Chapter 33 Guild Problems.
There was a time, the guild was suspected for using his guild members to protest against the ruling king.
This was a taboo, but Bradley with his immersive intelligence was able to fight off the allegations and won at last but that has already caused them to lose trust from the citizens and they experienced great losses in their finance after that.
Another time, there was a massacre in a village under the kingdom and the blames was placed on them because they recently completed a mission in that village.
No matter what tricks the nobles used, the guild stood it's ground and still managed to become a little bit popular with missions coming in everyday.
There he met Bradley who had a small badge on him signifying he was the guild master, and also Clinton who was in charge of vetting and releasing missions on the mission board and also in charge of recruiting members for the guild.
With his voice altered to that of a middle-aged adult man and his body releasing aura of human champion, Bradley and Clinton, even the other soldiers couldn't recognize him and they took him as a dwarf, probably one naturally born with it or maybe it was caused by an error during cultivation.
"I'd like to sign as an adventurer with your guild, what are the criterias?" Liam asked Clinton who was standing without the help of a clutch, meaning the injury has been healed.
Liam was happy for him, but he was in disguise so he better act accordingly to how he has planned; become a member and place his mission so that he won't have to pay for it.
"The guild is at his adolescent stage so we wouldn't be running too much tests to pick new members. Senior is already at the mid stage of human champion realm so senior is accepted already."
"Oh, that's good!" Liam coughed a little and said.
Soon, he was registered with the name he choosed "Savaged Daemon"
After getting registered, Liam scanned through the hundreds of mission to find one that will enable him to leave to a long distance and it even involved bloodshed and hunting.
Something that's greatly advantageous in his martial arts cultivation because he will be facing real humans and beast instead of wooden puppets that he usually trains with.
After picking the mission, he removed it from the board and went to Clinton to place a stamp on it so that other adventurers will not take it since this wasn't the only place that the missions are displayed.
"This mission has been tried several times but no one has ever completed it because of how hard it's tracking these group of evil criminals."
"How many persons have tried completing it?"
"You are making it the third person that's trying it, we would not have allowed it but since your essence cultivation is higher than the previous adventurers, we're expecting that there will be a difference."
Liam nodded, after the mission was stamped with the insignia of the guild which was a blood red tiger head with two horns, he took the advance payment and welfare income which amounted together to 20 gold coins.
....
Few hours later.
'It seems Bradley almost saw through me back then.' Liam who was seated on top of a horse sighed in relief as he lashed the horse to move faster.
The mission he was given was a tedious a tricky one, the duration of the adventure is six months maximum.
[Mission (Difficulty - B): citizens GoSun village especially the rich men, farmers and hunters have went missing suddenly with the main suspect being the yellow horn black wing group, Your mission is to find out who the culprits are and capture them but if they don't surrender, Kill them!] This was the mission written in the scroll.
The journey alone would take at least two days to complete.
Liam was glad about this, his identity is hidden and his strength have passed the normal survival strength so he will be able to carry out the mission with 60% chance of completing it, however with his bloodline souls and his demon eye, the chance of completing it rose to 98.9, the 1.1% uncertainty is because his body doesn't have a good martial arts to support him.
Two days later, he arrives at the village called GoSun village.
First thing first, he rented a local inn which mainly has sluts and other sketchy citizens.
His mask made criminals to see him as one of theirs, and in no time he have made criminal friends.
During a certain night, Liam was invited to another apartment in the same inn by a fellow who have had drinks with him the previous night at a nearby bar.
Barnabas was his name, he had a scar that ran down through his eyes, and his hair was red. His cultivation(s) are; Martial arts (Level 4, Human realm) Essence cultivation (Level 7, Human realm)
Inside the room, a small bench was layed on the ground, Liam and Barnabas sat on the mat facing each other as they downed alcohols together.

[Alcohol detected; Buff activated]
"Hey, you still haven't told me your name." Barnabas asked with a wild smile on his face as he downed yet another small cup of alcohol.
Liam still had a mask on and his voice was altered by the system.
"I don't have a name, you can call me Savage, once stayed in LuPi city before coming here because my identity was almost known." Liam answered.
"Hahaha, my friend, that's the same with me. mine was even worst. can you believe I was almost sent into the hands of those useless police."
"For real?"
"Yeah, the dude I bribed wasn't the one on duty that day when I carried out my operation. the fat bastard did not even show up throughout the trial so I have to escape through my crafted means and I guess I'm wanted right now."
Liam listened attentively to Barnabas, trying to learn of what group he belongs to but the geezer only kept blabbering of how good of a thief he was.
Soon, Barnabas got drunk and Liam had to excuse himself.
