Battle of Ascension

Chapter 368: The Meeting

Randy recognized the three men in the golden armor. Even though he was not that close with the three when the three became the supervisor of Evergreen City, but at the least, they were an acquaintance, right?

Chris snorted to show how displeased he was while Ron and Garam just stayed silent. Randy ignored the displeased Chris and walked to the right room.

After delivering the three men to the room, Risa went out as Marlin and the two skeletons stayed. They were watching over the three men in the golden armor.

Randy rolled his eyes at how these three behaved. Since the assault incident, they felt guilty and in the last three days, they also dispatched their subordinate to protect his mom, his dad, his wife, his mama-in-law, Mika, Auntie Hellen, Widi's family, and all Happy Guild core members' family.

Even they wanted to become his 24 hours bodyguard. Of course, Randy refused but these three changed their target. They kept on watch on his daughter, Aveline. Yes, as they felt there was no need for them to protect Randy, so the three were guarding his daughter in the dark.

Now, there was a guest who had the potential to be hostile to their master. They did not feel relieved for leaving Randy alone with the three golden armored guards.

"Alright, you guys can leave now!" Randy waved his hand at the trio who was still watching the three golden armored guards fervently. If he did not ask them to leave, maybe they would not leave.

He asked them to escort Risa, just in case the representatives were a bit aggressive, not to protect him. Hearing Randy's words, the trio left the room. However, their eyes never left Chris, Ron, and Garam as they left the room. They seemed giving a warning to the three armored guards.

Just as the trio left the room, Risa entered once again while bringing a tray with four cups drink on it. She served the drink, but just as Risa wanted serving the cup to Garam, Randy stopped her.

"Mr. Garam does not like it, " Randy shook his head and he took a jug of wine from his System Storage, then he threw the jug to Garam.

Garam caught the wine and he smelled the wine inside the jug before giving a nod with a slight smile to Randy. Randy learned this when Garam still became Evergreen City's supervisor. Garam was a regular customer of Happy Wine.

Risa took the cup back which supposed to be given to Garam and put the cup beside Randy's. After that, she took a seat beside Randy and took out a note.

Randy turned his head toward Risa and could not help but asked, "What are you doing?"

"Taking note of course, " Risa replied naturally. After that, she took a sip from the cup that she just placed beside Randy's. That of drink became hers now.

Randy shrugged and just let her be. He turned his head toward the three representatives of the Ascension Guild.

"The Ascension Guild send you guys because we know each other and I know, you guys also do not like with a useless chit chat. So, we just directly get to the main topic. Why do you want to meet me?"

Randy started the talk, he spoke frankly and candidly. He talked like they were a close friend.

When he talked about this, the three gold armored guards became serious.

However, instead of getting the answer from three, he got a nudge from his right side. It was Risa who nudge him and she spoke in a low voice to Randy.

"Boss, can you be more formal? This is an official meeting, moreover, they are from Ascension Guild, " Risa reminded Randy. She really did not know Randy well and this was the second day after their first meeting.

"Just do your job properly, " Randy rolled his eyes and waved his hand lightly at Risa.

"Alright then, " Finally, Risa stopped bothering Randy and only focused on her note.

"We demand an explanation from Happy Guild!" Ron deep and solemn voice flowed into Randy's ears.

Randy blinked his eyes for a moment, appearing to be innocent and ignorant. His expression was telling the three armored guards that he did not understand what they asked him.

"Pardon!?!?"

"Heh, you should know what we want or... Are you declaring war against the Ascension Guild?" Chris sneered at Randy. He really disliked Randy who pretended to know nothing and he did not forget to bring the name of Ascension Guild to threaten Randy.

But Chris was wrong if he thought the Ascension Guild name could make Randy waver.

The ignorant Randy smiled, smiling brightly instead of growing scared under the threat Chris.

"First, a mere golden armored guard like you would never be able to take a decision for Ascension Guild. Second, The Ascension Guild will not be able to declare war to the Battle of Ascension participants like me or my guild. Third, I am not afraid of the Ascension Guild, so"

"Your threat is useless to me. You are wrong if you think I am scared of the Ascension Guild, " Randy shrugged. He appeared nonchalant and relaxed, showing he was really not scared of the Ascension Guild. Even though Chris wanted to use the name of the Ascension Guild to intimidate and threaten him, Randy did not feel offended or anything.

"You" Chris infuriated and he had his finger pointed at Randy, but Ron stopped. Ron knew it was useless to use a hard way to talk to Randy. He prevented Chris to continue.

Meanwhile, Risa gave an admiration look at Randy. 'Maybe only Boss and Happy Guild who dared say that he does not fear the Ascension Guild,'

"But the Ascension Guild can make a move to a violator like you who have violated East City's regulation. Based on your offense, Ascension Guild can send their men to catch you or even kill you. So, you have to give an explanation to assist in the investigation. If you really violate the regulation, the Ascension Guild can make move on you! But if you do not violate the regulation or your action is justifiable, then the Ascension Guild is always on your side!"

Ron appeared to be explaining and talking with a good intention, but actually, it was the same as Chris. They were really trying to intimidate and scared him with the Ascension Guild. This was why he did not like a formal meeting like this, words war and mental war. He really did not like this kind of talk.

"Basically, you are coming here only to ask an explanation from me?" Randy responded.

Looking Randy who appeared to be relenting, Ron smiled and nodded his head. He thought his words were working to intimidate Randy and it was indeed, they came here only with that intention, and wanted to know what was the Happy Guild stance to the Ascension Guild.

"Then does it mean the Ascension Guild also has to give me an explanation too? Don't you really know what happened here three days ago? Don't you also know what happened at the Happy Guild's headquarter in East City?"

Instead of giving what Ron wanted, Randy responded firmly and strongly. There was no sign of Randy would give them what they wanted to, but he already showed his stance toward the Ascension Guild. He would never bow his head toward the Ascension Guild.

Garam frowned after hearing this. Not only Garam, Chris and Ron also had a confused look. They came here only to ask an explanation and maybe if Randy admitted and apologized, then gave compensation for the deceased, the Ascension Guild would pursue the matter.

After all, Happy Guild was the strongest guild in East City and East Region. So, the Ascension Guild would not punish the Happy Guild blindly if the Happy Guild admitted and apologized. At least, this was what the trio thought was.

However, they only knew Randy killed the guard and they did not know the chronology behind Randy's action for killing six guards. They caught off guard by Randy firm respond.

"Are you sure you will take this way? You shall think the people under you too and do not let your heart affect your mind. You should look at the big picture. You are a leader of many people!" Garam who always stayed silent finally spoke. He was reminding Randy that his opponent was not an easy opponent.

Randy realized Chris and Ron did not know anything behind the incident. It was only Garam who knew what happened.
