Luna was more than aware of the fact that Mark did not want to join any guilds. That was something that her assistant emphasized over and over again when she told her about Mark. Her assistant said that Mark had already turned down offers from the NSA as well as every other guild that came to him.
However, after doing some research, Luna realized that the only guilds that approached Mark were low-ranking guilds whose leaders were not even above S rank. Of course, he would deny them. They did not even have the bare minimum of resources to support someone like Mark. Luna knew of Mark's background, and she knew that he was not lacking money.
Mark's company was doing very well, and the Vanitas Motors franchise was already much larger than those small guilds. Why would Mark join a guild that was smaller than his family's company?
The Moonlight Guild was different because it had more than enough to give him anything that he wanted, and the Moonlight Guild was at least seven times larger than the Vanitas Motors franchise. They had the money and the prestige to boost someone like Mark to even higher positions.
"I'm not offering what those other guilds offered you. I want you to state your demands. Regardless of what they are, even if it involves me giving you a small island nation of your own, I am willing to go as far as possible to have you join my guild. All the members of my guild can attest to my generosity. Money is no object to me.
I admit that many of my guild members only joined the guild because they were greedy and wanted to receive as much compensation as possible for their troubles, but I have also given many of them a place where they can belong, a place where they can be with others that are just as strong and driven as they are. If you join me, then I can promise to make you stronger than you could imagine.
Join me, Mark, and I will make sure you are never alone. I'll protect you."
Mark breathed out a foggy breath as he heard what Luna said. The system didn't trigger his Styxwatcher skill, so Mark could tell that Luna was telling the truth. Was she really that desperate to have him join her guild?
It was already strange enough that a leader of a guild would come here on her own just to invite him to the guild, but now she was practically throwing the world at his feet just for him to join.
Mark was flattered. He wouldn't deny that hearing her desperately asking him to join was enough to move his heart a little. If he were anyone else, then there is no way that he would have refused her offer. But Mark already had other plans.
Luna's eyes widened in shock, and she felt the surrounding area heating up before the ice that she created burst into millions of pieces and scattered in the wind. Luna turned to the side, and she saw a group of people walking towards her. The person leading them was a woman that anyone would recognize the moment they saw her.
Fiona's long auburn hair and deep blue eyes drew the gazes of everyone in the area for a moment as he walked towards the talking pair. She was flanked by Tylor and other members of her guild, but she was not interested in anything else as her eyes stayed glued on Mark.
She smiled at Mark in that sultry manner that never failed to entice every man she ever met and she felt her smile drop a bit when Mark simply gave her a nod in response.
Fiona frowned in disappointment, but she didn't allow his reaction to bother her too much as she turned to the side to regard Luna. Luna's expression darkened for a moment once she saw Fiona before Luna gained her impassive look once more as she faced the incoming group.
"Madam Luna, I had no idea that you were coming to City A. Surely, you weren't trying to sneak in to get an upper hand in recruiting a member of 'my' guild."
Luna's eye twitched as she heard the mocking tone in Fiona's voice, and she spoke up with blank indifference.
"Fiona. As always, you never fail to irritate me with your presence."
Fiona's smile only widened as she heard what Luna said. Fiona didn't care if Luna insulted her to hell and back right now. Because at that moment, Fiona felt like she was on top of the world!
Fiona and Luna were two of the most popular female Superhumans in America, so they always had guest appearances and missions that made their paths cross, but everyone could tell that they both hated each other with a passion! Luna was a calm person, so you wouldn't notice just how strong the animosity was if you were only focusing on her. But Fiona did not hide it one bit!
She openly glared and sneered at Luna without restraint!
