Omega Summoner

Chapter 2310: Bringing the Accused III



(Adrian POV)

I already sensed the three knights coming towards the door plus there is a hidden old man in the mix. I am really curious how they are going to approach Piggy Bank which is why I made sure to minimize my presence. Just as I thought, the knights barely recognize me which is why they became haughty in capturing Piggy Bank.

Seeing Piggy Bank panicked, I had no other choice but to protect him. I released some of my own aura towards them and two of the knights could barely stand up. I did mix some gravity manipulation with the aura, but it seems those two are weak. They could barely stand up when I only increased their gravity by a value of one while the rest are all my aura.

I tried talking some sense into these three knights but it they did not listen. I also felt this uncomfortable feeling when looking at them and sensing the area around them. It felt like their own aura of greed is being worn like a coat around them. This feeling is not something that I like sensing as this is the downside of such powerful senses.

I was about to punish them for their insolence but the old dude that was hiding showed himself. He introduced himself as the High Wizard Dore and it seems Piggy Bank knew him as well. Unlike the other three, High Wizard Dore felt like talking to a functional human being. He does not have the same aura as those three knights that I really want to crush.

I would have killed them, but I knew that this would lead to even more trouble. The last thing that I want now is dealing with headaches which is why I spared them. Even if I do spare them, any hostile intent will prompt the Shades hidden in the shadows around us to spring up and eliminate the threat. They always tail me when I am in the territory, but they do back off when I am inside the guild house.

At first, the Shades wanted to stick onto my shadow, but they all backed off when they saw who was occupying it. Instead, the Shades made sure to follow me in Avalon by jumping from shadow to shadow. I was jus thinking on what I will say when the knight leader suddenly drew or rather tried to draw his sword.

About half of the Shades hidden in the shadows suddenly sprang up and pointed all their weapons at the visitor that we have. They only retreated when the knight leader dropped his sword. It seems that the knight leader's perception of the world shattered as I can already feel his disarrayed thoughts. He might be thinking of a way to salvage this situation.

I released my aura again about 40% of it to test how powerful they really are but all three knights fainted. The only one that can stand up was High Wizard Dore but even I can see his knees are already giving out. I heard from him that Piggy Bank needed to really attend the hearing in person. I turned to ask Piggy Bank but even he is not sure if he should go.

Seeing that Piggy Bank was indecisive, I immediately told him that I could send some bodyguards with him if he wanted to. There was a side comment from the old wizard, but he backed down after a meaningful stare from me. Piggy Bank finally agreed with going back to the main merchant guild. He was suddenly enthusiastic about the bodyguard, but I suddenly thought of something fun.

"How about I accompany you since I am not busy now?"

"Eh?!" Both Piggy Bank and High Wizard Dore exclaimed as they seem to not expect my suggestion.

"I believe that the Lord of Avalon must have more pressing matters to attest to." High Wizard Dore stated but I just ignored what he said and looked at Piggy Bank for a reply.

"Is that fine with you? I could take any of the Daemos Corps member that you assign to me. If it is too much trouble, then you could just delegate someone else." Piggy Bank stated which somehow made the High Wizard Dore sigh with relief.

"It is not a problem for me since I have nothing better to do. Also, I want to see the main merchant guild as well."

"What if they find Branch Leader Piggy Bank hostile because you came with him, Lord of Avalon? It would be a poor reception if they think that Branch Leader Piggy Bank came to fight as you are very powerful and well known." The High Wizard Dore stated but this time I did not ignore it.

"Will that be case if I came with you?"

"That will be the case even if another demon comes with me. Any external force that is not of the merchant guild will be seen as a threat if they enter the main guild. The High Wizard Dore is correct in assuming that I brought a tactical nuke to a normal hearing." Piggy Bank stated but I suddenly smiled as I saw a very interesting subskill on one of my skills.

"What if I do not walk with you inside of the main guild?" I told them with a smile which made them look bewildered as they did not expect such a question from me.

(End of POV)

"Will this really work?" Piggy Bank suddenly asked as he is stroking a small tiger cat.

"I do not know but I will make sure to just protect you as I promised. Thankfully, these three idiots did not wake up when we were in a discussion." The High Wizard Dore stated as he looked at the small cat that looked like a white tiger on the arms of Piggy Bank with great@@novelbin@@

nervousness.

"Just go in and make sure that you act normal." Adrian, who is the small cat that looks like a white tiger, stated via the messenger to Piggy Bank.
