CHAPTER THIRTY-TWO“Yeah! Yes, Elvis. Let’s go, I am glad that you are in.” Kael chuckled excitedly, and Susie chuckled, extending the brightness of her face.“Well, I guess I am not the only one who needs to prove someone wrong, then,” Susie said, and then she nudged Kael who was right beside her, making him fake a smile while he struggled with the tension in his body.“Come on, guys. Let’s get going.” Elvis said, and then he turned to the Emerald Guild stand and started to walk toward it.Right before she joined Elvis, Susie looked at Kael, and she could see that he felt a little uneasy even though he tried to hide it.“Are you really sure about this, Kael? You know you don’t have to do this if you are not sure of it.”“I am fine, Susie. I am just a little bit nervous, but I will be fine.”“Okay. If you say so. Let’s go meet my father then.” Susie said with a smile on her face, and then she hastened her steps toward Elvis who had slowed down while he waited for them to catch up with

CHAPTER THIRTY-FOURInstantly, Kael felt his heartbeat increasing aggressively, and it felt as though his outfit was beginning to choke him. He tried to control his breath, but it was becoming more unstable, and he could not even stop himself from sweating.“Kael Ashworth? Is that you?”“Yes…Yes, Sir.” Kael responded, while still struggling to maintain his breath.“I see, it says here that you became an S-ranker a few days ago, is that correct?”“Yes, Sir. Yes, Sir.”“Hmm,” Ansel mumbled, and then he stared at Kael for a very long time, while he went through the thoughts that nestled in his mind.“Have we met? Do I know you from somewhere?”“No, Sir. I don’t think we have met.” Kael retorted calmly, even though he still thought that Ansel’s voice sounded really familiar.“Are you sure? I could have sworn that I had seen your face somewhere, Kael .”“I am certain of it, Sir. I have not seen you before today.” Kael said firmly, and then he sighed heavily.Ansel continued to look at Kael

CHAPTER THIRTY-SIX“And you know this how Superintendent? You act as though you have met him before.” Melissa retorted almost immediately, but Anita was very ready to face her.“I haven’t met him before, but I know a man of true character and loyalty when I see one. This is one of them, and I am sure that he would not fail to be submissive and abide by the rules of our Guild. Can’t you guys see what I’m seeing? With his friends onboard, I think that he would be more comfortable, and we could even build a formidable team with the three of them.”Anita’s words were very powerful, but not quite convincing to the other officials, especially Melissa who seemed really pissed at Kael ’s behavior and didn't think he deserved to be among them.“I think we don’t really need someone like him in our Guild if you ask me. He is already making demands when he is yet to sign in with us. What happens when he is fully one of us? I think we would be making a really grave mistake if we agree to his reque

CHAPTER THIRTY-EIGHT“Hmm?” Ansel mumbled without taking his eyes off Melissa in an attempt to get her to be convinced that he really wasn’t aware of what she was talking about.“You must be mistaken, I am sure that she was only looking so shocked that she finally got the chance to join us. She should really be grateful to that fine and brave young man. Imagine being the only survivor in a dimension higher than your rank. Now, that’s what I call Emerald line.” Ansel chuckled to get rid of the guilt that crept into his body as soon as he said those words, but Melissa was still insistent.“I am sure of what I saw, Commander. I think we should…”“Your opinion has nothing to offer, Lieutenant!” Ansel cut her short at once, glaring his bloodshot eyes at her, as a perfect reminder of how cruel he could be.Melissa froze, as she couldn’t even get herself to blink her eyes widened in shock while she looked at the Commander who was fed up with her persistence to snoop around.“You will focus o

CHAPTER FORTY“Kael , honey. Why don’t we go and celebrate your success? I came with a bottle of champagne and some chicken wings. I got them from our favorite restaurant.” Linda chuckled after she said those words, but Kael looked very much bemused by her words.“Celebrate what success? What are you talking about, Emy?” Kael asked curiously, turning to look at his friends one after the other, and it was obvious that they were also interested in finding out what she was talking about.Linda scoffed, and then she looked at the three S-rankers who were looking at her as though she was expecting them to be aware of what she was talking about.“Linda? What are we supposed to be celebrating?” Kael asked, and then Elvis nodded with full interest.“Are you kidding me right now? We are celebrating you of course! You just got into the biggest Guild in the entire world. That’s huge! We should definitely celebrate it!” Linda said cheerfully, and her words even made the three of them look more su
