Chapter 148: You Know I Am Not The Only One.
Fiona and Luna had never seen eye to eye before! Fiona would have ended the quarrel a long time ago by using her ability, but Fiona couldn't do that because Luna was so fucking strong that Fiona's powers just bounces off her like it is nothing!. In fact, Fiona has to be careful when she is around Luna to make sure that they don't get into a physical fight.
Fiona knew that she couldn't win that in a million years, so she always made sure that their conflicts were only verbal or psychological in nature.
And right now, Fiona felt like she was on top of the world. Fiona heard some of the things that Luna and Mark just spoke about and she knew that Luna was trying to recruit Mark into her guild. The mere fact that Fiona got Mark before Luna could just made everything right in Fiona's world! Fiona didn't even care to know why Luna wanted Mark so badly, she just knew that she won!
Fiona turned to Mark and smiled at him in that sultry big sister manner once more, and Mark just raised a questioning brow at her. What the hell was she doing here?
Fiona spoke up kindly as he heard Mark's question.
"I received a call from one of our members. He said there was a calamity class in the region and requested help. I figured you would be here and decided to come see you. Aren't I just the best guild leader?"
"YES, MADAM FIONA!"
The group that was standing behind Fiona all responded together, and Mark just scoffed. He looked towards Tylor, who was standing quietly to the side with his hands folded, and Tylor gave Mark a nod in greeting.
Mark joined the Artemis guild about a week ago. This was actually a plan that he and Pat came up with together.
After the lawsuits were brought up accusing Mark of going against the Superhuman laws when he went to the island raid without permission from any governmental personnel, Pat searched for a way for Mark to avoid going to court or showing up in a hearing, and Pat found out that most of the hearings and charges would be suspended if Mark was simply part of a guild.
Or maybe that wasn't the case at all.
A small wave of ice started to gather around Luna's feet as she had a possibility cross her mind. What if Mark was actually under Fiona's control? Luna knew what Fiona's abilities were, and she knew that Fiona could even ensnare those who were one rank higher than her. It was possible that Mark was already under Fiona's control, and he was only joining her guild because she forced him to.
But Mark met Luna's gaze with his own, and Luna seemed to read something in his eyes that told her that what Fiona just said was not a lie, and worse yet, Mark was not under Fiona's control. Mark really joined the Artemis guild on his own. Luna closed her eyes for a moment and sighed as the ice around her feet started to melt away into steam.
"How unfortunate. I am aware that a commitment to a guild is a big deal, and I would never suggest you look down on the commitment that you have made, even though it is to a small guild like the Artemis guild. But I would like you to know that I believe you can do much better. I have a dream that you could be a part of. Something bigger than the both of us.
If you ever wish to become a part of something larger, then please don't hesitate to contact me." story-source-MvLeMpYr
Fiona bit her lip as she felt a surge of anger rising from her chest when she heard Luna call her guild a 'small guild'. Fucking bitch!
Luna turned around to leave without acknowledging anyone else's presence. She didn't care for them since they were not worth remembering. They were just mindless fools that Fiona placed under her control.
But just before she left, Luna stopped and turned to glance at Mark as she spoke.
"Oh yes, before I forget. You probably already know this, but I was not the only one watching you these past few days."
Mark's eyes narrowed in shock. What?
