BXBX NOVEL Chapter 84: Tribute
"Zach!!!"
"Sorry, Guild master."
Rahond and his elders just smirked at him, this guy was just wasting his saliva. No matter what the Silver Moon\'s Guild Master say or do, The Conquerors have the final say. They came to them, not the other way around.
"Don\'t mind my first elder. I want an alliance with your Guild because it has potential--"
"--Potential for what?" Rahond\'s first elder asked in mild confusion.
"Have potential to Reach the top on the ranking board, Just as Supreme reached the top." She said staring at him.
\'That\'s why you are here, just to hold on to a big thigh.\' Rahond nodded slowly and said.
"I understand, but... I\'m not really the Guild master."
"Meaning?" The woman was confused. The man in front of her is the one registered as the Guild master, then who is he referring to? When Zach said it, she dismissed the idea. But now...
"Then who is the Guild master?" She asked. Her elders were also listening.
Rahond brought out his phone and made a call. He then put the phone on speaker and placed it on the table between them.
"What is it, Rahond?" Michael\'s voice sounded from the phone.
"Boss, there is someone here who wants to be our Ally, she is the Guild master of the silver Moon Guild."
Silence...
Rahond looked at the phone for a moment, then asked. "Are you there, boss?"
"Yes, is she with you?" Michael asked.
"Yes..." The woman looked up at Rahond, not knowing how to address the person in the other end. She couldn\'t bring herself to call him boss.
"Supreme." Rahond whispered to her.
The woman was momentarily stunned then said:
"Yes, Supreme. I want our Guilds to be allies."
Michael was silent for a while then said. "We don\'t accept weak or irresponsible Guilds. And to be accepted in The Conquerors, you need to give a tribute every month, to show how responsible you are."
Everyone in the room was stunned in place, even Zach was speechless.
"What is this tribute?" The woman asked in a calm tone, she wasn\'t surprised by this. The Silver Moon Guild need strong connection, and with someone like Queen-Of-Death and Supreme backing them. She and her members will be safe.
Right?
"After you pay the tribute. I will send a contract through AI. For your first Tribute, this is what you have to pay.[One life card. High EXP Card. One Rare-class pet; Any bloodline. Two Rare-Class weapons.
And lastly; 1,000 years of Life times.] Don\'t take all these as extortion, No one is using force or threatening you... It\'s all up to you--"
"--Are you mad Supreme?!!" The four elders were enraged. Why would he ask for such things? These things cost more than 500,000 In-game diamonds!!
For heaven\'s sake, Only the Life Card cost 100,000 In-game diamonds.
The Guild master glared at her elders causing them to shut up.
"But Guild master, all these things are too--"
She raised her hand, stopping the second elder. "Go on, Supreme. Don\'t mind these kids."
Rahond and his elders chuckled upon hearing her.
"I see you are smart." Michael\'s voice sounded again.
"All that is just for the first Tribute. Every month you have to pay The conquerors 100 years of life times and 5,000 in-game diamonds. If you fail to catch up after two months, the Contract will be terminated, and you won\'t be our Ally again.
"This is pure extortion in another strategy!" Zach hissed, his face red with anger.
"You can call me when you are ready--"
"--We are ready!" She cut him off.
Zach: "Guild master?"
Second, third, fourth and fifth elders: ""...""
Rahond and his elders also stared at her with a deep frown.
\'How rich is the Silver Moon Guild?\' Rahond thought inwardly.
"That is quick." Michael said, and added. "Transfer everything to Rahond, Then I will send you the Contract."
"Supreme... I\'m not with a Rare-Class pet at the moment, but I have the rest things you mentioned. I will send it to Rahond now." She tapped on her bracelet under everyone\'s astonishing gaze.
BEEP!!!
Rahond blinked, staring at her.
"Have you seen it?" She asked.
Rahond nodded at her and said to Michael. "She hasn\'t sent the pet yet, but I have seen the rest."
BEEP!!
The woman raised her bracelet seeing only the picture of Drakon. The Conquerors\' Logo.
"Wait a second, is this the contract?" She asked In mild confusion.
"Yes. I placed a mark on it with my Mana, there\'s no way it can be copied."
"Thank you, Supreme. I will get going now, to get the pet." She stood up, not bothered about the anomaly of the deal.
Her elders also stood up, they weren\'t happy. All the Guilds below them on the ranking board will beg to be their Ally, and here are The Conquerors. Asking them to pay tribute every month!!
They were all angry, but held it back so not to anger their Guild master.
"Thank you for coming." Rahond said not getting up.
"Can I know your name?" Michael\'s voice sounded, stopping the woman on track.
"Violet." With that said, she quickly left the building, followed by her elders.
-
"Rahond?"
"I\'m here boss."
"Investigate the Silver Moon Guild, I want to know why she accepted the tribute so quickly."
"You also suspect something was off?"
"Who wouldn\'t?" He hanged up.
"You heard the boss, I need all information about the Silver Moon Guild in an hour." Rahond turned to the three. Who quickly nodded.

CLEAR SKY STREET
In one of the biggest villas on the street. A guy with blonde hair and blue eyes sat in his study, his face filled with killing intent and pure rage. "Supreme. Supreme. Supreme." He kept on mumbling.
The door was pushed open, and a middle-age man and woman walked in, both putting on full black outfit
"What happened, Young Master? Why did you summon us?" The woman asked.
The young man picked up an envelope and threw it at them, without saying a word. The man caught it and slowly opened it, seeing it was a letter he read it out loud.
"[How do you like my gift Guild master of the Viper Guild? I heard she was your sweetheart, sorry... she is dead now. And as a present I\'m sending her body to you. Do please accept it, if you are wondering who this is, think no more. Answer the Guild war I will send to you, let\'s see if you truly love her.
Your Worst Nightmare: Supreme.]
The man slowly folded the letter. "Are you sure it\'s Supreme?" He asked raising his head to Kay.
Not long after I saw her body in front of my house, The Conquerors sent me a Guild war battle. One week from now, at the Guild war stadium outside the Amerisa." Kay said with killing intent.
"Calm down, young master. Everything in this letter have one purpose, to anger you... If you lose yourself in rage, you will do things you will regret." The woman sat down on the chair in front of Kay.
"Do you want me to Call the Master?" She added.
"No! My father want to be the disciple of the first placeholder on the Demigods\' ranking board, we shouldn\'t disturb him. I need both your helps to help Me find any information about Supreme."
"What about the Guild war?" The woman referred to as Second Grand Elder asked.
"Have accepted it."
The two Grand Elders looked at each other, then at Kay. "Ok then, what do you want us to do?" The Man asked.
