Chapter 220: Press meet

After finishing her business at the East Ocean city, the mysterious lady entered the teleportation formation and clicked on the Reverie Kingdom, then capital city.

Exiting the temple at Reverie city, she sent a message to someone while removing the Mask.

Snow Princess: Baby, You still haven't finished yet?

She quickly received the reply from her boyfriend.

Crimson Sun: No, I'm done with the inheritance quest, a while ago. I'm on my way to the Tower of Destiny.

Snow Princess: You found out the location? Where?

Crimson Sun: Well, I'm not sure about that. I have to verify the location by myself. It's in the waters of the North Grennola Ocean. These are the coordinates…

Snow Princess (Sierra) quickly sent a message to someone else and waited for a reply.

Dizzy: Got it. I'll inform the boss. There are no further orders for you. So, you may relax and enjoy the game.

Snow Princess: if the news turns out to be true, will I really become the main member?

Dizzy: As I have said before, our Tojo clan has considerable influence in the secret order. An elder of the organization will not only promote you to the main member but you will also receive the Elite training. Just wait until you get the news.

Snow Princess: Got it.

Closing the message tab, Sierra clenched her fist while a frustrated look appeared on her face. "Why does it have to come to this… Why of all people, you have to find out its location, Bran…"

In the end, she sighed, "I hope you will understand me once I explain everything."

Scarlet Apartments, Leafway city;

Wil returned to his home and saw the door was replaced by a new one. Unlike the last one, it only has a biometric lock instead of an electronic lock with a pin. 

Even on the inside, the manual lock was removed. It was done so that it would become easy for Silver to enter the apartment without breaking it in case an incident like this happens again.

As for safety, hidden cameras were also installed on the door, so, that Wil can see the outside view on his laptop.

Meanwhile, Silver shifted to the eighth floor of the building, two floors below Wil's apartment. Not trusting Aster with Wil's life anymore, he decided to leave Ares city to live near Wil.

"Eh? Aster was removed?" Wil was shocked to hear Silver fired Aster for not taking care of him. It wasn't his fault and it's not like he can do anything anyway.

Silver then explained, "Don't misunderstand, Young Master. He was relieved of his duties only as your personal bodyguard as well as the secretary of the Apartments.

I can understand if he's busy doing his other duties following your orders is one But, still, Lord Philip appointed him as your bodyguard and the secretary of this Apartments.

He failed in both of them.

Why?

Because he was busy in the game.

So, I thought he can't handle everything.

But no matter, he's still the director of SGC as well as the manager of our company's Leafway city branch. And also, he's still your Vice leader. Nothing will change…"

Upon hearing his explanation, Wil fell silent. At first, he thought of refuting Silver but then after repeating his words again, Wil realized it was probably for best.

After all, he still hasn't forgotten how Aster tried to fool him by participating in Silver's scheme back at Hailey city. He can't trust his life in Aster's hands.

'Either way, I don't need Aster's real-life protection. There are enough bodyguards around me.'

Putting that thought away, he then asked, "Silver, how are our boys doing?"

Silver's eyes lit up as soon as he heard the question. He explained, "Right now, we have around 325 members of our Vulture group living in this city.

In just three days, they successfully co-operated with the police and apprehended many criminals, and solved many cases. They aren't comfortable with that and are requesting me to relieve them of such tasks. What should I do?"

"325?" Wil interrupted with a frown. "If I remember correctly, shouldn't there be 645?"

"The remaining 320 are currently hiding in different identities just in case. Most of them are currently working as street vendors, security in apartments, etc…'" Silver cleared his doubt. "This is unfamiliar territory. It never hurts to be careful. Moreover, if we have too many people, the Federation will also think we are up to something."

*Slap* Wil slapped his own forehead, "What have you done. I don't have any intention to take control over the city. I just wanted an extra army in War Online…"

"Game?" Silver was taken aback. "Didn't we set up SGC in 20 different cities for that? We even transferred a total of 1726 members to those branches."

Silver was indeed confused by Wil's words.

"I know." Wil nodded in response, "But, I can't waste those numbers for nothing… Sigh… Since you have already done that, then, let's forget about those 320 and purchase Summersoft capsules for the ones that are currently living officially. Let them join as the staff of SS.

Talk with the City Police commissioner and tell him not to bother our boys unless they are in a dire situation and have no other choice but to ask us for help.

And what about our gamers at SGC?"

Silver answered, "All of them have already migrated to Llyne city. As for those who are still in newbie villages, instructions have already been passed to them. They'll choose Eldershore city.

No one has chosen the guild. I was wondering if you are planning to incorporate them into the Scarlet guild or intending to make another one."

"What do you think?" Wil asked in return to test his ability. He wanted to know whether Silver can lead a gaming guild or not.

And Silver didn't disappoint him either.

"There are problems with either of the options. 

The first one is inviting them into the Scarlet guild is the same as exposing your identity to the public. If you do that, it is the same as inviting hostile parties, well, not that we care about it though.

But, as far as I understand, you don't wish to expose Time Traveler's identity to Dexter's son and granddaughter. That's why, back then, you lied to them, didn't you?"

Wil nodded in response.

Silver then continued, "And if you will make another guild, it will create an impression that you are not Scarlet group's young master. It will make a lot of guilds that are unhappy with your actions or achievements, fight together against you."

"So, what do you suggest to resolve these issues?" Wil asked him.

"In case you don't know, we still haven't launched SGC officially yet. I mean, to the media. We'll make a press meet and talk about acquiring Heibei Corporation and shares of the start-up company, Ace as well as acquiring Starsun Entertainment.

You can then announce SGC acquiring the 50% shares of Scarlet and Silvershapers Guilds too.

That way, you can create a false identity for Time Traveler. You just need to keep his identity secret when you were asked.

Publicity will not only improve the company's image but will also let Williard Ravens detach from the Scarlet guild and Time Traveler will gain Scarlet group's backing."

Wil was stunned, listening to the explanation. All he was planned to make a secret guild and set up at Athledon. He clearly didn't think too far.

Now, he knew how to handle the situation.
