I opened an adventurer's guild in another world.

On the street in front of the Adventurers' Guild.

The adventurers, lined up in two rows, held flower balls in their hands, eagerly awaiting Anno's appearance.

Several of them wore the Adventurer's Star badge—with the increasing number of Adventurer's Guilds, these adventurers with special badges could benefit wherever they went.

A group of guild members stood at the door, ready to say "Welcome, Guild Leader" when Anno got out of the car.

But to their surprise, a group of monsters wearing clothes with the Adventurers' Guild emblem and carrying the Adventurers' Guild banner walked towards them.

The key point is that these monsters also exude a powerful aura.

The group, who had intended to surprise Anno, were still in shock when Anno stepped down from the carriage.

In the end, Linda was the first to call out, "Welcome, President!"

Then, Wolf Girl, Bunny Girl, and other guild members, along with dozens of adventurers, finally reacted and shouted in unison to Anno, "Welcome, Guild Leader!"

Anno, who had just gotten out of the car, was stunned for a moment. He hadn't told Linda to do this.

However, seeing that the onlookers nearby also looked astonished, Anno coughed and took out dozens of third-tier dragon scorpion corpses from his storage ring, and had his summoned creatures give one to each adventurer.

"This is an ancient demonic dragon scorpion. Its carapace has extremely high defensive capabilities, its pincers are very sharp, and its tail is also a rare magical forging material."

After hearing Anno's explanation, the adventurers who were just wondering why Anno had given them such an ugly monster corpse immediately focused their attention on the dragon scorpion corpse at their feet.

Some people even took out their weapons and tried to cut into the dragon scorpion's carapace.

The weapon, forged from high-quality steel, only had a white mark on it.

Upon seeing this, all the adventurers who obtained the dragon scorpion's corpse had their eyes shining and protected it.

A third-tier dragon scorpion, about three meters long and about one and a half meters wide.

With just a few more other materials, it's entirely possible to forge a complete set of low-level magic equipment.

Even if it were sold, it would fetch a considerable sum of money.

However, unless someone is short of money, they probably wouldn't sell such powerful monster materials.

The adventurers who were watching the spectacle were filled with regret.

Why didn't they think of that?

These magical materials are so easy to make money from!

Anno killed hundreds of low-level dragon scorpions; to him, these things were worthless.

He gave these materials to the adventurer on a whim.

Surrounded by a group of adventurers, Anno entered the guild.

Adelaide, as before, lay on the open ground in front of the guild, closing her eyes to rest.

Meanwhile, Buck and the other summoned creatures stood in a line at the entrance.

Most of the crowd that had gathered at the entrance dispersed, and then they told those who hadn't come about what they had just witnessed.

The guild hall is on the second floor.

This area has now become a hub for mid-level adventurers ranging from Gold to Mithril.

However, there aren't many people here right now.

Anno entered the conference room, and the bunny girl made him a cup of tea before leaving the conference room to Anno and Linda.

"Where are Brother Xue and the others now?"

Anuo didn't see Xue Feibai and assumed they were somewhere else.

But Linda said that not long after Anno left, the group set off for the Elf Forest.

There has been no news of them so far.

"The Fairy Forest?"

Anno recalled the Demon King's army's actions a few months ago; the one who attacked the Elf Forest was the Eighth Demon General, the Night Elf King, Atreika Emily.

Nearly half a year has passed, and the battle in the Elf Forest should have long since reached a stalemate.

"It seems I'll have to ask Troy about the battle situation in the Elf Forest tomorrow."

All Anno knew was that the army of the Kingdom of Nigal was still confronting the Lich King's undead army at the border, the ghost legion of the Dwarven capital had retreated, and the headless knights and fallen angels of the Roland Empire had also left.

However, Anno was not very familiar with the situation in the other three countries.

After taking a sip of tea, Anno joked with Linda, "Linda, the Adventurers' Guild has benefited greatly from your efforts while we were away. Looks like we need to give you a raise."

Linda rolled her eyes at Anno and said, "I didn't have to work hard at all, since you set the framework."

Furthermore, by the time you left, the adventurers' reputation had already spread due to the "World's Number One Professional Tournament," making the guild's expansion a natural progression.

After chatting with Linda for a while about the guild's progress, Anno asked, "Has the guild encountered any obstacles or difficulties during this period?"

When this was brought up, Linda thought for a moment and said, "Actually, after you and Lu Zhishang left last year, the Adventurers' Guild developed steadily for a month, and then the newly opened guild had a lot more complaints from clients."

After our investigation, we discovered that the adventurers who accepted the commission were actually members of a mercenary group. They deliberately sabotaged the commission in an attempt to ruin the adventurers' reputation.

Then I sought the help of Prince Tester.

Although such incidents have decreased considerably with His Highness Tester's help, a period of time before the new year saw many adventurers lose their lives while on quests.

At this point, Linda said with a serious expression, "I checked their mission records, and the commissions accepted by the adventurers who had the accident should not have posed any danger to them."

Then I found a trustworthy mid-level adventurer and commissioned them to investigate this matter.

Although no concrete evidence was found, some clues pointed to the mercenary group in the royal city.

Therefore, I suspect that the mercenary group attacked the adventurers who were on a mission.

Anno's eyes narrowed as he heard about the adventurer's accident.

After Linda finished speaking, Anno asked in a deep voice, "How many adventurers were harmed?"

"A total of 173 people, including 142 low-level people and 31 mid-level people, among whom 4 are [Adventurer Stars]."

"173 people!"

Anuo got up and walked to the window, looking at the pedestrian walkway outside. He said coldly, "Investigate further. I want to see who's behind this."

Linda nodded and said, "Yes!"

When Anno is not around, Linda, as the acting president but not a high-ranking one, inevitably feels constrained in her actions.

But things were different after Anno came back.

"Also, send a message to all adventurer guilds within the kingdom, and all guild leaders should bring their guild's progress report to the royal city to participate in the guild leader meeting."

It is currently February 10th, and the meeting is scheduled for March 10th.

All guild leaders must be present. If a guild leader is unable to attend due to special circumstances, the vice-leader should attend!

Linda immediately replied, "Yes, I will send someone to convey the instructions right away."

After Linda left, Anno sat in a chair and pondered for a while, then murmured, "If it really was a mercenary group that killed them, then let's make mercenaries in the kingdom a thing of the past this time!"

Boom boom boom!

"President, someone downstairs said she's your friend and wants to see you. She also said that if she just mentions the necklace, you'll know."

A soft, sweet voice came from outside the conference room door.

"A necklace? Could it be Monissa's?"

Anno had a bit of a headache.

Now that they've found this place, they must already know that the name Anuo gave her before was a lie.

This guy is a Chaos Faction Swiftwalker. Is it really okay for him to come to Sodar alone to see him?
