Ex rank talent Awakening: 100\% Dodge rate-Chapter 67 - : RAIDING FEVER
Logged into the game, Greg walked into his guild office, finding Jessica there, worried but trying to act professional and not show it. Of course, Jessica forced a conversation on safety, with Greg just listening, finding it strange that the daughter of the people he was going to murder soon was trying so hard to care for his well-being.
After several minutes of convincing Jessica that he was fine, he gave her the order to command every guild member to prepare for several raids that they would be clearing in the days to come. He didn't care about the backlash he would face after his guild members finally realized what he meant by 'several.' Of course, he didn't care about their feelings—whoever was not happy with his decision could leave. His guild already had a large number of quitters, being labeled a terrorist once more in the real world was enough to force them to leave the guild, not willing to be an enemy of the government.
The guild members prepared themselves, many complaining about the guild master's impromptu order, while others were happy, finally having the chance to be carried by the guild master.
"Hugh, I feel so sore all over. I can't continue anymore," a guild member complained. The Dark Star Guild had just recently completed their tenth raid of the day, and Nemesis, the Ultimate Evil, as he was now referred to by his guild members, gave them just 30 minutes of rest before they began another raid.
"Tell me about it. I don't do much, but I'm still tired as hell. What is the guild master made of? To think he can finish a raid ten times in one day, an hour each, when he chooses to carry us, and 30 minutes when he just focuses on the raid and not giving us pointers—and still having enough strength to ask for two more raids. The guild master and the vice guild master are doing fifty percent of the work and still have enough strength to continue. I guess this is the difference between the elite and the common."
"Hey, don't be too hard on yourself. Our guild master and vice guild master are on a whole different level. You're a pro—being in this guild proves it, after all. Besides, look at the bright side: we are leveling up like mad. I can't wait to meet my friend in Scorpion Guild and tell him my level—bud is definitely going to cry his eyes out," another guild member said, motivating the rest of the team.
Dark Star Guild wasn't the only guild grinding rigorously—the Rose Guild, Argus Guild, Hedj Guild, Steel Heart Guild, and Nixon Guild were all raiding guild dungeons like possessed guilds, other guilds growing curious about the reason behind the rigorous raiding.

Meanwhile…
Emperor Augustus Don Clavus walked down the balcony, the crown prince walking alongside him.
"Father, I heard you were disrespected by a foreigner. Please, give me the permission to deal with the bastard who dared to disrespect you. Stripping him and torturing him publicly should send a perfect message to him and anyone else who dares to harbor such thoughts in their heart."
"Always aggressive… How disappointing. Do you think he would be walking scot-free if I had decided to punish him?" Emperor Augustus asked his son. "You are strong, but strength without wisdom is worthless. Learn to be more perceptive, cunning, and smart. If, after so many clues, you are still unable to realize my intentions, then you are definitely not fit for this task. I will assign it to your brother, the second prince. Although he is not strong, he has the brains and the crafty nature to dominate those stronger than him. And against this foreigner, I do not need strength—I need intelligence.
You will go with Commander Joshua to set up a vanguard as well as gather information concerning the demons."
"Yes, Father," the Crown Prince Clover bowed his head, leaving Emperor Augustus in order to accomplish his assigned task, disappointed that his father had chosen his brother for the task instead of him.
Jason, the second prince of the Grey Empire, moved to the garden where his father was relaxing.
"My lord," Jason said, falling to one knee.
"Hmm, you are here. I assume your spies among my royal guards told you of my dealings with the foreigner."
"Yes, Father. At first, I was shocked that you tolerated the outright arrogance of the foreigner."
"And?"
"I had planned to make his life miserable in order to please you, but I had to give up on those plans after realizing how ruthless you are, Father. To allow the foreigner to go, he must have been extremely valuable to you. So I asked myself—what made the foreigner, with not so much strength, valuable?
I did my investigations and found the reason—the rumor that he has brought Drakonix and Leviathan to their knees, and they worship him as a god. Having such a person under your rule can help in many ways to dominate our continent, as well as explore the rest of the world to see what lies beyond us. Having Leviathan would make exploration far easier," the second prince explained.
"As usual, your analyzing skills are impeccable. I will leave the foreigner to you. Ensure he pledges his allegiance to me and the empire, and your wish will be granted. I will proclaim you the crown prince and heir to my throne in place of your brother. Fail me, and you will never get that chance again," Emperor Augustus said.
"I will not fail you, Father. That, I swear to you," Jason said, falling to his knee once more.
"Good. You may leave," Emperor Augustus ordered, and Jason obeyed.

Later…
"My lord, you sent for me?" A knight bowed his head respectfully to Jason.
"Hmm. Prepare a carriage. I will be visiting the Celestial Hall to pay my respects to the Celestials and pray that we come out victorious in our battle against the demons, and that every one of our citizens is protected from the evil hands of those despicable beasts," Jason said, moving the knight greatly with his thoughtfulness and concern. Saluting the second prince, the knight left to prepare the carriage.
'Nemesis, is it? I must thank you for giving me the opportunity to finally get what I want,' the second prince thought, his mood extremely pleasant.
