As Elliott had taken most of the strongest guild members with him, the remaining members in the guild were relieved.
They already knew why Elliott took the strongest players and what he was planning. And they also knew that Elliott would be challenging Zach for Victoria.
The news of Zach’s unbelievable feats had already spread throughout the guild, and most of them admired Zach. They knew that fighting against Zach would be the stupidest thing to do.
Deep down, they all hoped that Zach killed Elliott, and they all would be free from their slave-like life in Gods’ Impact.
Many of them wanted to leave the guild, and some of them did, but most of them couldn’t. They had already gotten accustomed to everything in the guild, and leaving the guild would be like stepping into a new world from them.
They would have to earn and risk their lives more than before in order to survive. In the end, they decided that they would rather prefer to live a slave’s life than die out alone or get eaten by a monster.
Shay was walking through the hallways to go to Elliott’s office.
Unlike everyone, Shay was unaware of Elliott’s absence because he was out somewhere else for other purposes.
When Shay entered Elliott’s office, he found Natasha sitting on Elliott’s chair in a haughty position.
”What are you doing here?” Shay asked Natasha.
Natasha’s face immediately turned pale after hearing Shay’s voice. She sat in a meek position and turned to Shay with a shy look on her face.
”I was just tired… after doing the paperwork…”
Natasha said in a meek manner.
’What is he doing here?!’ Natasha yelled inwardly. ‘I thought he went out because of some business! When did he come back?! And more importantly, why is he here in Elliott’s office?!’
”Well, whatever. I don’t care what you were doing.” Shay glanced around and asked, “Where is Elliott?”
”He is not here.”
”I can see that, and that’s why I asked you; where is he?” Shay asked impatiently.
”He went after Victoria,” Natasha answered.
”Huh?”
”As you know, Victoria is leaving the guild, but Elliott doesn’t want her to. So he took a few of the strongest guild members to fight Zach and bring back Victoria.”
”What do you mean, to bring Victoria back?” Shay asked with a puzzled look on his face. “He can’t do something like that.”
”Well, he is…”
”Victoria is not his property, and she can do whatever she wants. And did you just say he went to fight Zach?” Shay scoffed as he asked.
Natasha nodded in response.
”Hah!” Shay scoffed out loud and laughed for a while before saying, “Do you know how powerful Zach is?”
Shay had witnessed Zach’s power during the demon invasion, and he was left speechless.
”How would I do?”
”You must have heard about it from the other guild members. And I wasn’t actually asking you, so there is no need to answer. I said it sarcastically,” Shay sighed.
”There were hundreds of players barely fighting toe to toe with the low-ranking demons. And the big ones were no match for them.” Shay snorted and uttered, “If Zach can crush them like ants, then our strongest guild members are nothing against them.”
”I have no idea why he is so obsessed with Victoria,” Natasha groaned. “She belongs to someone else, and Elliott can’t even come close to Zach. Let it be in looks, power, or anything!”
Natasha let out her honest thoughts in the spur of the moment and forgot that she had to keep acting meek in front of Shay.
Fortunately for Natasha, Shay didn’t care to think about Natasha acting weird so suddenly.
”I hope Zach kills Elliott. That would be a great thing to happen,” Say snickered.
’Yeah. I hope that small dick dies!’ Natasha uttered inwardly. But soon realized something. ‘Wait, if the guild master dies, the vice-captain would naturally become the next guild master, and that would be Victoria. And I don’t want that bitch to come back here!’
’I don’t care about Elliott, but I care about the seat of the guild master. I won’t give a shit if Elliott dies after making me vice-captain, but for that, he first has to accept Victoria’s resignation letter— which won’t happen as long as he is alive.’
’Argh! Why do these stupid rules exist?! Any guild member can leave the guild, so why not the vice-captain too? Stupid video game logic!’
”When did he leave?” Shay asked Natasha.
”It has been around an hour or so,” Natasha replied.
”Hmm…” Shay glanced at Natasha from the corner of his eyes and raised his brows with a curious look on his face. “Aren’t you his secretary? Why did he leave you behind?”
’I am not his secretary! And I am not his cum dumpster either! I am just waiting for the perfect opportunity to get hold of the guild master’s throne!’
Natasha wanted to say that out loud, but she couldn’t for obvious reasons.
”He left me here, so I can take care of the stuff in his absence. I am currently in charge of this guild,” Natasha responded in a slightly arrogant tone.
”Oh? I guess the new vice-captain is already decided then,” Shay chuckled.
’Damn right! I know you were aiming for it, but it’s mine!’ Natasha uttered inwardly.
”I don’t know about that…” she said in a low voice while squirming. “I think He will make you the vice-captain since you are the funder. He wouldn’t want to risk making you angry.”
”Hah, I doubt that. He knows that if he makes me the next vice-captain, then I will have more power than him since I am the funder too,” Shay snickered as he said that.
Meanwhile, Zach beat the crap out of Evonik and eventually killed him because he tried to fake his surrender and backstab Zach.
