"I kindly ask you to leave"
The man’s voice reached Hans’s ears, causing him to turn his head to the side.
There, he saw a man who could not be called young anymore but was still not considered middle-aged.
He looked to be about thirty, his fairly short brown hair and firm dark green eyes, coupled with his sharp facial features, made him quite the handso man.
Hans stared for a second, in which he analyzed his status window…
The man standing in front of him was an S-rank tank, and he was on the verge of breaking through the SS-rank.
"Well, I an, I can’t say I didn’t expect it, but what have I done wrong this ti?"
With a half-jokingly tone, Hans’s lips curved into a faint smile as he replied.
The other man closed his eyes and pinched the bridge of his nose as he let out a loud sigh…
"It’s not about you, I’m worried about the guild leader"
’Well… that was… unexpected’
Controlling his facial expressions, Hans couldn’t help but comnt inwardly.
He thought it over for a few seconds and little beads of sweat started forming on his forehead as a little bit of guilt caught up to him…
With an unsure and whispering voice, Hans asked:
"Is…. Is she still really angry about what happened in New York?"
The man’s forehead was soon also covered in sweat as he took a few steps forward and whispered at Hans.
He was slightly higher than the young man, almost enough for his mouth to be about the sa height as Hans’s ears.
Unsure of whether he should tell the visitor about it or not, the man only hoped for the powerhouse in front of him to understand the situation and leave to avoid any trouble.
Even though if he and the other team leaders fought together they could beat Hans, they would suffer imnse damage, and they would lose a lot of fa for attacking a visitor, the man was quite smart, and he wanted to avoid such a situation at all costs.
"Frankly, I only heard rumors about what happened there in New York, but ever since the guild leader returned, she trained and cleared gates at a never-seen pace, she’s beco pretty obsessed and she will most likely challenge you as soon as she sees you, maybe even attacking you directly"
’I-is she really that obsessed over that she would endanger everyone in this building?’
Hans glanced around to observe the countless people passing by.
What the brown-haired man had said was the truth, Freya had been obsessed with growing stronger for the past month or so, and she had grown exponentially.
In order to pay back the humiliation she had received, he was afraid she would even attack the boy in public, but that would have terrible consequences, it didn’t matter whether she would lose or win.
At that mont, an energetic woman’s voice reached the ears of both of them.
"Hey Henry, what are you…"
Her voice gradually faded away as she saw the figure standing behind him, she had failed to see him due to Henry’s pretty buff body.
At that mont, both of them had an incredibly worried expression, and Henry was sweating a ton, she found it strange, but as soon as she saw the young man he was talking to, the sa expression appeared on her face…
Her gaze swept across the young man’s face and then back to Henry multiple tis before she truly realized the gravity of the situation.
In her eyes, Hans was akin to a dangerous landmine that could be triggered by only one person in the entire building.
Hans observed the woman, she was dressed in jeans and a white shirt partly covered by a thin pink zippable hoodie.
Her long blonde hair was partially dyed light pink, with the blonde hair disappearing the lower one looked.
Her light blue eyes combined with her strangely colored hair made her seem like she ca straight out of a cartoon.
Hans watched her with a face full of doubts after seeing her terrified expression.
She barely walked a couple of steps before whispering to the two n:
"You can’t! Why the hell did you co here and why the hell did you allow him to co here?’
She said as her gaze switched between the two.
Still keeping her voice low to avoid attracting any unwanted attention she said;
"Get out! You don’t know it but we’re all risking our lives! If Freya finds out about you she’ll-"
"I’ll what?"
A normal-toned voice talked in the woman’s ear, making her jump from the fright.
Freya, who had leaned forward to talk directly beside the other woman, now straightened her back again and regained a composed deanor.
At that mont, her angered gaze full of bloodlust descended upon the three people in front of her, making everyone in the room feel a strong feeling of unknown danger.
The two mbers of her guild were already picturing the end of everything they had built and the headlines they would see the following day.
"White Sea guild master unrestrained, her anger caused a catastrophe in the White Sea guild’s headquarters"
"Freya Langdon arrested, the association stood strong to suppress the White Sea guild master gone berserk"
"A scandal for the awakened world, the fight provoked by the white sea guild master resulted in the deaths of many innocent citizens"
They could at least think of twenty ways this situation could have ended up on the news…
They had to do sothing to stop it.
"Hans Richter"
A calm but inhumane voice that ca out of the woman’s mouth made the two mbers of her guild freeze in fear, only Hans remained fearless.
"Prepare yourself…"
After hearing the woman talk again, the two guild mbers shouted in a last attempt to stop her:
"N-no!"
"Please stop!"
"…To co down with , I have not forgotten our grudge"
"Huh?"
Both of them blurted out in surprise.
Seeing their surprised faces, the woman squinted her eyes as she said:
"What? Did you think I would publicly attack him and risk injuring the civilians?"
She was obviously being ironic, even though she wasn’t really in the mood for it.
But to her surprise, the two people standing in front of her maintained a deadpan expression, and she realized that they really thought she would do that.
A vein thickened on her forehead as she found it difficult to hold herself back from screaming at the two.
In the end, she simply hinted at Hans to follow her as she walked away and said:
"I’m a guild leader of a world-sized guild, for god’s sake, I wouldn’t be in this position if I was that easy to provoke"
They watched her and Hans beco smaller as they remained frozen, and finally, as they saw them disappear behind the tal doors of an elevator, they both drew a sigh of relief.
Just a few seconds later, the man regained his composure as he said:
"We have to notify every single high-ranking person in the guild of what is currently happening."
The woman beside him looked at him confused.
Without her even having to ask why, the man explained:
"Did you not feel it? Our guild master may be able to contain herself because she has a certain reputation and a working brain, but that does not an she’s completely empty of anger…
What we felt… wasn’t only bloodlust, she clearly felt a strong sense of madness, as if she wanted to rip the young Richter apart…"
The woman thought about it for a bit before asking:
"Do you reckon there’ll be a fight between the two?"
Her face was clearly worried, not because of the lives of the civilians or the press this ti since it had beco a private matter, but worried about her guild leader…
Even though she was quite hot-headed and she always thought she was right, Freya wasn’t a bad person.
"I don’t know, but I bet it won’t be enjoyable staying with them, let’s gather up all the high-ranking mbers and go to the monitoring room, we can observe what’s happening from there, and intervene if one of them is about to end up badly hurt or… well… dead"
She gulped before asking:
"Who do you think would win in a fight between the two, honestly, I’m a seventh-tier mage myself but I have no idea."
They both reflected deeply on this and the only answer they could find was…
"It’s impossible to determine…
Even though the growth of our guild leader has been rising exponentially ever since she ca back from Arica… I hate to admit that the young boy wiped the floor with her in New York, he might even be… the strongest mage on the planet."
That was quite the assumption, considering that they both knew about the hidden powerhouse that their guild master always viewed as her objective.
"But… she has also finally mastered ’that’ spell"
The woman beside him looked at him in shock…
"She… finally did it"
"Mh…. Considering that… the outco has beco incredibly difficult to determine"
