Chapter 867 - Old Friend (1/2)

The reason I am ecstatic is that Station No. 3 is in the same region as Milfred.

The distance between Region 3 and Milfred is not small, and travel would be quite dangerous but if I took the risk then I might be able to reach Milfred in one and half days with my current fastest speed, and if I took the help from Ashlyn, it would be even sooner.

”There is still a whole day and night, don't worry, all the doors have not closed yet, seeing how unfair the mission is somebody will help,” Stephen said, misreading my serious expression to that of feeling helpless.

”There is no need, I am confident I will return alive.” I said with a soft smile. The people who sent this death mission to me are very powerful. No matter how much Stephan tries, he will not be able to change anything, and it's not like there is a 100% chance I'll die during the mission.

There is quite a high chance that I will return alive. I have a killing rule and Ashlyn as long as I remain careful, I will be fine, and if I am lucky, then I would return as Nine Star Golden Elite.

Stephan looked like he wanted to say something, but he didn't, he just closed his open mouth and fell into his thoughts.

He is also clearly aware that the problem that could even Vice Guildmaster referred to as 'come from above' is from either Guild Master or those above him, and he did not have power or connections to convince such powerful people.

As for the Impartial Rules of the Guild, that is a facade. As long as one has enough power, they can do whatever the f.u.c.k they want without care for the rules.

After some time of silence, Stephen forwarded me the rest of the Mission details. This mission is not an immediate one. I will have to board the Military airship tomorrow at Dawn.

That airship will take me to Hidden Camp, and from there I would be teleported to the area that is close to the Station from there I will start my Mission of Gathering intelligence.

”We have also received the Mission, this time we have to destroy the Six Camps of the Grimm Monsters, like yours this mission is also a month-long,” Stephan said with a heavy sigh as they transferred the mission details to me.

Six Camps! It is quite a dangerous mission for the team like ours, which is understaffed. Destroying two or three missions is fine, but continually destroying six camps, it's very dangerous.

As with each mission, strain on one keeps increasing till it starts to affect one's performance. It was a good thing all my team members are quite experienced and well able to handle the stress, but what about rookies.

Our former team leader said that some rookies would be joining the team, the continued six missions would be a death warrant for them, no wonder Stephan looked stressed.
