44 The Four Great Continents (1/2)
”How's that possible?! Volan is dead? But who killed him?” Terasia was shocked.
”I don't know,” said the guard nervously.
”That's weird, who would want to kill Volan?” said Taros curiously, who happened to be a good friend of Volan Barius. Taros is also one of the ten S-Rank members in the Crimson Tiger Guild.
Although Taros appeared to be calm on the outside, but everyone knows that he's obviously not happy after knowing that his best friend was killed by someone.
”Hmm, don't tell me it's the Blood Moon Guild?” said another S-Ranker in the guild throne room.
Everyone in this city knows that the Blood Moon and the Crimson Tiger Guild doesn't get along well with each other. So when everyone in the throne room heard that Volan was killed by someone, they immediately suspected that it has got to be the Blood Moon Guild doing.
Terasia then looked at the guard and said:
”Did Volan told you guys where he was going before he leaves here?”
”No idea, he just left without a word,”
”And when did he left the guild?” said Terasia to the guard again.
”About two to three weeks ago, I'm not sure the exact time,” replied the guard.
”Hmm, this is going to be hard....” said Terasia while stroking her chin.
”Terasia-sama, do you think the Blood Moon Guild is involved with Volan's death?” said Taros with an angry look on his eyes as he despised the Blood Moon Guild a lot.
”Maybe, but we should still do some investigation on our part first before we do anything stupid,” said Terasia.
Terasia knew Taros is a bad-tempered guy, so she didn't want him to recklessly offend the Blood Moon Guild and bring more trouble later.
As much as Terasia doesn't like the Blood Moon Guild, but she still hopes it's not the case because dealing with the Blood Moon Guild is going to be very difficult. Since after all, the Blood Moon Guild is also one of the top 5 guilds in Azurion City.
In fact, the Blood Moon Guild is slightly stronger than the Crimson Tiger Guild as their guild is Rank 4, while the Crimson Tiger Guild is Rank 5. Meaning that the Blood Moon Guild is one rank higher than the Crimson Tiger Guild in Azurion City.
”Taros, I know you're angry that your best friend was killed by someone, but please don't do anything yet. For now, I want you and Sarona to go investigate more about this matter first and report to me if you managed to find anything,”
Although Taros is furious and wanted to confront the Blood Moon Guild, but he understands that is not a wise thing to do. So for now, he's willing to listen to his guild master and do some investigation first, rather than assuming things without any evidence.
”No problem! Leave this to me Terasia-sama,” said Taros determinedly.
”Alright, good and Sarona you can follow Taros and help him if anything happens,” said Terasia.
The reason why Terasia wanted Sarona to accompany Taros is because Taros always cause problems whenever he's angry. So Sarona's job is to make sure that Taros don't cause any more problems that will affect the guild in the future.
After that, Sarona and Taros then left the guild throne room and begin their investigation on Volan Barius's death.
”Sigh... why did this have to happen now of all time,” said Terasia worriedly.
In general, it's very hard for guilds to recruit any S-Rank Adventurers because the number of S-Rankers in the BlueStar Kingdom is very small. And even if they did manage to find one, it would be very hard to convince them to join since most S-Rankers in general are very picky and demanding.
”Don't worry Terasia-sama, we just need to find another S-Rank Adventurer to join our guild. Although it's going to be hard to find one, but there's still hope so don't give up,” said Tae Won as he's trying to comfort her.
Tae Won is also another S-Rank member in the guild and his power is not much lower as compared to Terasia. Some said that Tae Won might even be stronger than Terasia, but Tae Won is a righteous person, thus he wasn't greedy to compete with Terasia for the guild master seat.
