Chapter-12 Confrontation at the Entrance

"So you finally decided to show up?" said a man as he was exiting the guild building.

Jia stopped, recognising the man's voice, then turned around to look at him. He had brown hair and a muscular build, dressed in a suit with a smug smile on his face.

"You don't have any authority to stop me, team leader Han." said Meng Yue in an annoying tone.

" Who said anything like that… I just don't want you to lose an opportunity to pay your bills. Who knows what would happen if you couldn't pay for your nephew's medical fees on time?"

"You!! " She didn't expect he would bring out her nephew in the conversation.

" Jeez, calm down! …What would your nephew say if he saw that you are playing with a young man while he is fighting for his life?" He pointed at Feng, mistaking him for her lover.

" You Basta*d!!! Don't bring my family!" She couldn't control herself and lashed out on him.

[A/N : She should have just went onto his face then smacked him on his cheek, shouting "Keep my family name out of your fuc*ing mouth."]

"Well, I think he would be happy to know that his aunt is doing fine even in these tough times, instead of blaming her, right sweetie? " Zhao Feng could hear the jealousy in his tone.

" Yes!! He would be grateful that I'm still taking time to enjoy young men." She clearly understood his intention and proceeded with it.

" Tsk, tsk, poor Feng, here I thought you cared for him, but it seems like you are just a sl*t, spreading her legs to get young boytoys."

"Oh!! Are you angry that you couldn't get that sl*t to spread her legs after trying for two years?" She even went further by locking her fingers with Feng's.

"You!! fuck*ng Sl*t." Han's face was a sight to behold; if he were in a cartoon, there would be smoke coming out of his ears. He cursed a few words at her and stormed back into the building.

"Aunt, who was that fool?" Zhao Feng asked,

"Sigh… He has been pestering me to marry him, but fuck*r go around and sleep with whoever he gets any chance with." Jia said it in a hateful tone.

' There seems to be a story.' He could tell from his aunt's tone that she hated that guy to her guts, and she was the type of person who doesn't get angry pretty easily, much less hate someone.

" Uncle Long, were you worried about Han doing something?" asked Jia.

" No! No! The problem is not Han but the next commission; just go and don't come back before next week." He still kept urging her to leave.

Before Jia could tell the old man about her terminating the contract, they were cursed again with Han's voice.

"Sir, there's the last taunter we have been waiting for." Han came back, this time bringing a young boy and girl with him.

The young boy had blonde hair with matching golden eyes and was dressed in a cream suit with a white shirt inside, giving him a calm aura, while on the other hand, the girl was dressed in a scarlet skirt with a white top, while her shoulder length blonde hair kept waving and her golden eyes kept dancing around.

"Brother, she is so ugly," said the girl, looking at Jia.

"Sister, how many times have I told you that you shouldn't say those words out loud?" This has been the habit of her sister to run off her mouth without other parties consent.

"I'll be careful in the future." She repeated the same lines she had been saying for, god knows, how many days.

"Miss, are you the taunter I contracted yesterday?" asked the young boy in a polite manner.

" Yes." Jia gave a simple reply.

" We would like to depart as soon as possible," said the young boy in a calm tone.

"Sorry, I won't be able to come into the dungeon." Jia finally went on to the reason she was here.

" You are really brave, Jia. Do you know who this young man is?" Han intercepted their conversation while keeping a smug smile on his face.

" Why the sudden change? Was the payment not up to the standard?" The boy ignored Han's presence completely and asked her.

She didn't keep it a secret for long. "No, the payment was good, but I don't think I can continue in this line of work."

"Oh, I can understand that, but we also need a taunter; you know how hard it is to find a taunter with a good reputation on such short notice." The young man tried to convince her.

"Sorry, but I can't come …Why don't I connect you to someone I know?" She might have rejected them, but still, it was her fault for backing out of the deal.

Han wanted to intercept again but before he could open his mouth,

"Hmm, that works." The young boy agreed with a smile.

On the other hand, Han was looking at the conversation with a deep frown on his face.

She then sent them the information of another taunter, after which both parties went their separate ways.

