Chapter 288: He must die
The ones around this person all lowered their heads as if they were afraid of attracting this person's attention.
But this person's eyes fell onto the ones around him and he said, "Well? Why did it fail?"
Still no one said a thing as they all lowered their heads.
Finally, one of them said, "It should be because of the appearance of the Dark Blade…"
That person immediately turned to look at this person and said, "Why did the Dark Blade suddenly appear? Why did we not have information on this?" Continue reading at ???
Once again, everyone looked down and didn't dare look up.
Not a single one of them had an answer for this since they were just as surprised as this person when the Dark Blade appeared.
Seeing that no one said anything again, that person slammed his fist down on the table in front of him and pointed at one of them to say, "Why didn't you find anything about this?"
This person that he was pointing at was the one that was in charge of gathering information for their group.
So it could be said that it was his fault that they didn't have this information.
Everyone else let out a sigh of relief when they saw that this person was picked out since it meant that they would be spared the wrath of the leader.
That person trembled when he was picked out and still didn't dare look up.
But feeling the pressure that fell on him, he had no choice but to look up and say, "I don't know. We didn't have any information on him making contact with the Dark Blade, so we have no idea when he became friends with him."
The person in charge narrowed his eyes to look at this person before saying, "Are you sure that there was no information at all about this?"
That person trembled when he felt the increased pressure, but then he suddenly remembered something.
He quickly pulled out a sheet of paper and said, "There was some form of contact when he went to take the Irregular License Exam, but the time that they interacted was considered too short for them to form any relationship."
The person in charge took this sheet of paper and read the report on it before throwing it in the face of the person who handed it to him.
"You idiot! Can't you read between the lines!"
That person didn't dare react at all to the paper being thrown at him and quickly lowered his head once more.
The person in charge slammed his hand down on the table and said, "It's clear that he caught the attention of Dark Blade at the exam, or else Dark Blade never would have personally appeared to give him that reward."
Then he looked over all of them and said, "He must have some kind of special power that could catch the attention of both the guild master and Dark Blade, yet not a single one of you could understand that?"
All of them revealed embarrassed looks when they heard this.
Once he said it out loud and they thought about it, they realized that he made sense.
This was the only explanation that this could be, but they didn't understand why they didn't think of it earlier…
It was as if there was something that made them miss this…
After revealing an ugly look, the person in charge glared at the person who was in charge of information and raised a hand.
When that person saw this raised hand, he couldn't help trembling as he said, "Wait, no, please, I'll make up for this mistake."
The person in charge just gave a cold snort and said, "It's too late."
Without any hesitation, he squeezed his hand together and that person twisted his face in pain.
He quickly fell down atop the table while grasping at his heart and gasping for air. All the while, he was saying, "Please spare me, please spare me."
After a minute of this, the person in charge finally released his hand and said, "I'll give you one last chance, understood? If you can't make this right, then you better run to the ends of the world."
That person quickly nodded and said, "Yes, yes, I will make this right."
The person in charge looked over the rest of them one last time before saying, "Get out."
All of them looked like they had been spared as they quickly gathered their things and left this room.
In no time at all, this person was all alone in this room.
He didn't say anything as he just stood there looking at this empty room.
Then all of a sudden, he smashed his hand down on the table in front of him and said, "Damn that kid! How dare he approach the guild master like that!"
He grabbed the broken table and smashed it against the wall, shattering it to pieces before shouting, "He dares get in between me and the guild master? Then he must die!"
This person kept smashing up this room until there wasn't a single thing left.
By the end of it, he was panting and his hands were bleeding from being cut by the thing that he broke, but it didn't seem like he noticed at all.
After taking a moment to catch his breath, he wiped the blood from his hands with a handkerchief before reaching into his pocket to pull out a locket.
He opened up this locket and it revealed a picture of…Bing Lan.
He held this picture in one hand while his other hand came up to gently stroke the locket as he said, "Soon, there will be no one that will get in our way. When that time comes, you will be mine."
After that, he started laughing in a maniacal manner.
It was like he had completely lost his mind.
As for who this person was…
It was the second dungeon raid team leader, the A Ranker, Orson Wright.
