Chapter 926 Why Are You Plotting To Kill Me?
Liam looked at the three young women in front of him, who seemed rather nervous. They were also clearly uncomfortable with what they were wearing, as the clothes were quite revealing in several places.
What was this new development? Was something going on in his own base without his knowledge?
"Cough. Cough. Who are you all again?" Liam awkwardly asked the three maids.
"So… that's what happened." He facepalmed after hearing the story from the three girls. Apparently, while all of Crimson Abyss was out training or doing something useful, there was a guy who took the time to do this task.
"Why don't one of you prepare something to eat for me?" Liam helplessly shook his head.
"Here, you can just burn these clothes, and you, go and get Hao Yuze for me. And please change your clothes. If you really want to be maids, then it's fine by me, but you don't have to wear such degrading outfits."
"Also, don't think you will be receiving any special benefits just because you chose to become maids here in this house. It is better if you talk to the organizers and get other jobs. I am hardly here, and chances are that you won't even get paid."
After this small chat, the three women lingered around for some time before eventually deciding to leave and join another team with the excuse of wanting to be more helpful.
Liam waved them away as he did not mind. He also did not hold this against them. In these uncertain times, it was common for people to want to be opportunistic. There was nothing wrong with that as long as they did not resort to backstabbing him or the guild.
Shortly after they left, Hao Yuze came rushing to the residence. He looked rather excited to be summoned by Liam himself. However, when he arrived, he only saw a frown on the guild leader's face.
"Did I not help you? Why are you plotting to kill me?" Liam chuckled helplessly and shook his head. He was actually not joking. If Shen Yue had seen this, then… Phew!
"Ah…" Hao Yuze began sweating. "Are you talking about the maids, guild leader?" He asked, a little confused.
"Of course. Wait, what else did you do?" Liam suddenly had a bad feeling.
Hao Yuze immediately shook his head in nervousness. "No. No. Nothing. Nothing. Sorry, I only took the liberty to arrange some maids for you. Otherwise, I am only doing what we discussed before. I started working on the radio communications channels and the electricity supply."
"OK. All of that is good. Keep working hard and do what you are comfortable doing. I know you don't want to train in combat, I would suggest that you rethink that, but ultimately it is up to you. I will not interfere. There are many ways to earn contribution points in the guild. Just don't go appointing maids for me again." Liam awkwardly laughed.
"Our base is not like the military base. Here food and comforts like residence and etc., are rationed based on contribution points, but there is no special treatment for anyone when it comes to other things. No one will be forced to do something they don't want, men or women."
Hao Yuze nodded in embarrassment. He wanted to say that he actually did not force anyone, and several women had jumped at the chance to become personal maids for Liam all by themselves, but he kept quiet.
Liam chatted with the guy a bit more before sending him away. He did not know how many more of these dealings were going around within the guild base.
When there was no government and no organization, these sorts of things were common, and people tried to seek out easier routes to earn food, shelter, and protection. While these dealings were acceptable to some extent, they could easily turn into exploitation.
Haaaa! Liam sighed in exasperation as he couldn't believe that even his guild had problems like this. In his last life, the Gu family's guild was plagued by issues like this. Just like the military base, most of the women there were prostitutes and slaves.
He did not want the same situation to repeat in his guild as well, but he was too tired to deal with these things. He decided to remind Lan Ganjie later about this issue, and for now, he let out a sigh and started using the hot water the maids had prepared for him to clean himself up.
However, even this small task was tiring as he was completely exhausted from the last fight or, rather, the constant tense state he was in for the last couple of days.
Starting with the spider beast, the vampire lords, the blood effigy, the unknown golden crimson essence that was fighting with him for that soul fragment, and lastly, these isons; this was the first break he had after dealing with everything.
"Maybe the maids were not a bad idea…" Liam inwardly chuckled. He lasted two more seconds before giving up and summoning the two vampire twins to his side.
As usual, they were extremely eager to please him and started reaching for a particular muscle, but Liam immediately stopped them. "Nope. Just give me a normal massage and help me take a bath. Also, wake me up in 3 hours."

He was lying on a clean, comfortable bed, and Shen Yue was lying down right beside him. It seemed as if she was watching him the whole time and waiting for him to wake up.
Liam reached out his hand and touched the warm face silently.
Shen Yue shuddered at his touch. "Liam, are you okay?" She asked, her voice dripping with love. He was there to save everyone in the nick of time, but only now was she noticing how tired he looked.
