Chapter 248 Finance Head Sealed
“Bark less, bite more, dog.”
The Finance Head’s rage peaked and taking fast, heavy and powerful strides towards Lith, he yelled,
“HOW DARE YOU!”
Lith didn’t flinch when he did these moves. He was ready to flee anytime when needed and wasn’t really afraid of this Rank 7 douchebag.
Just as the guy neared Lith, he was ready to cast teleportation spells but right at this moment, he felt magical fluctuations and stopped his own casting.
“Stop.” A figure wearing black mage robes gave an authoritative command.
As he said that, heavy and rusty metal chains flew from the figure and towards the Finance Head and immediately bound him, sealing his movements.
“WHY!? WHO STOPPED ME!?” The Finance Head yelled.
He wasn’t able to turn around as his entire body was immobile and since he could speak, he yelled to know who had the audacity to do such a thing to him.
The people in the room gasped as they saw such a scene unfold in front of them. They turned their gazes to look at who let out these chains and when they did so, they slightly trembled in fear.
Everyone saw a tall and skinny man in black mage robes. They immediately recognized who he was when they saw his clothes, body, and his signature serious look on his face.
It was the Vice Guildmaster, Levesky!
“Greetings, Vice Guildmaster.” A man got up from his seat, bowed and greeted Levesky.
“The Nuan party greets the Vice Guildmaster.” A group of four people got up and greeted Levesky in unison.
Hearing everyone greet Levesky, the Vice Guildmaster, the Finance Head turned silent.
If it was Levesky who had sealed him, he had made a mistake to yell before. He wanted to apologize but realized doing so would cause more trouble. Levesky’s terrifying and cruel personality was known to everyone, him being no exception. He thus kept his mouth shut and left everything to fate.
Levesky didn’t greet the people back and walked towards Lith.
Lith had both his hands in his pockets and was casually looking at Levesky come near him. He wasn’t afraid of him either. Not because he was arrogant or due to ignorance, but because he was confident that he could flee anytime he wanted.
He had his teacher’s teleportation token in one of his hands in his pockets and all he needed to do was imbue a little bit of his spiritual energy and he could flee.
He couldn’t fight and win against Rank 6 and above people; he was just a Rank 2. Defeating them was not possible and fleeing was the only correct option. He felt no shame in doing so either. He was young and there was a long way for him to go and reach the pinnacle of the world. He understood this fact very well.
Levesky arrived in front of Lith and looked down on him. He asked in a neutral tone to Lith,
“Are you alright?”
Silence…
Everyone in the lobby turned silent as they heard this.
Did they hear it correctly? Were their ears not playing a trick on them? The terrifying Vice Guildmaster of the Jingmei Guild was actually showing concern to someone? Not just anyone but towards a guy who had given a threat to the guild a few seconds ago. Was everything really real?
A few among the crowd pinched themselves to check whether what they were witnessing was real or not.
Lith looked up at him and said in the same neutral tone as him, “I am.”
Levesky nodded and walked towards the chained and sealed Finance Head. He stood in front of him and looked at him fiercely, an expression completely different from what he showed to Lith.
“Utrov, you shouldn’t have done those things. You broke mine and the Guildmaster’s trust.” Levesky said in an indifferent tone.
“W-what is the Vice Guildmaster t-talking about?” Utrov, the Finance Head asked, sweating.
Levesky didn’t bother to answer Utrov and immediately put his hand inside his abdomen, a few inches above from his belly button and took out a bright and shining ball or orb-like thing from it.
“AHHHHH!”
Utrov screamed in pain and it was loud enough to have echoed outside the guild, making others hear it and rush inside.
Levesky had a neutral look on his face despite being in front of Utrov who was screaming like a pig.
“V-VICE G-GUILDMASTER, PL-PLEASE PUT IT B-BACK!” Utrove screamed in pain and pleaded.
The ones behind Utrov who weren’t able to see what Levesky had taken out, silently moved to look at what it was. When they finally had a look at the orb-like thing in Levesky’s hands, their eyes widened in shock and their bodies trembled in a crazed manner.
The Magic Core!
Levesky was holding Utrov’s Magic Core!
It was no small matter!
Before many in the lobby had only heard the terrifying and cruel ways of Levesky but now they were witnessing it live. They felt pained even though it wasn’t their own Magic Core. They all once again realized that rumours about Levesky weren’t false and he really was too cruel.
Levesky didn’t bother to answer Utrov and cast a spell on the Magic Core. The bright and shining white Magic Core started turning dark and within a few seconds, it became fully dark and now appeared like a black ball.
“NOOOOOOO!” Utrov screamed.
Levesky extended his hands out and was about to slash Utrov’s neck but his hand was held by someone and he was stopped. It was a man in his early 30s. The man let go of Levesky’s hand and said,
“Don’t do it, Levesky.”
