Vampire's Slice Of Life Chapter 247 Threat

“I would’ve called you a dog who eats s.h.i.+t if I wanted to disrespect you. I just want my money, give it to me and I’ll leave. Don’t even bother bickering with me.”

Silence…

The entire lobby turned silent as Lith mocked the Finance head of the guild with visible disdain on his face.

The Finance Head felt a tight imaginary slap on his face as he heard Lith mocking him. He was already raging because of Lith’s previous remarks, but now, his disdain and mocking intensified it even further.

He wanted to beat Lith up right then and there but he couldn’t do so. He was helpless. Rules were rules and breaking them won’t end well even for him.

“Guards, throw this guy out of the vicinity of the guild. I’ll personally escort him out of this area after it.” The Finance Head said in an angry tone to the guards.

“Yes, sir!” The guards immediately got to work.

“Take even a step further and it won’t end well.” Lith said fiercely to the three guards.

The guards stopped once again. They were bound to as that was just how domineering Lith’s tone was.

“Why are you stopping!? Go throw him out!” The Finance Head yelled.

The guards got out of their trance and once again rushed towards Lith.

The guards closed in on Lith and he simply cast a freezing spell on the three and had them stop in their tracks.

He looked at the bird once again and said in a serious tone, “if you don’t come out right now, this small commotion would become big. When that happens, don’t blame me if your guild gets wiped out.”

Everyone heard this and gasped in shock. Did this little guy just give a threat to wipe the entire guild off? Where did his courage come from? Did he think of himself as some sort of bigshot?

Lith was fighting for two silver coins and everyone knew about it. They couldn’t believe that Lith had the power to wipe the guild. If he really did, he wouldn’t really come to this place and make a commotion just to get two silver coins.

His threat didn’t actually seem serious to everyone and they felt his words to be nothing but an ignorant fool’s death wish.

…..

At the top of the Jingmei Guild.

Inside an office.

“This brat definitely has a death wish, it seems. He straight away gave a threat to the guild without thinking twice. And things got to such a situation just for two silver coins.” A tall and skinny man in black mage robes said while sitting on a sofa to the other person in the room.

The other person was a man in his early 30s with a fit body, having a stubble on his chin and his hair unkempt and a bit messy. He was drinking coffee and was looking at the screen in front of him.

On the screen was Lith and he was looking straight in the eyes of the man drinking coffee and saying the threat.

The man put down his coffee and said to the skinny guy in a slightly tired tone with his brows knitted slightly, “Levesky, our guild is getting corrupted and eaten from the inside out.”

“Hmm? What? That came out of nowhere.” Levesky, the tall and skinny man, said to the man in his early 30s.

“You know, sometimes to cause a forest fire, only a little spark is needed. The thing that had happened just now was bound to happen sooner or later. We should actually be glad that it happened now.” The man said and sighed.

“What are you saying, Levi? How are the two things connected in any form or way?” Levesky said.

Levi, the man sitting on a chair behind a desk in his early 30s, said to Levesky,

“Do you remember the days when we were adventuring and were affiliated with a small guild?”

“I do. That’s how we became friends, how can I forget?” Levesky said in a neutral tone.

“Do you remember the ambitions we started having after we got scammed by those guild people?” Levi said with a small smile this time.

Levesky nodded. “We planned on starting our own guild, one where you and I would have the highest authority and would be able to move hundreds of thousands of people with just one command.

A place where there’s no corruption, a place where any adventurer could come and go freely, a place which homeless adventurers could call their home, and a place where lots and lots of good memories are made.”

Levi nodded hearing this. He then asked again, but this time with a smile, “now tell me, were we successful in creating such a place, Levesky?”

Levesky nodded and said, “of course… not.”

Levesky changed his answer halfway when he realized a few things. He turned silent as he thought deeply about those few things.

Levi didn’t disturb him and just watched in silence with a sad smile on his face. He was a bit sad as it had not been a few days, weeks or months, but years since the guild had started falling apart.

It was happening because a few people they trusted, stabbed them in their backs and were misusing their powers in the guild. This led to corruption and the guild was being eaten by these moles inside out.

Levi wanted to take action before but he didn’t do so as Levesky hadn’t realized about the situation yet and those corrupt people hadn’t caused damage to the guild that may seem visible to the two.

He could only wait until the day when they had solid proof about these people and clean the filth of the guild in one clean swipe. The actions of Lith made Levi know that today was the day he should and needs to take action.

Thus, he dropped some hints to Levesky and made him realize that there were problems in the guild which he hadn’t noticed.

A few minutes later, Levesky got up from his chair and said to Levi, “I am sorry, I was too late to realize this. Come, let’s go, there’s a lot of things that we need to do.”

Levi smiled, this time it was a happy smile, and got up and left the office along with Levesky.

…..

In the lobby.

“Rule number 7, bringing trouble to the guild or threatening it would result in severe punishment and any staff member can take action if needed.” The Finance Head smiled like a maniac and said.

“Boy, do you know what it means? It means I can kill you right here, right now.” The Finance Head said while licking his lips and looking at him like a maniac.

That was what he wanted to do for so long. He wanted to kill Lith for his insolence.

Lith, with the same indifferent tone as before, looked at the Finance Head and said,

“Bark less, bite more, dog.”
