" Co in " Neatwit said as he expected to see Christian Grey, however, was surprised to see Max.
" Hello, guildmaster " Max said as he awkwardly sat on the chair in front of Neatwit
The two of them sat in silence for a while as Neatwit inspected Max, while Max noticed the changes in Neatwit
During his brothers ti as the guildmaster, Neatwit was his key player whose only obsession in life was to be at the top of the levelling leaderboards.
It was not until many years into gaming with the elites that he slowly started to care more about the guild than his personal glory and was moulded into a responsible elder in the guild.
Still, he had that cool carefree player aura around him, and Max rembered him being a pretty chill guy until his brother stepped down as guildmaster and handed over the reins to his friend Karna.
When Karna beca guildmaster, he promoted Neatwit to the vice guild master post and it was there that Neatwit beca truly buried in work and had to slowly beco more mature.
However, he was unrecognisable now.
His aura was dangerous, his eyes were sharp and his deanour was suspicious, he looked nothing like the chill guy Max knew once upon a ti, but rather had the sa aura that Patricia Won Knight and Regus Aurelius had, the aura of a king.
" What can I do for you today Max? I hope it's a pleasant reason for you to visit us at the Elite headquarters today " Neatwit said as he leaned forward towards Max awaiting reply.
" I'm here on behalf of a close friend, he needs a planet to station roughly 500,000 troops, but has no place to keep them.
I can vouch for him, and pay any reasonable rent amount on his behalf, but I need you to lend a planet for this purpose". Max said, as he had to lie about needing it for a friend, since he could not be forthright about wanting it for himself as it would expose his identity as Ravan.
" Who is this friend of yours? " Neatwit asked as he seed to be curious about the identity of the person who could make Max co ask for a favour.
" Captain Ravan, a vampire " Max said as Neatwits eyes brightened at the na.
" I've heard about that boy, a funny one he is, if I were you, I'd stay away from him, he's made enemies with the Caesar clan, I'm not sure they'll let him live for too long, they already have a hit order out on his head" Neatwit said as he casually revealed critical information that Max was unaware about.
The Caesars had put out a hit order on Ravans head, and since the True Elites were one of the best guilds in the universe, they naturally received a hit order on this mission alongside the other assassin guilds.
" How much is the bounty? " Max asked, as he felt his heart beat faster, if the bounty was too big, it would put the top Assassin's on his tail
" 300 million gold coins, enough to mobilise tier 5 Assassin's " Neatwit said nonchalantly as he leaned away from Max and began to think about his proposal seriously.
" Max, I do have empty planets where I can rent you space, however, I will charge you three tis the rent because you t today through backdoor channels.
Karna and Rudra were my brother's, when Karna died, I was depressed for a whole month, literally on the verge of ntal breakdown.
If your brother did not decide to take on the thunder nation back then, I might have thrown my life away trying to kill Thor on my own.
There is no favour in this world I won't do for you until it's not detrintal to the guild, however, since your brother is not around I need to take it upon myself to teach you a valuable lesson.
There is nothing like free als in this universe, your connections are only good when both parties get sothing out of it, the mont you try to leverage connections for one sided profit, they start to crumple.
If you t with today after making a proper appointnt and going through the right channels, I'd give the planet to you for free, I really would.
Christian Grey had to wait 7 months to get 20 minutes of my ti, yet you walked in infront of him.
I don't mind, and I won't refuse to help you, but you will pay three tis the amount, understand? " Neatwit said as he let Max know the importance of not overusing his connections and status
The empire that Rudra had built, Max could undoubtedly use it and leverage it to his advantage.
It was not his fault that he was born the younger brother of Rudra Rajput and he had every right to leverage his birth na, however, he also needed to learn that everything ca with a price, especially favours.
" I understand guildmaster, I'll give you a confirm answer in 24 hours " Max said as he politely bowed and took his leave
" et Alia on your way out, she will hand you the docunts about the planets location and habitat, also stay away from the Ravan boy, he's more trouble than you know " Neatwit said as he insisted that Max rethink his ties with the vampire.
" I'll keep that in mind " Max said as he felt weird telling Neatwit that he would stay away from Ravan when in fact he himself was Ravan.
As Max walked out of the office, he saw a smiling Christian Grey waiting for him as he high fived Max and hit his butt before entering Neatwits office.
Max rolled his eyes at Christians behaviour, but he also knew that if everything went well and he beca a lord, he would need unscrupulous rchants like Christian to really keep the economy of his lands moving.
