Chapter 105 Making trouble for Poison Guild(2)

The investigators quickly arrived at the warehouse and started their investigation.

At the headquarters of PHA, an officer reported the incident to Owen.

"Sir, something happened to one of the areas that our secret member is monitoring. He was monitoring another area last night, and when he returned to observe the warehouse, investigators were already there. A hyperbeing should be involved, but we haven't been called by investigators to handle the case," reported the officer.

"Damn! Those shit are taking advantage of the law!" Complained Owen.

PHA cannot handle the case if there is no clear evidence of hyperbeing's involvement. They can only be involved in the case if it is reported by investigators that it involves a hyperbeing. PHA wants to change that law. They must at least have the power to investigate without waiting for the report of investigators, but it is being blocked in Congress by the politicians under the payroll of guilds. The shady guilds help the officials secretly train professional investigators to become aura masters and magicians. They don't need PHA's help for the investigation. Those investigators help cover up those guilds.

Some higher-ups in PHA want to eradicate the gangs, but they do not belong to their jurisdiction because they are just ordinary humans. Their hands are tied by law and threats from guilds. The guilds did not say it directly, but if PHA gets involved with the gangs under their umbrella, they threaten not to help in clearing broken worlds. It will be a disaster if the world's burst happens near a city. They will not say anything if PHA follows the law. The law is the rule of the game. For the bigger picture, PHA is forced to play with guilds within the rules of the game.

The investigator, who was trained as a magician, discovered that there are more earth and fire elements in the air. He was informed that the hyperbeing of Saber's guild is a fire magician, so the assailant is really just an earth magician. They also discovered the phone and recovered the data. They discovered the voice recording, and they were shocked.

Johnny called a manager of the Saber's Guild, and the manager informed the leader of the guild.

It's already morning, and in Pasig City, in a particular district, there are tall buildings with guild crests. One of the tallest buildings has a saber with the capital letter SG. It's the crest of Saber's guild. nOVe(lb/1n

Within a room, the guild leader and vice leader are listening to the sound recording. They are wearing suits. They have angry expressions as they listen to the recording. They finished listening to the recording.

"What do you think?" asked the guild leader, Mar.

The vice leader, Art, touches the bridge of his eyeglasses and pushes them up, then talks about his analysis.

"Everyone in Metro Manila knows that Tivac really suffered a big loss in the restricted area. He was punished and tasked to find more broken worlds. He is desperate for money. We all know that he has ambition to expand his branch influence even before he suffered a big loss.

The evidence at the site has no sign of trying to hide the evidence that the assailant is an earth magician. It was like the assailant wants to be found. Tivac has the motive to do it. He might want us to think that it is an earth magician of Evenheart and want us to have war. All guilds that will be involved in the war will suffer losses, which is good for Tivac."

Mar nods after hearing the analysis of Art.

"We must inform the other guilds. All of us must join together and put pressure on Tivac to explain the recording," said Mar.

"Sir, you might test the water on Tivac's side first. Someone might also be framing him," Art suggested.

"You are right." Mar feels relieved that his vice leader is very competent. He helps him avoid jumping on pits. He used a wireless landline and dialed the number of the Poison Guild branch.

In Quezon City, within a tall building with a crest of the Poison Guild, Tivac is within a training hall.

Earth elements are gathering on Tivac's whole body. Yellow Taurus armor is covering his whole body, and a yellow hammer is forming on his hand. It is his unique power. He did not use it in the restricted area because it takes time to form and requires a lot of mana to maintain, but he is getting better. The speed in forming it is getting faster, and the mana needed is getting lower.

There are many earthen sculptures in front of him, but they have the same faces. One has a blank face. The other two are the faces of scouts that entered the broken world with him before.

Tivac's face looks fierce as he looks at the sculptures. He tried to explain what happened to the headquarters, but the two scouts were fanning the flame, so it was concluded that the incident happened because of his negligence, and their branch got punished.

Due to their branch punishment, members of his branch are dying, and many are injured as they try to find more broken worlds.

They actually tried to find the hyperbeing, but they failed. All the hyperbeings they found were in a group that belonged to the top guilds. No one separated from their group and they presented evidence.

Ordinary humans that entered the restricted area are off their list of suspects, as they think they will die before they can enter the inner zone. They even worked with other guilds and the army to find any suspicious beings, but they did not find anyone. They secretly monitor the other guild members to see if there is someone acting suspicious, but they all act normally. They thought the hyperbeing might have been killed by a powerful magic beast.

The whole Taurus armor of Tivac has formed. He released his aura and took a hammer stance.

"DIE!" shouts Tivac as he charges toward the sculptures and swings his hammer. The sculptures are being blown to pieces.

He threw his hammer, then it flew in a straight line, blowing the heads of sculptures. He controlled the hammer to fly back.

A guild member came in and interrupted him.

"What is it?" asked Tivac with annoyance.

"Sir, the guild leader of Saber's Guild is calling. He said that he has something important to ask," said the guild member, who is holding a wireless landline phone.

Anger appears on Tivac's face as he hears that many guild leaders are laughing at his misfortune.

He is gritting his teeth. He walked toward the guild member and took the phone.

The guild member retreated.

Tivac pressed a keypad on the phone, and the call from the other line came in, but the voice caused Tivac's anger to flare up.

"Hello Tivac, I just want to ask if you are still interested in expanding your guild's influence to Pasig City," Mar asked directly. He prepared follow-up questions based on how Tivac would answer the question.

Tivac's face became very fierce. Blood vessels were bulging on his forehead. The question sounded like a mockery to him. He does not have the time to expand the branch's influence because of his punishment.

"Who the hell are you to question me?!! I am Tivac of Poison Guild. You fucking shit!" Tivac furiously shouted, then he cut off the call.

On the other line of the landline, Mar and Art have an astonished face, then they became furious.

"Fuck you Tivac! You are just a branch leader! How dare you act so high and mighty!" Cursed by Mar.

The eyes of Art turned very fierce. He pushed up his eyeglasses and stated his plan to teach Tivac a lesson.

"Leader, Poison Guild receives special attention from the government as they exceeded their tolerance. They still exist because of the protection of Death Guild, but the expansion of their influence is being obstructed everywhere. Poison Guild cannot even directly control the underground market and gangs. We can use the hand of the government as a borrowed knife. We just need to give evidence and-"

The eyes of Art turned sharper.

"Aren't Tivac's branch members dying due to their punishment? It's normal if more of them die in restricted areas," Art fiercely said.

Mar's eyes also turned sharper.

"We will join with other guilds and teach Tivac a lesson he can never forget!"

The timing of Saber's guild call on Tivac was too bad. He just lost some of his branch members in restricted areas. His mind was not clear, and his anger was high. They unknowingly all jumped on the pit dug by Edgar.
