A/N: Sorry everyone. A family member had an accident and I had to stay at the hospital with others. Sorry for no updates.

Chapter 50

-------------------------------------------

By the time Drone arrived at the Crimson Thief Guild, it was already past midnight.

He walked up to the hidden entrance and drew a strange pattern on the ground before the entrance and walked away from it.

*Rumble*

After a few seconds, the hidden entrance opened up and the path towards the inside of the Guild became visible.

Drone walked inside a few steps before a guard leader approached Drone and called out,

[Hey, look who it is? You should have informed us before hand.]

A girl much younger than Adrian walked out from behind and quickly ran next to Drone.

She looked around as she tried to look for someone, before she questioned Drone,

[Eh? Where is the Young Master? Why did you come back without him? And, who are these people?]

Drone looked back at his wife Ella and Aymara, as they walked towards him.

Drone looked at the guard leader, as he spoke to him,

[Where is the Guild Master? This is an urgent situation! Quickly bring me to her.]

The guard leader was startled for a moment, before he nodded and instructed his subordinates.

After that, he started to guide Drone and his party towards the Guild's meeting room and led them inside, before he moved out to contact the Guild Master.

Drone and others simply stood before the huge table, as even Drone didn't dare sit on the seats without permission.

This room was often used in emergency situations to quickly decipher a situation and to prepare a response plan.

Needless to say, only the top few personnel were allowed inside it. The guard leader had the authority to organize things in cases of emergency.

----------------------------------------

Drone and the others didn't have to wait for long, as soon Floriana, along with a few of her elite squad arrived with her.

Drone quickly recognized all of them, as he had grown up watching these few legends and learning a few tips from them.

When these elite were in-charge, the guild was prospering by the second. They had earned huge respect among the younger generation.

Unfortunately, most of them suffered severe injuries and conditions and the Guild Master was the last remaining active member of that generation.

Now though, nearly all of them were accompanying the Guild Master, as they all looked very different from their past selves.

Drone could notice a visible change in their body posture, youth, armor, weapons among other things.

He had heard that they had retired from active roles, but at that moment, they seemed almost just like they had when he was a young boy.

-----------------------------------------

Floriana looked at Drone staring at her elite generals and sighed, before she took the main seat and spoke,

[I was informed that you have something urgent to speak to me. Don't waste time & quickly begin.]

Drone came out of his trance and quickly saluted the Guild Master, before speaking,

[My regards, Guild Master. Young Master Adrian has been attacked and is possibly being tortured or worse right now. We must act quickly.]

Floriana quietly sat still as she digested what had just happened, before she stood up and knocked her fist heavily on the table.

*BANG**Crack*

A visible fissure could be seen at the place Floriana brought her fist down.

She looked at Drone with anger filled in her eyes, as she spoke,

[My son is in danger?! And you dare to run away just like that?!! You have truly disappointed me!!]

Drone kept his head bowed, as he spoke ashamedly,

[Apologies, Guild Leader.. it was.. young master's direct command. He wanted to save his sister at all costs..]

Floriana became stunned for a moment, before she spoke,

[S-Sister? He is an only child! How did you mistake something like this?!]

Drone knew that he had disappointed the Guild Master badly, but he had no intentions of clearing his name right now.

He had to rescue his Young Master before any harm came to him.

[Guild Master, please give command... Young Master needs your help. The opponent has a large force. We must make haste.]

Floriana squeezed her fists tightly, before she took a breath to calm down and looked towards her elite generals.

[Everyone... you have heard it all. Time is of the essence. We have to act now.]

The elite generals looked at each other, before they began preparing the battle plan.

Aymara and Drone were included in the discussion too, as they were the key to reach the battle site and placing the formations.

Meanwhile, Floriana found it hard to concentrate on the meeting itself, as her mind kept flashing her the memories of the young Adrian.

(...just hang on for a while, my son...I swear to destroy your enemies...and you will never leave my sight from now on... ever...)

Floriana fumed silently by herself as the meeting went on.

She felt the rush to quickly rescue him by herself, but she couldn't take any chances.

And the ones that angered the Crimson Empress..

-----------------------------------------

Antona walked out of the meeting room, as the council had concluded.

Nearly half of the guild's top force would be marching straight towards the Camp.

They had to rescue Adrian at all costs.

It was then that Antona noticed something.

Near the meeting room door, a shoe print was barely visible.

Antona recognized those prints very easily.

[Dana... she must have heard us talking! Where is she?!]

Antona quickly ran up to Dana's room and tried to find her, only to find her room empty. A few items of her were lying messily here and there.

Antona tried to find her bracelet near her dresser, only to find it to be missing.

(...She must have left already... Dammnit!...)

Antona quickly went to her own room and grabbed a few important things and weapons, before she left the guild by herself too.

[Dana..don't do anything rashly!]

Antona's figure quickly disappeared from the area, as the guild behind her riled up with rage, as they quickly prepared for the rescue mission.

The Young Master of the guild, the one responsible for the revival of the guild, the future Guild Master's life was at stake.
