Chapter 965: An Extra Pair Of Hands



"Yes, really," Lu Yan said, nodding his head at Ri-Chu.

He then turned his gaze back to Alexander and Kary, his face becoming stoic once more.

"And as such, I come bearing this offer. Through our many chats, Riri has already told me that you were going on a trip to Korea. And from my understanding, you were to do there something very important.

"Alas, he hasn't told me much more, as he is more tight-lipped than I thought about matters of the guild. But, from what I see here, or more likely what I feel, important is a rather lacklustre word for it."

Alex's gaze hardened as he looked over at Rì-Chū.

But Liu Yan raised his hand to grab his attention again.

"Please don't lash out at him. He said nothing of this. It is information I surmised from our conversations. He only talked about an upcoming trip to Korea. The rest I found out myself."

Kary observed him and found him to be rather difficult to read. Which was surprising, given he looked so young.

Even if he claimed to have taken medical school, he didn't look older than twenty-five, which would mean he wasn't even done with it, under normal circumstances.

How he got to be so informed was a mystery. One she intended to elucidate in due time.

But, right now, it was time to find out what he wanted, more than what he knew.

"We're still waiting for an offer, Stormbringer," Kary said, her tone a bit cold.

"Yes. I was coming to it," the young man said, his face turning to a sharkish grin.

"Since I've already found out about your expedition, I wanted to offer my help. I'm sure one more magic-enabled person would not be too much, and it would allow me to see if we are a good fit."

"A good fit for what?" Alex asked, even though he already assumed the answer.

"A good fit for me to finally settle into a guild."

"Born into money. Gotcha," Alex replied, chuckling.

The young man didn't deny or acquiesce about his statement, but it was apparent.

His current clothes all reeked of designer brand, and even his shoes looked expensive.

But Alex couldn't care less.

"Fine. Let's do it that way. But if you put any of my people in danger, you'll have to deal with me personally. And I don't forgive easily," he growled.

Liu Yan responded with a nod, keeping his mouth shut. But he could tell Alex was not kidding. The coldness of his gaze, as he made his threat, was unmistakable. He wouldn't hesitate to deal with him if he willingly threatened his friends.

However, Liu Yan found himself respecting him more for this.

'If he is this protective of his friends, then I understand how their guild has flourished so much, so fast. People feel safe around him. Let's see how that transcribes in a dangerous situation,' he thought.

Major Schrute's voice came over the intercom, interrupting his train of thought.

"The plane is refuelled, and we've been directed to head to the runway to await liftoff. If you are all ready, I'll be closing the doors and starting to taxi toward there. So get yourselves in a seat and buckle up."

Looking around, Alex could see almost all his people, aside from David, who he assumed was somewhere in the cargo hold, and Killian, who was still out cold.

So he got up and pressed the intercom button.

"We are ready, Major. Thanks for the heads up."

There was no reply, but he felt the plane shake a little as the cargo bay door shut, and the plane's engines started whirring to life.

"Alright, you heard her, everyone. Buckle up. I don't want to see anyone moving out of their seat until we are airborne."

But he could tell it wouldn't be an issue, since most of them were almost comatose from mana exhaustion. He simply smiled and went to sit back down across from Rì-Chū and Liu

Yan.

'This will be a much more interesting hunting trip than I thought...'
