Chapter 2472 Playing with Fire

“Officers, it is good to hear that you are well. The guild thought that you had died years ago after the sacrifice of your parasites.” Said the level 110 individual in front of Minos’ group as they stood in a well-decorated living room.

“However, it will not be easy for you to regain your former positions. I will regularize your situations, but you will lose what you had achieved before you left,” said this individual with a humanoid body, scales instead of skin, and the head of a crocodile.

“What are you talking about?” Minos asked as he narrowed his eyes, realizing he would have problems from the start of his return.

“We have researched your backgrounds. We know you were members of the guild from your IDs, but there’s nothing else here with your record. All we have is that you were members of the guild for about 2 centuries and died in battle outside of Zocarro.” The Intermediate Officer said with a bitter expression, understanding the group’s surprise. “In other words, you’ll have to start your journey from Recruit to Officer all over again, and you’ll lose all your previous benefits, including the ability to recruit new members.” He said dryly.

Minos stood up with a grim look on his face. “Don’t joke about it! If I have to retrace my steps in this guild, I’m afraid a lot of blood will be spilled!” The level 110 man suddenly felt a shiver run down his spine as he felt as if Minos was getting bigger and bigger while he was getting smaller and smaller.

“Officer, or rather, Recruit Minos, put yourself in your place. I’m your—”

“Finish what you were saying.” Minos ordered as he appeared behind this high-level Sovereign, his right hand touching the back of the Intermediate Officer’s head.

Gulp!

‘What is wrong with this person? How did he move so quickly?’ The Officer remained silent, feeling Minos could kill him if the boy wanted to.

“Minos, I understand your frustration. That’s why I’m going to ignore the fact that you’re threatening your superior. But I can’t do anything to help you. Your record has been erased, along with those of your comrades. All I can do is re-register you as Recruits.” He said, trying to calm the nervous group.

“You’re kidding me!!” Minos stated as his cultivation increased, reaching level 108, but as strong as someone at the peak of level 112. The Sovereign in front of Minos realized this as he felt his strength diminishing and couldn’t help but be frightened by this human’s current ability.

“I’m not responsible for this! I’m just giving you the message. That is something I can’t really do anything about it. The record on your ID doesn’t contain the benefits you had. It just says you were a Junior Officer. That doesn’t mean much to the guild. What mattered was our record, but they erased it with the news of your death.”

“Who could have done that?” Minos asked with blood in his eyes, as the entire building they were in shook, his aura reaching various parts of the inner area.

“That… I don’t know. It could have been one of my superiors or one of their superiors. It could have been anyone with the rank of Senior Officer or General within the Records Hall.”

“Tsk! Even if that’s true, shouldn’t our rank revert to Junior Officer? Our IDs show we achieved that before someone criminally erased our information.” Ruth said, trying to understand the situation and find a way out.

“The rules say that we have to register members in situations like this as newcomers to the guild. After all, it’s the guild member’s responsibility to return to headquarters before their information is erased after they disappear and are presumed dead.” This person said, trembling with fear that Minos would go mad.

At that moment, Rhett entered the room and met the old group that had been under his supervision years ago.

Currently at level 109 and still holding the title of Intermediate Officer, he broke into a broad smile when he saw the faces of Minos and the others there.

“Minos!”

Minos didn’t lessen his anger at those who had conspired against him when Rhett looked at him.

“Do you know what this guy told me?” Minos asked.

The level 109 guy sighed, thinking about what was making Minos so angry. Rhett put his doubts and curiosity aside for later and said. “I can imagine. After your Flashdrain parasite was sacrificed, Jembei went on a crusade to make sure the guild buried your previous record.”

“Jembei?” Minos and his companions frowned, remembering a man he had punished when he was the outer guild’s Law Enforcement Hall supervisor.

This was one of the last people Minos had dealt with before leaving his post to return to the Spiritual World.

Back then, this guy had a cultivation level of 107 and had tried to influence the situation in the Law Enforcement Hall, but he had been stopped by Minos.

“Jembei is currently at level 111 and has recently been promoted to Senior Officer rank.” Rhett said with an ugly expression on his face. “He is now the supervisor of the Law Enforcement Hall for the inner area of the guild. Dealing with him won’t be easy.”

“What about Officer Asafe?” Ruth asked for the name of the man, a native of The Enchanted Realm, who had invited them to the guild and who had previously been Minos’ superior.

Rhett shook his head negatively and said. “He was killed on a mission 22 years ago. Jembei took over his position as supervisor of the Law Enforcement Hall for the inner area of the guild.”

“And Maximillian?” Minos frowned as he remembered how he had appointed this man to the position of judge of the Law Enforcement Hall for the outer area of the city. This man should have grown up in that time and achieved the minimum to at least try to protect them while they were away.

Rhett said. “Maximilian works as an Intermediate Officer for the judge of the Law Enforcement Hall for the inner area of the guild. He reached level 108, but he didn’t bother to help you. As far as I know, he and the faction you formed back then didn’t help Jembei, but they didn’t stop him either…”

Rhett looked at this group with sympathy while he imagined how angry they would be with this information.

“So that’s it…” Minos closed his eyes as he felt a powerful urge to kill, his hands shaking with the rage in his heart.

Releasing the high-ranking Sovereign he held by the neck, he said. “If they want to play with fire, I’ll show them a blaze they’ll never forget.”
