Chapter 187: Blip's ambitions
Currently, after hearing the news of a new guild emerging and taking over the academy, the big three and all the big powers in the world were worried about the status quo of the world.
That was why the big three leaders were in a meeting over this issue that was troubling them.
The first to speak up was Rex as he was furious about this matter.
"How did Aurora Academy allow this to happen?" Rex shouted.
"I heard there was an internal issue that culminated into betrayal and that was how Aurora fell." Bane said.
"Well isn't this just too convenient, the academy being betrayed, a new guild emerging." Rivock said.
"I wouldn't have felt bothered if it was any other guild that rose up to this level but I heard the leader of the guild is the werewolf slayer." Rex said.
"Ah yes, the one that went toe to toe with that Beta werewolf once." Bane said. "Do we know who he is?"
"Not at all, he is said to wear a mask that conceals his identity keeping it secret." Rivock said.
"Then what are we going to do? How do we solve this problem?" Rex asked.
"Why do we need to get involved?" Bane asked.
"Because it's likely possible for them to disrupt the status quo that has been for years now." Rex said.
"Why don't we just leave them be and see how long they would last." Rivock said.
"What nonsense!" Rex shouted as he slammed his hands on the table almost breaking it but it didn't break it only cracked.
And why would it break? After all it was made by Bane and he used the strongest and rarest material known to man to create almost all his techs which is Hyperalloy.
"You need to calm down." Bane said.
"Why should I keep calm? Who knows maybe that werewolf slayer would be a threat to us." Rex said.
"We won't know for now. My advice is to just let them be and see what happens." Bane said.
Rex just scoffed at this. "And why should we?"
"Because we need all the strength we have right now to win this war." Bane said.
"We have our strength, the independent Guilds and your techs, what else do we need?" Rex asked.
"And do you think they are enough to win this war?" Bane asked.
"Look, we shouldn't be arrogant to think that we can win this war with just what we have, we need all the powers we can get right now." Bane said.
"But what if they become a big problem in the future? Won't it be wise to squash them when they are still small?" Rivock asked.
"Well they will surely be squashed, but not by us." Bane smiled.
"By who?" Rex asked.
"Blip." Bane replied.
"Right, that troublesome Blip. He wouldn't want them to grow more than this, he would try all his best to squash them like the little bug they are." Rex smiled.
"But can Blip do it? We all know that Head General Humfree is part of the guild, and we all know his strength very well. It would be safe to place Head General Humfree at the AA rank." Rivock said.
"And let's not also forget the werewolf slayer too. We don't even have a grade of his strength, we just have to go by the fact that he chased the Beta werewolf on his own which is an impressive feat on its own." Rivock added.
"I'm sure Blip can handle it. He isn't that weak." Rex said.
"Let's see how long they can last in the cruel and competitive world." Rex smirked.

In a huge city, with skyrise buildings, a meeting was taking place in a huge skyscraper.
In a meeting room, there were three men sitting in a round table with an almost similar setting to the big three meeting but this one, a single man was sitting in a higher chair to the others that sat on either side of him.
"Report!" The man said. The man had a scar across his left chin with a menacing look to him and he had a long ponytail on his head.
This man was known as Blip, the leader of the Iron Fist Guild. The most notorious and active independent guild in the world that had a reputation for being troublemakers.
"Sir, the Fang hunter's guild has managed to rebuild themselves and are fully functional." The man on his left hand side said.
"Yes sir, people are trying to migrate to the city after hearing about who the leader of the guild is. Although, the migrations is small." The man on the right hand side said.
"Hmm." Blip said as he stroke his bushy moustache. "How is Raven city doing?"
"We are receiving incomes and taxes nicely but it is quite small and the citizens are complaining that the taxes are to much."
"What!" Blip shouted as he slammed his hands on the arm rest of his chair.
"How dare they complain to me after I have being generous to them by protecting them from any troubles." Blip said.
The men didn't reply as they kept their heads down.
"I think I have been to lenient with them, increase the tax amount to 3 more percent." Blip ordered.
"But sir." The man on the right side said.
"Are you trying to question my orders?" Blip asked.
"No sir." The man quickly said.
"Good." Blip said as he finally relaxed as he took a pack of cigarettes of to the side and put it in his mouth.
One of the men by his side quickly rushed over to light the cigarette for him. After taking a few puffs, Blip finally relaxed.
"Any other news?" Blip asked.
"Yes sir, for you plan, we need more lands so we can have enough resources to execute it perfectly."
"I thought after taking Raven city for ourselves, we would have enough lands for my plan." Blip said.
"Yes we thought so too but the situation is now different and that's why I brought it to your notice."
After taking a few puffs of his cigarette and stroking his bushy moustache, Blip finally came to a decision.
"How big is Aurora city?" Blip asked.
"Big enough for our plan to actually work if we combine it with Raven city and our city."
"Perfect, I want you to make sure they are unable to function properly. I mean block all the entrance point to the city and demand exuberant taxes from those that wants to go there." Blip said.
"Without people migrating there, they would slowly weaken and they are weakened enough, we strike and take the city for ourselves."
"And nobody would be able to stop us. Not the Head General on their side, nor the one called the werewolf slayer. Victory will be ours." Blip smirked.
"Victory is assured!" The two men bowed. Enjoy more content from empire
