Battle Of Ascension

"Hah, even though I have been through with two times bloodline awakening, but…" Randy could not help but grumble as he came out of the bathroom.

He could not put the right words to describe what he experienced during the last 8 hours. Torture? No, it was more like a h.e.l.l to him. The pain he suffered was about tenfold than the second bloodline awakening. What was making worse, somehow, there was an unknown force that kept him awake.

At first, he thought he would pa.s.s out with the pain he suffered, but he could not even he wanted to. At least, if he had to pa.s.s out, the bloodline awakening was more like a nightmare to him. Unfortunately, it did not happen as there was an unknown force that kept him awake.

"Hah!" The pain was really unbearable. Even when he recalled what he experienced the last 8 hours, it made his body shuddered voluntarily.

Randy shook his head as he tried to bury what he felt. Trying to distract his thought, Randy sent a message to Risa, asking his daughter condition.

The reply came in an instant. Aveline was still sleeping and the doctor said the poison inside Aveline was gone. Risa also included the detail about the safety measure in the hospital, but Randy felt it was unnecessary to read further. He trusted his friend and his Ancillary.

Now what he needed the most was a good sleep. He had not taken asleep in 20 days and it could be seen with his eyes that almost turned red for not sleeping in 20 days.

As for Long Zhemin, Randy would take care of him later. He would not forget about this and would make sure Long Zhemin paid for his deed.

Randy dragged his exhausted body to the closest room. Just as his body fell to the bed, he immediately fell asleep.

…

"Uncle! Get up! Uncleeeeee….! Wakeeee…. Uppppp!"

Randy heard Shana was shouting right in his ears to wake him up. He wanted to open his eyes, but he felt as if his eyes were glued. It was so hard to open his eyes, but he opened his eyes heavily in the end.

He asked Shana to wake him up in 4 hours. He checked the time and it was indeed he had slept for 4 hours. It was not that he did not want to take a sleep longer, it was just that there were many things he had to take care of.

Randy needed to take care of the aftermath of the battle against the monster and the beast. Moreover, not only he needed to take his daughter, but he also needed to manage the family left behind by the guild members that fell in the battle.

There were many things he needed to arrange. Moreover, he heard a report there was a suspicious movement of other guilds as well. He did not know the meaning of this suspicious movement, but well, there were indeed many things that he needed to handle, not only his daughter matter.

Randy rubbed his forehead as he felt a slight headache. It was clear he had not enough sleep, but he did not have leisure time to have more sleep.

"Shana, tell Risa to arrange a meeting in 20 minutes!"

20 minutes later…

Wisen, Zhen Yi, Long Xinya, Risa, and Pristine in Happy Guild"s headquarter. They gathered here per Randy instruction.

Randy was the last person to come in and he was surprised to see his wife was here as well. He took a seat beside his wife.

"You are here as well!" Randy planted a kiss on Zhen Yi"s forehead before sitting right beside Zhen Yi.

"Hmm." Zhen Yi responded in a low spirit. It was clear that Zhen Yi was still low as their daughter had not woken up yet until.

"It"s okay, you can go back accompanying Veline. I will take care of the guild matter. Moreover, I have them to help me!" He thought Zhen Yi came here because she wanted to help him regarding the guild matter.

"It"s okay. Xinya said there"s something she wants to talk with both of us." Zhen Yi shook her head.

Hearing this, Randy came to a realization why his wife came here. In the end, he only nodded his head and looked at Long Xinya.

Long Xinya avoided his gaze. She appeared a bit guilty. But he said nothing at this and immediately start the meeting.

"Risa, you can start!"

"Yes!" Risa stood up.

"During the battle against the monster and the beast, we mobilized 10,000 Garuda guild members and 129,159 people from the branch guilds. After the long battle, 1,267 Garuda guild members died and 19,782 people from the branch guild!"

They started the meeting with the casualties of the battle because they had to take care of the family they left behind.

Hearing this, Randy rubbed his forehead. This was the first time ever the Happy Guild suffered these many casualties.

"Have you identified all of them?" Randy asked.

"Yes, I have!" Risa responded instantly.

"Good. Have you prepared the compensation?"

"Yes, we have built a residential district in Banten Territory for them. The family of the deceased could have the house there permanently for free. If the deceased one has children…" Risa listed one by one about the compensation of the deceased family received.

The children of the deceased would be Happy responsibility. Happy Guild would aid them in their growth. The children could enter the Happy Academy for free and Happy Guild would aid them until they graduated from the academy. More privilege gave to the deceased"s family.

"Good!" Randy nodded his head as he satisfied with the work of his guild. Next, he looked toward Pristine. If Risa"s work was regarding the internal guild, Pristine was the one who responsible for the guild external matter.

Pristine stood up and a hologram appeared in front of her. The hologram showed a map.

"During the battle, a few big and medium made a suspicious movement. Look at this…"

Pristine pointed toward Happy Guild"s territories in the middle east, the Philippine, Cambodia, and Myanmar.

Pristine explained that during the battle, there were a few big and medium guilds moved their force near Happy Guild territory.

It was known that during the battle, only Happy Guild who almost mobilized all of their force. As for the other guilds, most of them only sent one-fourth of their forces.

Of course, these guilds reasoned that they moved their forces to the border because they were afraid of the beast and the monster would attack their territory like what happened in China.

There was nothing suspicious about this. However, the force doubled when Randy took the mission to investigate the secret pa.s.sage.

For example what happened in Cambodia. Eternal Shogunate moved their main force to their branch territory in Thailand and Vietnam. They surrounded Cambodia border.

This not only happened in Cambodia, Happy Guild"s territories in Oman and Pakistan also experienced the same thing.

Warlord sent their force to Oman"s border, it was their main force. Ravendawn Empire also sent their main force to Pakistan"s east to the north border. Meanwhile, many medium guilds also moved their force to Happy Guild"s territory.

It happened the day when Randy went investigating the secret pa.s.sage. It seemed these guilds had come to an agreement to do this.

There was no need to guess. Their intention was clear. if mishap happened to him, they would launch an attack to Happy Guild territory. Even until today, these guild main forces were still there.

Once again, Randy rubbed his forehead. It seemed his idea to face The Battle of Ascension together with the others as the human race was only his naive idea. The others never had the same idea as him, they would only act based on their interest.

Happy Guild was the strongest guild. Even though the other guilds did not admit it openly, but the other guilds admitted internally. Maybe, if he, Zhen Yi, and Long Xinya did not go back in a week or even three days, maybe they…

In the end, Randy could only shake his dejectedly. He had mobilized almost all of his guild forces to help Dragon Dynasty, but Long Zhemin took this chance to try a.s.sa.s.sinating his daughter.

While he and his guild fought the beast and the monster, the other guilds schemed against him.

"Sigh! I was too naive!" Thought Randy after hearing Pristine long explanation.

Everyone in the meeting room looked toward Randy. The decision was in Randy"s hand as he was the guild leader and everyone respected his decision.

Happy Guild could take this thing as if not happened or they could make a small warning to the other guilds.

"Call our men back from Asia Alliance. From today and onward Happy Guild is not part of Asia Alliance anymore!"
