Chapter: 113

Sullivan raised an eyebrow as he looked up from his paper “What do you suggest?”

“Sending some of your more advanced younger adventurers to resolve it.”

Sullivan curled his lips “I see. I have a few in mind. Write down the details, and I’ll send them.”

“Thank you sir. Time is of the essence so I’ll send a note up with Anya shortly” Sullivan nodded as Michael bowed his head before leaving.

Sullivan put his paper down and sipped his coffee, pursing his lips as he thought to himself “Yes.. I think Anya’s ready.”

“Morning” Anya yawned, entering Sullivan’s office and sitting down with half-opened eyes, sipping a coffee and holding a half-eaten muffin. She put the muffin down and took a note out of her pocket, handing it to her dad.

“Goodmorning,” Sullivan smiled tenderly. It seemed like the only person he smiled at was his daughter.

Sullivan grabbed the note as Anya said “It’s from Michael.” handing her dad the note, she grabbed her muffin back off the desk and continued to eat it.

“Mm” Sullivan read the note, understanding the situation Michael was talking about before looking up at Anya. He watched his daughter eat for a moment before he talked.

“There’s a situation. A village south-east of here is being attacked by a band of forest monsters. I estimate about fifty of the monsters. It’s a two day’s walk from here. I want you to head there and resolve it…” Sullivan looked away as he thought for a moment, before looking back at Anya “Take Jay, and choose a few others. Tell the others I wanted you and Jay in a party together while they’re to be in a separate party. This way they won’t discover your class or be freeloading exp.”

“What?” Anya had furrowed brows, still tired from waking up while her father dumped a quest on her out of nowhere.

“Here.” Sullivan handed her the note from Michael. “You should aim to leave before lunch time.”

Anya only sighed as she read the note “What are the monsters?”

“I’ll leave you to figure that out” Sullivan smiled mischievously.

Anya sipped her coffee again. “I get the feeling Jay likes to go solo.”

“Just convince him. Tell him there will be a reward, I’ll think of something special in the meantime. Oh, and take Mark. He’s quite gifted too; his class isn’t unique but he’s a natural spellsword. Two of the guards could’ve handled it so you should take about five adventurers since you’re much lower level.”

“Mark… right. I heard he was planning to join the military. He probably won’t want to leave the village since the military escort is coming tomorrow.”

“Hmm…” Sullivan put his index finger on his cheek and propped his chin on his other clenched fingers while he thought to himself for a moment.

“Tell him he can join later, that we’ll escort him to the nearest military recruitment outpost, and he’ll get there even sooner than the military escort, which still has to travel to numerous villages in the countryside – even if he spends a week doing this quest.”

“Sure. This seems urgent, so I guess I’ll be off… See you in a few days dad” she smiled as she got up, moving around the side of the desk to give Sullivan a hug.

Sullivan smiled warmly, “Watch your back.”


Jay woke up, stretching his body as multiple notifications greeted him.

“Heh, they’re quite productive.” Jay smiled in satisfaction at the free experience, while he calculated he would get about thirty to forty-five rat teeth.
