The Cheat Seed

Chapter 59

"You should've seen her face..KEKEKKEK"

Dave snickered beside Marcus as they walked down to the Capital Centre.

"Man..I feel light now"

Marcus chuckled.

Alisha had stomped off in disbelief as soon as Marcus had countered. She also shot an angry look at him just like Gabriel did before riding off in her carriage.

.........

They just talked casually on their way to the Capital street when Dave's expression changed.

"Ah..Bruv I got things to do...My Guild is busy and Cypher arrives today.."

He said before pacing up forward.

"Cypher??...You are in his Guild? The Spearhead??!"

Marcus asked surprised. His voice wavered as he remembered how famous the Guild was two years ago. It was his childhood dream to join their Guild and fight alongside his role model, Cypher.

"Yeaa....I am their Vice Captain"

Dave chuckled embarrassed.

"No way..Fuck"

Marcus's jaw fell loose.

"Oh by the way, Do you have any plans to join a Guild??. Wanna Join Us?"

Dave asked as he narrowed his eyes and smiled.

Marcus's eyes shot up in reflex. The dream...The dream which was to join Cypher was going to happen if he said yes. If he just said Yes, he would fight together with his ROLE MODEL!!!!.

"No"

Marcus grinned.

"Eh?"

Dave doubted, but shook it off with a smile.

"Whatever"

...............

Marcus was running towards the Academy. Dave had left him in the streets because he had some urgent work at his Guild house.

Marcus said No. He said No because he had promised some of his other friends that they were going to start a Guild.

And they were there, waiting for him when he returned to the Academy. Luka, Kerin, Cloy and Melova, All four of them were waving at him and Kerin seemed too excited.

Marcus walked up to them and high fived Kerin who was holding out her palm crazily as he reached closer.

"Sorry....Things here got messy and The Alumni Meet was pulled off earlier than it should've been....I also had to walk back with Dave and Luckily he remembered some stuff midway..So I got here as fast as I could."

Marcus explained the whole thing while his new friends listened carefully.

"That's no problem boss, we just got here"

Cloy spoke while fixing his belt.

"Ah, Then why don't we start moving?"

Marcus grinned.

His grin hit Kerin like a cupid's arrow and her voice wavered as she cried "UWAAA"

Melova was quick to react as she smacked her junior's forehead.

"Stop being a creep"

She chuckled.

"Okey...Huff"

Kerin pouted and pushed Luka to the side and followed Marcus down the street.

"Luka..."

Marcus turned to speak but snapped as he saw Kerin blushing behind him.

"Ah...Kerin could you please let Luka walk forward for a minute."

Marcus shook his head.. 'This Girl hehe'

"As you say, Marcyyy"

Kerin made a cat face as she moved aside for Luka. Nôvel(D)rama.Org's content.

Luka groaned at her and quickly stepped forward.

"Yes boss?"

Luka bent a bit down as they started walking again.

"Did you hear about the latest news about the SC dungeon?"

Marcus questioned.

"Yes Boss...The Dungeon's time limit was found to be changed to 2 days...But I recieved a rumour from one of my informants"

Luka paused for his boss's permission. He had connections with some of the Guild members of The 2nd ranked Assassins Guild. His previous Inmates.

"Well Go On"

Marcus nodded, He was intrigued.

"According to one of my informants, the change in the time limit of the Dungeon wasn't an accident..."

Marcus's eyes widened, That meant...

"What you are doubting may be true boss.. The time limit..It was changed by someone..A Human!!"

Luka finished his words and straightened his back.

Marcus's thoughts were running wild again. Things have been going weird since he arrived. He was pretty sure by now that whoever was behind the Dungeon was the same guy behind him. He was scared for a second, A person who could possibly change the Dungeon Time Limit could do much worse too.

But the main question was...What did the mystery person want??, That too from him.

"Tell your Informant to delve deeper into the cause before the raid and tell him.."

"Boo!!"

Marcus jumped back, frightened as he saw Kerin's face appear out of the blue as he turned.

Luka was behind her, His eyes said everything. How he had got pulled back after a kick.

Marcus chuckled..

"You gotta stop that Kerin"

Marcus smirked.

"Things are going to get serious from today onwards."

..................

Marcus stopped in front of the Guild Registration office and motioned his fellow gonna be Guild mates to stay behind.

With a push he turned the rotating door and entered the Office. He was recieved by a beautiful woman in her 30s as soon as he entered.

The Entrance hall was big. There was a Help desk at the very centre and another woman spoke something to her Earpiece while looking through some papers.

There was a Door to the right of the Help Desk.

Seating arrangements filled the left and decorations filled the gaps.

"Welcome, What should I help you with"

The women bowed as she recieved him, She spoke in a very well mannered way.

"Ah, Thank you, I would like to know the details related to forming a new guild"

Marcus replied in the most formal way he could.

"Yes, please come this way."

She motioned before walking towards another door to the right.

She pushed the door open and motioned Marcus to enter. He walked into a much smaller room whic had a lot of decorations but only a table and two chairs at the centre.

And In one of them, an Old man seated himself, his eyes peering at Marcus as his specs hanged low on his nose bridge. The papers which the old man was going through was not zipped in a file and kept to the side.

The Old Official welcomed him and motioned Marcus to come sit on the chair.

Marcus bowed in gratitude and took his place on the chair.

"So you want to form a Guild?"

The Old Official sized up Marcus as he looked at him continously.

"Yes"

Marcus maintained his eyes on the table and looked at the documents sprawled in front of him. His body felt lazy as he thought about the cause where he had to also run nonstop with a lot of documents to start his own guild.

"Ok Done, Sign Here"

The Old man smiled as he pushed a single sheet of a paper towards Marcus and a pen.

Marcus took the pen and stared at it for a moment.

"That's...That's it?"

He stuttered.

"That's it"

The Old Man popped out a bubble gum and throwed it perfectly into his mouth.

................

Marcus stepped out of the Guild Office. Others surrounded him in excitement and anticipation.

"Are we a Guild now??"

Cloy asked his voice wavered a lot in excitement.

"Are we together now MARCYYYYY"

Kerin jumped and held his shoulders and slowly hopped.

"Boss?"

Luka and Melova asked in unison.

Marcus smirked and looked at the sky. Kerin was still hoping behind him.

"YEP!!! AND WE'LL BE KNOWN AS..."

Marcus paused and grabbed Kerin's hand and flipped her towards the front. She landed with a Yelp and blushed as they came eye to eye.

"THE GUARDIANS!."
