Hunter Academy: Revenge of the Weakest

Chapter 914 210.2 - News Spread

"The Hartley Guild was hit hard. Twelve of their dungeons were attacked yesterday. Twelve."

Julia's eyes widened slightly, but it was Irina who reacted first. "Wait, what?"

Ethan exhaled, letting his gaze drift across the room before speaking again.

"Marin Kont. Royce Grant. Valencia Marlowe." He said their names one by one, letting the weight of them settle. "All three are gone."

Julia leaned back slightly, crossing her arms, trying to absorb the information. "Damn…"

Irina frowned, deep in thought. "I know those names. They weren't just strong—they were pillars in your guild's leadership."

Lilia, who had been quiet, finally spoke. "I met them," she said, her voice subdued. "During the joint operations between the military and Hartley's guild. Marin was in charge of coordination for high-risk dungeons. Royce handled strategic security, and Valencia… she was an iron wall. No nonsense, no hesitation."

Carl, who had remained his usual unreadable self, finally gave a small nod. "I met them too," he said simply.

Olympus Vanguard, Lilia's guild, was a direct ally of the Hartleys. They had worked together before, in large-scale operations where the military and elite guilds needed to coordinate efforts. Losing three executives of that caliber wasn't just a loss—it was a statement.

"I hope everything's under control," Lilia murmured. "If things are escalating this quickly, the capital might not stay safe for long."

Ethan ran a hand through his hair. "It's worse than that."

Julia raised an eyebrow. "There's more?"

"Yeah." Ethan leaned forward, resting his elbows on the desk. "Emily's guild was attacked too. Azure Crest."

That got their attention.

Emily wasn't close with anyone in this group—except for Ethan—but they all knew her.

As if on instinct, their gazes shifted toward the chestnut-haired girl sitting a few rows ahead.
