Today, five over 6 feet tall figures followed by a figure with 5'2 height entered the Dark City, and all of them were wearing black mantles like any average person in the dark city.
Those six didn't seem too interested in strolling as they hailed three taxis and soon arrived at the alchemy guild and entered it without giving another extra glance.
However, at the edge of the alchemy guild building square, a pair of blue eyes were following their vanishing silhouettes like a hawk.
He suddenly whispered, which could only be heard by him, "Those six seemed to be not ordinary."
Just as his voice was suppressed under the bustling crowd, a clear, crisp voice rang in his ear, "Who? Everyone looks the same to me."
"Hehe, Boss was again staring at some chick's ass." Another perverted voice chimed in.
"Shut up! You still have the mood to joke around?" The blue eyes boss chided in the same whispering voice.
"Fuck, the Boss is really serious this time. It seemed the bounty of 5,000 ZC finally made our easy-go-lucky Boss serious." Another male voice rang in astonishment.
A hint of helplessness flashed past the Boss's blue eyes, "It's not so easy. I'm pretty sure I'm not the only one here to scout the target. I can even smell that Tiger Killer's nasty stench from here. This bounty won't be easy to get our hands on."
"You are right about that, Boss. We've been here daily, but the 'informative' still didn't contact us despite taking our money. Do you think he scammed us?" The crisp voice rang in the complaint.
The Boss's eyes narrowed dangerously, "His contact info came with the commission, so it can't be fake. We just need to be patient. Do you think the commission reward of the rare plain's history is so easy to claim?"
"How about I try to infiltrate the higher floors and search for the target?" A deep husky voice suggested at this moment.
The Boss rejected it without hesitation, "No, we can't reveal ourselves. According to the mission, the moment we were discovered, we will be abandoned by the bank. The alchemy guild is not to be trifled with. Almost all of our technology came from them, so their home base security will be top-notch.
"Don't you remember what happened to the infamous thief of the rare plains when he tried to rob the treasury of the alchemy guild? He wasn't even passed first-floor security before he was caught snooping!"
"Then what should we do?" A woman asked in worry.
"We'll wait!" The Boss said matter-of-factly as a cold glint flashed past his eyes as he continued to observe like a venomous snake waiting for his prey.
pαпdα`noνɐ1`сoМ While many mercenaries were secretly camping in the Alchemy Guild's main entrance.
The six newcomers quickly passed the security clearance and reached the highest floor, where they were blocked by Senior Grandmaster Bart and Senior Grandmaster Otto.
Both old men had this strange stiff smile on their faces as they bowed slightly in front of the 5'2 feet tall person in front of the group.
They greeted in unison, "Grandmaster Magic Smith, Orville, welcome back."
Although this seemed strange that two Senior Grandmasters were bowing their heads in greeting in front of Grandmaster Rank. But anyone who knows the identity of this Grandmaster would have no choice but to bow their head.
Because Orville was not only a Permanent Member of the Alchemy Guild but also one of Braylon's personal disciples and a very talented one at that.
Orville's journey in the Alchemy Guild could be said to be legendary because before he was found by Braylon in the Freedom Plains, he was just a servant of a small family in Light Nation.
But he was extremely ambitious, and when he got his hands on some unknown inheritance, it was the turning point of this journey. He ran away from the family he served and then joined the alchemy guild after passing the test.
The Light Nation also noticed his talent in alchemy, and like any other talent, they roped him in when he was still in his budding phase.
Orville also completely submitted to the Light Nation and appeared absolutely loyal. They invested vast amounts of resources in his growth and even made him famous all over the Freedom Plains.
Orville became the most popular Magic Smith in the entire Freedom Plains and was revered by many.
It was also the start of Light Nation's nightmare because after Orville showed his talent, he caught the eye of Braylon, and he naturally invited Orville as a permanent member.
If it were any other alchemist, they would've thought twice before they broke the contract with the Light Nation. It was a straight-up betrayal, but Orville did it in a heartbeat without even carrying about he was in the middle of their core area.
When the upper echelon of the Light Nation found out about his betrayal, they were naturally furious. Rumor has it that they wanted to enslave Orville in secret.
But to this day, Orville is still living in the Light Nation like a King, and the Light Nation never does anything to him, which is the strangest part, and it is shrouded in mystery about how Orville did it.
As for Orville's popularity, it skyrocketed even more, and there are many biographies on Orville's life, but no one knows how much truth was in them.
However, one thing which was common in those stories was Orville's cruelty. He was portrayed as an inhuman monster who experimented on all kinds of living things, including innocent people of different races. Some even claimed he tortured his victims and enjoyed the whole process.
There were thousands of deaths under his belt.
But there was still no proof to this day that it was true or not, and Orville had never come out to explain himself as he seemed to care less about what was going on around him, and he was always in his lab, doing who knows what.
However, the people closer to Orville knew all those rumors weren't even half the things this guy had done to reach this point!
