Capítulo 31: Chapter 30: The time has finally come.

Mykel rested his eyes and tried to get some sleep in the private jet while the others were still talking about the failed attempt. He didn't really care if there were decent characters that died in the attempt that wasn't supposed to be in the story because the real talents appeared along with Asmond who was still a few months away.

Jeanne looked at Mykel who fell asleep on his seat then he looked at Agnez. "So, how did you guys meet with Mykel?"

"Miss Lyneth brought us to him," Agnez answered. "It wasn't a pleasant memory honestly and I'm not the only one who thinks that way," she continued as she fixed her seat. Gunnar and the others were nodding in agreement while Jeanne looked at them with confusion.

"What happened?" Jeanne asked.

"Have you seen death? That's what happened," Agnez answered.

"You don't want to experience that, Jeanne, it was a pure nightmare," Gunnar said while he was eating a pack of roasted nuts.

Jeanne was so confused and then looked at Rozan and hoped he explained it to her.

"His presence was something else, we don't know what kind of skill it was but sure enough it made all of us crawl in fear," Rozan explained as he looked at Jeanne.

"Are you talking about Mykel's aura that made you frozen in fear?" Jeanne asked and looked at them.

"Wait, you experienced it as well?!" Gunnar asked quietly so Mykel won't wake up.

Jeanne glanced at Mykel. "Yeah, it happened when I entered the tower for the first time and I couldn't kill a single goblin. He approached me while he was holding a limbless goblin then threw it at me so I could kill it and level up. He was staring at me and it was like you guys said, it was something that I don't want to feel again," she answered.

"That's a bit brutal," Rozan said while he was chuckling nervously.

"Well, I just hope that the future recruits would experience the same thing as us. Maybe it was his way to show his dominance but he wasn't really a bad guy once we know him, it's just that he's a mysterious guy, that's all," Agnez said while she was looking at the city from above.

"Fear is strong enough to push a person past its limit either they die or survive it depends on that person itself," Gunnar said as he nodded in agreement.

Mykel and the others came back to District 2, he told Gunnar and the others to give Jeanne a tour of their training ground and the suite where they stay. He immediately drove to District 1 to meet with Lyneth and Marvin since Kastor didn't want to attempt the tower anymore and without him, nobody would want to risk their lives even if they were paid plentifully.

Mykel arrived in District 1 and he went to Lyneth's apartment since he didn't want to bother her because of the meeting she was still having. When the night came, Lyneth came into her apartment and immediately hugged Mykel with a grin on her face.

"I heard about the news, I'm so happy right now!" Lyneth said as she kept hugging Mykel.

"How was your father's reaction when he heard about the news?" Mykel asked.

"Well he was disappointed but he accepted his defeat. He wants to see you tomorrow so it's perfect timing that you're here now so we can see him tomorrow morning," Lyneth answered as she walked to the wardrobe and removed her clothes. "Let's sleep for now, I'm quite tired from the meeting," she continued as she went onto the bed.

Mykel nodded and slept with Lyneth.

The morning came and they both went to the Guild Association building to meet Marvin. Once they reached his office, they both didn't enter the office because they could see Caesar and Kastor were in the room with him. They both decided to wait until those three were done talking and based on the conversation they were having, Kastor was displeased with Marvin.

"Are you sure you want to do this, Kastor?" Caesar asked as they both left the room and then they realized that Mykel and Lyneth were staring at them in the waiting room.

Kastor looked at Lyneth and then he approached her with his eyebrows furrowed. "So this is it? Does our relationship end just because of this stupid bet? Are you out of your mind?" he asked calmly and they could hear the pain and disappointment in his voice.

Lyneth stood up and removed the ring on her ring finger and she didn't bother to look at it then gave it to Kastor. "Yes, our relationship ends here, Kastor," she said without having a guilt in her voice.

Kastor glared at Mykel. "And you, do you think this is fun? You made hundreds of people die for nothing and for your own amusement. Is this what you want? Don't you feel any guilt for doing this to those people?" he said with both of his hands clenched.

"It wasn't me who killed those people, you're blaming the wrong person for that," Mykel said as he stood up. "I only said that nobody could achieve what I have achieved and Marvin took it personally and thought he might be able to do the same. So I made a bet with him and he accepted it without hesitation, and you also accepted it without even questioning his decision. So it's not entirely my fault," he continued.

Kastor shook his head in disbelief and smirked with disgust written all over his face. "People like you are making me sick,"

"You should look at yourself in the mirror and remember those people that died yesterday. You're the reason why those people died in vain, you led them to their death because of your incompetence," Mykel replied with a smirk on his face.

Kastor clenched his teeth and glared at Mykel for quite a while then he left without saying a single word. Caesar listened to everything and followed Kastor from behind since he had no comment and didn't want to get involved in that matter.

"Caesar, I'm convinced that my decision is for the best, not for me, but for our future and the people," Kastor said as he glared at the lift door. "Are you going to help me or are you going to stay and become his dog?" he said as he stared at Caesar.

"I'm with you, Kastor, let's make a better world with our own hands," Caesar replied and nodded in agreement.

Mykel and Lyneth entered Marvin's office and he looked so tired and weak. Mykel sat down in front of Marvin's desk with Lyneth next to her, Marvin stared at them as he took a deep breath and exhaled deeply. "You have proven me wrong," he said calmly.

Marvin stood up and walked to the glass wall behind him, he looked down at the city below him. "There's also another thing that I would like to say," he said with his hands on his back. "I'm stepping down from my position as the president of the Guild Association," he said and turned his head a bit to look at Lyneth.

Lyneth wasn't fazed by it and just stared at him with a straight face.

"You're right about me, Lyn, I'm getting older and starting to think irrationally. I made a huge mistake and I want to atone for this sin with the time I have left," Marvin said and turned around. "It's time for you to take responsibility because you have shown me that you're capable and I believe in your performance that you can make everything better with your hand," he continued as he sat down.

"Here is the document and once you sign it, you will be the new president of the Guild Association," Marvin said as he slid the document in front of Lyneth. "Also, because of my foolishness, I just made things worse. I hope that you can fix it for me, Lyn," he said as he stared at Lyneth.

Lyneth looked at the document and read everything in it then signed her name on the document. "I will do my best, dad," she said as she gave the document back to Marvin.

(4 months had passed)

Mykel sat at his desk with Lyneth standing next to him, they were in the office that used to be Marvin's office and they were staring at the city. Gunnar, Rozan, Gerrard, Agnez, and Jeanne sat on the sofa as they were watching at Mykel with serious expressions.

"So, boss, what are we going to do now?" Gunnar asked as he leaned on the sofa.

Mykel turned the chair and stared at them. "We got ourselves a competitor, how about you guys show them the difference between us and them?"

Gunnars and the others stood up with a smile on their face. "Leave it to us and you won't be disappointed," Agnez said as she grabbed her sword.

[You have increased a skill!]

[Admin (Lv.1) > Admin (Lv.2)]

Mykel smirked and stood up as he put a cigarette in his mouth. "Don't show them mercy, you guys can go all out from now on but remember to not challenge the tenth floor yet because I have a plan,"

"Consider it done, boss," Gunnar said with a huge grin on his face while the others were nodding in agreement.
