Chapter 710 Oliver The Loyal Hound (2/2)
The Escalon guild was a noruild on the surface that was involved in clean-up operations in the Badlands At least that hat the majority of the populace was made to believe But under the facade of norers dipped in a lot of shady pies
The guild was happy to take on the ns of its own on the White Raven guild It was like getting paid for so one liked to do
Shalen was sent here to find out more about the separate di a close eye on the White Raven guild by staying inside the city
The reason Escalon guild was being cautious this time was because the previous team that was sent to mess with the White Raven team members who had ventured into the Monster Canyon was nowhere to be found

Infighting was disastrous for the business The other faction of House Montmorency understood that fact very well It didn't want to take over a dying business
The excluded faction of House Montmorency wanted the White Raven city to prosper even ht now So that when it takes care of Levine's faction, it would be handed amachine in the foruild was now stuck between a rock and a hard place It couldn't back away froement It could not proceed recklessly with its plan All it could do noas figure out how to destroy theany ripples that uild itself

Shalen Croft was just another pawn in the big leagues' games But she never had such a childhood when she wasn't used as a pawn It was the same shi+t different day for her anyway
"10 9 8 7"
Meeli's emotionless voice was heard by Shalen when she was lost in her thoughts while lying down She had recovered for the most part at this point The frontal clash wasn't an assassin's forte But that didn't make her quit the test At least not yet
