Chapter 531: Break through 130_5
A tall and robust figure made his way through the crowd, frozen at the sight of Ah Dai and Xuan Yue, both of whom he recognized- it was Zhu Yuan, the Deputy Head of Red Charming Mercenary Group from the Yajin Tribe. Zhu Yuan stepped beside them, enquiring with confusion, "What brings the two of you here? How come you’re free to visit the Mercenary Guild?"
Before allowing Ah Dai and Xuan Yue to respond, the gatekeeper who had previously prevented Xuan Yue from entering interjected, "Deputy Head, this Mage has no proof of identity from a First-Class Mercenary Group or above, yet he insists on entering the Guild Headquarters."
Xuan Yue huffed coldly, arguing, "I am a Special Class Mercenary, my Mercenary Card just needs to be updated. There’s no reason why I can’t enter the Guild."
Zhu Yuan looked surprised, "Oh? You’re a Mercenary as well! There aren’t many Special Class Mercenaries on the continent, I know almost all of them. May I ask, which Mercenary Group do you belong to?"
Ah Dai replied, "We are part of the Evil Sky Mercenary Group. Brother Xuan Re is our group leader, and I am the deputy. We are both Special Class Mercenaries, Brother Xuan Re just hasn’t had the chance to update his card. Forgive us for any misunderstanding."
Zhu Yuan was visibly shaken, "What? You two are the leader and deputy of the Evil Sky Mercenary Group? The same ones who recently helped the Moon Scar Mercenary Group take over the Overlord Mercenary Group with only two men?"
Ah Dai was taken aback, "You’re well-informed! We’ve just returned from Varo City. We haven’t had the chance to visit the Guild headquarters ever since we became mercenaries, so we thought of paying a visit."
Zhu Yuan carefully examined Ah Dai and Xuan Yue, his heart pounding, "How could I not be aware? The emergence of the ’Inevitable Victory’ has always been a major event in the Mercenary World. Besides, challengers to a Special Class Mercenary Group are quite rare. You both have impressive power, the Overlord is not an easy opponent!" The Red Charming Mercenary Group had informants throughout the entire Red Charming Clan. When Lian Dan and Zhu Yuan found out about the alliance between the Moon Scar Mercenary Group and the Overlord Mercenary Group, they were shocked. This combined force was threatening to taint the status of the Red Charming Mercenary Group. The catalyst turned out to be none other than these two young beings before him, reportedly the Evil Sky Mercenary Group’s leader and deputy. Zhu Yuan was truly fond of Ah Dai and Xuan Yue, Xuan Yue especially, as he was the only love of his fellow student Di Ya. Taking a deep breath, he said to the gatekeeper, "The leader and deputy of the Evil Sky Mercenary Group are indeed Special Class Mercenaries, you don’t have to stop them. Brothers, let’s go inside and talk. Everyone else, please disperse." No matter what Ah Dai and Xuan Yue came for, he was going to try and win them over. After all, maintaining their reputation as the Number One Mercenary Group on the continent hadn’t been easy for the Red Charming Mercenary Group. As the deputy head, naturally, he wanted to resolve any threats. Ah Dai and Xuan Yue’s arrival seemed like a great opportunity to learn more about the Moon Scar Mercenary Group.
Ah Dai gave him a slight smile, "Thank you, Deputy Head."
Zhu Yuan smiled back and said, "Don’t be so formal, brother. As deputy heads, we should get to know each other better. Come on, let me show you around."
Zhu Yuan led Ah Dai and Xuan Yue into the Mercenary Guild Headquarters. Although it had only been a few days since the ’Inevitable Victory’ in Varo City, the Evil Sky Mercenary Group had already become a fabled story in the Mercenary World. Some even said that the two of them possessed the power of a Superior Mercenary Group, and upon seeing these legends in flesh, a notable number of mercenaries approached them for a chat.
"Deputy Head Ah Dai, how did you single-handedly defeat 500 members of the Overlord Mercenary Group? Have you already obtained the strength of a Sword Saint?"
"Group Leader Xuan Re, seeing your impressive strength, why wouldn’t you call upon more mercenaries to join the Evil Sky Mercenary Group? If you guys did that, your power would increase significantly."
"Group Leader Ah Dai, what exactly is the relationship between your Evil Sky Mercenary Group and the Moon Scar Mercenary Group? Why did you decide to help them out? If you allow me, I’d like to join the Evil Sky Mercenary Group." Most of these inquiring people were junior mercenaries who, like Olivia and Kino, had entered using a special permit token.
Facing these queries, Ah Dai and Xuan Yue became annoyed. However, being new to these parts, they couldn’t afford to upset the mercenaries here, so they endured the irritation and started to walk towards the Mercenary Guild Headquarters.
