Chapter 2543 Solving the Problems!


    Another 3 years have flown by in the blink of an eye!


    After the many problems caused by the Jade Chainsaws, Minos and his people had three great years after Tiolos left Examire.


    Of course, the man hadn''t gone far. On the rmendation of Minos and Sender, the level 115 Supreme moved to a forested region a few dozen kilometers from Examire, where he would wait for months for orders from his contractors.


    As Minos had expected, after Tiolos left the city, the core of the Jade Chainsaws slowed their movements out of the guild headquarters.


    At the time, Minos didn''t know if they were afraid of him or if they were afraid that Tiolos had made some kind of deal with him. Either way, the leadership of the enemy group would be confined to the Armhands'' headquarters for over a year.


    That year was a quiet one for Minos and his faction. With the growing fear that the members of the Jade Chainsaws had of him, that faction finally stopped hindering the progress of Minos and his family.


    Minos was no slouch, however. Still wary of his family members'' efforts to be internal members of the guild, he continued to work slowly within the guild, following his previous ns.


    Until Abby became an Intermediate Officer, his elite soldiers wouldn''t pass the test to be Junior Officers. N?v(el)B\\jnn


    As such, this first year was a quiet one for the entire group. The team members continued to umte merit points, strengthen their spiritual foundations, and continue to grow in influence within the guild.


    Meanwhile, much to the surprise of some (but not to Minos), Kendrick and Grisdi had started dating. At this time, the first of Minos'' 11 targets—high-ranking members of the Jade Chainsaws—moved out of headquarters.


    His death was confirmed weeks after his departure, and the enemy group lost a powerful level 113 ally.


    In the aftermath, Minos and hispanions ran into trouble when they left the headquarters to take on external missions. Jade Chainsaws promptly med them when the faction''s second-inmand also died after leaving the headquarters on a mission.


    Unfortunately for the faction, it was toote to use Sovereigns against Minos and his people. Without the support of the guild''s Generals, and using mercenaries who couldn''t use the shdrain parasite sacrifice, most of the faction''s attacks in theirst attempts wereplete failures.


    On rare asions, they did more than get wiped out, but even when they presented a challenge, Minos''panions could ovee the worst of it.


    Thus, nearly three years after Tiolos'' swift passage through Examire, the leader of the Jade Chainsaws was forced to leave headquarters on a mandatory mission.


    Exactly 12 days after his departure, he was reported dead in the north, where he had been sent to deal with the war-rted problems of the Armhands and other central region organizations against the Firestone Mines'' coalition.


    With this death, the list of names Tiolos had received was finallyplete!


    ...


    ''... With the end of this target, my mission isplete. I have heeded your group''s suggestion and embark on a journey to maximize the resources I have acquired. Soon, I will retreat into seclusion. My n is to dedicate the next 30 years to cultivating in a cave, so please don''t be taken aback if you don''t receive anymunication from me for a few decades. I will attempt to reach out to you after that period once I have resolved my issues and can ensure that I am not being pursued. Hopefully, by then, I will have positive updates on how things are going for you.


    From your friend and ally, T.''


    Minos finished reading a letter from Tiolos, who hadn''t hesitated to leave for Examire after killing the leader of the Jade Chainsaws, knowing that his actions over the past two years would lead to action by the guild''s investigators.


    He wasn''t a fool. Armhands hadn''t be one of the most powerful entities in Oqia and survived for countless millennia by being careless with the lives of its members. Without a doubt, every one of his actions during these two years of bloodshed would be meticulously examined.


    Already prepared for the worst, he had gone far away to hide and spend some time without showing himself to the world, eager to cultivate and onlye out of hiding when he had finished processing the many resources he would soon consume.


    Minos didn''t doubt the ability of a level 115 Supreme to hide. When he finished reading the letter from the man in an Examire''s bar, he destroyed the yellowed parchment by creating a micro-wormhole.


    With a smile on his face, Minos, his head covered by a ck hood, walked on, leaving behind the payment for the drink he had ordered a few moments before, before heading back to the guild.


    ''I can finally prepare for my trip to the Seraphim World... My friend, I''ll just make sure that Abby bes an Intermediate Officer and the others do their first missions as Junior Officers. As soon as I''m sure they can remain stable in my absence, I''ll proceed with our ns.''


    The wing tattoo on one of Minos'' hands warmed, but the seraph''s soul fragment said nothing to him.


    ...


    Back on the floating ind of Armhands, Minos was soon in the Law Enforcement Hall in the city center, having sent one of his men to bring the news to his group.


    As of today, everyone in the group should focus on taking promotion exams and moving up in the guild!


    Abby entered Minos'' office and found herself face to face with her smiling husband. Without having to ask what had motivated him to call her to this ce, she understood.


    "So the time has finallye."


    "Yes. You must take the promotion exam to be an Intermediate Officer. Kendrick will take the Junior Officer exam soon after.


    Ruth and two of our other faction mates may also be Intermediate Officers soon, which will make room for Gloria, Lily and Hollie. If all goes well, you''ll all have new positions in a year at the most," Minos said as he felt his wife sitting on hisp.


    "Sigh... That also means it''s time for you to go." She regretted that part.


    "I''ll only be gone for 20 years, 30 at the most. When you least expect it, I''ll be back." He smiled at her.


    After this journey, he could stay with his family until he became a Supreme. Only then would he have to worry about being gone again!
