Since the interschool competition was already over, Xue Yiran head over to Miley's house to pick up both Xue Haoran and Lis. Miley was somewhat reluctant to let the little fella go. Who made the little guy to be full of cuteness. Ever since Xue Haoran arrived at her home, Miley motherly instinct had been overflowing like a river.
Why didn't her parent give birth to a cute younger sibling like Xue Haoran? It was only after several contemplation, did she finally let him leave with Xue Yiran.
At long last, the missing vice president of the Tyron guild had to resume back to work. Miley arrived at the mercenary hall later than everyone in the guild. Thus, she decided to go to the mission board to pick up their mission for today.
Just as she was about to head over to the mission board, the nearby conversation fell into her ears.
"So, it is true. The Tyron guild actually received an honor point. Tell me, what was their contribution for each of them to actually receive ten honor point."
"How am I supposed to know. The higher up didn't announced what they did. However, we all know that honor points are hard to get. Much less, each of them getting ten points at once. Perhaps, they must have carried out an important assignment for them to be given such a huge reward."
"Damm, I'm so jealous."
Miley couldn't help shaking her head when those words fell into her ears. Everyone only knows that they had received honor points. However, they have no idea about the dangerous situation they had been in; for them to deserve such reward. If it wasn't for luck, perhaps they would have lost their lives out there.
But before she could take a step further, the harsh voice of a man suddenly pierces into her eardrum.
"What are you buffoon talking about!?"
Three hefty men arrived, and walked towards the trio who were discussing about the Tyron guild.
The people around also noticed the arrival of the three hefty men. Seeing them approaching the other group, they knew they were about to witness a bullying scene. However, they all decided to ignore it. Such a scene was not uncommon inside the mercenary hall.
The three individual who were discussing, began to trembled as soon as they sighted the three hefty men.
One of them couldn't help but stuttered as he answered, "We-- we were tal-talking about the Tyron guild big reward."
"Tsk." One of the hefty men clicked his tongue in annoyance. "Didn't you see the notice from our boss that none of you should talk about the Tyron guild reward. Tell me, what were you three doing just now?"
"Ta-talking about the Tyron guild." The trio answered.
Instantly, the three of them knelt onto the ground and began to beg for forgiveness.
"Please, forgive me. He was the one who started the conversation. I'm also a victim" One of them immediately passes the blame onto the person beside him.
"What the hell are you saying." The person who was pointed at raised his voice at his mate. He then lifted his head to look at the three hefty men. "No, it wasn't me. I wasn't the one who started the conversation. It was him."
"Shut up the both of you!" Both of them shut up instantly.
"Don't tell me they are going to start another bullying scene again."
"How many times have I witness that. Seriously, it's becoming sickening."
"I wonder what has gotten into Cedric and his minions head. Are they not afraid of warranting the authority anger."
"As long as the victims are not in any form of life-threatening situation, the authority will not make any movement."
"Still, I don't get why Cedric kept saying he was the one who ought to have the honor points. If it was so, why hadn't he taken the mission instead."
"Who knows. Yesterday, I heard he went ahead to the higher up to make a scene. Do you believe what he said. He said that he was the one who landed the Tyron guild the mission, hence he deserves part of the reward. But all he got was being thrown out of the board room."
"I guess he must have gone crazy from jealousy. His feud with the Tyron guild is known by everyone."
The nearby mercenaries chatter among themselves. Nonetheless, they made no attempt to salvage the three men from the hands of Cedric minions.
Miley expression on the other hand had undergone a huge change the moment this conversation fell into her ears.
Others might have thought that Cedric actions was a nuisance, but Miley knew that it wasn't. At first, she was quite suspicious about their mission assignment. Still, she hadn't expected that the person behind it was Cedric himself.
The Tyron guild and Cedric guild were known to be arch enemies. But their feud wasn't life threatening at all. Back when she had summoned out Joe to attack him, Miley had no intention of hurting Cedric at all. She just wanted to teach the other person a bit of lesson, but who would have thought that Cedric was so evil to have planned to kill them.
Anger burns within her, as she thought of how she and the others had almost lost their lives.
The three hefty men were having fun bullying the three poor trios.
"Tell me, how do you like to be punished? Is it--." Before the man could finish his sentence, he felt the hem of his collar suddenly grabbed by someone. "Who the hell--." Words left his mouth the moment he was faced with Miley livid gaze.
His other two members saw Miley actions, but seeing how terrifying Miley expression was, they made no attempt to help him.
"Ha-ha. It's Ms. Miley." The man gave an awkward laugh.
"Where the hell is Cedric? Bring me to him right away." Miley demanded with a stern expression.
"Boss is engaged in an important meeting right now. So, I can't take you to where he is. Why don't you wait while he finishes with his meeting." As he answered, the man felt the grip on his collar tightened. Soon he felt his whole body being lifted in the air.
'Fuck. Who the hell provoke this witch.' Finding it difficult to breath, he began to pacify her.
"Calm down Ms. Miley. Let's discuss this without any violence."
"Violence. Do I look like a joke to you."
Feeling the severity of the situation, the man knew that any persuasion wouldn't work. Hence, he hurriedly said, "Fine, I will bring you to our boss."
The hold on his neck immediately lightened and he felt his feet back to the ground. The man touches his neck to lessen the discomfort he felt.
He immediately led Miley to where Cedric was.
