Chapter 199 Among Enemies
Chapter 199 Among Enemies
Jake after leaving the Raven inn and bar, walked towards the Raven's city Guildhall to find out what was going on with the maltreatment of slaves he saw on the first day he came and possibly find out who the leader of the Iron Fist Guild was and how he could find him.
He got to the Guildhall and could see the advancement of technology here compared to Aurora and he made a note at the back of his head to inform Kate and Head General Humfree about implementing all these in the Fang hunters.
His search for information led him towards a table where he sat down and eavesdropped on the conversations going on around him to hear of any thing that might help him.
That was when he did hear an interesting conversation going on between some adventurers about their distate for the Iron Fist Guild taking over their city while defeating their leader quite easily.
After some minutes, Jake walked up towards them to inquire how he could find the Iron Fist Guild members.
"You can easily find them because they wear an orange material be it head gear or something and it always has a symbol of a Fist planted firmly on it. While the higher ranked members symbol Is of that of an Iron Fist." One of them quickly explained.
Jake on hearing this, quickly smiled as he looked at the man that answered his question.
"Thank you so much, I really appreciate it." Jake said as he swiftly left their presence looking for the members of the Iron Fist Guild.
"Do you have a plan in mind? Hope you are not just going to go beat them up until they give you what you want." Zee said.
"I'm not so foolish, I have my ways and I know how to get the job done." Jake smiled as he finally saw a member of the Iron Fist Guild.
With that, Jake was now in front of a member of the Iron Fist Guild and in fact, he could see that they were around four and they stood in front of the huge bulletin like board and were discussing something.
Jake decided to listen in one their conversation.
"The quest says we need at least five people to participate as it involves an advanced tier beast." One of the members said.
"Yeah, how are we going to do that? Everyone here practically hates us after our leader took over their precious city." Another one of them said.
"Does it even matter? If our leader took over then it means he is better than their weak leader."
"Let's forget about that and focus on the current issue in front of us." A young man who looked to be around his early twenties with blue hair said and immediately, the others kept quiet.
'That could be the leader.' Jake thought as he inched closer after listening on their conversation.
"So where are we going to find a fifth member since this quest is quite important to us?" The leader asked again.
"I can help, I want to join you all." They heard a voice say and they turned around to look for the source.
And they could see a young teenage guy that looked to be eighteen at most with black curly hair and hazel blue eyes in front of them with a friendly smile.
"What did you say?" One of the members asked.
"I said, I would love to join you all on this hunt." Jake smiled again.
'Gosh, seeing them is just making my blood boil. I feel like slicing their heads off but I know that it's their leader who is at fault so I have to be calm since I'm practically in their territory.' Jake thought as he still maintained his fake smile.
"Why do you want to join us?" The leader asked.
"Because I was told that the Iron Fist Guild members were all strong and I want to witness that strength by myself while at the same time racking up points to rank up." Jake smiled.
"What's your rank?" The leader asked.
"F." Jake replied.
And they all started laughing at Jake.
"Look kid, we appreciate your will of joining us, but we don't want someone that will drag us down and slow us down." A member said.
"Exactly, F class is the lowest among we adventurers and we all here are D class adventurers while Alfred here is a C class adventurer." Someone said while pointing to their leader.
'So his name is Alfred, he is even a C class adventurer, so pathetic. I could just snap his head off smoothly in a blink of an eye, but I have to be patient If I want to gather the information I want.' Jake thought.
"I know I'm weak, but I promise I won't drag or slow you all down." Jake said. "I just want to hunt with you all and earn enough money to pay for my mother's bill." Jake said pulling all the sad face he could pull.
Your adventure continues at empire
They were now looking at him thinking of what they should do. At the end of the day, they couldn't decide anything since they weren't the leader so they looked up to Alfred to give his decision.
Alfred just sighed. "Alright you can come along but you have to stay close to us so that you won't get into trouble."
"Thank you so much." Jake smiled looking at Alfred.
'How did I do Zee?' Jake asked.
"Impressive acting. I would have been convinced myself." Zee replied and Jake smiled.
The team now went to register their members and they were given a portable telepoter button that had the coordinates of their hunting spot inputted on it.
Before they activated and stepped through, Jake decided to send a message to his friends through his system.
{I might be back late, so try and gather information and I will do the same on my end. When we get back, we would share whatever we found and try to formulate a plan. One more thing, please stay out of trouble.}
After sending the message, the portal opened and one by one, the members of the Iron Fist Guild stepped forward into it and soon after, Jake did the same and they were teleported into a new world.
