that you wish to confine a person with more potential than you in this city all through her life?”
Cassandra quickly spoke “I don’t mind, I am not a great fighter, also I don’t have a mentality just like my father, I am content to my current life.”
Shadowslash looks at her intensely, she wasn’t fazed, he then asks her “Are you content on being just being a clerk of this city, you would become none better than a frog in a well.”
She grips her fist tightly, actually she also wanted to travel but because of her weak strength, she could only work at the guild as a clerk, helping her dad.
Shadowslash shook his head “If you continue being this weak, then, the next time an invasion just like last month once again happen, no one would be able to protect you.”
