Chapter 249 Cleaning the Guild

“Don’t do it, Levesky.”

Levesky, in a neutral tone, said to the man holding his hand, “Levi, I have ignored these things for far too long, don’t stop me now. I should’ve done it earlier.”

Levi sighed as he heard this. He let go of Levesky’s hand and backed off. “Do as you please, but don’t regret it later.”

“Not a chance.” Levesky replied.

The people looking trembled even further looking at the man who had just tried to stop Levesky and it intensified by a notch when they heard this conversation.

The man, Levi Stormwind, Guildmaster of the Jingmei Guild, was not able to stop the Vice Guildmaster, Levesky.

The people did not know why the Guildmaster did not show his authority to stop Levesky and they had no idea why he listened to Levesky. But what they could figure out was that Levesky was even more terrifying than they initially thought.

After Levi backed out, Levesky immediately slashed Utrov’s neck and killed him. He threw his Magic Core down on the ground and got to the center of the lobby.

A Magic Core of a Rank 7 was lying on the ground as if it was trash and this shocked the people even further.

Lady Hei was no exception to this either. She was about to leave at the start with Lith but who knew things would turn out like this. She went through a myriad of emotions just like everyone else and when she saw the Magic Core of Utrov lying like trash, she shuddered lightly.

She roughly had an idea as to why his demise occurred and she was internally thankful to herself that she didn’t take part in Utrov’s bad deeds.

Levesky had a good look at the people in the lobby. He then looked at Levi, who in return simply nodded his head and gave his approval.

Levesky cleared his throat and said in a neutral tone,

“Everyone, the guild will undergo cleansing. It may take anywhere upto a few weeks to months for the same. This may slightly affect your schedules and I apologize on behalf of the guild for the same. I’ll ensure that everything returns to normalcy soon. Till then, your patience would be appreciated.”

The people nodded their heads as they heard Levesky say this.

A person stepped forward and said, “Vice Guildmaster, please do not worry, we’ll follow your words. Take your time, no need to rush.”

“Yes, Sir Vice Guildmaster. No need to worry.” Another person added.

“We’ll follow the Vice Guildmaster’s commands!” Many shouted in unison.

The guild lobby became lively with the people asking Levesky not to worry.

After a few minutes, it died down without Levesky having to ask them to stop. He turned to look at Lady Hei and said in a neutral tone,

“Hei, call for a meeting. Ask every staff member to come to the office within three hours.”

Lady Hei nodded her head and said, “as you command, Vice Guildmaster.”

Levesky then walked back towards Lith and said looking down at him, “I applaud your courage, but make sure to not make such threats next time.”

Lith shrugged and said, “then make sure to be on time and not just watch as a bystander.”

Levesky had a slight smile on his face when he heard Lith say that. It was a rare one and Levi from the side noticed it.

Levesky patted Lith’s shoulder and said, “I’ll do that. You want two silver coins right? Here, have them. Take this too.”

Levesky handed Lith two silver coins and a yellow colored token. The token had the insignia of the guild—a black leopard’s face.

“This is a special token, make sure to not lose it. Next time whenever you visit the guild, make sure to show this token.” Levesky left after explaining a little about the token.

Lith smiled lightly and put the token in his ring. He left the guild after that as his work was done.

Levesky met Levi and as soon as he reached close to him, Levi smiled and asked,

“You seem completely different when talking to that kid. What got to you?”

Levesky was back to his indifferent self. “He didn’t flinch, falter or went back on his attitude even after I slightly intimidated him. His attitude remained the same throughout, despite knowing I was the Vice Guildmaster. He has the courage we never had, Levi.

I can see a future leader in that kid. I don’t know if you can see it or not. Anyway, less talks about him. We should worry about our own matters first. Come, let’s go clea– no, purge the filth from our guild.”

Levi nodded and they both went about to the office on the top floor.

Everyone in the lobby once again settled down and got back to doing what they were doing.

Except for one person, the receptionist.

The receptionist was looking at the black Magic Core lying on the ground like trash. It was slowly disintegrating into ash and looking at it made the receptionist intensely tremble in fear. He knew why Utrov died and also knew that it could be him in that place any moment.

The receptionist knew that Utrov’s Magic Core’s connection to the world was severed before he got killed, making him unable to ever resurrect or reincarnate.

He experienced the cruelty of the Vice Guildmaster for the first time and almost soiled his pants when he did. The receptionist swore to himself that he won’t ever do bad deeds in the guild anymore.

He walked back to his desk while trembling and tried to work.

…..

Royal Castle, Nightingale.

Lilith was sitting on a sofa in the living room of the castle and was watching Lith on her tablet. There were two maids standing behind her sofa, ready to be at her service anytime she asked.

Lilith put down the tablet and smiled. She thought to herself,

‘My baby is growing up so fast. I wonder how he learnt to talk like that? Hmm, it must be the internet. He’s probably spending too much time on the internet.’

After a few minutes of thinking, Lilith said in a neutral tone,

“Freya, come here.”

Freya Woods, a blonde-haired, green-eyed maid, walked in front of Lilith and said bowing,

“Yes, Madam?”

“Go to the Jingmei Guild in Espat and help them. Also ensure that their rank is raised. Make sure that they have their headquarters near the Lenz Tower within a year.” Lilith gave a black card to Freya and commanded.

The black card had a silver-crimson moon with a few black bats flying around it printed on it. It was a debit card of the Royal Clan issued to them by the witches. These cards can be given to the servants to use and the transactions were monitored by the witches.

Or course, everything was confidential. The witches weren’t stupid to leak any details of the Royal Clan. Hecate had warned and trained everyone in charge of this well.

Freya took the card, bowed and left. Being with Lilith for so many years, she could read between the lines and didn’t need to be instructed in detail.

Her mission was to make the Jingmei Guild strong within a year, that was the command Lilith gave.

After Freya left, Lilith said, “Lana, what’s my dear doing?”

Lana, a black-haired, brown-eyed maid standing behind Lilith, didn’t move from her place and said, “Her Majesty is still trying to make changes to the hierarchy of the Vampires, Madam.”

“She’s still doing it? Oh my, just how much is she overthinking things? Lana, update me a week later on this same thing. If even a week later she’s not able to do it, I’ll intervene.” Lilith said with concern.

“Understood, Madam.” Lana nodded.

…..

Kunlor Forest, Espat.

Ralph and Dennis were fighting beasts currently and it had been four hours since Lith had left. The two only took a break once, and it was for fifteen minutes. They had been fighting and killing them ever since.

Space fluctuated near them this time but they were busy fighting with a group of ox like beasts and didn’t bother to check who it was near them.

Lith teleported out of thin air in a few seconds and saw the two fighting. He took his bow out from his ring and pulled the string while willing the Fire elements in the surrounding. A fire arrow was formed as he did this action and once fully formed, he let go of the string and the arrow shot out towards the oxes.

Midway, the arrow split into many more arrows and each and every fire arrow pierced the head of the oxes, thereby killing them.

A large chunk of these oxes was killed and Ralph and Dennis got the pressure off of them. They killed the remaining ones easily and their job was done.

The three grouped up and Dennis asked Lith, “how did it go, Your Highness. What all things did you do in these four hours?”

Lith began explaining all the things that happened while he was in Espat over afternoon tea in the middle of the first level of the Kunlor Forest. Ralph and Dennis rested and listened intently to what he was saying and didn’t interrupt him.
