Chapter 115: He attacked first
Mark threw him a glare over his shoulder, but Damon was already walking the other way with an exaggerated stretch and yawn, like he hadn’t just dropped a grenade on the poor guy’s lap. "You owe me ten lifetimes of favors!" Mark called after him.
Damon waved a lazy hand. "Put it on my tab!"
As the echoes of Mark’s muttering faded down the corridor, Damon smiled and let out a sigh. Now that he had successfully guilt-tripped his friend into taking care of some troublesome things, he had time to focus on other things.
The most important one being why the hell he had never heard of a Frozen Throne or Empire or whatever their guild name was in his last life. It was not that the guild had not been famous or had crumbled early in the game. He simply had never heard of this guild at all.
"Something must have gone disastrously wrong for them." That was the only conclusion Damon could come to. It was not like he cared about them. In fact, he did not trust the old guy one bit. But it is true that they had helped him quite a bit right now.
And if they do end up sticking to their word about procuring these entry token skill crystals for the rest of his family, then that would in itself be a huge favor to him. "I wonder what they want from me." Damon mused.
He absent-mindedly thought about many things as he walked along the long corridor. The entire dome was extremely big, almost as big as a gated community apartment complex. However, the whole thing was cold as hell.
From the name of the guild and this whole ambience, it was not too hard to guess the elemental affinity of these guys. But how the hell did so many people manage to awaken the same type of elemental affinity?
"Some shady shit probably went down here. I call incest." Damon shrugged. He was not one to judge. Whatever works for them. The corridor curved again, and this time he found himself in a long series of rooms like college dorm rooms.
Surely, people cannot be living here?
He was about to open one such room when he stopped. "I know you’re there," he said aloud.
