Chapter 2545 Opportunity

This chapter is updated by JustRead.pl

Upon entering Abby's office, Rhett met the blue-haired woman who worked in Minos' place.

With plans to travel outside the guild again for the next few years, Minos had given his position to Abby, allowing her to stabilize in the position before his departure. In the meantime, he had completed his mandatory missions ahead of time so that he would not have to worry about the same situation he would face upon his return to the guild.

For the past six months, Minos had been in seclusion in his family's private cave, continuing to advance to level 106.

Meanwhile, Abby was in position, performing the duties that should have been his, still far enough away from her advancement to the next level to worry about seclusion.

"Ma'am, I'm about to leave on a mandatory mission outside the guild. I'm here to give you my notice of absence," Rhett said as he respectfully placed a letter on Abby's desk.

Abby nodded at him, then asked him a few questions about the faction and the mission he was going on, telling him to be careful and to use one of the Summoning Crystals if necessary.

Summoning Crystals was the name of an artifact invented by Kendrick that, when imbued with the Divine Seal of Minos, could be used to temporarily transport the group's corpses to places where faction members were in danger.

The Summoning Crystal worked in a simple manner. When broken, it would transport the corpse in one of the group's black coffins to the trouble spot. For 10 minutes, the corpses could help Minos' faction mates, and then they would be teleported back to their coffins in the guild, if they were still "alive", of course.

Rhett took the Summoning Crystal, thanked Abby, and then carefully placed it in his room storage.

He didn't want to have to use it to save himself, but he was grateful for Abby's gesture. The group only had 50 of these crystals, and with Minos' departure for the Seraphim World imminent, they would not be able to create more of these precious artifacts for some time.

Rhett knew the immense value of each Summoning Crystal!

After Abby's signal, he left to continue his plans for the guild before leaving.

Abby was left alone for a moment until she had to deal with some alien members of her Law Enforcement Hall.

But at the end of her shift, she was met in her office by a General who escorted her to the council area, where the Chief Commander wanted to speak with her.

'Did we finally get his attention?' She wondered if that was the case.

Abby could resurrect level 114 Sovereigns who had cultivated on Zocarro for at least a few decades, individuals with solid and deep spiritual foundations. But she would have no control over someone like that.

Therefore, even after the last almost five years of their faction's growth, she and Minos had still not dared to bring a level 114 being back from the dead.

They could deal with such a being with Minos' powers, but it wasn't in their interest to eliminate his summoning objects. Therefore, they had avoided reviving the corpses of such strong experts.

But they had already started resurrecting level 113 Sovereigns, which Abby thought was enough to attract the attention of the Chief Commander.

As soon as she entered the office of the level 117 Supreme, Abby bowed her head and greeted the head of the guild Officers, respectfully placing herself at his disposal.

With only the Commander and a General in the room, the man got right to the point. "Officer Abby, Officer Minos told me about your great ability and your expectations regarding the black liquid on your corpses. I'm curious to know where you're going, so I'm willing to give you 50 milliliters of the black liquid to study where it might take you."

Abby opened her eyes and heard what she had waited seven years to hear from this man.

The timing wasn't the best, though.

"I'm glad to test my hypotheses and help the guild more, Commander. But there's a problem now," she said in a sincere tone, avoiding to look at the Supreme.

The man's eyes narrowed. "What is it?"

"I need my husband to get the best results from the black liquid test. The experiments can be... unpredictable, so having him by my side during our experiments may be indispensable. But he will leave the guild in the next few months to attend to an urgent matter."

She explained, a little afraid this would jeopardize Minos' plans, but not willing to lie to this creature.

This was someone they didn't dare hold against them!

"Oh? Where is he going this time? Is that why he's doing mandatory missions in advance?" The Commander asked, already aware of the movements of Minos, a member of his guild whom he was watching more and more closely.

The General there was also hearing this for the first time, so he paid attention to Abby's next words.

"Yes, Commander. He wants to keep an old promise, something he can't escape. He expects to be out of the guild for 20 years, 30 at the most. I don't know exactly where he's going. He didn't tell me. But it can't be far." She told the truth.

"I see. Two or three decades isn't much. I think we can wait, Commander." The General turned to his boss and suggested something else. "Minos and Abby will level up twice in the meantime. That would cause better experiments and less chance of wasting the black liquid, Commander."

"That's true..." The Commander narrowed his eyes and thought about how things would be in 30 years, a time that would pass for him in the blink of an eye.

"Very well, communicate with your husband. Have him completed this mission in the time you say is necessary. When he returns, he should focus on the experiments with the black liquid by your side. For now, Officer, focus on your cultivation. Use the time I'm giving you to become stronger."

With these words, Abby received the Commander's permission to leave the guild council with a new mission in mind, the opportunity she and Minos had been waiting for.

Luckily, they would have time to prepare!
