Chapter 85 - No Welcome Party (1/2)

”You're here early,” Kelly looked up from the papers in front of her with a sigh as she removed her leg from the desk and sat up straight.

”I didn't want to keep you waiting,” Hecathe smiled as he responded.

Kelly seemed to be satisfied as she heard this answer and nodded.

”It's a good thing. I'll add you to the first team that heads out today,” Kelly informed him first before she wrote something down on the paper in front of her.

”You're going to send me out on a mission as soon as I get here?” Hecathe chuckled dryly as he asked, ”Shouldn't I get a warm welcome first?”

Kelly didn't know if she wanted to laugh or cry as she heard this but in the end, she did neither as she looked up at Hecathe blankly.

”If you want a warm welcome, then you can go outside and buy everyone a few drinks. It would make you seem more acceptable and friendly.”

Hecathe pursed his lips as he heard this suggestion, ”I would like to pass. I'm not good with alcohol nor am I good with alcoholics.”

It sounded normal when Hecathe said it but only he knew what he truly meant.

Hecathe had bad experiences with alcohol and there was even a time when he had ended up in a police station after punching a few drunk bastards.

Alcohol makes you impulsive and Hecathe was really not an impulsive person nor was he someone who enjoyed the mere thought of being impulsive even by mistake.

Kelly smirked as she heard the man, ”You don't like alcohol?”

Hecathe nodded his head as he confirmed it firmly, ”I can't imagine liking it even in my dreams.”

”Then you're going to have a lot of fun in this guild,” The woman chuckled as she commented and for some reason, Hecathe had the feeling that the woman was being sarcastic.

”I don't know about fun but I do feel like this guild is going to be useful for me.”

Kelly's eyes narrowed down on Hecathe as she heard this comment, ”Useful? Do you mean it's going to help you get more experience?”

Hecathe smiled thinly as he heard this question but didn't bother giving an answer since he didn't really want to lie to the woman.

This guild was surely going to be useful for him because this guild was really important in the plan.

Kelly waited for a minute but when she got no response from the man, she sighed as she let go of the topic, ”In any case, you're up in ten minutes.”

”Ten minutes?” Hecathe tilted his head and repeated in confusion as he asked.

Kelly smiled as she stood up from her seat and walked over towards Hecathe's side. She raised her hand and Hecathe's eyebrows creased together as he tried to understand what this woman was trying to do.

She patted his shoulder as she spoke, ”Your first official mission as one of the guild members starts in ten minutes.”

”So you're really not going to brief me up on how this guild works or anything like that?” Hecathe asked as he found it a bit surprising that this woman was straightaway sending him into another mission.

Kelly chuckled as she heard the man and responded, ”Why do you think I should brief you up? If you were a normal member that joined happily then you might have had the luxury to get a warm welcome but since you took money from me, I hope to see you suffer a bit.”

”...”

To say that she wanted him to suffer so openly... This woman clearly had no fear for anyone.

”Ah! Right!” Kelly clicked her tongue as she suddenly remembered something and exclaimed, ”The other guy that joined with you, he's currently going through the warn welcome I just talked about.”

”Eh? Raven?” Hecathe frowned as he heard this and although he didn't really care about getting a warm welcome, he still couldn't help but feel a little dissatisfied to hear this.
