Chapter 654 Success?
What should I do now? Who should I ask for help? Lyana stood frozen, not knowing what to do.
She looked at Liam to see if he was doing well, but to her surprise, the other person was surprisingly calm, even smiling. Why was he still smiling?
As she stared in dread with her widened eyes, she watched a group of guards come forward, splitting apart the crowd of elves. Right before everyone's eyes, these guards directly arrested the culprit without any sort of explanation.
However, the next second, all the elves immediately gasped, and Lyana rubbed her eyes to see if she was hallucinating. This was because the person arrested was not the human being but the elf who caused the commotion.
Just what was happening?
"What are you doing? Let me go! Let me go! He is the thief! He is the one who stole from me!" Saevel struggled as he glared at the guards rough handling him. He couldn't believe it!
Just what the hell was happening? The other elves who were with him and had started the commotion were also quickly arrested.
"At least arrest him also!" Saevel yelled, his rage consuming him. In front of so many important figures, he was being completely humiliated.
And to make matters worse, one of the guards stepped forward and bowed in front of Liam. Saevel was dumbfounded. The guard was not arresting him but rather bowing in front of him.
"Please forgive us, esteemed Lord. We were negligent and caused you inconvenience."
"WHAT ARE SAYING? HE IS THE THIEF!" Saevel was livid.
On the other hand, Liam calmly stepped forward and looked at the elf being pitifully held captive.
'You should have created this drama a little sooner. Unfortunately, I am already out of your reach. I am a Forging Grandmaster with an Honored reputation with the elves.'
Liam smirked at him and then turned to wave at the elven guard. "Don't worry about it. I know you are working hard. I am just sorry that such unruly people disrupted everybody's evening."
All the elves also seemingly agreed with him and nodded in agreement. Such uncouth behavior! Everyone looked at Saevel in disdain.
The guards bowed again and quickly dragged away the culprits, while Liam was once again free to do as he pleased.
"Shall we go in?" He asked the other dumbfounded elf with a polite smile. Lyana nodded with a gulp.
After a quick trip to the auction house manager, Liam walked out with a big grin. The auction house only charged him a 15% fee instead of the usual 20% fee, so he was in a good mood.
His gold reserves had gone through the roof in the span of a day. More importantly, his reputation had gone up two levels, from [Friendly] to [Respected] and then from [Respected] to [Honored].
This was the effect of reaching Grandmaster status. It was an exalted status that basically gave a player a free pass in every region, even in the Empires, where none of the other reputations worked.
However, right now, Liam needed this reputation for another vital task.
Acalan had warned him about a corrupted mana core. Though he did not feel anything at the moment, he trusted the old man enough to take his warning seriously.
It was time to pay the old elf another visit. "Let me see how he is rejecting me this time." After putting in so much effort, Liam was quite confident in the final result.
Lyana had called him to celebrate, but the two of them took the teleportation gate to the royal city, where the main target lived.
They stopped outside the magnificent building where the old guy lived and announced themselves to the guards standing outside.
Just like the others, the two guards were also very respectful and rushed to do their bidding. One minute passed… Two minutes passed… Soon it was an entire ten minutes, and the two did not return.
Liam's face twitched. What was taking so long? The triumphant smile he had worn consistently was starting to fade as he had a bad feeling about this.
Do I need to increase my reputation even higher? A frightening thought popped into his head.
As if answering his question, the next instant, a tremendous pressure descended upon him as if a God himself descended from the heavens, and Liam fell face down, flat on the hard paved ground. Without any warning, he was being crushed all over again.
What the fuck! Liam was furious. He could hear the distinct, belligerent laughter coming from inside, which he was pretty sure was mocking him.
Just what the hell did he do to piss off this damned elf that he was being treated in this manner even with his Grandmaster status and Honored reputation?
Did his reputation mean nothing at all? Was his Grandmaster status a joke? Was Acalan really friends or enemies with this damned old guy?
Liam was going crazy as he picked himself back up again when the pressure eventually waned. He was speechless, utterly speechless.
He had done everything in his power, luck was on his side, and he even achieved something impossible using knowledge from his past life.
What more could he possibly do now? Who else could if he couldn't get this old man to give in? He was entirely out of his wits. He just did not know how to proceed with this damned thing anymore.
"Sir Liam…" Lyana worriedly looked at him. She did not know why Liam was hell-bent on making the eccentric elder acknowledge him.
The elven royal family was known for their arrogance, but even among them, the elder was a special case. She was also helpless here, so she could only silently watch.
Meanwhile...
Back in the Gresh Kingdom, at the Crimson Abyss headquarters, all the core members of the guild had assembled in the conference hall, and the group looked extremely serious.
