Chapter 153 152. White Swan (2).
'Who was White Swan's target? Ned Benson! How would I survive? Simple! By guiding White Swan to his target!' Eo Jung did a Q and A in his mind, found a very appealing answer and acted on it as his attitude took a perfect 180 degree turn.
"Thank you." White Swan thanked Eo Jung and followed him, but....
"Vice-guild master! What're you..." A man with broad sword roared in outrage, and....
SPLATTER
The man who objected was crushed to death in an instant, before he could even finish his argument! Who did it? Of course, it was White Swan who didn't even turn back to see who did it, the man had turned into a lump of blooded meat before anyone could even react! His death instilled fear in those present, causing them to turn pale, while two guild members passed out with a pale face and foam oozing from their mouths, and this action was being broadcasted in real-time, making those who watched tremble in fear.
An eerie silence descended in the guild's premises.
"Shall we?" White Swan spoke, breaking the eerie silence and instilling more and more fear in those who were present with each and every one of his actions.
'Th-this!?? This is White Swan?? What's so white about him? F**k!?!' Eo Jung thought while trembling in fear as his mind subconsciously made a pun.
"Y-yes, o-of co-course!" Eo Jung smiled forcefully and lead White Swan into the guild building as his back and forehead was covered in cold sweat.

BAM
The ginger-haired man busted open a room door. The room was 50 feet wide and 20 feet tall, with many shattered vases and other items on the ground. There was a desk near the end of the room in front of a wide glass window that covered the entire back wall of the room, and on the chair behind the desk sat the Iron scars guild master, with hair on the desk and blood trickling down on his face, as if he had pulled out his hair because he didn't know what else to do.
With a smile on his face and his shirt drenched in cold sweat, the smart man opened the door and led me to his guild master.
"...." I stared at the smart man who was the guild's strongest member; at first, I assumed he was the guild master, but quickly dismissed that notion because I had seen an image of what the guild master looked like.
"Gi-guild ma-master, y-yu-you ha-have a ge-guest." He stuttered and looked like he was about to pass out.
"Heikk!" Ned Benson shrieked in fear and turned pale in an instant.
The smart man seemed to understand why I was staring at him because he walked forward and led me to the chair in front of the desk.
"Thank you." I thanked the smart man and took a seat in front of Ned Benson.
CLUNK
A dull metallic sound reverberated throughout the silent room as I placed my pistol on the table, which materialized on my right palm after I sat down.
"Hello, I'm White Swan, the one who is going to kill you as per my clients request." I introduced myself, leaned back in my chair, and stared at the pitiful figure of a man claiming to be the guild master.
"Heh!" Ned Benson suddenly grinned as his gaze fell on the pistol; he was in such a pathetic state that he didn't even hide his disgusting grin as his eyes seemed to have finally found hope.
"Hm? I think it is always better to share a joke." I said with a apathetic expression.
"Huh?" Ned seemed to snap out of his daze when he heard my voice.
"I mean, you were laughing, so I thought there was something funny." I explained and continued to stare at him, while Ned Benson was grinning widely, the smart man was turning paler by the second.
"Hahahaha! Of course, you fool! Who will be scared of a toy?" Ned pointed at my gun and laughed out loud, took out a broad sword from his inventory.
"Oh!" I nodded my head in understanding when realized why he was acting like that; I thought he went insane from fear, but it was because of the gun! Of course, guns were rendered useless for those who had awakened, so there is nothing wrong with him underestimating the power of a gun, but....
It is different matter if it is 'my' gun.
"Aye! Call all of over guild members in here!" Ned ordered the smart man, who instead looked at me, and when I looked back at him with a nonchalant expression, he flinched and took a step back.
"Oi, what are you doing!?" Ned roared.
"Y-yes." The smart man nodded without an ounce of respect towards his guild master, then summoned all of the Iron Scars guild members to the guild master's room.
And why was I just staring at them while they did whatever they wanted? Because it was the first target after a two-month hiatus and....
"The more they are, the more flashier it is." I grinned and the smart man who heard me shuddered and looked at his guild master.
"Guild master!" He suddenly called Ned out.
"What?" Ned roared in irritation.
"I'll go and order them to hurry from the outside! If I see anybody running away, I'll kill them, then and there!" He said as his eyes set ablaze with light blue mana.
"Good! That's why I trust you more! Go and bring them in!" Ned said with wide savage grin.
"A smart man indeed." I nodded my head.
***
In Iron scars guild master's room.
Around a hundred people were present, each armed to the teeth with weapons in their hands, while the room was filled with an eerie silence, and there was one white masked handsome man who sat on the chair with an apathetic expression, while a muscular man stood behind the masked handsome man, glaring.
The handsome figure covered in white crossed his right leg on his left, slightly leaned to the right, rested his right elbow on the armrest and rested his masked cheek on his right fist, though it was just a simple gesture his aura instantly changed to that of a domineering one as it seemed to suffocate those that were in front of him.
"Where is Eo Jung!?" Ned roared in outrage.
"Hm? You mean the smart man? He ran away of course, are you dumb? Look, you're killing your guild members because of how dumb you are." White Swan said pointing at armed guild members with his left index finger, nonchalantly.
"Wha..." Ned wanted to ask what nonsense he was speaking, but was cut short by him.
"Look, everybody who welcomed me ran away. Ah, don't worry, you'll know why soon enough." He said and Ned who realized that what he said was true felt a sudden chill run down his spine.
"Shall we start the party?"
