Chapter 2502 The Enemy Of My Enemy

Another month flew by for Minos' group.

While his group waited for Wovar and Clexvog to arrive at the guild headquarters, the members of their faction were hard at work on various fronts of the political war being waged by many groups of Armhands.

Kendrick, his sisters, and Grisdi were now in a dimly lit, elegantly decorated room of a restaurant outside the city. The air was thick with the aroma of exotic spices, but Kendrick ignored the drinks on the table and faced the two aliens who had asked to meet them that afternoon.

"What do you want?" Kendrick asked, his voice steady but his eyes betraying a flicker of suspicion.

The man and woman in front of them were not ordinary people. As stronger cultivators than them and of higher rank, they were people Kendrick and his companions knew were involved in the succession dispute in the internal area of the guild.

"You're just like your father, ha ha... But that's okay. That's better." The woman's voice was smooth, her smile calculating. She had done business with Minos in the past, and there was a hint of nostalgia in her eyes.

The man next to her, a level 111 alien, leaned forward. "I will not pretend that we're your allies, Soldier Kendrick. But that doesn't stop us from working together temporarily."

Lily, Kendrick's sharp-witted sister, narrowed her eyes. "Is that what you want?"

The level 110 woman nodded, her gaze shifting to Lily's Rank-and-File Soldier insignia. "In the past three weeks, three of your group members have been promoted, and soon Abby will become an Elite Soldier.

Don't you find this strange? Before, you had a lot of competition to become a Rank-and-File Soldier. But then, suddenly, the competition disappeared..."

Hollie clenched her fists. "Are you saying that the enemies did this?"

Kendrick and Grisdi looked at each other and couldn't help but see the problem, but also the reason. Come to think of it, it really had been easier for their faction to make progress lately.

"This is the work of the Jade Chainsaws," the woman explained. "They want to kill your entire group. If you become internal members of the guild, you'll be doing mandatory missions outside the headquarters..."

The level 111 man finished her thought. "At that time, you will all be brutally attacked by members of their faction."

...

After Kendrick's meeting earlier, he took on the task of seeing his father while his companions went about their respective duties in the guild.

Standing at the entrance to the inner area, Kendrick watched the bustling activity around him. He shifted from one foot to the other, his mind replaying the conversation with the two aliens. They were right—this situation needed careful handling.

Soon, he spotted Minos approaching with Sediel, a strikingly beautiful woman, walking beside him. As they drew nearer, Kendrick caught snippets of their conversation.

Sediel's melodic voice reached him. "He resembles you, not only in personality."

Minos chuckled. "Not so much. You have to see my youngest son, Rowan. He's even more like me."

"Will you bring him into the guild in the future?" she asked, her eyes twinkling with curiosity.

"Certainly. He'll be here in a few centuries," Minos replied with a proud smile.

"Well, I look forward to meeting little Rowan. But for now, be careful. Artaud is not easy. Even with the help of the two giants, it will be a tough battle," she cautioned, her tone serious.

Although she hadn't joined his faction, she had watched him and given him advice. After the previous gift, she had completed her advancement to level 114, enough to compete for a place as a General.

Artaud was a General, so her alliance with Minos seemed natural...

"Try your best to assassinate him during your meeting. If he survives, you can expect even greater threats. Don't think he won't use his influence to move others as strong as he is," she warned, her eyes locking onto Minos' with intensity.

"I know. I'll prepare myself well for the fight against him. Anyway, I hope to see you again when I return," Minos said with a hint of appreciation.

"Good luck. I'll be waiting for you," she replied, waving goodbye, her expression softening slightly.

As she walked away, Kendrick approached his father. "Father, we need to talk."

They moved towards a quieter area, the weight of upcoming battles and alliances heavy on their minds.
