197 Guild Master and Rulf 2 (2/2)

”Haha, you will be shocked if you knew his background, but you don't go in his way,” the guild master laughed as he shook his head.

”Master, what is his backgr…,”

”Just leave that matter for now. Let's discuss the 'Strongest Five' event. How are the preparations going on?”

Before Rulf could finish his words, the guild master stood up from his chair and interjected Rulf's words but changing the subject to 'The strongest five' event that was conducted by them.

”Yes, guild master. I have arranged all the things for the event; However, due to the sudden sightings of the demon servants, I put the event on hold,” Rulf didn't ask about Edmond's background and explained about the event's preparation.

”Good. Put the event in hold until we clear the appeared demon servants. Also, take some rest. You are looking way too tired,” The guild master nodded his head and advised Rulf to take some rest.

”Yes, Guildmaster,” Rulf took his master's advice and left the room slowly.

Although Rulf called the old man as guild master most of the time, they were a master-follower pair.

However, their bond was more than that.

Originally, Rulf was an orphan who was always bullied by other children.

One day, the guild master noticed him while passing through his village and took pity on him.

He gave him food and taught various cultivation and fighting techniques.

Seeing the care of the guild master towards him, he saw his father in the guild master who was passed away when he was eight years old.

So, he didn't go against the guild master's words until now. Whatever the guild master says, he would do it gladly without any hesitation.

'What are you planning now Edmond, by sending two young ones int the never-returning cave?' After Rulf left his room, the guild master silently thought in his head.

'Since you sent them into the cave, that shows you are confident in them. I will see what will they do after they return. Will they do the same thing as you did in the past?' the guild master continued to think about the never-returning cave that he was obsessed with, for a few years now.

Although he wasted so much time trying to solve the secret behind the never-returning cave, he thought it was worth the time for him.

...…..

Outside the Guildmaster's room,

'I wonder what is the background of Edmond that made even the guild master to not to reveal?' Rulf, who left the guild master's room, pondered about the background of Edmond along the way to his room.

'Is it really powerful? The guild master has only a few opponents in the Zrochestor province. So, Edmond might be from one of those few opponents' sects or families,' he shook his head and left to the room.

Those opponents were mostly the grand elders of the sects and people from the Royal family.

So, Rulf immediately related Edmond to those people and stopped thinking about Edmond since he couldn't really make him reveal the secrets about the cave if he was related to those people.
