Chapter 212: Guess Who~I was lowkey shitting my britches thinking that my cover was going to get blown. Just until there was a knock on the door.

    "I''m busy." [Guildmaster]

    There was a knock again.

    "I said, I''m busy." [Guildmaster]

    Another knock.

    "Guess who~?" [???]

    A very recognizable voice came from the other side.

    ("Is that who I think it is?") [Solace]

    The door swung open to reveal Nakros. Just like Jukhan, his shackles were nowhere to be seen.

    "...Nakros. What are you doing here?" [Guildmaster]

    "I heard a friend of mine came by." [Nakros]

    "A friend?" [Guildmaster]

    Nakros walked over to my side and placed his hands on my shoulders.

    "This guy." [Nakros]

    He shook me with a smile on his face.

    "...Hm. Did you know your friend may be charged with a few crimes in the near future?" [Guildmaster]

    "That''s why I''m here. Can you just wrap this up and let him go on his way?" [Nakros]

    The Guildmaster gave Nakros a threatening look.

    "You know I can''t disregard the law." [Guildmaster]

    "What are you talking about? Other members do it all the time." [Nakros]

    "Oh, really? Can I get their names?" [Guildmaster]

    "Tsk tsk tsk. You can''t get me to snitch that easily." [Nakros]

    The Guildmaster sighed and reached into his personal desk. I thought he''d be doing something important, but it was just him fixing himself a drink. I watched him put some sort of black powder into a white mug and stirred it with... alcohol?

    "Is this friend of yours so important that you had to personally come over here?" [Guildmaster]

    The Guildmaster took a sip from what smelled like an alcoholic coffee.

    "He''s my fellow disciple. The youngest among us." [Nakros]

    The Guildmaster practically spat out his drink. Matter of fact, it almost hit me. I was very happy that Nakros pulled me aside to avoid it.

    "He''s your fellow disciple?!" [Guildmaster]

    "Yeppers." [Nakros]

    The Guildmaster leaned back in his seat and let out a long exhausted sigh.

    "Fine." [Guildmaster]

    He waved us away.

    "Go. I don''t want to see your mugs." [Guildmaster] S~ea??h the N??elFirё.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

    "Huh?! But Guildmaster-!" [Drunkard]

    "Shut up!" [Guildmaster]

    The drunkard flinched.

    "From now on, this matter is settled. No more fighting. I better not hear anything about this again." [Guildmaster]

    Like that, we were all kicked out. Yes, including the drunkard.

    "Huh, well ain''t that something." [Nakros]

    We stared at the drunkard.

    "I-I''ll see myself out..." [Drunkard]

    He looked like a dog walking away with its tail tucked between its legs.

    "...So, what''re you doing here?" [Solace]

    "I was around the area." [Nakros]

    "Uh-huh..." [Solace]

    Something felt off. Everytime I meet him, something bad happens.

    "Come with me. Let''s have a chat." [Nakros]

    I followed him back down to the first floor, where my friends were waiting at one of the tables. They looked pretty worried until they saw me come downstairs.

    "Alt!" [Fina]

    "Wait, who''s that?" [Raon]

    "Someone I know." [Solace]

    They all had worried looks.

    "People you know usually bring trouble." [Wilharrow]

    See? Even my friends think that.

    "Aw, are these your friends?" [Nakros]

    He waved at them.

    "Hi, I''m Nakros. I''m his fellow disciple. We''re practically brothers." [Nakros]

    After hearing that, Leon immediately leapt across the table wielding a hidden blade.

    "Woah!" [Nakros]

    He grabbed Leon''s wrist and disarmed her within a split second. The knife dropped, allowing Nakros to swipe it.

    "Feisty. Anyways, what''s her problem?" [Nakros]

    "Jukhan''s disciple." [Solace]

    "Ah..." [Nakros]

    With just a name, it was easy to understand. He gently pushed Leon away and placed the knife on the table.

    "Can I have a seat?" [Nakros]

    My allies seemed impressed.

    "Grab one. You''re welcome to our table." [Wilharrow]
