Chapter 188: A leader's response
A week later, an emergency meeting was called between the core members of the Fang hunters and surprisingly, it wasn't Jake who called the meeting, it was called by Kate and Humfree and they had requested for all the core members to be present.

Currently, Jake along with Peter were on their way to the guild base.
"Do you know why the meeting has been called?" Peter asked.
"I don't know, I'm also surprised that a meeting has been called so suddenly. Which makes me wonder if a problem has suddenly cropped up." Jake said.
"Whatever it is, we are going to find out now." Peter said as they now stood in front of the giant building that was the guild's base.
Two soldiers stood in front the building with their weapons drawn.
"Students are not allowed here unless they are part of the guild." The soldier said.
"Students? He is the lead…" Peter wanted to say until Jake gave him a kick to the leg shutting him up.
"Just call Head General Humfree, he would talk to you all." Jake said.
"There's no need to call him, just state your reasons for being here or go back." The other soldier said.
Jake was now annoyed. 'I wish I had worn my mask.'
'Wait, I don't have my mask but I have something that might help.' Jake thought as he turned to his system and sent a message to Humfree.
In two minutes, Humfree was already outside.
"Let them in at once." Humfree ordered.
"Yes." The soldiers both said at once as they moved out of the way for Jake and Peter to go in.
"I think anytime you want to come here, you should put on your mask." Humfree said.
"Yeah, I was already regretting not doing that earlier." Jake said.
"So what's the meeting about?" Peter asked curiously.
"You will find out soon, just be patient." Humfree said.
And then after climbing a few stairs, they stood in front of a huge double door. Bigger than the one at the Head General's meeting room.
Standing in front of it, Humfree placed his hand on it and waited for a few seconds before the doors opened wide revealing a huge room that had a long table in the centre.
Chairs were all around the table and a small staircase led to a throne like chair with a red black design to it.
Walking up to the table, everybody had their seats. All the core members of the Fang hunters sat down while leaving the huge throne like chair empty.
Jake naturally walked up towards the chair and grazed his hands on the arm rest and then everybody in the room got down on one knee.
"We greet the leader of the Fang hunters!" They all said at once including Head General Humfree.
Jake on hearing that phrase, was coughing out loud.
"What in the word!? I didn't ask you all to do that." Jake shouted in shock.
"Please you all should get up and stop making this guild look like an occult group of some sorts." Jake said.
They all stood up one after the other and sat back down in their chairs.
"Thank you. First this throne like chair, and now this…" Jake said. "Please stop treating me like am better than you all, I'm just an ordinary kid that got dragged into this out of his own will."
"But you are still our leader that managed to get us all together and saved us all from certain danger." Simyon said.
"I know. And being the leader of the guild is enough for me. You don't have to do all that for me, what if someone else sees you all, they would have a bad impression of me." Jake said.
"Fine, your wish is our command." Geo said.
Jake just slapped his hand loudly on his forehead and shook his head before heading to the throne like chair and sitting down.
The chair was comfy and soft to Jake's touch and then he stared at the others.
"So what was this meeting about?" Jake asked.
Then Humfree stood up from his seat.
"After Aurora Academy disbanded and the Fang hunters took over and turned it into a guild, we are being looked down upon and being underestimated." Humfree said.
"They view us as weak and we would have been attacked by now if it wasn't because of you." Humfree said.
"Me? Why me?" Jake asked.
"The others are hesitant to attack us because they don't know your strength, they only have the rumours of the werewolf slayer chasing the Beta werewolf away on his own." Humfree said.
"So isn't that a good thing? Why call a meeting then?" Peter asked.
"That's because a certain group has all decided to act and they have made their move which is why I called this meeting." Humfree said.
"Which group?" Jake asked.
"The Iron Fist Guild." Kate said as she stood up.
Hearing the name, caused Jake's eyes to twitch.
'Iron Fist Guild, isn't that the guild that took over Helen's father's guild; the Raven's wing. It's the same guild which I had run into their low ranking members in town before.'
'Why are they trying to cause problems for me?' Jake thought.
"How are they causing problems?" Jake asked.
"They have stopped people from entering into the city, and they have been threatening merchants from doing trade with us." Humfree said.
"This has caused us to take a hit in the necessary resources that we need."
"Have you thought of sending soldiers to combat the Iron Fist members there?" Jake asked.
"We did but the idea was quickly dismissed because they can keep doing this forever while we can't. We need to conserve our energy because I think they are trying to weaken us for an attack of some sorts." Paul said.
"So what are we going to do?" Alex asked.
"That's the reason for this meeting." Kate said.
The whole room fell silent as they were going through all the options they had.
"Do we have any idea where their current location is? Or where their leader is?" Jake asked.
"Yes, currently he is in the Raven's city rather than theirs." Wilfred replied.
"Great then, this will be killing two birds with one stone." Jake said.
"Meaning?" Wilfred asked.
"I will just take a small strong team with me to Raven's city to try talk some sense to their leader and if it doesn't work and it's a fight they want, then that's what they are going to get." Jake said.
