Destroying My Own Novel

Asmond was shocked because he never knew that the Mykel he knew was totally different from what he saw right now. He could see that Mykel was furious by the look in his eyes, and the reason why was the woman who sat next to him. He understood because the moment he looked at Jeanne, he might be saying the same thing if something bad happened to her.

“That’s enough, Handrick, it’s already in the past and we are here so we can work together and put aside of everything for now. The guilt is still lingering on my shoulder so please don’t make a scene because you’re really trying to make things worse for us,” Kastor said as he glared at Handrick with a bit of annoyance.

“Let’s hear what do you want to propose, President Kastor, we don’t have much time because we still have to train our new recruits,” Lyneth said as she looked at the documents in Kastor’s hands.

Kastor nodded and then he passed the documents to Lyneth and Mykel.

“That’s the proposal we want to make, the point of the documents is that we are thinking of helping each other with clearing the towers. I know it’s really not the case because we are basically asking for your help, but after what we have been through, we can’t do this on our own,” Kastor explained with a bit of worry in his voice.

“It says here that you want us to make a joint to clear the towers once a week, and we can have 80% of the loots during the attempts, is that correct?” Lyneth asked as she read the documents.

“Yes, we believe with your help we can achieve our goal to clear the 15th floor of each tower before the third breakout happens, so in return, we will give you the most profit from the attempts,” Kastor answered.

“I see, but unfortunately we have to decline for this one,” Lyneth answered as she looked at Kastor.

Kastor looked a bit disappointed. “Can I ask you the reason? We can try to make it 90% if President Lyneth wants to,” he replied with desperation in his voice.

“That isn’t the case, we don’t need the profit and we can share the loot equally because we already have another source of income. So, if you can agree with it, we can continue to the next point,” Lyneth answered as she looked at the document.

“Another source of income?” Kastor asked with confusion.

Lyneth looked at Mykel and nodded her head.

“Asmond, catch,” Mykel said as he threw a scroll at him.

They were looking at the scroll with confusion while Asmond opened the scroll. “What?! Is this?!” he said with a shocked expression that made Kastor and the others curious about it.

Mykel smirked and nodded. “Yes, that’s a skill scroll and it will instantly be added to your skill tab once you use it. Let’s just say it’s a gift from me for doing your best in the breakout, you were amazing,” he answered with a gentle smile on his face.

“What’s this? Are you trying to take him away from us? Is that what it is? Is this your ulterior motive?” Darnell asked as he crossed his arms and stared at Mykel.

“Don’t get me wrong, I’m doing this because Asmond is someone I know and he’s a good kid. He’s also Jeanne’s childhood friend, so of course, I will reward him for what he has achieved. I’m being kind only to him so don’t even try to beg to get your hand on the scroll,” Mykel answered.

Kastor and Caesar stared at Mykel and started to feel a bit suspicious and worried about it.

“Are the President and the Co-Founder of the Fraternity think that we are going to do something so low like that?” Lyneth asked as she stared at them from the corner of her eyes. “We are not the ones who tried to kidnap a person to gain a personal interest,” she continued.

Both of them cleared their throat and stopped looking at Mykel. Mykel smirked and then looked at Gunnar. “I think you should use that gauntlet to heal Caesar’s injuries,” he said as he tilted his head toward Caesar.

Gunnar raised his eyebrows and then nodded his head. “Got it, boss,”

Gunnar walked toward Caesar and Enma immediately blocked his path and glared up at him. “What are you trying to do?”

“Let him past, Enma,” Caesar said because he felt a bit guilty for thinking they had ulterior motives.

Enma turned around and hesitated but Caesar stared at her with a smile on his face. Enma sighed and nodded with understanding then walked away.

Gunnar asked for Caesar’s hand, he grabbed Caesar’s hand with his gauntlet. Caesar felt something cold all over his body, and it moved to his face, he felt like he was being blown by a cold breeze that made him feel comfortable.

“It’s done, boss,” Gunnar said as he walked away.

