"Oh, good to see you back kid," Velian heard a familiar voice just as he entered the room which had a touch of luxury to it.
Even though he knew it was familiar he couldn't identify who it was until he saw the figure of an old man sitting on the couch without any care or respect.
"Oh, you're that old man from the last fight?" Seeing him Velian quickly pointed at him making Daphnia and Delviny surprised by it.
"Fight?" Surprised by his words, they looked at him but Velian just ignored their questioning stares while sitting on the couch opposite where the old man was sitting.
"You remember me, I didn't expect a young one like you to remember these old bones," His words had a hint of sarcasm to it.
"You're nothing like the old bones I know geezer, just drop this useless talking I didn't come here to hang out with a dude, especially with an old man I don't even know or have an interest in," Daphnia's eyebrows twitched hearing his words.
"Is he someone bad for him to be this aggressive? Did he attack us last time or something?" She thought looking at everything with interest.
She wanted to advise Velian not to be disrespectful but since she didn't know the context of this she decided to stay silent.
"Whatever, let's just get to the topic," His goofy and carefree attitude turned into a more serious one.
"This whole human continent is going to be a warzone sooner or later," His words didn't catch anyone's interest as everyone in the room already knew about this.
"So what?" Velian asked in an uninterested voice.
"Looks like you already knew it, whatever that isn't the major part," He looked at Velian.
"This isn't human-related anymore, our guild got the evidence that other races are planning to take advantage of this situation," He carefully observed Velian's reaction as well as Daphnia and others in the room.
Even though Velian didn't show any changes, Ivan knew this was news for them by the reaction of Daphnia and Delvi.
"And what do you want from me?" Ivan smirked a little hearing his question.
"Simple, we want you to join us," Velian glared at Ivan hearing his words.
"Don't misunderstand, I'm not trying to deceive you here,"
"I talked with all the big shots in our guild and they agreed to welcome you and give you one of the biggest positions," Velian's glare instantly turned into a curious look upon hearing his words.
"Why would they do that to a complete stranger? Besides I attacked your people," He was a little confused by it.
"I recommended you,"
"Guild won't accept anyone into their headquarters unless they are highly reputed members of the community or someone recommended by the guild master of kingdoms," Ivan didn't change his confident tone as he spoke with Velian.
"Why? What's the benefit you get and what's in it for me?" Without completely denying it Veloan decided to look into it more since he was curious about this deal. As well as he was curious about this mysterious higher class of the guild.
"It's nothing complicated kid, I just find your power to be fascinating as well as your age which doesn't match your power," Velian looked interested by his first answer since his power is nothing to flex about unless he can use it for his own purposes.
He didn't really care about showing off it to some group of geezers. He assumed these so-called higher-ups must be geezers from the age of Ivan.
"I'm doing this for mankind's interest, I have no benefit from this, you're powerful, too powerful so I thought you would use it for a greater purpose," Ivan was careful with his words. He carefully used his words to put Velian on a guilt trip.
"Hmm~" Velian just closed his eyes to think about his words.
ραпdα Йᴏνê|(сòm) Daphnia and Delvi both looked at their conversation with interest. They had no idea how these two met each other but Daphnia had a faint memory of this old geezer from her adventuring days.
"Since you want to know what benefit you can get from joining the guild," Ivan went silent for a minute before looking at Velian.
"I cannot tell anything but believe me being a guild member is one of the greatest achievements for anyone," Everyone saw how genuine his words were by the tone he talked with Velian.
"If that's so great then why did the empire refuse to accept this guild?" Velian questioned.
"Those are confidential information. If you join us you might get a chance to know all these things," Ivan didn't miss the chance to emphasise how advantageous his proposal is.
"Hmm~" Velian just closed his eyes to think about his proposal for a minute.
'This sounds pretty curious but I don't want to be ordered by others, if I become a dog who acts on orders what will happen to people who depend on me'
Velian thought about every single thing in this proposal.
"Old man, you know this proposal sounds too good to me, and why do you think I should join on the recommendation of someone weaker than me," Ivan didn't think he would say it so boldly. He knew his strength couldn't match this abnormality in front of him but still, it damaged his pride to hear such things.
"You know even the smallest monster can defeat someone way more powerful than them by ganging up, don't you think it's strange? They always try to improve themselves only to be defeated by numbers," Both Daphnia and Delvi's faces were disfigured hearing his words.
"Are you threatening me?" Velian didn't look offended by it since he knew his words were true but still he didn't want to bow his head to Ivan.
"No, I'm just stating facts here, I don't want to see a great talent like you waste your life,"
"I'm not rushing your decision you can give me your answer later, but don't forget after this war many things will change for better or for worse and you will have a big part in it," Velian hated how he could agree with most of his words.
"By the way, did that group I ordered to attack you the other day show up here?" Ivan questioned in a little uninterested manner.
"No, they didn't," The whole room was shafted in silence after Velian gave his answer to Ivan's question.
