~(A few hours ago, just after Ren finished his call with Haruki.)~
THE FELICITY GUILD - NOON
"Sigh, it's weird to be under continuous surveillance. What can I expect when they don't believe me yet? Fortunately, I can inform the master without anyone knowing, or it would have been a huge problem," Haruki thought, sitting on the bed the Felicity guild provided for him.
"Well, since the master told me to help them, there is no need for me to act as a full-time spy, as I might get discovered by them if I become one," Haruki thought, but suddenly he heard a sound from outside.
"Knock!! Knock!!!" Suddenly, his door was knocked by someone, and since becoming Ren's servant, Haruki didn't use his ability to see the future, which is why he doesn't know who is the one knocking right now.
"Come in!" Haruki said casually, and right after, a man with cat ears entered the room. Unlike what one might expect a cat man to be, he was huge, Hercules build, like 6.5 feet tall, with muscles like diamond, dark skin, and a cut beside the eye, looks like a pure predator that can eat anyone alive.
"Mr. Haruki, our guild master wishes to have a chat with you, please follow me," the muscular cat man said in a not-so-requesting tone, indicating Haruki needs to do everything they tell him to do for now.

INSIDE A HUGE OFFICE - NOON.
Haruki can be seen in a knight-bowing position, and in front of him was another Hercules build man with cat ears and tails, sitting on a large king-size chair, looking like some king that can give someone shivers just by looking at him.
It's unusual for someone from the 50th floor to come back to the second floor out of nowhere, as they receive a huge backlash if they use their power on the lower floor. On top of that, that person wishes to have a meeting with someone as low level as Haruki. This made Haruki extremely nervous as he thought that the person before him might kill him, preventing him from helping his master by giving him the information he wanted.
"Hmm, so you are the one that saved my daughter," the man that sat on the chair said in a dominating voice.
"Yes, sir. I was fortunate enough to save Miss Mia after I destroyed the Blood Moon Guild's first floor," Haruki replied respectfully with a bow position, not wanting to offend him.
"Sigh, I don't care about your reasoning to destroy their first-floor guild, but since you helped my daughter, as a thank you, I will give you a high position in the guild when you reach the 10th floor," the man said with a sigh and got up from his seat and left the room.
"Huh? That's all? And here I was thinking I might die today!! I guess I was nervous for nothing," Haruki thought, relieved.

THE EMPORIUM SHOP - AFTERNOON
Ren and Luna can be seen sitting on a chair casually, and in front of them was a huge holographic screen. Inside the holographic screen, there was a very beautiful woman, just like Luna, if not more. The woman has blue hair, blood-red eyes, pale white skin. She looks pretty normal if she didn't have the horn on her head and wings on the back. All these features indicate that of a dragon who usually lives on the 50th floor.
There are a total of 4 races that completely control the 50th floor: Vampire, Werewolf, Dragons, and One-horn race. The Dragons are famous for their strength and magic, Vampires are famous for their speed, sense, and magic, and werewolves are famous for their speed, stamina, and regeneration, while One-horns are just like humans on the physical aspect, nothing too special, but their mind power is something else. It says that a level 1 One-horn can even control someone of Level 10. They can even tame beasts, see the future, and many more.
"So, you want our master and us to be your guild members?" Ren said with a smirk, but the next second the smirk changed to a serious expression.
"Sigh, I am sorry to say, but neither my master nor us wish to be in any guild," Ren replied with a serious expression, not wishing to negotiate the deal.
"But why though? We promised to give you the best of our weapons and the best resources you can even hope for. And protection from other guilds, I am sure you know that the big three won't let you be if they found you, right?" the dragon woman asked a bit confused but still trying her best not to be offended as that way it would be her loss.
Then with a smile, Ren expressed, "It's not that we don't believe your capacity to provide the best of the best, but our master ordered not to be in anyone's control. But since you were kind enough to give us this much time, I can give you an offer. What do you think?" Ren asked, completely changing the situation to his favor.
"Please!" The woman said with a smile as she was also interested in what kind of offer he can give to her.
"It's nothing special; it's just that we are planning on building a guild of our own in the future, so we wanted to make a good friendly connection with someone like you. If you agree, then we will agree to help you three times with the best of our ability in the future," Ren said with a grin, but the other party was not happy. On the other hand, she was annoyed and angry at the same time.
"Young man, are you planning on insulting us or something?" The dragon woman asked with an angry voice. But Ren wasn't dominated by this; on the other hand, he just smiled, not showing any weakness.
"Sigh, you should have already guessed our master is one of the Unknown, who everyone is searching for. And you must have already seen through our level, so you can guess that there is no way two Level 10 climbers like us would follow him and call him master if he was just some weak first-floor climber."
"By this, you should have already guessed what his capabilities are. You just need to bet on him, on what he will do in the future. I am sure it will be something you wouldn't regret later," Ren explained his thoughts like a professional businessman with a professional smile.
Seeing his serious and mysterious ways of talking made the dragon woman interested, "Hahahahahahaha, I like your guts; fine, I will bet on your future. I like to bet on the unexpected things, so you have a deal. But be aware if you fail to meet my expectations, you wouldn't even find hell to hide in." The woman's voice changed from laughter to a serious murderous tone.
"Haha, don't worry, you wouldn't regret making this deal," Ren said with a smile, and Luna just nodded her head. Even though she was stupid, she still knew that she can't say something weird to make Ren's hard work go to waste, so she remained silent throughout the whole conversation.
