Chapter 207 Sorting Matters
"You know what? I am too lazy to even argue with you." Myriad Arrows shook his head.
"I have been stuck here long enough, taking care of everyone. I have to go get my tier ascension. You can stay here, taking care of things." He scoffed.
"Yes. You should try and get to the second tier as fast as possible. Well then, once you get to the second tier, well then, it will be very interesting, having two second tier individuals in the guild, won\'t it?" Jake smiled.
Myriad Arrows just harrumphed before storming out of the room.
"Sometimes, he just acts like a little girl. It doesn\'t make any sense." Jake sighed and wondered, shaking his head.
"Well then, now that this one thing is over, I can concentrate on the bigger matters at hand." He sighed with relief.
Opening his chats, he glanced at one that was inactive for quite a while.
[Kierch. Are you in the second tier by now? Or do you need some help to get there?]
After sending that message, he closed the window. Unlike with Myriad Arrows, he knew that it was going to take some time to get a reply out of the mercenary.
Instead, it was better if he could just look at the other things that he had started before leaving.
He went to another window, with another person that was surprisingly quiet for a long time.
[Dad? Please tell me that you were able to get that Epic Class. Or did you fail? Even if you failed, its okay. Can you tell me what happened though?]
After putting up this message, he stretched his arms.
"And there is also the matter of the secretary that he hired." Jake mused as he walked out of the room that Myriad Arrows took over.
At the least, Myriad Arrows knew not to touch the one room that Jake had reserved for himself. The one room that was out of bounds.
There was a desk immediately outside the room, and sitting nervously behind it was none other than Purple Rain.
Ironically, for a person named Purple Rain, this was a woman who had green hair and green eyes. Still, there was no denying that she was eye candy enough for anyone who was coming to meet the vice guild master.
"Ah! Guild master!" Purple Rain got up, startled.
"Forgive me for my offense. I didn\'t know that you were the real guild master. There were so many cases of people trying to trick others, that I wasn\'t sure if you were the real deal or not." She hastily said.
"Don\'t worry too much about it." Jake shook his head.
"I heard Myriad Arrows say something about some people arriving? That he had to answer to them. Who came here and is there anyone still in the guild headquarters?" Jake asked.
Purple Rain nodded vigorously.
"Yes to the first question, or to the second?"
"Both, guild master. There was this beautiful woman who said that she would wait till she could get an answer from the guild master himself. I told her that no one knew where he was, but she was adamant. So the Vice Guild master gave her a room to just stay in until you came." Purple Rain said.
"Ah!" Jake nodded.
"A beautiful woman? It can\'t possibly be Phoenix. She would not wait here for more than a few hours. She is too important to spend her time waiting for me." Jake thought.
"It has to be an attendant of someone else." Jake came to a conclusion.
"Take me to where she is waiting. I am here, and I have nothing better to do anyways. Why don\'t I take care of these things." Jake said with a faint smile on his face.
"As you wish, Guild Master." Purple Rain stood up and started guiding Jake through the complicated labyrinth that Jake had created for himself.
Sure, he knew how to navigate it, but he was quite surprised that someone got so used to this place in the few days that he was gone.
"You have been through these halls quite a lot, haven\'t you? I am surprised. You really are a good addition. Myriad Arrows made a good hire." Jake nodded with surprise.
"Thank you Guild Master. I will make sure to uphold your expectations." Purple Rain meekly said as she stopped in front of one of the doors.
"She is in here." She said.
Jake nodded as he knocked on the door.
"Who is it?" A plain voice came from behind the door.
"Whoever you are waiting for."
As he said this, the door clicked open in a few seconds,
The door opened to reveal a pretty woman indeed.
In front of Jake was a woman in a sundress of all things, calmly looking at the guild master and owner of her current residence.
"So you have finally decided to surface." She smiled.
"Do I know you?" Jake asked, not losing the faint smile on his face.
"No. We haven\'t had the pleasure of meeting yet. Nine Jasmine, at your service." She put her left hand forward, holding her frock on bending ever so slightly.
Jake returned the gesture, holding her left hand gently, and bringing it to his lips for a slight peck.
"But what is so important for you to waste your time waiting for me, Ms. Jasmine? I am sure that you have better things to do." He asked.
"I am no owner that is here to be tricked by your deceiving words, Shadow King. I am not the people you should be convincing." Nine Jasmine\'s tone immediately changed.
"You promised us the world, and yet, Aries and two others took the front step? Can you please tell me what the hold up is? We know that our guilds combined are much stronger than them. And yet, they became the front runners in the expedition." She asked, cutting straight to the chase.
"Yes." Jake nodded.
"Phoenix\'s camp? No, this is not her style. Maybe Venur sent you? Phoenix\'s father does have a reputation of taking things into his own hands when the young lady disappoints." Jake smiled.
