"Diabel! Diabel! this is bad the monster is here and he wants to talk to you!" Kibaou was shouting and running towards Diabel's room.
Diabel who was eating his breakfast freaked out hearing Red was finding him and immediately stood up and made his way towards Red.
Inside the Guardian's hall
Red was seated on the leaders chair while Alice was sitting on his lap swaying her tiny legs back and forth.
Hurried footsteps could be heard coming from inside the hall, a few moments later Diabel finally arrived with the upper echelons of the guild closely behind him.
Diabel smiled seeing Red and approached him humbly "Welcome to our guild Mr. Red, may I know what business you have with our guild?"
Red glanced at Diabel's guild members then focused his attention at him "Nothing really, I heard that you have managed to acquire a rare shield recently."
Diabel sweated hearing this and replied "What you've heard was correct Mr. Red, we recently obtained a shield after slaying an area boss."

Alice and the others frowned hearing that they have managed to get the shield through killing a boss, they didn't correct him because Red clearly told them not to interfere so they just kept quiet.
Red nodded and asked "Is that so? may I know who is the one that led the group to slay this 'boss'. "
Diabel was clueless and immediately pointed at a player behind him.
He was a young adult player maybe 20-24 years of age, as soon as Diabel pointed him, he began to sweat heavily and was clearly shaking.
Red smiled widely seeing the culprit and clapped his hand slowy "*clap!*clap!*clap!* may I know what your name is?"
The suspect then walked forward shakily and surprisingly he broke down and shouted trying to defend himself "It wasn't me! it was Vice-leader Holler, he was the one who wanted that shield! he was the one told me to rob it from that player" He said while pointing at Liam.
Red laughed loudly hearing the player breaking down "Hahahaha, I haven't done anything yet and you already ratted out the culprit"
The culprit seeing that he was the one they were after tried to escape but sadly for him Asuna and Chris were already on high alert and immediately prevented him from escaping.
"Let me go! why are you doing this?" Holler asked
Red looked at Holler and replied "Why am I doing this? Hmmmm, let me think maybe because I just felt like it?"
Holler couldn't believe what he heard and shouted in anger "You're being unreasonable! this death game isn't for the weak, if they can't even keep their own items safe how can they even survive in this game?
Red nodded indicating that he understood what Holler said "You're right this is a game where the strong prey on the weak and that is exactly what I am doing right now." he then stepped on Holler's face and looked at Diabel.
"Well well, Guild leader Diabel looks like you have some feisty little members under you."
Diabel really didn't know what to say, to think that his vice-leader will stoop so low as to steal someone's shield from them. he knew that he would've to compensate Red properly in order not to implicate the guild so he clenched his teeth and asked.
"How much do you want as compensation Mr. Red?"
Red grinned hearing this and replied "You must return Liam's shield plus Holler's equipment must be given to Liam and 10,000 Cors"
Diabel gulped and thought (Giving the shield and equipment isn't a problem but 10,000 Cors? that is a huge sum of money we only have 24,000 Cors because we managed to defeat the floor boss and now he is asking almost half of our wealth)
Red looked at Diabel who was still thinking and asked with a smile "Is there any problem Diabel? even though I can't kill a player I can still make their life miserable right?"
Diabel couldn't do anything but nod in agreement "As you wish Mr. Red we will compensate all those things that you've said earlier."
He then made Holler take off his equipment's and gave it to Red along with the 10,000 Cors.
After getting what he wanted Red stood up and unleashed his conqueror's haki at every member of the guild making them kneel.
"This is just a friendly reminder, hope you don't cross path's with me ever again or else you won't like what will happen to you so If you ever think of plotting any revenge I suggest you drop that idea for your own good." Red said while exiting the hall with his group.
Outside of the Guardian's base.
"Woooh! You are so cool big bro handsome!" Alice couldn't contain her excitement anymore and burst out.
Liam and Asuna was also amazed seeing Red's show of strength and couldn't help but shudder remembering all those kneeling players.
Chris already saw Red's strength so he wasn't so surprised like the others.
"Here take it, that is yours now do take care of it." Red said while sending Liam all of Holler's equipment.
Liam didn't know what to say and just bowed Red thanking him for everything he has done.
"So big bro handsome where to now?" Alice said while clinging on Red's shoulder.
Red thought for a moment then asked Liam "What level are you?"
"I am level 21 while Alice is level 15" Liam said while looking at Red expectantly hoping for something to happen that will change their future.
Red nodded and said "That's good, from now on you will be part of my party and Alice will just be Alice and can only join us if we are not doing something dangerous."
Liam trembled in excitement and for the first time smiled "Thank you so much Leader! I will not let you down!"
Red ignored Liam and looked at the pouting Alice in his arms "What's the matter little girl?"
Alice pouted even more then snorted "Hmp! even though I'm only little I can still fight along side you guys so make me part of your group."
Red laughed and ruffled the little girls hair "You know I can't do that, you can just tag along if we level up normally but if we encounter any boss or problem then you will immediately bail out and I won't accept a negative response."
Red then started walking while Alice was shocked seeing Red being so unreasonable so she started throwing a tantrum while being carried by Red.
