Chapter 931: Chapter 43 Sword Saint of the Tian Gang_5
Mie Feng, who had become the uncle’s captor, walked up to Mie Feng and said respectfully, "Guild leader, the failure of this mission was all due to my mistake. If I hadn’t let the fourth go test whether that young man was a descendant of Hades, he wouldn’t have died. Please punish me."
The president of the Thieves’ Guild stood up, his entire body shrouded in black clothing, with a bamboo hat fringed with blue gauze on his head, rendering his face unseeable. "Brother Li, you can’t be blamed for this incident. If I were at the scene, I would have tested the young man as well. There’s no need to argue over whose fault it was. I am also saddened by the death of the fourth, but your mission wasn’t a failure. On the contrary, it was very successful. The client not only paid us the initially agreed-upon fee but also added an extra five thousand diamond coins. Consider these five thousand diamond coins as your reward for this mission."
Mie Feng was startled, "Dad, what are you saying? We completed the mission? But we only captured sixteen elves! We didn’t meet the client’s requirement for the number."
The president of the Thieves’ Guild softened his voice, "No, you have indeed completed the mission. Did you know? Among the sixteen elves you captured, one of them has the bloodline of the Elf King, meaning she is the daughter of the Elf King. Having her alone is equivalent to having a hundred ordinary elves. Although we lost quite a few men, you also brought significant benefits to the organization. Over the years, you have earned countless merits for the organization and are all my dear brothers. Without you, there would be no Thieves’ Guild today. Here’s what we’ll do: I am giving you a year off. You can take a good rest. As for recruiting new members, I will find someone to handle it."
Mie Feng said anxiously, "Dad, what about the murderer who killed Uncle Four? Are we just going to let him go?" The captor surnamed Li beside her held her back, "Feng’er, stop talking. Although everyone is saddened by the death of the fourth, the person who killed him is closely related to the Assassin’s Guild, and they are not someone we can afford to provoke."
Mie Feng, agitated, said, "No matter how powerful the Assassin’s Guild is, they shouldn’t kill our people without reason! Haven’t we provided them with plenty of information over the years?"
The president raised his hand to prevent Mie Feng from continuing, and said indifferently, "The fourth will not die in vain. I will seek justice from the Assassin’s Guild. Although they are stronger than us, as fellow dark forces, they will give me some respect. I find it very strange why Hades would give his protective treasure, the Sword of Hades, to his disciple. You all go rest. I will handle this matter."
Upon hearing that the president would seek justice for their deceased captor, the five older captors all showed a grateful expression. They said nothing more and quietly left the room. Only the president and Mie Feng were left. Mie Feng removed the veil from her face and said, "Dad, Uncle Four must not die in vain. Let me go. As long as I find that murderer, I will surely kill him."
The president said in slight anger, "Haven’t you caused enough trouble already? Don’t you understand that there are always bigger fish? The first rule of the Thieves’ Guild is not to kill. As my daughter, do you want to break that rule?" He sighed, then continued, "I know you were very close to the fourth, but some things can’t be handled impulsively. You are my only daughter. What would I do if something happened to you? That’s enough, you shouldn’t interfere in this matter anymore. I will talk to the Assassin’s Guild and find out what happened. I will inform you if there’s any news. Go now."
