World Online

Myriad Arrows clenched his fists.

"This guy, acting mysteriously like this. I swear to god, when he comes here, I will murder him unless he brings me an absolute haul of epic items or something like that." He murmured.

He laid back by his chair, tapping on the desk in front of him.

If Jake was in the city right now, then it would take him a few minutes to come to the guild headquarters.

And when he did come, the entire guild would definitely be privy to a fight. One between the two highest guild officials.

"Vice Guild Master!"

Suddenly, a woman burst into the room.

"Purple Rain. I told you not to run in like that. Whatever it is, it can wait. I am waiting for someone right now." Myriad Arrows sighed and said.

The last few days, with so many guests coming in, asking about a few specifics, Myriad Arrows was forced to assign the role of a receptionist to someone.

He hired a good looking girl from the applications that he received, and that was Purple Rain.

"But this person, this person is important, Vice Guild Master! It is the guild master! I made sure to double check. It was Shadow King, the guild master!" She exclaimed.

"What? He is here so fast?" Myriad Arrows exclaimed with surprise.

"Here so fast? What do you think, I am a sloth like you?" A haughty voice came from behind Purple Rain.

"Sorry Vice Guild Master. I couldn't stop him. All of the guards listened to him and not me. That can only mean that he is the guild master right?" She said with a worried face.

She was new here, and didn't exactly know Jake, so she was concerned it could be someone else.

But who else in this world could force the guards to let him in?

"Took you long enough." Myriad Arrows took a deep breath.

"Purple Rain. Can you please close the doors and give us some privacy. I have a few things I want to discuss with the guild master." He said as he clenched his fists, cracking his knuckles.

He put a particular emphasis on the word, discuss.

"Ah! It looks like you are a little angry at my late arrival." Jake smiled.

"A little angry?" Myriad Arrows glanced at Jake. There was nothing different about his attire. He was the exact same person who had disappeared a week ago.

Nothing about him changed.

"Well? What did you achieve? You were gone for a week without word. That has to mean something." Myriad Arrows said.

"Come on. Just because I am the guild master, doesn't mean that everything that I do has to be for the guild." Jake shook his head.

"Sometimes, I can take a vacation or two to see if the guild can operate without me." He chuckled.

"Not when you have dozens of deals going on, and everyone wants to speak with you regarding the date when we will all move to start the expeditions!" Myriad Arrows shouted.

"We are late! The promises that we made were wrong. All the guilds left for the expeditions. They went to the far lands trying to find new land, better treasures, and here we are, stuck in the city." He grit his teeth.

"Everyone is asking us why we are late, when we promised them the world. They are even questioning me, if Bright Horizon is even the right leader to this alliance."

Jake clicked his tongue, shaking his head.

"Calm down. Sit down." Jake said as he walked to the window.

Myriad Arrows took a deep breath, shivering with anger. But he calmed himself.

"Tell me then. What is the guild master planning now?"

"Did any of the guilds return? Did any of them actually come back with the wonderful rewards that are rumored to exist within the foreign lands?" Jake asked.

"Well, no. They went out just three days ago. Three guilds, one of them even Aries, went to the lands outside. They are all huge guilds, and they are sure to find something that will give them an edge over us." Myriad Arrows said.

"Three days." Jake frowned.

"I am surprised. The word should have come by now." Jake said.

"Word? Of what?"

"Their utter failure. What else?" Jake chuckled.

"Do you think that going into the unknown lands is some joke? If just about anyone can go in and collect some treasure, then I would have gone in instead of performing that raid. Why all this preparations?" Jake said.

"Why do you think I want everyone to get to the second tier. Because I need everyone to be strong enough to survive the unknown lands. The monsters that we are going to face there, well, they are just way too strong." Jake shook his head.

"You keep telling everyone to get to the second tier. I had to stay here waiting for you, and I couldn't get my tier ascension request. The top brass isn't in the second tier and you expect everyone else to get there?" Myriad Arrows asked.

"Yep. You should get to the second tier. After all, you are a little slow. Looks like I was right, I did get to the second tier earlier than you." Jake smiled faintly.

"Of course I should get to the second tier. Now that you are here I can finally go- wait, what did you say? Did you just tell me you go to the second tier?" Myriad Arrows froze.

"Why else do you think that I was gone for a whole week? Do you think that I am the kind of guy to leave the guild alone for no absolute reason? Now then, you should prepare to enter the second tier, so that we will have more strong powerhouses."
