Chapter 34: Will hires guards for ally guilds

For a few moments, silence enveloped in the restaurant as Will declared the outcome like a verdict given by an Emperor.

Looking at them, as Will smiled with satisfaction, Aster continued to speak, "now, our young master will employ 180-200 level guards from the association as soon as our meeting end.

If you wish to employ one or more for yourself, each one costs 10-12 gold. You can pay up 12 gold and we will help you out to hire them."

"12 Gold? Don't you think you are going overboard?"

Green Lantern, Leader of Justice League Guild, stood up in anger as he continues to slander, "so in the end, you are after our money, huh? Hmpf what a scam. I will.."

Before he finishes his sentence, Will interrupted with a cold tone, "just shut up and sit in the corner if you can't even afford it."

As everyone else sneered, Green Lantern's face turned green as he takes back his seat.

Meanwhile, Will continued, "we aren't some charity organization to provide you a high-level guard for free.

You are the one who buys them and employs them. I will be just a medium to do that. If you don't want to increase your guild's strength, it's your problem.

One hour later, we will lock down level 95-100 zone first, and then, proceed to lower levels as our number increases. so, the choice is yours.

Oh, we have already reserved some for our allies. So, only 50 are left for the rest of you."

As everyone stayed silent and hesitate whether to proceed or not, Evernight guild's Vice-leader, Lich King spoke, "I'm sorry but we aren't allies yet. I want to hire five guards but even if we are allies, at this stage, handing over more than 50 gold just like that isn't feasible. I hope you understand my point."

As many of them nodded as they support his statement, Will frowned, "Hmm, that's also true. There can be trust issues. Then, how about this.

I'll wait at the City Administration Building for the next hour.

Those who don't have trust in us or feel like they can't transact such an amount without a discussion with their guild members can just come to city administration building by yourself and select adventurers and then pay me up. I'll take a 10% fee if that was the case.

We'll be professional both on our sides.

Here's a friendly reminder. The guards you are hiring will work only for a week. Now, they work for 40 hours per day and take 8 hours rest but I'm not sure what happens after the update. It might be either 20 per day or 16 hours per day.

So, think carefully and come to me when you decided. Only 50 spots are left. It's the First come, First served basis."

Looking at their expressions, Will secretly smiled as he thought, "once their money is depleted, there will be no competition for me in the upcoming auction."

...

Imperial Guild;

As the guild elites are busy managing the chaos in the guild, White Tiger was reading a message he got from a couple of members who attended the meeting.

Reading the message, he squinted, "so, the person behind everything is Time Traveler and his Scarlet guild, eh? And he wants to eradicate my guild for good? How dare he?

What! He's already a Viscount?

His schemes are indeed praiseworthy but did he think I would be lying down as he cuts my throat, Hmpf. I'll deal with those traitors later."

White Tiger growled, "that mere Internet cafe owner will see the power of my Heibei corporation."

White Tiger immediately called his new Vice-leader, Happy, who was his secretary in real life and ordered her, "Long jing, lower our requirements and recruit the members as more as you can. Also, send 30 gold to Green Lantern.

And don't forget to mention that he needs to return double the amount at all costs two days later as he promised or else they will know the wrath of Imperial."

"That's... Heibei, are you sure about that? We only manage to collect 55 gold overall. Agreements don't exist in this game. If you send that much money..."

As Happy was taken aback hearing about the amount, White Tiger snorted with arrogance, "after the update, I can exchange hundreds of gold with ease. Oh, after the update, put a bounty on Time Traveler. 100,000 credits per kill."

Happy once again gasped hearing the amount but then, nodded silently after looking at White Tiger's expression.

...

Meanwhile, Williard read the message from Green Lantern and Lich King.

"Good job. You can leave for the leveling and plan to form the groups under each guard in this one hour. I'll send you the details of them after sorting out everything."

After sending the message to both of them, Will grinned, "foolish little Tiger." as he proceeded towards the City Administration Building.

Entering the building, he saw Melina, the elf receptionist, and greeted her.

"Hey, Melina."

Looking at him, she immediately stood up and bowed, "welcome, Lord Time Traveler. How may I help you?"

At first, representatives from the ally guilds who bought the slots in advance were surprised to see the change of attitude in this cold receptionist towards Will.

But, then, as they remembered that he is a Viscount, they nodded in understanding. So, as a noble, he will be respected by an NPC everywhere in the kingdom.

"Melina, I'm here to hire the guards. Can you show me the prices..."

A dimple appeared on her cheeks as she smiled, "sure. How many does Lord Traveler wish to hire?"

Will replied as he pointed his finger to others, "they will be the ones to select. I'll hire the guards in my name."

Melina nodded, "sure. Give me a second."

Looking at the prices, Lich King mumbled,

"So in general, level 100 starts with 3 gold, and for every 10 levels up to level-200, one gold will increase."

Then, he looked at Will and asked, "Time Traveler, I wish to hire a level 200 guard, 5 level-110 guards, 2 level-130 guards, and 2 level-150 guards."

Will simply looked at her and said, "you heard him."

A glow appeared in Melina's eyes after hearing a huge transaction as she would get a 10% commission, she replied, "60 gold."

As per the agreement, Lich King sent 66 gold to Williard and he paid 60 gold to Melina who in return said, "please wait for a while. They will be here soon."

After an hour, to his surprise, Will was able to successfully hire a total of 76 guards of which 31 of them are in level 101-120; 12 are in-between level 121-150; 19 are in-between level 151-180; 9 are in-between 181-199, and only 5 of them hired level-200 guards.

...

A grin appeared on his face as Will started to walk towards the exit openly while thousands of players were waiting outside to ambush him.

"Imperial guild, your doom is near."
