Anthony’s advice was very to the point.
Dean McKenzie was very tempted!
But Dean McKenzie was still somewhat hesitant. After all, he couldn’t just follow Anthony’s advice without questioning. It would make him seem too easily swayed!
Dean McKenzie felt that he should at least refuse once or twice.
What’s that called?
It’s called being socially savvy!
But Anthony retorted: “To hell with being socially savvy! Let me tell you, you should leave as soon as possible. If it becomes known that you passed the first-turn nightmare mode trial, you won’t be able to leave even if you want to in a short span of time.
You’ll find yourself in a heap of trouble, mark my words!”
Pausing, Anthony slapped Dean on the shoulder and ominously said, “Kid, you surely don’t want to be invited to the lab for a tea and quiz about how you ’ activated the first-turn nightmare mode, do you?”
Although Dean knew that Anthony was merely scaring him, he had to admit that he was genuinely frightened.
Unable to help himself, he nodded.
As soon as Dean nodded, Anthony struck while the iron was hot.
“Alright then, it’s settled. I’ll arrange everything for you. You should leave tonight!”
Straight away, Anthony called several people over for a job transfer.
Using other people’s transfer records, he was able to cover Dean’s transfer record.
After all this was done, as long as Anthony didn’t say anything, the chances of Dean’s nightmare mode job transition being exposed were slim.
But Dean didn’t know that.
He was on tenterhooks, fearing that his special talent might get exposed He even suggested to Anthony: “Anthony, should we demolish the Promotion Temple?”
Ennis Hawkins immediately frowned.
Not to mention whether they could actually do it, if they did, would he have to serve the Professional Alliance for the rest of his life?
“Don’t worry, I’ve got it all sorted. At least for the next two decades, no one will discover your anomaly. However, you have to make an effort, preferably complete the fifth-turn, oh no, the fourth-turn within these two decades. As long as you can become a fourth-turn powerhouse within twenty years, everything will be fine.”
“Fourth-turn?”
Dean was surprised: “Is one considered a powerhouse at the fourth-turn?
Wow, the threshold for being a powerhouse in this world is really low!”
“Pff!”
The naive and ignorant words of Dean made Anthony feel as if he had been shot in the knee, his complexion darkened.
“What’s wrong, Anthony?”
“Nothing, just feeling a bit sorry for not being able to cross such a low threshold in twenty years!”
Anthony said this while kicking Dean’s behind, sending him out of the Trial Temple.
Subsequently, Dean was temporarily stationed with the Spring City Ninth Enforcement Team. Meanwhile, Anthony got busy with his other tasks.
When Dean saw Anthony again, it was already past nine o’clock at night. Upon returning, Anthony handed Dean a golden card: “Everything’s arranged take this card!” ”
“What is this?”
“This is the gold membership card of the Skywind Commerce Guild. I got it using my connection with the branch president. With this, you’re now a gold member of the Skywind Commerce Guild.
By chance, they have a trade team heading back to Thorn Oak City tonight. Later, bring this card and meet them at the East City Gate to leave together. Their guild’s guard unit commander is an 8oth level third-turn peak Storm Swordsman. With him protecting you, and with the backing of their guild, your safety on the road can be assured.”
Looking at the golden card and listening to Anthony’s arrangements, Dean hesitated again.
“Anthony, why are you in such a hurry to make me leave? Is anything wrong?
If there’s anything, tell me. If I can help, I definitely will!”
Dean patted his chest, indicating that he wasn’t an ungrateful person.
Anthony, however, smirked: “What could possibly go wrong?
Even if anything goes wrong, what’s it got to do with you, a greenhorn at the first-turn?
Don’t think too much. I just don’t want to see you idle away in this city.
So are you leaving? If not, I’m going to see you off to the underworld!”
“I’m leaving! Of course I am!”
In the end, Dean took the card from Anthony.
After receiving Anthony’s instructions for about twenty minutes, Anthony took
Dean to meet the people from the Skywind Commerce Guild.
With Anthony’s introduction, the Skywind Commerce Guild was incredibly hospitable to Dean.
Not only did they allow Dean to join the departing team for the night, they even arranged a special carriage for him.
Shortly after, under Ennis Hawkins’ watchful eye, Dean left Spring City.
“So you just let him go like this?”
After watching Dean leave, the president of the Spring City Professional Alliance branch, Anson Harris, appeared next to Ennis, watching Dean depart alongside him.
Having him leave just like this, you’re going to have a lot of trouble. Since he could help, why not tell him to give it a try?”
“There’s no need to say anything!”
The branch president was taken aback and then said: “Indeed, the kid is a bit timid and fearful of death and the task is indeed very dangerous. But how can you be sure he won’t be willing to help you without giving it a try?”
“No, when I said there’s no need to try, it’s not because I think he wouldn’t help me even if I told him.
In fact, if I just say it, he’d definitely help.
But!”
Anthony paused at this point, turned his head towards the branch president and solemnly said: “I don’t want to!
I’m helping him because I want to, not because I’m expecting him to help me with something.”
Then why are you in such a hurry to send him off?”
“I don’t want my help to become his burden!”
With Anthony’s explanation, the branch president immediately understood his intention.
If he didn’t send Dean away now, then no matter people’s intentions, someone will inevitably tell Dean about Ennis’ predicament through various means.
Even if Ennis could prevent those reminders from reaching Dean, once the matter unfolds, informed parties will inevitably blame Dean.
They’d say Dean was ungrateful and apathetic, putting Dean in a morally condemnable position.
So Ennis sent Dean away while he was still in the dark. That way, even if something happens to him later, it would have nothing to do with Dean.
Once he understood why Ennis was in such a hurry to send Dean away, Anson shook his head: “Why do you always do this?
Piling all the troubles onto yourself.
Don’t you feel tired living like this?
Besides, what benefits does it bring you? Do you believe that he isn’t even aware of what you’ve done for him?
And he might even forget you in two or three years. Is it really worth it?”
“Worth it?”
Ennis grinned at Anson: “I do all this because I want to, not because of him recognizing it or it being worth it.. What matters to me is that I want to!”
