?1370 Death Flashes Before Worm1

The Guild Leader overheard the conversation and furrowed his brow. He heard something about bodies, 'Did they come here to retrieve their falling beastmen's bodies?'

'Does the Black Iron Ladirma accept a request from The Orin Kingdom?' His mind ran wild, thinking what was Ladirma doing here with the beastmen? 'No, but I heard The Tempest Swordsman accepted the quest from the temple to fight The Orin Kingdom. What actually happened here?'

He received the information from his friends that Black Iron Ladirma might come to his territory, telling him to get on Ladirma's good side if Ladirma ever visited Akkon Adventurer Guild. However, Ladirma did not visit his branch, and now he met them in this awkward situation.

"What should we do about them? Should we clean them as well?" Maru heeded Ladirma's advice. He needed to catch up to their level first before looking for a more complicated alternative. These adventurers might help him with that, and he had been identifying his target. There were three Demi-God Ranks, and he had chosen his prey between the three,

Hearing that, The Guild Leader confirmed that this group killed all the knights of the Harmony Temple. That meant Black Iron Ladirma was on the Orin Kingdom's side. That put him in a tough spot. If The Temple in his city was wiped out, then he could not avoid the Harmony Temple's wrath as well. Especially if he did not do anything when the culprit was in his sight.

However, Ladirma's presence made it hard for him to make the move. He would clash against his fellow adventurer which should not happen in the first place.

Soon, the two beastmen who were asked to retrieve the bodies returned. But it was not what he thought. Those were the bodies of Bishops, and The Knight Captains that were stationed in Akkon City. He met them all, and he recognized them all. They were dead bodies, thrown right in front of humans with left black eyes.

There were over twenty bodies, which disappeared into the man's inventory. He was wrong, the beastmen came here not to retrieve their falling comrade's bodies, but to collect the corpses they killed. It was either the work of a mercenary or an assassin group.

'Does The Orin Kingdom send them to create chaos in the back line?' The Guild Leader did not know that The Harmony Temple and The Adventurer Guild in Turan City were wiped out.

Tang Shaoyang let out a sigh. Even though he had been trying to work with his communication skills, diplomacy stuff, and the others that was never his strength but fight, 'I need to bring someone to be my voice later.' That was what he thought as he scanned these adventurers.

"Worm1, offer the noteworthy adventurers. The same offer as yours. If they refuse, I have no choice but to kill them," Culling the strong from the Adventurer Guilds, leaving the weaker ones so they possessed no threat to The Orin Kingdom.

Ladirma turned toward Tang Shaoyang. The thought of killing Tang Shaoyang crossed his mind, but then he met with Tang Shaoyang's gaze. It was as if His Master could read his thoughts. He sensed the terrifying murderous intent of the man that suffocated him.

His pupils dilated in shock because to have such murderous intent, this man had to kill many. Millions or maybe hundreds of millions died to him. That was what it felt for him. His heart was thumping furiously, and he thought he would really die until he heard his voice, "That would be the first and the last one, Worm1. If you have the same thoughts for the second time, then I will use my body for the sacrifice. What I hate the most is traitors, and the people who betrayed me never met a good ending. Death is a mercy for a traitor."

The thought of killing his Master had long gone. The will to fight for his freedom disappeared as soon as he felt the murderous intent directed at him. He thought they were in the same rank, and he might have had a chance. But the thought was long gone now. There was no chance he would win against Tang Shaoyang. That was what he felt when he confronted His Master.

Ladirma bowed his head, "I apologize for my mistake. I promise you this will be the last one!"

'Since I have changed a boat and could never return, I might as well do it to my best,' Ladirma stepped forward.

"I am Ladirma! Who's the Guild Leader?"

The adventurers were quite nervous after seeing the scattered bodies behind. It seemed Ladirma was not on their side as well. All the adventurers subconsciously turned their heads to their Guild Leader, selling out their leader.

"I am The Guild Leader of the Akkon branch. My name is—" His voice was cut short before he could introduce his name.

"Your name is not important. If you are alive after this conversation, you will get a new name, anyway," Ladirma waved his hand.

The Guild Leader was confused at first but then was presented with a System Contract. It is said above as a Slave Contract. Just the title was enough to make him not want to read until the end.

"Read until the end before you talk!"

If not for The Tempest Swordmaster, he would not read it until the end. But then he realized it was the best Slave Contract ever. Aside from the fact that he must obey the Master's order, everything was a quite good contract.

They were paid which was rare for a slave to be paid, they would be provided with a good house as well, and it was written in detail that if the slave was given an impossible order or an order to suicide, the contract would be annulled automatically. That was a weird Slave Contract, but that was the best slave contract if a slave contract really existed.

"You can agree with the contract and follow My Master here. Or you can refuse the contract, and we will kill you all here right now," Then Ladirma pointed at the two other Demi-God Rank Adventurers, "You two also come here and read the contract. You have five minutes to decide."
