An Extra’s POV

Chapter 439

"I'll get straight to the point."

The Guildmaster closed his eyes and took in a deep breath. His deep tone perfectly represented the mature features that were vividly outlined on his face.

"Congratulations on joining the highest echelon in this trade we call Adventuring." He said, looking at the three newcomers.

—Jet, Lux, and Sebas.

In his eyes, all three were splendid. They would make for good candidates to succeed him once he no longer occupied the position of Guildmaster.

'I'm not growing any younger. Someone will have to step up eventually…' He often said this as a joke, but he genuinely meant it.

He—Richard Lysth—was not as strong as he was in his prime.

After reaching the pinnacle of strength, the only place you could go was down. As such, his abilities were already showing a rapidly growing rate of decline.

He didn't think he would last another decade before he had to permanently retire from this position.

'To do that, though, I need a capable successor.'

Before the advent of the three newcomers, he only had Noah and Britta, and just a month ago… there was only the latter.

The numbers had increased so much in such a short span that he couldn't help but be relieved.

'Is this some kind of sign?' Richard thought to himself with a wry smile. 'It seems my time as Guildmaster is coming to an end sooner than I imagined.'

He just had to choose his successor before then.

'I can't choose any of the Vice Guildmasters, so it has to be one of these ones.'

The operations of the Adventurer Guild was too vast for just one or two people to properly manage. As a result, there were five Vice Guildmasters in total.

Two belonged to his faction, and they wholeheartedly agreed with his decision to seek an heir outside the administrative system of the Guild.
