Chapter 1523: New Task



"I don't think we should be involved in such an affair. I personally believe it would be better for all of you to continue to focus on training."

Those words were the response Beowulf gave Emery when he told the old chief about the task the Wolf Guild currently had on its shelf. However, the latter disagreed with the opinion. 

He reasoned that, not only did the task give them a huge sum of fame points, he could even help the rebels if the situation needed it.

Some members of the pack present also showed hesitation about the idea, more precisely Yoro and Tatyana. However, their minds seemed to change when Emery showed them the details of the task.

[Host: Corvin Faction]

[Task Location: Sector 320]

It was the sector located in the southern part of Silvermane city governed by the Ironcrest faction.

Casting his eyes on the young Sandune Wolf, Emery said, "I'm willing to bet this situation has Ironcrest's signature all over it."

Upon learning the details of the task, the group quickly came to the realization that the situation most likely had something to do with slave trading practices, which was undoubtedly the one thing Emery's pack deeply despised.

As for Emery, while it was true he cared about the people forced into slavery, his main reason was that it was an opportunity to deal a blow to the Corvin faction.

Once again, Emery looked at Beowulf and spoke, trying to convince the old chief.

"There needs to be another reason, another purpose why this pack was formed other than just to win the Royal hunt." Looking into his eyes, his tone was sincere. "So I really hope for your support in this matter, Chief."

It seemed his words worked their way into the man as Emery could see the smile on his face. Nodding his head slowly, Beowulf then said, "Maybe you're right… It seems that age has influenced my decision. This is what a young wolf's pack should do, tempering your skill in a real dangerous situation."

With that, everyone agreed they would participate in the task from the Wolf Guild, except Annara. In fact, the red-haired bat girl's opinion didn't really matter as the group would still be doing this with or without her help.

In order for this to work, Emery had to be really cautious in his approach. After all, they needed to fool Corvin and also the Silvermane, especially the latter who currently had their eyes on them.

Because of that, he decided to split the group into two.

Himself, Morgana, Andrei and Tatyana would go to the Wolf Guild and accept the task officially. In the meantime, Yoro, who might get identified by the Ironcrest, would go alongside Beowulf and Annara to meet with the rebel leader. 

"Alright, let's do this!"

After Emery and the other three went through the necessary procedure, they headed to the designated briefing area together. 

It was no surprise that the place they entered was the main palace in the Corvin estate. When they finally got there, Emery could see at least two dozen wolf half-blood packs already gathered.

The one who would be leading the task stood at the front facing the assembled packs, it was one of the Corvin elders, a female grand magus called Fantasme. A middle-aged woman with purple hair that reached down to her shoulders and a calm temperament.

Standing together with her, however, was a familiar face Emery didn't expect to see. The young master of the Corvin family, Jason Corvin.

When he saw a pack of five magus dressed in stunning white uniforms standing at the front around Jason, Emery immediately realized this mission most likely had something to do with the latter, perhaps showing off his newly formed pack to outsiders.

Either way, not wanting to make trouble before the task began, Emery made sure to keep himself out of Jason's sight as he listened to the mission briefing from the purple-haired grand magus.

Apparently, the task was a search mission for the rebels' hideout, with about two dozen potential locations. Hence, the need to ask for wolf half-blood packs from outside to assist with the mission.

Each participating pack would be assigned with a Corvin faction wolf pack. The arrangement was for the sake of cohesion, according to the female grand magus. That way, as soon as the rebel hideout was discovered, others would be able to head over and gather at that location to help.

Hearing those words, Emery couldn't help but roll his eyes. Even though one of the reasons might be as stated, he was sure the other more important reason was to keep an eye on them – the groups of outsiders, making sure they didn't do anything out of the ordinary.

"We will stop all those troubling bandits once and for all!"

From what he observed, it seemed that most of the wolf packs that accepted the task were passionate about this, to the point of becoming competitive in trying to earn the bonuses for capturing and killing the magus-level bandit captains and leader.

At the end of the briefing, Emery saw a group of Corvin faction wolf packs make their way towards his group. 

"Are you the Chief of Twilight Fang?"

"Yes, I am Evan."

The group approaching them were dressed in sophisticated dark gray uniforms, consisting of two magus – one Crescent Moon and New Moon – and five saint-level wolf half-bloods. All of them had pride in their gait. Even knowing Emery and Morgana were both at Crescent Moon level did not lessen, much less change, their condescending attitude.

"I am Ashi of the Blue Moon," the Crescent Moon magus of the group introduced himself.

In reality, Emery did not mind having such a prideful pack, as sheer confidence usually meant a dependable group. However, what they did next quickly changed his impression of the group.

They blatantly gave lustful expressions to the female members of Emery's pack, their main target being Tatyana the brown hair fox girl.

"You are Trixie, aren't you? Wow, to think we'd be on the same team as the Red Pagoda's favorites… It's quite a fate, don't you think?

Thanks to their connection as a pack, Emery and the others immediately sensed Tatyana's uncomfortable response. At that time, Emery was not able to make trouble with them at such a pace, however, he secretly planned for a way later during the mission, maybe something to make them disappear.
