The Author's POV

Chapter 317

Click—!

The usual clicking sound rang out, and three heads rolled on the ground.

Of the three demons I had just killed, none were titled demons, and as such, they died by a simple tap of my sword.

—Rumble!

It was then that the ground suddenly shook. Turning my head and staring towards the distance, where the sound came from, I soon spotted two figures standing in the sky face to face with each other.

One figure resembled a human, while the other was the same demon from before. The Marquis ranked one.

"Is that Waylan?"

Upon closer look, I realized that the human figure was non-other than Waylan Roshfield, Emma's father.

'…so they've decided to send him out?'

From what I've heard, each side of the city had multiple ranked individuals assigned.

Being on the safer side, the northern area had fewer assigned ranks, and from the looks of it, Waylan was part of the group in charge of keeping the northern area safe.

There were definitely more waiting on standby, but it seems like they've thought that Waylan was enough.

—BOOOM!

A strong gale suddenly brushed past me.

This came as a result of Waylan and the demon releasing their aura in the sky.

"Ukhh…"

Leaning forward slightly and covering my face with my arm, I tried my best to remain balanced. My clothes fluttered wildly, and a paper-like sound echoed next to my ears.

The already oppressive air became even more oppressive, and the colors black and gold suddenly enveloped the sky.

Soon, the two majestic auras clashed together.

[Ashton city, Starlight guild.]

Clank—!

"This way, young master."

The limousine soon stopped in front of an enormous modern building.

The building had a streamlined design with glass coating the outer surface of the building. The minimalistic and simplistic design of the building was indeed a sight to those that saw it from below.

In fact, it was so well designed that it had become a tourist attraction to those that came from outside of Ashton city.

Casually glancing at the building, Jin followed Eleonore inside.

Standing at the building entrance were a lot of people that ranged from heroes, mercenaries, agents, and tourists. All were eagerly trying their best to enter the place.

Jin didn't have much trouble entering the building as Eleonore's aura made those that obstructed their path move away in fear.

The interior of the building was finely decorated with neat and simplistic furniture that perfectly complemented the calm ambiance of the place.

Having been in this place ever since young, Jin casually glanced at his surroundings before heading deeper into the building.

As he walked, all of the staff bowed their heads in reverence.

Had it been the old Jin, he would've savored the looks coming from the staff, but now he was different.

He no longer cared for such looks.

Di Ding—!

Stopping in front of the elevator, the door soon opened, and Eleonore stopped to the side to let Jin in.

"Young master, please."

Lowering his head in acknowledgment, Jin entered the elevator. Eleonore followed after and pressed on the bottom that led to the highest floor.

As soon as she pressed on the bottom, the elevator reached the top floor within a couple of seconds.

It was so fast that by the time the doors closed, they immediately opened after.

Di Ding—!

Exiting the elevator and casually looking around the top floor, Jin turned right and walked towards a certain office.

In front of the office was a small reception where a male receptionist greeted him with a smile.

"Young Master, the master is waiting for you."
