Chapter 61 - Guildmaster
Since then, Katrina has started spying on Noel, Leona, and even Bastian, but she only gets information that their backgrounds are protected by Grandmaster Weston, who declares them safe.
Everyone knows that Weston is a person who can be trusted. He also educated King Edward from the beginning; therefore, Katrina's job right now is to get information from Grimm.
…
Meanwhile, she came to her senses when she heard a loud voice, shouted at her. She saw mercenaries in front of her with an angry gaze.
"What is this?"
She looked around and found that almost everyone was staring at her with the same gaze.
Katrina was confused because she was always friendly to people in the guild, but why did everyone look at her with anger?
"What's wrong with all of you?"
Seeing the flustered Katrina, the people in the guild were astonished.
"Eh ... shouldn't you post a job when you receive it?"
"Could it be a new procedure?"
When Katrina heard the whispers of those people, then she understood. She looked at everyone and smiled like a professional again.
"Please forgive, this job will be handled by the guild staff; please excuse me."
Hearing this, the people in the guild finally understood and calmed down.
"Ah, so it's like that."
"No wonder there are no jobs from earlier."
"Fine, then I'll just take this job."
The commotion started again, and the atmosphere returned to normal, but it was different from Katrina.
"Hey you, replace me for a moment; I want to meet the master." She called one of the female staff who was cleaning the guild tables.
After leaving her position, Katrina headed to the guild's back and pressed one of the secret buttons that made the walls shift, revealing a door.
Chanting a spell, seeing a blue barrier surrounding her body, she opened the door and entered.
…
Behind the door, she saw a long hallway lit by blue orbs hovering over each wall.
She started walking and heard a loud sound from behind her. She turned, only to saw the door that had become a pathway to be covered by the wall. Gradually she advanced while enjoying the night view in this alley.
…
When Katrina reached the front of the hallway, she saw a door that was the same as the hallway entrance. As usual, she opened the door and immediately she was attacked by several sand scythes.
The barrier around her body managed to withstand all of the attacks before breaking apart.
She saw that the room was very different from the reality; there was an expansive city view across and covered by glass.
An old man was smoking, looking at the city's view; the old man was also accompanied by someone wearing a clown hat, carrying a sword, and enjoying the sight.
"So what is the important thing that you have to see me?" The old man turned around, saw Katrina, and asked.
Judging from his age, that old man looks on par with Weston; it's just that his body is not too muscular but still gives off the air of a master; yes, this is a master, not a grandmaster.
"Sorry to bother master Issac, I have more information about Grimm."
Issac, according to reports, is Wetson's comrade in arms. Only Weston made it to 3rd class while Issac did not.
He finally decided to create a Guild that aims to provide jobs and uphold justice for this kingdom, arguably the same goal as Weston; it's just that he doesn't like being ruled by Weston.
The guild he founded had been running for nearly 12 years, to be precise, after Edward was crowned king. With Weston and Issac's combination, this kingdom's security was 'almost' perfect if it weren't for the Krox organization that suddenly appeared.
Although the Issac Guild with the Krox organization did not openly attack during these years, their elite members had carried out reconnaissance and assassination of several important people in their respective organizations.
With Issac's main headquarters located in Capital North City, the Krox organization could not move and eventually lost. Still, they were not ultimately defeated; it was just that they had no more power in this city.
…
When Issac heard this information, his eyes, which were withered and lackluster, suddenly became excited. "So what information did you get this time?"
Katrina then explained what she had heard again. After hearing Katrina's explanation, suddenly, the room atmosphere turned to warm and heavy.
"As I thought, maybe Grimm was the one who helped Krox build his organization.
And also, if I'm not mistaken, you said he was looking for the young man you saved? " Issac looked at Katrina while squinting his wrinkled eyes.
"Yes, master. From the information I got, it looks like this young man is related to the incident at the tavern."
"Ah, looks like we got a big fish. Have you investigated the young man's background?"
"Er .. for that, I'm sorry, master, I'll confirm further. I only know that two of their servants are from the 2nd Witch Leona family."
Hearing this, Issac became astonished. " Isn't that obvious that one of the family members was involved? "
"Um ... the problem is that there is only their last child in the house, and from the information I got, it is absolutely impossible for that child to be involved in a case of this size."
When talking about the difference between Desmond and the mysterious young man that Katrina saw, she really believed that they were different people from nowhere.
"Hmm, I have the feeling that the child is involved, are there similar characteristics, or has the child been involved in a similar case?"
"Sorry master, for that, I will immediately investigate."
Initially, Katrina was very sure that the information she brought this time was very accurate. Still, she didn't expect that her master would be more interested in a boy who didn't really matter to her.
Issac sighed. "Next time you come here, bring complete information, and Chester, you've been with me for a long time. Starting from today, you can freely walk around, but remember to always guard the guild."
The man wearing the clown hat and the clown mask bent over and lowered his hat; immediately, he disappeared. Chester is a very mysterious man; no one knows that he is Issac's subordinate except Katrina.
Even Katrina had minimal experience talking to Chester because most of Chester's time was spent with his master.
"Then, my excuse master."
Issac nodded, and Katrina went to the side of the room, pressed the same button, and exited the same door.
"Grimm and Krox, I think I have to tell Weston about this ..."

-A few days later-
In Desmond's room, it looked as if he was receiving treatment from several Witches who had cast spells and given potions to his body.
"So how?" Asked Desmond, who was tired of this.
Ever since he got home, Desmond had only been trying to calm himself down, and also, he was churning out memories about his battle in the tavern.
But his calm is undermined by the arrival of several wizards and witches who are experts in the field of medicine. They said that Clementine' sent them here.
