The promised day to meet Toh had finally arrived. That morning, I received a level up message.
”Nice.”
I hadn't returned to Macau after accepting Toh's offer. Instead, I spent the week training in Khufu's Pyramid dungeon and even managed to raise my level by five.
”It sure was smart to buy that item.” The Fallen Royalty Necklace was really helping. It only boosted my EXP gain by 5%, but it added up the more monsters I hunted.
”Open Stats Menu.”

Shaman Ko's Roulette Wheel was still giving me 3 stat points a day.
”Well, I should put all of my unassigned points into STR.” Still intent on getting my STR over 10,000, I transferred all 214 points into STR. As I looked over my Stats Menu, I received a call from the Myth Guild.
”Mr. Lee.”
”Yes.”
”The plane to Macau is set to leave in one hour. We should start getting ready.”
”Understood. I'll be right there.”
I and three hundred guild members were going to go to Macau. It was too much for the Messenger Guild to teleport us all at once, so we decided to rent a plane instead.
”I shouldn't keep them all waiting.” I quickly left the dungeon and headed back to base. I washed up and got ready.
-------
Myth Guild's command center…
”0.1%, you say?”
”Yes sir. He said he could reach level 600 within the hour.”
”Hmm…” Ebonene was chosen to go with Lee Jiwon as the captain of the accompanying guild members. ”Very well. Let him stay behind, and we'll go with the remaining 299 guards.”
”Yes sir. I'll let everyone else know.”
At first, Ebonene thought to replace the guard with someone else, but decided against it. It would just be a waste of more manpower and it wasn't like a single guard could make that much of a difference. -No one in their right mind would make Lee Jiwon and the Myth Guild their enemies at the same time. Besides, there are way too many eyes on Lee Jiwon. It would be foolish to try anything now.-
The Cheng Long Guild and the Laura Guild were already threatening the San Tuan Guild's authority. Ebonene believed it wouldn't hurt to accept Toh's offer, but he did have his suspicions and advised Lee Jiwon to take guards with him. It should be fine if one guard didn't go.
-Well, we do have reinforcements at the ready, so it should be fine.-
And so, exactly three hundred people got on the plane for Macau. Five hours later, they crossed the Sai Van Bridge and arrived at Macau Tower.
------
”How many of them are here?” The San Tuan Guild was busy. When Toh and Wanhu first heard that Lee Jiwon was not coming alone and with Myth Guild guards, they believed that they had lost all hope. However, when they heard reports that the number of guards was supposed to be small, they had their Intelligence Division check in every hour to find out the exact number.
”Three hundred, sir! There are exactly three hundred!”
”What?”
”Are you sure about that?” Toh and Wanhu shouted at the same time.
”Yes. The headcount of the people that just got off the plane from Cairo is exactly three hundred, including Lee Jiwon. We checked again when they crossed the Sai Van Bridge,” said Qing.
Their Flytrap could only work on a maximum of three hundred people. If Lee Jiwon had brought another person, their trap wasn't going to activate. It was an issue the San Tuan Guild could not fix.
”Ha…have the heavens not forsaken us yet?”
”The Goddess of Victory is with us!”
Toh and Wanhu were ecstatic. This was the best news they heard in a whole month.
”Qing!”
”Yes, sir?”
”The Goddess of Victory smiles upon us today. Make sure all preparations are in order. We have only one chance at this!”
”Yes, sir.”
”Wang Choong!”
”Yes sir.”
”Have your men properly spread out so they can use Bind effectively. We must not lose him again.”
”Yes, sir.”
”Good. Let's go! Our chance for revenge is finally here. Once we Bind him, do not let him go. We'll make him pay dearly for his mistakes against us for a long, long time!”
”Yes, sir!”
------
The whole atmosphere of Macau had changed after a week.
”The San Tuan Guild had been going around saying for the past week that everything between you guys was all a misunderstanding and that there would be no more fighting.”
”I see.” I nodded at what Ebonene just told me. I had stayed in the dungeon for the whole week and had no idea that had happened.
We quickly crossed the Sai Van Bridge for Macau Tower.
-Do they really wish to have a truce and fork over a Rank 8 item?-
I still could not trust Toh and Wanhu completely. I turned to Ebonene. ”Can I ask you something?”
”What is it?”
”If this really does turn out to be a trap…”
Ebonene chuckled. ”That's why we brought elite guards with us. Oh, but do keep this a secret. We have about 500 mercenaries from a company we've trusted in the past and 200 other Myth Guild guards hiding in the Macau Tower's vicinity. If the San Tuan Guild really does have an ulterior motive, then they make an enemy of the Myth Guild, as well.”
”Damn!” I was amazed at this man's foresight. ”Thank you.”
”You are the Myth Guild's most precious ally. It's the least we can do,” Ebonene said, smiling.
We continued to talk some more and soon arrived in front of the Macau Tower. Toh, Wanhu, and guards from the San Tuan Guild were standing in front of the tower's entrance. I also noticed that, to our left and right, members of the Cheng Long Guild and other devas had gathered and were leisurely watching us.
”I see Wai Chung, the guild master of the Cheng Long Guild, is here as well.”
At Ebonene's remark, I looked over and I saw the man from the Hive auction over at end to the right. At that moment, Toh and Wanhu began walking towards us.
”I, Toh, co-guild master of the San Tuan Guild, have arranged this meeting to put an end to this pointless fighting that started over a small misunderstanding. Do you, Lee Jiwon, agree to prevent further bloodshed from both sides?”
We had already discussed how to act a week ago. I stepped forward as well. ”I do. I also wish to prevent further losses to both sides over a simple misunderstanding.” That was all I had to say.
”Perfect. Then let it be known that from this day forth, the San Tuan Guild and Lee Jiwon are no longer enemies!”
The San Tuan Guild's members behind Toh cheered.

The day before the meet, Wai Chung had visited Toh and Wanhu.
