Chapter 111: The Allens are dangerous
That day, Isla woke up early, and the four talked about their next moves. After breakfast, they left for the guild.
Matt and Isla found the atmosphere quite tense while walking for the city.
People were walking around with some fear and their heads down. No one dared to make trouble for anything, and everyone kept their prices as low as possible.
Whether from the lower city to the higher city, it was like this. Even the great powers of the guild walked in silence and overworked.
Miss Assassin was also a little tense about this situation, although she still told them why.
"I heard that the Allen Clan is here and has chosen to take control of the city. I wonder what they are planning. It\'s been many years since they\'ve made such a move." She said, her nervousness showing in her speech.
This made Matt curious.
"Are they afraid of the Allens? I heard they are one of the quietest Vampire Clans out there and don\'t usually get into disputes; some even think the Allens are a weak clan. Why fear them?" Matt asked curiously, making the young lady almost choke on her own saliva.
She looked at him in shock and put her hand to her head. \'God, I\'d forgotten that hunters aren\'t always well-informed about those guys.\' She thought but sighed.
"It is true that, among the Vampire Clans, the Allen Clan is the calmest and quietest of all. Because of this, many people tend to forget that they can also be the most terrifying when they get angry. The last time they got angry..." She said but was soon interrupted by a slight feigned cough.
"Cough, cough..."
Alice coughed at that point and smiled at them, "We can talk later about it. We\'ve already arrived at the master\'s room." She said, smiling softly.
Miss Killer nodded, not thinking of anything else.
Still, Matt gave Alice a sidelong glance.
\'The Allen Clan... Whenever I hear about them, they tell them as a peaceful Clan, but they seem to have another version... From how this lady assassin talks, I can think of several things...\' He thought as he looked at Alice from the corner of his eye.
Still, he didn\'t give the matter any more importance.
He has nothing to worry about as long as the Allens are not his enemies. On the contrary, the more powerful his allies are, the better it is for him.
Although the taste of betrayal is still present in his mind, he cannot let his guard down, even in the face of the Allens, who do not seem to harbor evil thoughts.
After all, wasn\'t it the same with his friends on earth? And in them, it was for many years.
So, his greatest skills will always remain anonymous.
Soon, they entered the room, and a man nodded to them.
"I was informed beforehand that, due to the guild masters not being around, I will be the one to receive them." He said, and Matt handed him the report documents.
When he grabbed the documents, Matt frowned.
\'This man... Is he as strong as the headmaster?\' he thought in shock, but he soon shook his head internally.
\'No... He\'s stronger than him.\'
For a moment, he felt slightly suffocated, but he took a deep breath soon after and calmed down.
\'...It seems I have underestimated the Allen Clan... If this man is already so powerful, how powerful would Gray Allen be? Although I talked to him before, and he even taught me many things, I never felt that he was especially powerful...\' He thought and was soon lost in thought.
Until the man in front of them nodded.
"Amazing, everything is so well written and perfect; I must praise you guys. You guys have really done an amazing job this time. We already investigated the corpses mentioned here, and it is true what you say, so there is no problem at all." He said, and then he put the documents on the table to look at them.
"Although the power is a little low, but the work is magnificent. The guild is grateful to you and the reward will be given to you in full. In addition to that, we will give you the hidden reward of this mission." He said, smiling as he stood up.
"Hidden reward?" Isla asked doubtfully, and he nodded.
"No one was told because that would cause a big stir, but whoever could complete this mission would be upgraded one rank. Since you are all B-Rank, you will now be upgraded to A-Rank." He said.
Naturally, this was all orchestrated by Alice, so she and Matt were not surprised. Still, Isla and Miss Assassin were, as they had no idea it was like this.
"Rank A? Isn\'t that too much?" the Miss asked in shock, and the man shook his head.
"For such a magnificent job, it\'s not. Wait a moment; I\'ll bring you your updated token." He replied, smiling, and then walked out.
Although Isla and Miss Assassin were surprised, they still waited.
"That\'s great, Matt," Isla said, smiling. He nodded at her, but he said nothing else.
It was better to keep some things under wraps.
Although he was thinking: \'The Allens are more dangerous than I thought.\'
A while later, the man returned with the appropriate tokens and handed them to them.
"Although the power is low, the efficiency is high. So, you are now considered the most talented hunters in this branch of the guild. I hope you continue to work hard." Said the man. Afterward, he handed them the reward and everything else and then dismissed them.
After dividing the rewards, Matt, Alice, and Isla went downstairs and said goodbye to Miss Assassin. But even though she left and disappeared into the distance, they didn\'t move until they finally entered the guild again.
To the same room, naturally.
There was still something else they were going to do, as Alice had planned.
It\'s just that when they entered this time, they were greeted differently.
"Miss Alice, we have everything ready." Said the same man with a smile as he passed her a document.
