Chapter: 547

– How do you deal with… ‘annoyances’…?

– How do they leave? Will you teach them that?

– Their responsibilities?

Lara and Lannister answered patiently.

They were not typical questions, but then again, there was nothing typical about this situation.

Generally, people would join them as a last refuge – but this was more like an interview. But what other options did Sullivan have?

Lara wanted to tell him to ‘take it or leave it.’, but she knew that there would be severe penalties if they lost their only opportunity to bring a necromancer into their ranks. It was crucial that everything went smoothly.

After all the questions and the finer details were resolved, Sullivan finally released a satisfied smile.

“Make sure you take care of them.” he slowly spoke with his smooth but powerful voice, his blue eyes seeming to glow ever so faintly for just a moment.

The power behind it seemed like it was almost like a threat, but Lannister just nervously smiled back.

“Of course…” he nodded, “but there is one last thing. We would like to place some listening devices around the guild, for security purposes.” Lannister said, taking a light-purple crystal out and showing it to Sullivan.

“Don’t worry, they won’t be visible.” he said while adding some mana to the crystal.

The crystal turned a deeper purple, and eventually turned black. Once it was completely black it instantly vanished from sight, though it was easy to tell there was still a physical object in his hand.

A small smile began to form on Sullivans face as he watched. He had seen these only once before in his military life – though at that time it was presented to him as an assassins tool.

“Don’t let anyone see you place them.” Sullivan nodded.

Lara gave a smile and was the first to stand up; she was just glad the meeting was over.

She didn’t contribute much, but her body guard role was just as important.

“Just a moment.” Sullivan raised his arm.

“Hm?” Lara gave him a curious look as Sullivan pulled out a communication crystal.

“Margie, I have two friends here. Could you give them a tour of the guild? Also, show them Jay’s room and Anya’s room, and let them wait in the guest quarters once you’ve finished.”

Margaret knew exactly who they were, and was glad she could be of some help.

“Absolutely Sully.” she smiled.

Sullivan tried to not look awkward as he put the crystal away. He really wished she wouldn’t call him ‘Sully’ in front of outsiders.

“Oh, the guest quarters won’t be necessary, but we appreciate the hospitality.” Lannister smiled.

Lara gave him a look of disapproval, but it would be better that they kept their time here to a minimum so Lannister ignored it.