“Open your mask,” Mykel said as he stared at Caesar.

Caesar slowly opened his mask, Kastor and Enma were shocked by what they were seeing. Caesar looked at everyone and they were making the same expression, he then decided to walk to the glass wall to look at his own face.

“My face!” Caesar yelled with disbelief. “My back! My arms! My legs! Everything is healed?!” He said with excitement as he checked his whole body that had fully recovered.

Lillith also couldn’t believe it at first when Mykel said that he could heal her wound. Mykel managed to convince her and healed the injuries on her face, but she decided to keep using the mask because it had become a part of her body.

“So? Can we continue, President Kastor?” Lyneth asked while kept reading the documents.

Kastor cleared his throat and hid his happiness. “Yes, we should,”

Lyneth kept declining all the offers in the documents by gaining nothing but giving everything to the Fraternity. It wasn’t about making a profit but it was to send them a message that the Guild Association was way superior to the Fraternity. In the end, Kastor and the others were defeated in the meeting and they couldn’t help but show their respect to the Guild Association whether they like it or not.

“Is there anything else that you want to propose, President Kastor?” Lyneth said as she gave the documents back to Kastor so he could revise the proposal.

“We don’t have anything else to say because you have given us everything that we need, thank you, President Lyneth for accepting our proposal,” Kastor said with a smile on his face.

“Alright, since we are done here, we are going to take our leave and just tell Erica once you are done with the revised proposal so I can sign on it,” Lyneth said as she stood up.

“Will do,” Kastor replied as they saw Lyneth and Mykel leave the meeting room.

Kastor could finally breathe with ease as he rubbed his face with disbelief. “I can’t believe that they really going to accept the proposal. Not to mention they didn’t want anything back from us,” he said as he stared at the ceiling and chuckled with disbelief.

“You have done a great job, Kastor, I’m so proud of you,” Gustav said with a smile on his face.

“Are you really think that they don’t have ulterior motives toward us, Kastor? I don’t want to believe they agreed with the terms without taking a single profit,” Handrick said as he stared at Kastor.

“I also thought they have ulterior motives behind the reason why they agreed to the proposal, but after observing Lyneth and Mykel, they both despised us and you guys could see in their eyes. So, if they do have ulterior motives behind this agreement, they won’t be making such an impression on us, and I believe they have a reason for this, and I believe they do it because they had to,” Kastor explained as he sat straight and looked at them.

Caesar nodded in agreement. “I thought so too and I believe in Kastor’s words,”

“Jeanne!” Asmond said as he ran toward them.

They all turned around and looked at him while Jeanne walked toward him.

“Are you sure they’re just childhood friends? It seems that he likes her,” Agnez said as she looked at Asmond.

“Does it matter?” Mykel replied as he walked toward Jeanne and Asmond.

“How long has it been since the last time I saw you?” Mykel asked as he walked toward them.

“Mykel! I believe it has been at least seven months now,” Asmond answered with a huge smile on his face.

“Seven months? Time sure flies by really fast,” Mykel said as he smiled. “Look at you, the moment you became an Awakener you already show what you’re capable of. I told you didn’t I? Don’t stop believing,” he continued as he patted Asmond’s shoulder.

“Yeah, I need to become stronger so I can protect everyone,” Asmond replied with a serious expression.

“I’m glad that you have made your own path, Asmond, and not to mention you can finally fight side by side with Jeanne in the tower soon,” Mykel said as he looked at both of them. “Well then, since the two of you haven’t seen in a while, why don’t you guys spend your time together?” he asked as he looked at Jeanne.

“I will leave that for later, right now I have Nagy that I need to train in the tower,” Jeanne answered.

“Yeah, let’s hang out later because I’m also quite busy right now,” Asmond said.

“Alright, we will see you soon then,” Mykel said as he walked back with Jeanne walking next to him.

Asmond watched Mykel and Jeanne stared at each other with big smiles on their face. Mykel rubbed Jeanne’s head and somehow it gave sting on Asmond’s chest because they both seemed close than he thought.
