980 Resolving The Annoyance – Part Guild Master Rodin and Mayor Celap called everyone to the Guild Master’s room. Mona, the female attendant, Captain Vina, Russo, and Tang Shaoyang’s party, cramping in the room. Tang Shaoyang and Liang Suyin sat on the couch with everyone else standing behind them. Mayor Celap and Guild Master Rodin sat across from them, listening to what Mona elaborated on what happened on the first floor.

The Mayor and the Guild Master stared at Russo and Captain Vina. The captain lowered her head while Russo stared back at Rodin and Celap. Both were visibly annoyed with this incident, but both maintained their composure.

“Hah…” Guild Master Rodin let out a sigh and waved his hand toward Mona, “Good job, Mona. You can leave now.”

Mona bowed and left the room.

“I apologize on behalf of my subordinate and the adventurer under my guild, Sir Tang. I never thought they would be brazenly against my order like this,” Guild Master Rodin stood up and bowed his head toward Tang Shaoyang.

“I am very sorry for delaying your quest. I will take care of the issue and promise you this will never happen again, Sir.”

“What if they do it again? The last time you said, she was good-hearted inside, yet she still obstructed us despite your order. I don’t trust you anymore for what happened,” Tang Shaoyang glanced toward the mayor, “You should know why we came to this tower, right? We are on a timer, and we want to finish our mission as quickly as possible. The fact you set up the guild, everyone in this room should know why we, the travelers, tried to take as many quests as possible, right? I don’t understand why these people tried to hinder us?”

“I am not trying to hinder you all from completing the quest. We have our own rules. If you follow the rules, then there’s no reason for us to hinder you all,” Russo responded snarly.

“What part of you don’t understand that we are on a timer?” Liang Suyin shook her head. She was, in fact, tired of speaking to obstinate Russo. The man refused to listen to the order and reasons, “The reason the guild limits the quest for the party or individual adventurer is that it could be dangerous if they fail to complete the quest, but the chance we fail the quest is zero. Your guild leader should be aware of that. That’s why he allows us to take as many quests as we want.”

.....

Everyone in the room aside from Russo already knew Rodin had used [Detection] on Tang Shaoyang, but the others did not know or even tried to use the [Detection] under the Guild Master’s order. The others focused on Rodin after hearing that, including Russo. Captain Vina was the most curious one. She wanted to know how strong the man was for the Guild Master willing to break the rules.

“Also, why are you all becoming a busybody for this matter? Why don’t you two sweep the quests on the board before? The reason all the quests remain unfinished is that no one wants to take them, yet you all are causing trouble when we take the quest? Isn’t it better for us to clear all the quests?” Goldien could not hold his tongue back and spoke what was in his mind.

In the beastmen’s mind, since these adventurers did not want to take the quests, why did these people trouble them when they took the quest? He did not understand the intricacy behind the issue. What was these people’s problem with them?

“My role is to enforce the guild’s rules. You and your party don’t follow the rules,” Captain Vina replied without hesitation. She was doing her job regardless of Goldien and the party’s identity, and she still believed she was on the right side.

Tang Shaoyang raised his hand, stopping the beastmen from continuing the meaningless conversation. He met with the Guild Master’s eyes, “You haven’t answered our question yet, Guild Master Rodin. What if the same incident happens again?”

The focus returned to the Guild Master, pressuring the supposed strongest adventurer in the town. The silence lasted for another minute, and Tang Shaoyang did not wait for the man to answer the question, “Since you can’t answer us, then we will deal with it as we see fit. Is there anything you want to speak with us about, Guild Master? Mayor Celap? If there’s nothing else, we will depart to complete the quest.”

“I will ensure that the same incident will never happen again, Sir Tang. So there’s no need for you to take any action,” Guild Master Rodin managed to squish a smile while shaking his head. There was nothing to talk about between them in the first place. The incident started with his people and Russo.

Tang Shaoyang did not say anything or even a gesture to Guild Master Rodin’s statement. The party left the room, leaving Guild Master Rodin, Mayor Celap, Captain Vina, and Russo, “Sit!” Guild Master Rodin gestured to Russo and Vina to sit in front of him.

He was about to say something, but someone knocked on the door, “It’s me, Harold!”

“Come in.”

The Gold Rank Adventurer entered the room, giving a glance at Vina and Russo before looking back at the Guild Master, “I am here to report the injured Guild Master. Seven Adventurers are injured; three of them are still unconscious, but nothing serious. Giving them a healing potion and a few days of rest should be enough for them to recover. I concluded from the injuries that the beastmen did not try to kill them, Guild Master.”

“Thank you for the work, Harold. You can leave now,” The tensed Guild Master was visibly relieved upon hearing the report. The report meant one thing, the travelers were not hostile toward the adventurers, or else the beastmen would inflict fatal injuries. The travelers had the reason to do so, they had the justification for doing so, but the travelers held back. Even if the beastmen tried to kill the adventurers, he could not say anything as it was self-defense.

After Harold left the room, Guild Master Rodin stopped holding back. Rodin released the Epic Rank’s aura, filling the room with his aura. He focused the aura on Vina and Russo before he started to lash out, venting out his anger, scolding them again and again. He wanted to ensure that Russo and Vina remembered not to mess with the travelers.
