Chapter 194: Chapter 43: Sword Saint of the Tian Gang_5
Mie Feng, who had become the owner of the uncle, walked up to Mie Feng and respectfully said, "President, the failure of this task was entirely due to my mistakes. If I hadn’t sent the fourth brother to test whether the young man was a descendant of Hades, he wouldn’t have died. Please punish me."
The president of the Thieves Guild stood up, his whole body shrouded in black clothes and a bamboo hat on his head with a green veil flowing down, obscuring his face. "Brother Li, you can’t be blamed for this incident. If I were there, I would have tested the depth of that young man too. You don’t need to argue over whose mistake it was. I’m very saddened by the fourth brother’s death, but your mission was not a failure. On the contrary, it was very successful. Not only did the employer pay us the promised commission, but he also added an extra five thousand diamond coins. Consider these diamonds as your compensation for this journey."
Mie Feng was taken aback, "Dad, what are you talking about? We completed the mission? But we only captured sixteen elves! The quantity did not meet the employer’s requirements."
The tone of the president of the Thieves Guild softened slightly, "No, you have already completed the mission. Do you know? Among the sixteen elves you captured, one has the bloodline of the Elf King, meaning she is the daughter of the Elf King. Having her alone is equivalent to a hundred ordinary elves. Although we lost a lot of men this time, you have brought a lot of benefits to the organization. Over the years, you have done countless great services for the guild, you are my good brothers. Without you, there would be no Thieves Guild today. This way, I will give you a year off so that you can rest well. As for recruiting new members, I will find someone to do it."
Mie Feng anxiously said, "Dad, what about the murderer who killed Uncle Four? Are we just going to let him go?" The man surnamed Li next to her pulled her back, "Mie Feng, don’t say anything more. Even though everyone is saddened by fourth brother’s death, the person who killed him has a close relationship with the Assassin’s Guild, which we cannot afford to offend."
Mie Feng responded with agitation, "No matter how powerful the Assassin’s Guild is, they cannot kill our people for no reason! Have we not provided them with a lot of information over the years?"
The president raised his hand to stop Mie Feng from speaking further, speaking lightly, "The fourth brother’s death will not be in vain, I will seek justice from the Assassin’s Guild. Although they are stronger than us, as part of the dark forces, they should still give me some face. What I find strange is why Hades gave his protective treasure, the Sword of Hades, to his disciple. You can rest now. I will take care of this matter."
Hearing that the president was going to seek justice for the dead owner, gratitude was expressed in the eyes of the five older owners. They didn’t say anything more and silently retreated. Only the president and Mie Feng were left in the room. Mie Feng removed the veil from her face and said, "Dad, Uncle Four cannot die in vain. Let me go. As long as I find the murderer, I will definitely kill him."
The president said with a touch of anger, "Haven’t you caused enough trouble for me? Don’t you understand the saying that there are always people beyond people? The first rule of our Thieves Guild is not to kill. As my daughter, do you want to break this rule?" He sighed, then continued saying, "I know you had a deep bond with Uncle Four, but some things cannot be handled well with rash actions. You are my only daughter, what would I do if anything happens to you? Enough, you don’t need to involve yourself in this matter anymore. I will inquire about it from the Assassin’s Guild. I’ll notify you if there’s any news. You may leave now."
