Ethan waited long enough at the front gate of the Heaven Palace guild base. One of the gate guards went inside to inform Issac.
After around ten minutes passed, Ethan looked ahead and clearly saw a man walking toward him. He ca with the sa guard who had gone to et him earlier.
From the userna floating above his head, he could see the na IssacRaven. Obviously, this was Issac, the guild master of Heaven Palace.
He arrived without wearing armor. His appearance had been switched from armor to a costu, even though most people preferred the armored look.
The front gate opened, Issac stepped out, and stood in front of Ethan. They shook hands and smiled, their eyes at the sa level, aning Ethan and Issac were the sa height.
"How are you, Sir Ethan?" Issac greeted.
"Good. Looks like you’re living comfortably in my city, Master Issac."
"Mavelard is the best city. I can do a lot here besides taking care of my guild," Issac replied.
"Does that include committing cris?" Ethan asked.
Issac fell silent for a mont, his focus still locked forward, staring at Ethan carefully. The two gate guards watched their faces turn serious, as if the two n were fighting through their eyes.
In the end, Issac ended it with a smile toward Ethan. He didn’t answer Ethan’s question. Instead, he invited Ethan to enter the guild base.
Ethan didn’t refuse. He followed behind Issac, watching the crowd inside the Heaven Palace guild hall.
Won turned and waved at Ethan with smiles, greeting him warmly, hoping they could catch the attention of EthanArk.
"If you like them, you can take one of those won. I’ll let them go just for you," Issac said.
"I’m married," Ethan replied.
Issac glanced back and checked the status above his head. He was right. Ethan was married, and his partner was AshleyLeon123.
Everything made sense since Ethan and Ashley were in the sa guild, both serving as guild master and vice master.
There was a garden, a fountain, dorms, and even a training field around the Heaven Palace guild complex.
In the center stood a large two-story building that served as the guild headquarters. That was where Issac and all the guild officers worked.
Issac didn’t plan to welco Ethan in the guild hall but in his office. Before going up to the second floor, he stopped a staff mber and asked her to call all the officers.
He clearly wanted every officer to co to his office. The female staff mber understood what she needed to do.
Several of them kept glancing at Ethan. To them, Ethan was the first person ever picked up in person by Master Issac. Normally, other guild masters ca to et Issac inside his office.
The special treatnt Issac gave Ethan was more than enough to show how important Ethan was in his eyes.
Up on the second floor, Issac opened the door right away and revealed his office. Ethan was slightly surprised to see the room full of won wearing sexy outfits, drinking, and soaking in a large bathtub.
Ethan narrowed his eyes. It wasn’t sothing he usually saw. Still, Ethan’s expression showed Issac that he was clearly surprised by the office.
"Many people react the sa way you did. So make yourself comfortable," Issac said.
I’m definitely not comfortable in this situation. What is he even thinking?
Ethan cleared his throat and nodded. He walked forward, toward the long sofa where Issac was sitting. Ethan sat down and accepted a glass of wine from Issac. It tasted the sa as his own wine.
Soon, the office door opened again. Ten officers entered with their heads lowered. Ethan watched them co in. They behaved strangely.
There were two large bathtubs in the room, with three won soaking inside them, wearing sexy bikinis and showing their smooth white skin.
All ten officers were n. Naturally, they would be interested in such a sight, but none of them dared look at the won in the bathtubs.
"Give your greetings to Sir Ethan. He ca to visit us today," Issac said.
The officers nodded. They smiled, bowed their heads, and greeted Ethan politely. Ethan nodded back, pleased with their manners.
One officer dared to glance sideways toward one of the won in the tub. Issac noticed it. He imdiately shouted with an angry face, frowning, pointing his finger at the man.
"Don’t look at my won. If you do it again, I’ll kill you!"
The man panicked. He dropped to his knees and banged his head against the floor several tis, begging for Issac’s rcy.
This isn’t the Heaven Palace Guild. This is Hell Palace.
Issac nodded and gave a small gesture for the man to stand and act normal. Then he turned and smiled at Ethan, telling him not to worry about it.
Since Ethan was Issac’s special guest, he was free to look at all the won as much as he wanted. Issac even openly offered Ethan the chance to take one of the six won ho.
"I didn’t co here for won," Ethan said.
He pulled out the file on Issac and dropped it onto the table. Issac narrowed his eyes, curious about what Ethan brought.
Issac told one of the officers to read the file. The officer took it, examined it closely, and his face twisted in shock when he realized it was a criminal record.
"T-This... this is your criminal record," the officer said, surprising Issac.
"Criminal record?!" Issac snapped.
He hurriedly grabbed the file, clearly seeing all the cris he had committed, from stealing in other guilds’ shops, assaulting mbers of other guilds, and even committing murder.
He had never been touched by the law because none of the security teams dared to go after him. They knew his strength. It was hard to capture a high-level guild master like Issac.
"What the—"
"This is fake! I never did any of this!"
"Sigh."
"Let’s make this simple, Master Issac," Ethan said.
"What?" Issac asked, his face pale as Ethan stood and stepped away from the sofa.
Ethan stared at Issac with sharp eyes, a grin lifting on his lips.
"You need to pay your compensation."
"Compensation?" Issac asked.
"Yes. With a guild as big as Heaven Palace, it should be easy for you to give us the money, right?"
"If you want to escape punishnt, you’ll have to pay."
"What do you want?" Issac asked, curious.
Ethan smiled. He added that the criminal case tied to Issac was serious and dangerous. He couldn’t just let Issac go without close supervision from soone.
Locking him up would also affect the city’s stability, especially since Ethan had read that the number of mbers in Heaven Palace Guild was over five hundred and under one thousand.
If they saw their guild leader arrested on criminal charges, it wouldn’t be impossible for people from his guild to co and protect him.
"I already wrote the compensation fee in that file. You can read it and pay it right away," Ethan said.
"And what if I refuse?"
"I’ll co back here with the security team. I’ll make sure you and everyone involved in this case are thrown in jail and punished according to the rules."
