Legacy Of Fire: Chronicles Of The F-ranked Anomaly-Chapter 39: I Want To Work With You

Darius was looking at Theo; he was not sure he had heard him well, but he wanted to confirm what he said.

"Huh?" Darius was looking at Theo, a bit confused, but he was not going to say anything until he was sure he heard right.

Theo pulled closer, he was not going to beat around the bush.

"I want us to open a guild after you take your reassement. You will be the captain, and I will be your vice, so there is no way for anyone to cross us." Theo was looking at Darius, he managed to get his attention.

Darius shifted his plate aside, looking at Theo. he was not sure why, but he felt a bit confused.

"You want to open a guild?"

"Yes!"

"And you thought of me as the first person to be in your guild, what more as your captain?"

"I don’t know who fits the position more."

Darius was looking at Theo. he was not sure what he was going to tell him, but he wanted to clear his head. He gulped down a glass of water on the table. He then faced Theo. he kept his eyes on him, trying to see what he was trying to pull there.

"So tell me, what made you think that I would be the best fit for the guild captain?" He was looking at Theo, trying to find out what made him think it was a good idea for him to be in the guild as a captain.

"You’re strong and powerful, you can make anyone follow you and that...."

"I thought you need to make sure a captain could keep a clear head before jumped into anything?" Darius cut Theo off before he could finish. He was looking at him, and he could tell that there were many things he hadn’t done.

Theo scratched his head. Looking at Darius, he bent his head down trying to think of what he was going to tell Darius. "I know, but there has to be the power factor, and let’s face it, you are the stronger one, and I can’t reach that level."

"You see, that is going to be a problem. I know I am strong, but do you want the guild to be built out of strength and power? Wouldn’t that make it like the others, and from what I am seeing, they are a whole lot of power-hungry freaks. I don’t want to be in a guild like that."

Darius saw Theo bow his head in defeat, he thought he was going to be able to get Darius to be on his team as the leader and make things a bit lighter for him.

"You are more fit to be the leader, Theo. I know you might think otherwise, but I am telling you that you are the best person for that role. Leaders should be someone who even in less power can tell the sqad to be at peace and we follow, if the leader is someone strong adn powerful then rest assureed wr are going to bring in some arrogant asses."

Darius was eating his food, but he still kept his eyes on Theo. "If you go as the leader, then I will join, but if you insist that you want me to lead, then I will pay for this meal and be on my way."

Theo was looking at Darius, he was confused. Anyone would have jumped at the opportunity to be called Guild Captain, but Darius didn’t want the role; he was only trying to make sure he would stuff his face and eat more.

’He is something else. Who in their right mind rejects this kind of offer?’ Theo was looking at him, he was still shocked that Darius was not even in any way interested in the role, knowing that he would follow if he was to take the position of Guild Captain.

"So you are saying that you are okay with me being the leader?" Theo was looking at Darius, he was trying to see if he was going to understand what he was doing.

"Yep! As long as we get enough of this chicken breast weekly, then I am not going to be in any way angry." Darius was stuffing his face with food, not even looking at what Theo was trying to say.

Theo smiled when he saw what kind of man he was dealing with, and he knew that the only difference was the manners he used while eating.

"You are one strange man. you know that, right?" Theo smiled as he watched Darius eat.

"Thank you for the compliment!" Darius was still eating, he was trying to finish everything.

’I’d be damned, I guess 400 means you gained some knowlegde.’ Azree mocked Darius. Darius tried not to pay attention to him. He turned to Theo, and he knew he had to tell him about Liu.

He cleared his throat then looked at him, he was trying to keep it as clear as possible.

"So, I was visited by Liu Chen." Darius began. He noticed the look on Theo’s face, and it was what he had expected.

"What did he say?" Theo was eager to know what Darius and Liu had discussed.

"Nothing much, except that he knows that I am not an F-ranked, and he wanted me to get a reassement test done." Darius was looking at the plate, he smiled a bit. "He is a good man, he said they want to change the way of the warriors here in Creston. So that people like me won’t be corrupted."

Theo was surprised when he heard what Darius and Liu had discussed. He was sure that the association would want to control any strong warrior they laid their eyes on.

"So they are trying to change." Theo held his hand, and he then looked at Darius. "He must have told you something else."

Darius had finished the plate of chicken breasts in front of him. He nodded when he looked at Theo. "He wanted to know what I was going to do, and I told him that I would make a decision soon. And I think I have made it."

Theo was surprised to hear that from Darius. he looked at him, trying to see if he was going to hear his decision.

Darius smiled looking at Theo, then picked up a chicken bone looking at Theo. "I want to work with you."
