Chapter 382: Merchant Guild Master (1/2)

By this point, you would guess that she was also a busty woman, but that isn't the case. She's as flat as a chopping board. It was a wonder how she became a receptionist.

”I would like to meet the City Lord,” Kenova replied.

”The City Lord?” The receptionist blinked her eyes at him in surprise.

”Is there a problem?” Kenova asked.

”Are you here to ask for help?” The receptionist asked.

”I'm here under the Third Princess' orders,” Kenova said and showed her Humility's medallion.

”T-The Third Princess!? Alright! I will go call the City Lord!”

The receptionist panicked and took the medallion with her to show it to the City Lord.

They didn't wait for long before the receptionist came back panting.

”F-Follow me!”

They followed behind her as she led them through the vast hallway of the merchant guild. Compared to the somewhat busy lobby of the Merchant Guild, this part of the guild was quiet.

The receptionist led them left and right before she stopped in front of a door.

*Knock* *Knock* *Knock*

”Guild Master, the envoy of the Third Princess, is here,” the receptionist said through the door.

”Enter,” a deep male voice replied.

The receptionist opened the door and made way for Lawrend's group.

Lawrend took a step back and waited for Kenova to go first before he followed him inside. It would be weird if the envoy weren't in the lead.

Inside the room was a large room. There were large maps on the three sides of the walls of the room. In the center was a serious-looking man wearing eyeglasses.

He was sitting on an office table as he stared at Kenova. He looked to be in his 25's, and Lawrend thought of him as a formidable nerd.

”Envoy, what is your business here?” the Guild Master asked.

”The Third Princess wants me to oversee and become this city's City Lord,” Kenova replied and stood forward.

He was a proud member of his clan. He wouldn't be intimidated by a City Lord.

”Hm? This is the medallion, right?” the Guild Master asked and lifted the medallion Humility gave him.

”Yes. She entrusted that to me.”

”Are you sure you didn't pick this up on the street?” the Guild Master asked skeptically.

”Before I answer that question, who are you?” Kenova asked.

It was hard for him to judge who this Guild Master in front of them was.

”Ah. My apologies. My name is Von Gavan. I'm the 75th Guild Master of the Merchant Guild Branch of Passage City, and also the current City Lord of this city,” Von introduced himself.

”City Lord Von Gavan, as I said earlier, I would like to take your position,” Kenova said.

”Do you have any proof that the Third Princess really said those words?” Von asked with squinted eyes.
