The Return of the White Skull Princess

Chapter 44: A Letter

Brayen who was currently in the Dark Phoenix guild's office was busy with some documents that he needed to sign.

“And this is the last.” said the young man when he came to the last file. After that Brayen leaned his back against the chair to rest, it had been a few hours he had just sat in his chair while reading documents and crossing out autographs, but the fatigue he felt exceeded when walking through a dungeon.

Olivia took all the documents that Brayen had signed. After a short checkup, the girl handed the documents to the blond-veiled woman, S11.

“You look exhausted mr. brayen.” S11 starts talks.

“Hehehe... well how else, business is running quite smoothly lately.” Brayen replied while enjoying the rest of the cigarettes he had previously turned off. While Olivia started massaging her lover's shoulders.

“What ball give suggestion?.” S11 glanced at the closeness of the 2 humans in front of him.

“Sure why not?.” replied Brayen.

“If we continue business like this then it will not be long until the wishes of Madam Kira will be achieved.”

After establishing cooperation with the BlackBone guild, Brayen sensed the guild he had created defeated the tremendous growth of power. In addition to providing and, the BlackBone Guild also sold various Hunter needs such as potions, equipment and various other tools that could facilitate Dungeon exploration. As a result many guild members grew stronger from the mid-level dungeon hunt.

The news spread about the rise of the Dark Phoenix guild made many people in the slums intend to become their members.

Now the power of the Dark Phoenix guild became the third rank of the top seven guilds of the slums.

“Yeah, that's good isn't it. I hope that our cooperation will continue on the day that Miss Kira's wish is realized.”

“You are right, but are you ready for the consequences?.” hearing the words S11 made the two higher-ups of the Dark Phoenix guild wary, feeling it made S11 speed up his sentence immediately.

“The more successful the Dark Phoenix guild is, the more solid the job you have, it means you sacrifice valuable time for the success of the guild. Does that matter to you?.”

“No, I think it's worth it.” Brayen answered while glancing at his lover who seemed to be thinking hard.

“For now, but the growing size of the Dark Phoenix guild makes your character seized then the time when you will not have any more time that can be spent on yourself. It's a consequence of what you want. Are you okay with all that?.”

Brayen thought about what S11 had said, while the woman next door started to let out smoke in her head.

“Of course I realized it was going to happen, and I was ready with the risk.” bakas Brayen, then he continued “Then what about you and the other BlackBone members?.”

“?.” S11 tilted his head, not understanding Brayen's question.

“What are the consequences or payoffs of the power you have?.”

S11 was silent for a moment with a distant looking gaze as if he was recalling something.

“We sacrifice…. Freedom.”

“?!!”

“To get what Miss Kira gave us, we sacrifice our freedom.”

“And what is it worth?.”

“Sure, miss Kira gives more than what we should have received.”

S11 replied with a deep sense of admiration for his master. Until Brayen and Olivia felt like she was praising the leader of the BlackBone guild like her own mother.

Chaouen, Morocco.

The residents have been evacuated to other cities, but there are still many who are trapped inside the city. Dozens of transport helicopters were unceasingly flying to evacuate the thousands of citizens gathered on the hill to avoid the monsters. While at the foot of the hill that has become a battlefield, thousands of soldiers are fighting to hold back the monsters to give time to hope that all residents can be evacuated.

Everyone was hoping for help to come quickly, but it seemed that it was difficult because the fees demanded by the Hunter association were so troublesome for the country's top brass.

“Tsk, they want to suck our blood to dry.” said a minister in front of a dozen other officials. They are currently holding an emergency meeting to decide whether to surrender to Chaouen city or to stay until help arrives.

The longer time wasted, the more lives the soldiers sacrificed. Amid the desperation the ministers of state finally decided to surrender to the city and ordered all troops to withdraw immediately after all residents were evacuated.

A very heavy choice, other than losing an important city, everyone in the room knew what would happen if the Rampage dungeon was left alone. Monsters will always appear endlessly until maybe 2 or 3 months later the monsters will invade the nearest city when all the resources in Chaouen city have been exhausted.

Amidst the despair suddenly an aide entered the meeting room in a hurry, all the state officials did not care about it even though no one should be able to disturb the meeting. They are so dizzy by the problems that are happening that they do not have time to question ethics.

The adjutant handed a letter to one of the Ministers, a letter with a black skull and the name of the sender was...

“Guild BlackBone?.”

The Minister's words immediately made all the other higher-ups turn their attention to him.

Of course they had heard about the guild that had recently become the talk of the world, about the bravery of those who have destroyed one of the Hunter associate branches and about the drifting ship technology that has continued to be the focus of the media over the past two days.

‘But why the BlackBone guild that is currently so wary of the international Hunter union actually sent a letter to the president at a time like this’ thought everyone who was in the meeting room.

The two eyes of the Minister who got the letter moved quickly as he continued to read the contents of the letter from the BlackBone guild, all the Ministers who saw it were made so curious about the contents of the letter.

“Haa…. It's very complicated.” The minister let out a heavy sigh while throwing the letter at the table, the table with advanced technology then scanned the letter and displayed it on a giant monitor screen so that everyone in the meeting room could see it.

Everyone was taken aback by the contents of the letter stating that the BlackBone guild would provide assistance dealing with the matter of the Rampage dungeon in exchange for the dungeon core and all the items obtained within the dungeon would be theirs.

All the ministers stared at each other after reading the letter, they did not know whether to accept the offer from the BlackBone guild or reject it.

If it accepts the offer, some ministers fear their country will be hostile to the international Hunter association. But if rejected then ready who will help this country from the disaster that is currently happening?.

“We are running out of time.” said the defense minister who just received news that the hill where the residents were evacuated by helicopter has been surrounded while the number of soldiers remaining is getting smaller.

“Personation with them (International Hunter Association),” The country defense minister immediately took the letter on the table then immediately signed the agreement, after the signed letter fire devoured the letter until there was no ash left.

While at her own house Kirana was watching television with Koreo and Olie, while Cecilia was learning something with the other BlackBone members.

Bwoss!

I'm I'm I'm fucking cuckoo!

Shaaah!

Suddenly a fire appears before Kirana startling the cat in her lap and an owl perched on her head.

“Hou, it was quick.” thought immediately calmed the two animals, then he waited until the flames that began to grow extinguished.

After extinguishing a letter left over from the fire, the new letter was signed by a distant minister of state.

“We got a job.” muttered Kirana with such a charming smile.
