BXBX NOVEL Chapter 99 Responsibility
Isaac entered the Guild Master\'s office. A messy desk with documents that piled up high, Wang Yi seemed immersed in her temporary job. Since her sister had not returned from the dungeon, she was the one who had taken over the position of Guild Master now, even though the nameplate on the table still read, \'Director Wang Mei.\'
After the Clearance with the Siberian Knights and Black Dragon guilds, Wang Mei made the decision to raid without her sister.
If the two of them went to the dungeon together and something bad happened, then both of them would die. It would cause Nine Sky to fall into the hands of strangers.
Wang Yi said that her sister was still quite traumatized by the Clearance tragedy that killed 800 of her men. Because of that, Nine Sky almost went bankrupt. A lot of money was used to cover the compensation for the families of the victims. Besides, she had to burn money again for the recruitment of new members.
"Sit down, Brother. I\'m sorry if I can\'t focus one hundred percent on you. There is a lot of work to be done. Please, make yourself comfortable."
Isaac wouldn\'t complain. He understood the situation Wang Yi was in. What the woman did was for her own good.
"So, how long has your sister and the other members been on the raid to the Tianjin dungeon?" Isaac asked.
Wang Yi didn\'t answer right away. Her attention was divided. Her eyes that had dark circles were still fixed on the sheet of paper she was holding.
"It\'s been almost three weeks. She raided together with the Phoenix Armada and Crimson Dawn. Until now, there has been no news from them."
In contrast to the usual Clearance, which had a time limit, this raid did not have a time limit; it could be several hours to days. It depended on the party leader\'s decision.
However, if the raid took more than 72 hours, they would normally make contact with the outside to make sure they were still alive. At least every three or seven days.
Meanwhile, Wang Mei and her men, along with the other two major guild members had not made any contact at all, even though they had been in the dungeon for the past three weeks.
Something happened to them, but the government had not taken any action.
The woman fiddled with the pen in her hands. She tried to brush away her anxiety by playing with the pen.
Isaac then touched her hand. Their eyes met. "Calm down. You don\'t have to worry. Your sister is still alive."
Those words made Wang Yi feel better. For some reason, she felt he could trust the man. Then, a smile bloomed on her face.
"Thank you, Brother Isaac."
Isaac then let go of his touch.
What he said wasn\'t bullshit, or just trying to calm the woman\'s feelings. Isaac could still feel Guo Chen\'s existence in his head. The Seed of Mind was still embedded in the man\'s head. If he were to die, Isaac wouldn\'t be this calm.
Although it did not guarantee whether Wang Mei survived or not. However, given that woman\'s innate skill, Isaac was sure the Demon Lord would have a hard time dealing with her.
"Well, you\'re right, Brother. My sister went on a raid with two major guilds. There\'s no way they can die so easily."
Isaac was then curious about the Phoenix Armad and Crimson Dawn. He had heard of those two major guild names in his previous life. He remembered that there were even Six Stars hunters who had joined Crimson Dawn.
However, Isaac didn\'t know what kind of person the man was because he had never met him in person.
"Phoenix Armad and Crimson Dawn. If I remember correctly there was a Six Stars who was in one of those guilds, right?"
Wang Yi raised one of her eyebrows, but her face still looked flat.
"Right. He is a veteran hunter who used to work for the government with his brother. He is He Dong. People nicknamed him the One Man Army because of his fire magic that could kill thousands of monsters. That man is one of China\'s pride."
Isaac nodded. Now he understood why the government didn\'t take action even though Wang Mei and the other guilds were lost in the dungeon.
\'Two Six Stars and three major guilds. Of course, the government is not taking action in a hurry. They think these humans can handle it.\'
Even so, Isaac felt something was off.
A long sigh escaped his mouth.
Isaac knew that this joint raid would happen, but he didn\'t take it seriously. Because for him, this was not an important event.
In his previous life, the combined raid was only carried out by Phoenix Armada and Crimson Dawn. As a result, they returned in a battered condition. Phoenix Armada lost half of their members, while Crimson Dawn lost their hero, He Dong. Even if they all died, there was no significant effect on Isaac.
However, now it was different.
There was a small change in the events of his previous life and his current life. The change was Guo Chen and Wang Mei\'s involvement in the raid on the Tianjin dungeon.
If the outcome of this event was the same as before, there was a possibility that the entire guilds would be wiped off, including Nine Sky. Moreover, there was a possibility that his mainstay weapon against the demon, Guo Chen, was also killed.
Of course, this wasn\'t good news for Isaac. The plan he had prepared could be crushed before it could even begin.
\'There is no other choice.\'
Isaac took another deep breath. Wang Yi, who had been busy reading the words on the document, glanced at Isaac.
"Wang Yi, how many hunters do you currently have?"
The woman narrowed her eyes. "100 people. Some are being lent by other guilds to help with the dungeon breaks, and some are still mining Power Crystal in the dungeon in Beijing. Meanwhile, there are only 20 Hunters currently standing by. Why do you ask, Brother?" A confused expression appeared on her face.
"We\'re going on an evacuation mission," Isaac replied.
Wang Mei\'s two eyes opened wide.
"We need 50 hunters. I don\'t care what rank they are. I will choose my own members to go with me."
Wang Yi let out a sigh, the air blowing through between her teeth. "I agree, but… Brother, I have to stay in the headquarters while my sister goes to the dungeon, and vice versa. I\'m sure they\'re fine as you said."
Her hand gripped the pen tightly. Wang Yi was really in a dilemma. On one side, she wanted to go pick up her sister, and on the other side, she had to do her responsibilities here.
Isaac then began to convince Wang Yi by tell what a homunculus was; about what creatures they really were and how they were created. Wang Yi was instantly shocked to hear the story. She knew about the existence of the homunculus in the Tianjin dungeon, but she had no idea how they came to be.
"Homunculus… I don\'t think they were created that way. My stubborn sister is in danger. We also need to warn others."
Isaac nodded. "Right, we need to make sure of the danger in the Tianjin dungeon…" He shook his head. "… We need to save them."
He looked into Wang Yi\'s eyes. The woman squeezed her hands on the table. She felt that what Isaac said was true.
Bam!
Wang Yi then slammed her hand onto the table.
Her gaze was fixed on Isaac.
"Brother, I will call the hunters who are ready to go to Tianjin."
Isaac smiled in satisfaction. "Good. Do it as soon as possible."
Wang Yi nodded. Then, she grabbed the phone that was on the table and went to do her job.
Of course, Isaac had no intention of saving them at all. His goal was to make sure Guo Chen and the human army returned safely.
\'Guo Chen is strong, but there is a chance that he will die in the raid. I won\'t let him die before I can use him.\'
Just as Isaac was focused on his own thoughts and Wang Yi was busy with the phone, there was a knock on the door.
Knock! Knock!
Wang Yi asked the person to come in. A man with tan skin and black hair like a fleece entered the room. He grimaced as he lowered his head. Wang Yi quickly hung up the phone.
"Oh, Aditya, you have returned from India. I thought you\'d be back in two days."
"Yes, my mother\'s condition has improved, so I can return to China sooner. It\'s not good if I leave for too long." Then the man\'s attention was drawn to Isaac. "Instructor! Long time no see."
A smile then appeared on Isaac\'s face. "You came at the right time."
The man called Aditya narrowed his eyes. He had just arrived, but he suddenly got caught up in something.
