Lenz City, Neutral Continent.

Right in the area of the Lenz Tower, there was a neighborhood where adventurers could be seen roaming around in abundance.

This area belonged to the new rising sect of the world, the Jingmei Guild.

The main headquarters of the guild had become really busy recently. The officials had no idea what had happened, but they saw an influx of strong adventurers suddenly.

They weren't even any weak people. Some of the adventurers were strong enough to even rival the Guildmaster, making everyone dumbfounded.

The Guildmaster and the Vice Guildmaster had first thought that this was a scheme of someone, but later on came to terms that it wasn't. There really were people who wanted to join their guild.

Thus, as per normal procedures, they ended up taking everybody in.

In these dire times, the one who worked the hardest was currently sitting at her desk, signing papers and being busy.

This lady was in a red hanfu and her slanted eyebrows were knitted. She was having a hard time going through the papers.

It was inevitable. She was the third-in-command in the guild and had lots of work to do.

She was Lady Hei, the person who Lith had once haggled with for a measly two silver coins.

Lith had been in contact with this woman, though not directly. The Royal Castle was backing this guild and the sole purpose of it was to have a strong organization that could explore the unknowns of the world and the dimensional gates that were on the rise.

The World Adventurer's Association collectively belonged to all the races so everything was shared. But with Jingmei Guild, the Royal Castle would have everything to themselves.

Lith had some ambitions when he decided to make money. Everything wasn't for naught and he took calculated steps.

Currently however, he didn't have plans to use the guild to go adventure in the unknown. His plans were different this time.

Lady Hei, who was going through her papers, felt her phone chime. She didn't want to check it, but her phone was set on priority messages and calls, so she had to give it a look.

When she had a look at it, she frowned, but then, her expression turned completely aghast.

"W-w-what is the meaning of this…" She muttered.

Leaving all the paperwork, she ran towards the Guildmaster's office.

Intruding in the guy's office rudely, Lady Hei said, "we are in some deep shit, Guildmaster."

Levi Stormwind, the Guildmaster, frowned. Not because of Hei rudely barging in, but by watching her aghast face.

"What happened?"

Hei simply gave her phone to him and let him make it out on his own.

Levi's frown changed into that of a grave expression. "What in the world…"

There were text messages asking whether these guys liked the new additions or not. Then, the texts mentioned why these guys had joined this place and what the person expects the guild to do.

This text was from their mysterious backer they had no idea of. This person had helped them so much that their guild had entered the top thousand rankings.

Levi rubbed his temples and closed his eyes. A few seconds later, he said, "call Levesky."

Two minutes later, Levesky arrived.

The mood in the office made him aware that something serious was going on here.

Levi didn't even wait for Levesky to sit and simply handed him the phone, showing the texts.

Levesky's expression, even after reading the texts, didn't change.

"I told you, nothing's free in the world." Levesky said, as if expecting such an outcome.

If Levi was the master of the guild, Levesky was the brains and Hei was the link that connected those two to the rest of the guild.

Levesky had predicted such a thing before and it ended up becoming true. Hence, he wasn't very surprised.

Levi and Hei turned to look at Levesky with an expectant gaze, awaiting his further instructions.

"Don't look at me like that. We have no choice but to follow. Prepare for a war." Levesky stated calmly.

Levi sighed while Hei trembled in fear.

"Vice Guildmaster… we're up against—"

"The World Adventurer's Association." Levesky interrupted her. "So what? One day, we are all gonna die, so we might as well die while striving for greatness."

Levi and Hei looked at him with a dumbfounded gaze.

Levesky, still calm, continued, "our backer doesn't seem to be an irrational entity. They have helped us grow and we are at a point where they feel that we could be useful. Don't think of it in the perspective of being used, think of it like…"

Levesky took a pause and looked at the two, who were not even trying to think of anything.

Sighing, he decided to say it to them on his own.

"…think of it like, we are capable enough to be used. If we weren't, why would someone splurge so extravagantly? Wealth doesn't appear out of thin air, even a single nickel is money."

Finally, Levi and Hei felt things made sense.

Levi nodded his head and said, "then, we'll use a step by step approach and proceed with caution. There's not a time constraint so—"

Ding!

Levi was interrupted by the phone chiming.

Frowning, he checked it, only to put on an awkward smile. "I seemed to have jinxed myself. There is a time constraint."

"How long?"

"Hundred years."

"Hmm…" Levesky got to thinking.

A minute later, he said, "we shouldn't have a problem then. We can easily go against the association, but of course, cannot defeat them fully and only do a bit of damage."

Levi nodded. "We'll prioritize the damage on our side and then attack them. We can at least take a few strongholds of the association and make our bases there."

"Yes. We cannot defeat an organization run by a collaborative effort of the main races. But, we can inflict some damage and take some of their resources." Levesky replied.

"Then it's decided." Levi said. "We'll start slow and go on a full scale war towards the end of the deadline."

Just like that, plans were starting to be made in the Jingmei Guild to go against the mighty Adventurer's Association.

It was like an ant up against an elephant, but if the ant entered the ears and travelled to the brain, it could inflict quite some nerve damage to the elephant, causing it to be paralyzed.

Meanwhile, back in the Royal Castle, Lith was sipping on tea like a spoiled young master.

He wasn't the one holding the tea cup, it was Fanny. She had to properly blow to not let the tea be too hot or blow too much and make the tea cold. Everytime she made a mistake, Lith slapped her buttocks right in front of her mother and even Fei.

As of now, Fanny's buttocks were evenly punished, with two slaps on each cheek.

Fanny was really pissed but could only swallow her anger and make Lith drink the tea.

As for Keith, she did feel a bit of pity for her daughter, but not too much. She couldn't understand how her daughter couldn't do such a simple task of keeping the tea neither too hot nor too cold.

Maybe, this could act as a proper training for her, thought Keith, and dismissed the matter.

She was currently holding a phone and typing whatever Lith asked her to type. He had stopped the instructions so she was relaxed for a while.

As for Fei, she was sitting opposite to Lith, beside Keith, and rubbing her thighs together in a strange manner, as if she had a bad itch and couldn't scratch it.

At first everyone ignored it, but then, her rubbing intensified and Lith couldn't help but ask, "Fei, are you in heat? Want to be relieved?"

"Nooooo!" Fei said and began rubbing even more intensely, this time even using her hands to scratch.

Lith, Keith, and Fanny frowned. This wasn't a normal reaction she was having.

Keith went to check up on Fei while Lith thought of calling someone for help.

However, he then realized, he had two great abilities and could maybe check what was wrong with Fei.

Lith immediately stared at Fei and activated his skill. Ancient letters appeared on Lith's left eye and they then began spinning, making Lith's eye glow with a white brilliance.

It was then, he saw a black lock wrapped around Fei's chest, tightening up as seconds passed.

At the bottom, right in the place where Fei's womb was, there was the aura of a small black hand, scratching at some sort of ancient rune.

Lith started feeling a sharp pain in his head at this point, but he continued to see what this was and followed the aura of the black hand.

Faint traces of the aura could be seen and the trail was cut off after a certain distance.

Lith held Fei in his embrace and moved towards the trail and the trail lengthened.

"Luna, immediately being Noman and Ruben here!" Lith shouted.

In just an instant, Luna, Noman, and Ruben were here.

Ruben and Noman felt something off and Lith, jumping on Ruben's back, said, "Luna, carry Fei and move straight at West! Noman, follow the lead of anything sinister you might find and Ruben, follow Luna."

"HURRY!"
