Chapter 1069 Skelly Family In Action - Part 7
"As if the Holy Kingdom and the Varuman Empire wanted to work together with us. Anything else, we will work together with Karigan Family and Mistovel Family and compete with the motherf*ckers from the kingdom and empire." Roman spat on the ground. The man did not hesitate to show his disgust for the kingdom and the empire. From how he reacted, it was obvious Roman had a bad history against the two factions.
"While I don't share the same sentiment with Roman, I do agree that the Holy Kingdom and the Varuman Empire will not work together with us. Especially when the Guild Master is not here to talk with them." Eril was also pessimistic about the idea of working together with the empire and the kingdom. Those two factions despised the adventurer guild, so they would not help the guild. Unless The Karian was in danger, they would never work together with the guild.
"What do you think, Sir Ying? Can you really beat two Ancient Ranks and one Myth Rank?" She knew the question was absurd, but she had an expectation from the man.
"What gets into your head, Eril? There's no way he can win against a Myth Rank." Damian was the first one to voice his doubt. "While we can't do anything with the Holy Kingdom, Eril and I are from the empire. We can persuade the empire to work together with us, and we will share the garden's yield with them."
Eril ignored Damian, looking straight at Ying. Even though she did not know Ying's background, there must be something special for the Guild Master to help.
Ying smiled. "Do you want to hear an honest reply or a realistic reply?"
Eril frowned. "What do you…. No, I want to hear both answers."
"I can't win against Myth Rank and two Ancient Ranks; that's the realistic answer. As for my honest answer, I can beat them all. Not just the two Ancient Ranks and the Myth Rank; even if a hundred of them come at me, I can beat them." Tang Shaoyang sounded arrogant, but that was the truth.
If the strongest were Myth Rank and two Ancient Ranks, it should not be an issue for him. He killed one Primordial Rank Executioner Knight and fourteen Myth Rank Executioner Knights of the Divine Church with ease, not using Wrath, the talent, and the Golden Dragon.
Eril then glanced at Roman and Lulu. Both seemed to know Sir Ying before her, so she tried to see their reactions. She was surprised to see that both seemed to believe Sir Ying. This put her into a dilemma for some reason, as she wanted to trust the person that the Guild Master trusted. She was considering the option of involving the other factions or gambling it with Ying.
Ding!
The notification from the communication rang in her head. Eril subconsciously checked the message and saw it was a message from Guild Master. She raised her right hand. "Wait a moment." Then she checked the message.
[Agree with the Virandal Empire's proposition! This is good to see how strong Ying is. I don't care if we really lose the resource.]
Eril subconsciously looked around, trying to spot Guild Master. She thought Guild Master Gortham was leaving this morning, but based on the message, the Guild Master must have listened to her conversation with the Virandal Empire's representatives. She could not find Guild Master Gortham, but the message saved her from the dilemma.
"Then let's do it." With Guild Master Gortham's message, the responsibility fell on the Guild Master, not her. That left him at ease for taking the risk.
"What!?" Damian had an extreme reaction as he pointed his finger at Ying. He wanted to say something, but Lulu stopped him. "Eril is the leader for this assignment, and we must listen to her decision, or you can step back from the mission. No, if you can put aside your difference with Ying, then you must not join the mission. You will be our weakness in the mission."
Lulu was afraid that Damian could not control his emotion and attacked Ying from the back. The scariest thing was not a strong opponent but an ally that could pull you down. The hot-tempered Damian might do that, and it would be best if they did not bring Damian with that kind of risk.
Eril considered Lulu's suggestion seriously as she glanced at Damian. "If you can't put your difference, then I might leave you out of the party. So, Damian! Can you work together with Sir Ying?"
Damian gritted his teeth as he could not believe that the three of them sided with the person they had just met. He looked at Ying, who had a calm expression, seemingly not affected by the situation. He looked away from Ying, closed his eyes, and took a deep breath. "I will do my best to work together with Ying."
"That's the answer I want." Eril nodded. "Then I will speak to the Virandal Empire's representatives."
Eril left the group, heading toward another group. Meanwhile, Lulu cast a weird glance at Damian. "I don't understand what makes you dislike Ying so much to this extent. It will be too petty if you dislike Ying because he was late." The ash-pink-haired girl shook her head and turned around, following Ying, leaving Roman and Damian.
Roman approached Damian and tapped the frustrated man's back. "I know you see Ying as a threat because Eril pays more attention to him. However, if you keep acting like this, you will just draw Eril's ire. You are setting yourself up for failure." He then tapped Damian's chest two times before leaving.
*** ***
The five representatives of the Karian Adventurer Guild and the Virandal Empire stood before the entrance to the Epic Rank Garden. The five representatives of the Virandal Empire set their eyes on Tang Shaoyang since he was the highest rank in the guild.
Eril and the leader from the Virandal Empire shook hands. His name was Vidal, "Let's have a fair competition, Lady Eril." The baldy did not hide the smugness in his tone and expression. After finding out that the highest rank was Ancient Rank, he was confident of winning the contest.
"Let's have a fair competition, Sir Vidal." Eril maintained her composure.
After the handshake, the two groups entered the Epic Rank Garden.
