Chapter 73: The Unexpected Alliance Part 1

< Sharp Eye Guild HQ >

"( This is 29th October, I am now entering the HQ of my beloved Guild, the Sharp Eye. )" Duncan says to himself as he entered his work office again, after dealing with Irina and his daughter's birth that required him to watch over them, full-time, as well to training Donovan for he needs more guidance to succeed in some certain subjects.

"( I'm so drained, I hope the HQ welcomed me after having a 'vacation' for so long, wait I wouldn't say it's a vacation, more like... )" Duncan scratches his hair as he tries to remember the very word that describes his very past situation.

"( Oh yes, leisure... )" Duncan says as he enters his office, in the Guild, he was now the Vice-Guildmaster of the Sharp Eye Guild.

As he enters his office lobby, he then was then welcomed by his subordinates as they tell him that the Guildmaster is waiting for him in his office room Duncan can see her with another woman, a woman with Black hair and that Easterion-type clothes.

"( Who is this? )" Duncan asks as he enters his room to meet with the Guildmaster, he was very confused about why the 'Guildmaster' had to come into his Office Room with a stranger, not just ask him to go to her place instead.

As Duncan thinks about this, he then remembers that the Guildmaster, Mercy Aquilla one of the S Rank Hunters like Duncan, is known for her flexible work culture as she always wants the Guild to be flexible like the Eagle's wings and had sharp eyes like the eagle's eyes.

"( Oh yes, don't forget our Guild's very motto. ) " Duncan remembers the very motto of the Sharp Eye Guild came from her own motto, right after she inherit the very Guild from her master.

As Duncan entered his office, the Guildmaster, Mercy greet him happily since Duncan is basically her junior back in his high school days.

" Hey Duncan, we've been waiting for you! " she shouts happily to him as she sits so leisurely while her associate sits in style.

" Of course senior, it's been a long time since I've taken my time. " Duncan says as he sits in his chair.

" So, how could I do for you, since you already take some effort to come to my office room? " Duncan asks.

" Oh by the new gods Duncan, don't be so formal, I only came here with my guest here just recently, not many long before you arrived. " Mercy says as she introduces Duncan the woman beside her.

" Hey Duncan, before we talk, I want to introduce you to Agniz Resha, the... "

" The Warblade Guild's new Guildmaster, you should've known..., Mr. Grimshaw. " Agniz says as she quickly introduces herself about her very status as the Guildmaster of the newly-rebranded Warblade Guild.

As she says that, she looks sharply at Duncan for her eyes are even sharper than the Sharp Eye Guild's logo (The Guild's logo is a sharp-looking eagle's eyes.), even the 'Sharp Eye' guild's Guildmaster's eyes are not as sharp as Agniz's eyes.

" Oh Agniz, don't be so scary, after all, you came here not in the proposal on making problems with us, right... "

" Right? " Guildmaster Mercy says as she stares back at her while Duncan felt so pressured as he was so cornered in his own place.

"( Great another problem in the office. )" Duncan says.

"( Back then, I often ask why was I assigned to the Vice-Guildmaster, whose job is mainly around dealing with the Hunters from other Guilds rather than focusing to increase our profit from the Dungeon. )" Duncan says this, for he knows that the problems in the Dungeons are still quite easy to be solved rather than the problems with the other Guilds, Especially if the Guild is the Warblade Guild, the Guild that was once led by Ardun Reyroad resulting in the Guild be known as the most barbaric Guild in the Hunter Association is now being reformed by an opportunistic and militaristic leader, Agniz Resha who sought to rebrand the Warblade Guild by using her knowledge as both a Knight and an Army.

As Duncan thinks about that, Duncan then asks them to stop as he reminds them that they are in his Domain, both of the Guildmasters must stop their pressure all over the place, or else, he himself will be the one that stops them.

" I'm warning you... " Duncan says even without releasing some of the pressure from his body which made both Guildmaster understand for they know well Duncan's capability.

" Of course, Mr. Grimshaw, please forgive me for 'offending' your respect. " Agniz says as she turns down her own pressure, followed by Merci since both S-Rank's are lower than Duncan's position as an S-Rank, making them (by the very ranking position rules) had to follow Duncan's orders with respect despite him only being a 'Vice' Guildmaster.

After all of them are turned down, Duncan then asks Agniz about the reason she came here with Guildmaster Mercy as he wonders why all of them are here, like for heaven's sake.

" I'm sorry if I had interfered with your, return, Mr. Grimshaw... "

" I mean... "

" Mr. Richter-Grimshaw..., was it now? it should be? please, apologies for the miscorrection. " Agniz says as she seems to have doubts on how to address Duncan.

" Duncan would suffice..., we're both S-Ranks, remember? " Duncan says to her which made Agniz sigh as she then gets to the point.

" Duncan, I know that you and my guild have been colliding your blades in the previous times. "

" From your battles with Ardun back then, as the newly replacing of the Warblade's Guild 4th Guildmaster. "

" I offer my sincere apologies for the conflict you have to endure and now I'm here to make amends, to fix Ardun Reyroad's actions to both you and the Sharp Eye Guild. "

" What is it? " Duncan and Mercy ask while Agniz opens her bag and shows her private USB Drive.

" What is this? " Duncan receives the USB.

As he received it, Agniz then explains to Duncan about the USB, the USB which contains the very reason why Ardun attack the Sichere Festung's Richter family's villa back then which is.*

" What did you say? what has 'he' have to do regarding this? " Duncan says as he asks Agniz, why his son, Donovan is the very reason why they were attacking the Villa back then.
