Chapter 1212 Evelynthea Alarastre
Liam was not eloquent and not really good at giving speeches so he cut his short and jumped to the next stage, the action part. After all, a lot of work was left to be done to bring order to this seemingly vast and humongous world before things got out of hand.
The first thing he did was brief everyone about the new young mistress in town. He informed everyone of his plan of staying low while allowing Luna to take the lead for the time being and her new identity as a scion of a mysterious faction.
Including Tilia, Liam trusted everyone in the room at the moment. He still had some reservations about the fairy manager but considering what she had done for him, he had to give her the benefit of the doubt.
Besides, she already knew that he was alive. So he had no concerns about revealing his plan to this group. At the same time, he stressed enough that this information should not leave this group. Their survival and their family's survival depended on it.
None of the Crimson Abyss guild members were idiots. Apart from the fact that they had signed a soul-binding contract, each and every single one of them had experienced the tutorial and the apocalypse together.
After dealing with Crawford, no one doubted the capabilities of the divine temple high priestess and her capabilities. The new world they were living in was completely beyond their understanding.
All they could do at the moment was keep their head low and become stronger. No one needed to tell them twice about remaining low-profile and secretive.
The cover story was that Evelynthea Alarastre from the Alarastre clan, something completely made up, had decided to make Earth her pet planet and holiday resort. The little tyrant had essentially claimed this world for herself.
The first thing she did was to kill the annoying old man who stood in her path and hijacked the previously top power of the world, the Crimson Abyss guild, using all of the guild members as her personal troops for this world. n0ve(l)bi(n.)co/m
It would be best to first take stock of the situation in the outside world before bringing the guild back together again.
This meant that Mei Mei and Shen Yue once again had to part with Liam and the two were very unwilling. They had just been reunited with Liam, and the thought of parting again so soon was heart-wrenching.
However, they understood the gravity of the situation and the importance of Liam remaining dead. This time the separation would also be for a few weeks at the most. So they relented.
With final nods to everyone, Liam, accompanied by Tilia and the transformed Luna, stepped through the portal back to the main world.
The portal closed behind them, leaving Mei Mei and Shen Yue, and everyone else in the serene garden, watching the space where he had disappeared.
Once back in the main world, Liam's demeanor changed. He went back to the silent hooded figure that stood at the back while Luna took charge. "I need a comprehensive information packet about the current guilds in the world and the human population."
Not everyone from the OG Crimson Abyss was able to get into the magic shop. For some, it was a matter of bad timing and missed opportunity but for others, it was a choice.
To begin with, the shady monk and the oracle had both disappeared. Liam couldn't get a hold of their soul contracts too as they had somehow managed to wiggle out of the system's iron-clad agreement.
Liam refused to believe that these two did this on their own.
Their disappearance and broken contracts implied that there might be other forces at play, ones that he had not anticipated or accounted for. But this was a problem for tomorrow. There was nothing he could do about this at the moment.
Instead, the two people he was more concerned about were the Lan siblings. Both of them were missing and from what he could see they were not in any danger or hiding.
The two were thriving as the guild leaders of the current top guild of their world, the Crown's Shield.