"Brother, why did you leave that ugly bit*ch alone?" She knew her brother inside and out; he wasn't the kind to leave anyone alone after someone ditched them.

"Sister, you might not have felt it, but the young man beside her was strong."

"Still, not like he could do anything to you?" She still wasn't convinced by his reason.

"Sigh.. sister, when will you understand, there's always a clan behind such talented people."

" Oh! Good call then." She still clearly remembered that one famous incident where a servant of a clan was injured by the guild, and the next day everyone related to the guild disappeared without anyone's notice.

"And stop calling random people ugly." He pinched both of her cheeks, he was getting tired of dealing with his sister's habit of shaming random people.

" Aou! E'll be Carefol" (I'll be careful)

"Good girl." He finally released his cheeks.

"Hmph!" she snorted, turning her head to the other side while gently rubbing her cheeks.

[A/N: do you think she would stop?]

" So uncle, is there any more problem?" Jia asked now that she was done with the commission.

"No, no, you are free to come and go anytime you want." All the concern he had was with them taking her to the dungeon, but now that they left her alone, his old bones could finally relax.

"Let's go, Feng. I'll show you around the guild." Still locking hands in hand, she dragged him into the guild.

" Jia!"

As they entered, they heard a female voice, there was a woman standing a little distance away from them. The girl had purple hair and brown eyes with her fair skin, and she was wearing a white crop top showcasing all the scars on her upper body and blue jeans to match her top.

"Jenny, when did you come back?" From what Jia heard, Jenny was in the dungeon yesterday.

"Well, I came back in the evening, but who is this young man, maybe your boyfriend?" asked Jenny, looking suspiciously at Feng.

"I'm Zhao Feng, her nephew." Zhao Feng decided to introduce himself.

"Oh, so you are him, huh? You know how much your aunt su-" She wasn't very happy looking at Feng.

" Jenny!"

"Hey, hey, he has to know, and you won't stop me." Jenny wasn't going to back down until she told him about his aunt's past.

"Jenny, please!" Jia was literally begging with her voice.

" Sigh… It'd be better if your aunt told you directly." She decided to back off the subject.

' What is she hiding? '

"So, are you showing him the guild?" Jenny decided to change the subject.

"Hmm." Jia also played her part.

"Then why don't you start from the basement?" Jenny gave them a suggestion

"Do you also want to join?" Jia knew the answer and still asked the question.

"Na, I'm busy with something." said Jenny while lip syncing 'meet me at the top' towards Feng. He had an idea why she would do something like that and agreed to her request.

After going separate ways, Jia took Zhao Feng to the basement, showing him the training room, after which she took him to the equipment room, where most of the guild's weapons were stored.

Next stop was the first floor, but it wasn't anything exciting as it was the office for the pr team of the guild, which was busy taking care of the mess their guild members made in public.

After that, she took him to the second floor, which was filled with awakeners and their managers. Most of the higher ranking awakeners were away from the guild, making it easy for them to move around without any trouble.

"The third floor is reserved for important guests and executive level employees. The guild leader's office is also located on that floor."

"Aunt, are you sure your guild is just Bronze ranked?" He was having a little trouble believing that such a guild was just the lowest of them.

"Yep, we are just Bronze III, still, it's much better than the infinite, unrecognised guilds out there." There were so many struggling guilds trying to get a rank from the WAA to go mainstream, but her guild was one of the few ones that was recognised by the WAA.

"Aunt, do you know where the bathroom is?" Zhao Feng suddenly asked.

"Hmm, on the right corner from the elevator."

"I'll be back in sometime, till then, take this and cancel your contract with the guild." He handed her the card and told her the password.

" Alright."

They went together till they reached the elevator, after which she left for the third floor while Zhao Feng went into the washroom.

After a minute, Jia left, and Zhao Feng came out of the bathroom and took the elevator to the rooftop. When he reached the rooftop, there was a woman standing against the fence, waiting for someone.

" Alright, continue what you were saying before."

To Be Continued…

Meng Yue and Changming were having a staredown.

" Yue, I know you have more power stones."

"I really gave you all the stones I have."

"Ohh, then what are those?" Changming lifted the pillow, exposing a small pile of power stones.
