Chapter 241: Adventurers Guild Higher Ups Meeting Part 1 (1/2)
At this moment, Inside the game, Pedro—together with Neerak Axutar, Weyron, and Faunia, were sat around a table inside a room in the Adventurer's Guild's office.
And before the atmosphere become tense and awkward, Weyron leaned to his chair and said, ”Are we gonna stare at each other all day? Or are we gonna talk?”
Pedro could only sigh in response and said, ”Then, shall we start our meeting?”
”Great!” Weyron chuckled.
At this moment, Neerak Axutar could not help but to rub the back of his head—seemingly annoyed by the disrespectful manners of Weyron who was required by Pedro himself to join the said meeting for an unknown reason or purpose.
So, Before Weyron was able to utter another word, Neerak Axutar asked, ”The Adventurer's Guild is doing well at this moment. There's quite a lot of task needed to be handled by the Adventurer's Guild's Office, so I would like to keep things short as we speak. Please go directly to the point if possible…”
Pedro simply nodded in response and said, ”I understand… Then, without further ado, I would like to inform both of you—The temporary manager and the deputy manager of the Adventurer's Guild, that I plan to head back to the Axutar to handle some matters regarding a dungeon.”
Then, at this moment, Pedro glanced at Neerak Axutar before continuing, saying, ”At the same time, I would like to take this chance to establish an Adventurer's Guild Branch at the Axutar Village after clearing the said dungeon. Unfortunately… I can't bring you with me, Neerak, for the time being—since you are important and needed here in the main office!”
At this moment, Pedro leaned back to his seat and continued, saying, ”You are greatly needed on guiding Weyron and several of his men on properly managing the whole Adventurer's Guild. So, I hope that you understand that you won't be able to return with us to your village.”
”I-It's alright for me, Captain Aron! There would be a lot of chances to do so in the future!” Neerak Axutar said in a slightly trembling voice. He was not afraid, but rather embarrassed towards Pedro. So, he could not help but stutter as he responded.
Pedro simply nodded in response and said, ”It's great to know that you understand my decisions despite your young age. Now… As compensation, I would provide three Aron Burner to the Axutar Village for free! This way, I could ease your worries about the safety of your father and the Axutar Village so that you would be able to work without thinking much about them!”
Neerak Axutar could only shake his head in response to Pedro. Then, after a few seconds, he said, ”Worry is something that won't disappear from me as long as I am away from home, Captain Aron! That said, I have trust in my father's ability and, at the same time, the abilities of the Axutar Village's Military. So, there's really no need for you to provide three Aron Burners—free of charge! I fear that this might create some trouble in the future for both you and the village… So, I don't think that it would be a good idea to do so.”
Pedro simply smiled in response and said, ”You worry too much, young man! The three Aron Burners were nothing but a gift for not being able to handle that monster properly in the past! Besides… I am yet to pay for the things that you are doing for the Adventurer's Guild! Just consider it as your payment or salary instead!”
”Still…” Neerak Axutar wanted to argue. However, Pedro was headstrong in his decision. So, Neerak Axutar did not dare go against Pedro's decision any further.
After all, he was his boss. His decisions would always take priority over his own thoughts. What was important was that he told Pedro his concerns and thoughts about it.
And, seeing that Pedro was headstrong with his decision despite everything that he said, then he knew that there was something more from it. So, he could only listen and follow Pedro since what he was about to do was not necessarily bad for anyone.
That said, the reason behind Pedro's desire to provide a free Aron Burner to Axutar Village was simple. He knew that his Naval Force won't be able to proceed from the Western Side of the Aquari Continent to the Eastern Side. So, eventually, it would all depend on Pedro and the Advance Force on protecting other strongholds at the Eastern Side of the Continent.
Add up the huge probability of unexpected factors like the threats posed by the presence of Vampires and Demons, Pedro could only resort to the Aron Burner to increase the safety of minor or smaller strongholds.
Besides… The Adventurers, although are able to fight and use their numbers to their advantage, are still too weak in comparison to monstrous existence like the Vampires.
