Chapter 320 - 312. Ambush
"Sir, there’s a problem with Carreon district’s dungeon."
Varion looked up from his screen, a full scowl on his otherwise calm face. "Azure again?"
"Yes, Sir..." the employee replied hesitatingly. The Guildmaster had been on edge lately, starting from the time a few of their esper suddenly missing in action.
On paper, they were on indefinite paid leave, but it was too abrupt, and it had been a week. The management wouldn’t care too much if it was just low-star espers, since they could just expel them from the guild. and if it was high-star espers, they were rarely in the guild building unless there was a dungeon raid anyway.
But the espers in question were three and four-star, which was the busiest in Celestia. Not to mention, they were known to be the Guildmaster’s people.
"What should we do, Sir?" the employee, who was part of the external relations division, asked carefully.
"Just let the legal team handle it," Varion said in irritation. He still had to think about how he could take away that guide successfully--he had no time to squabble with another guild about a mere dungeon’s right.
"Sir...all members of the legal team are full with handling the other disputes and scand--"
The employee didn’t have time to finish his words before something flew and crashed into his face. He pressed his lips, and despite the throbbing on the side of his head, he was grateful it was only a pen holder and not something heavier--or sharper.
"Are you telling me this guild is so incompetent that we hire people who can’t work on more than one case?!" Varion fumed in a rare moment of outburst. The Guildmaster was usually cold even in his anger, which made him scary; the type who sent dismissal notice the same day if someone pissed him off.
The employee swallowed his sigh. It wasn’t that they had an inadequate number of legal teams--they had teams. But for the past few days, they were suddenly flooded with disputes over dungeon rights. Starting from Azure, other smaller guilds started to do it too, probably because they felt Azure would stand with them. The employee thought it might be karma, because it was Celestia who often pressured other guilds over dungeon rights--but he’d rather die than say such things out loud.
