Chapter 1058  Karian Adventurer Guild Master - Part 2

"No one." Tang Shaoyang replied with ease.

"Then why do you sit? Don't you know some manners?" The old man opened his murky eyes, meeting Tang Shaoyang's gaze.

"I can say the same to you. You invite me, yet you are ignoring your guest. Don't know some manners, old man?" Tang Shaoyang shrugged. "Since you don't want to talk with me, then I will take my leave."

"Aren't you afraid that my people will hunt you down for disrespecting the Guild Master?" The old man smiled. His voice was calm; there was no emotion in it. However, it was something he was capable of for sure.

Tang Shaoyang let out a sigh and stood up. "Go on. Tell your people to hunt me down." After saying that, he turned around. He did not want to continue the meaningless conversation with the Guild Master. He thought of staying here while achieving his goal, but it was no longer possible if the Guild Master was someone like this old man.

"Please wait, young man. That's just an old man's joke," The Guild Master called out, but he noticed that Tang Shaoyang did not stop his steps. "I apologize for testing you. I just want to confirm whether you are the person that was hunted by those nasty God Ranks or not, and I get the answer."

Deep inside, Tang Shaoyang wanted to stay and have a talk with the old man. However, he did not want to fall for the trap; at least, he thought so. Again, he did not know if the old man related to those God Ranks or not. Antorias' involvement in his predicament made it hard to trust anyone despite the temptation.

"Don't you want to know the identity of the person who tried to kill you, young man? Even though I can't be compared to those God Ranks in power, I have the information you want. Why don't we start a fresh conversation from the beginning?"

Tang Shaoyang had already opened the door. However, instead of leaving the room, he closed the door and returned to the couch once more. He had a smirk on his lips, but of course, he had his reason to stay. He kept his Dragon Sense up and sensed that the old man did not have malice toward him. In fact, he sensed anxiousness when he was about to leave, and he felt the sincerity in the old man's emotion.

The old man stood up from the chair and let out a chuckle. "It seems you have succeeded in tricking me." He shook his head and sat on Tang Shaoyang's opposite, offering his hand toward Tang Shaoyang. "My name is Gortham, Karian Adventurer Guild Master for the ninth main branch."

Tang Shaoyang reached the old man's hand. "I am Ying." He replied with a fake name.

However, the experienced Gortham immediately realized it was a fake name. There was nothing he could do, and he understood why the young man in front of him was using a fake name. The old man caressed his beard once more. "I am sorry for earlier. I don't mean to be rude to my guest, but I just want to confirm if you are the person that those God Ranks aimed for."

"Even though you are not being honest with me, I know you are their target." The old man continued. "How? Because I don't see the fear or hesitation when I say that my guild will hunt you down."

That was the Guild Master's aim. Seeing that the young man showed no fear when he said the guild would hunt the young man, he immediately got the answer he wanted. The young man fought the God Ranks and survived, so why would he be afraid of his guild in the Ancient Rank tower. That was how the old man determined the young man in front of him was the target of the God Ranks.

"If I recall correctly, there are a few God Alliances that are still hunting." Gortham kept caressing his long beard, keeping the secret of why those God Alliances were hunting people from the lower realm. "The Underworld, Abyss, Hades, Nirvana, The Celestial, and The Holy Sanctum. Those six God Alliances are known for their nastiness, going down to the lower realm and hunting people like you."

Tang Shaoyang furrowed his brows at the word God Alliance. "What do you mean by God Alliance?"

Gortham paused for a moment and stared at Tang Shaoyang in surprise. The fact that the young man did not know what God Alliance was surprised him. "I see, so you are the latter." The old man came to a realization. "There are only two reasons for them to hunt you. First, you offended them. They are quite prideful, so if you offend them, they will hunt you down. Second, they hunt the people from the lower realm if they find that you might be a threat to them. If they determine you as a threat because of your ability, they will not hesitate to kill you even if they have to break the system's rules. Since you know nothing about the God Alliance, it means you have something they fear."

Gortham's face gleamed brightly. "This is interesting. It makes me curious about what you have for them to hunt you down. There are a few speculations in my head since this is not the first time, but what makes them fear you even though you are just Ancient Rank." The old man scanned Tang Shaoyang from top to bottom.

"I bet you have something scary with the fact you don't die even after facing the God Rank." The old man waved his hand with a big smile on his face. "This is good for me, actually, so you don't need to worry about me betraying you. The Adventurer God Ranks also have our own alliance, The Adventurer. Most of the adventurers who achieved the God Ranks, including the other adventurers from the other worlds, join The Adventurer Alliance. We have our own alliance, and we stay away from those nasty alliances that keep meddling with the lower realm. The fact that I can befriend someone like you will benefit The Adventurer in the future if you can reach God Rank, of course."

"Don't worry, I am not asking you to join The Adventurer, but we hope to befriend someone like you. Just say it is no risk investment from us, and I think I know why you come to this city. You want to continue to explore the eleventh floor under a new identity, right? The Karian Adventurer Guild can help you with that."
