Chapter 24 - 24: Guilds of the World.
Chapter 24: Guilds of the World.
Mykel was in the White House in Washington DC with Richard and Russel. Russel was informing Mykel about the situation on the other side of the world. Mykel wasn't that surprised when he heard that all the powerful demons that came out of the portal had been taken care of.
"Based on what I have heard and watched, these people are currently sitting on the top as the best and strongest Awakeners," Russel said as he used the lazer pointer at the projected screen.
Mykel looked at the names and wrote them down on his phone because he was interested in each one of them.
"Now, after everything has settled down and the portals seemed to be inactive, these people have formed a guild. These are the names and I have put them in a rank based on the previous information I have shown you," Russel said.

"I'm sorry if I offend you by putting your guild in the ninth place, but I calculate it not only based on individual power but also the number of members," Russel explained nervously as he looked at Mykel.
"No, I'm fine with that. It would be best if you put my guild out of this since I'm more interested in the other guilds that aren't mentioned here. There must be a lot of guilds with potentials, so you can remove mine in there," Mykel replied as he looked at the names of the guilds. "Or just replace my guild with one of the four guilds here," Mykel suggested.
Mykel was really unbothered by it, and there was one name that took his interest. The Redshield Guild and he didn't know that they made their own guild, and surprisingly better than his guild.
"I'll do that if you want it, Mister Mykel," Russel said.
"Also, if you can. I don't want to be mentioned anywhere or my guild. I want to watch these guilds take their fame and glory from behind the curtain. I'm interested in them and want to see them in person. With that being said, I don't want to be recognized by them yet," Mykel said.
Richard had been so quiet and he looked troubled that Mykel could see it in his face. Richard realized that Mykel had been staring at him, and then Mykel raised his eyebrows.
"This morning, Alfredo contacted me and he wanted to buy the giant demon's body. He gave a stupid amount of money for it, but since it was you who defeated it, I can't give the answer right away, but he didn't know that," Richard said.
"You can do whatever you want with it. I don't need it and neither does my team," Mykel said as he looked at his phone.
Richard nodded with understanding and then discussed it with Russel. Mykel on the other hand had been staring at the Redshield Guild on his phone. He decided to check it out on the internet, but there was barely any information about them.
"I have been wondering. The Redshield made their own guild? Who are the members?" Mykel asked.
"We actually don't know much about it, but the King himself asked for their protection. We tried to dig for any information, but it was really hard to do because the King himself protected their information," Richard answered.
"That's why I believe the Redshield Guild is actually powerful and I put them in the list. Only a few people in the world know that the Redshield created a guild," Russel said.
"Is that so? Then I changed my mind. Tell Alfredo if he wants to buy the demon's body, he has to contact me because I'm the one who killed it," Mykel said as he looked at both of them. "I'm going to dig for information about them," Mykel continued.
"It's risky, can you do it?" Richard asked.
"I'll be fine. Even if I ended up in a bad spot, I won't drag you in. I can promise you that," Mykel answered without hesitation. "That would be great if I could meet him in his place, but that would be impossible at the moment," Mykel continued.
"Wait, hold on a minute. Mister Mykel, I think you're really in luck because a month from now, all the guilds are going to meet. It's still a plan though, but I think it might be happening," Russel said with his arms crossed.
"Who's so optimistic enough to invite them and that all of them would attend that event?" Mykel asked.
"It was Sir Alfredo himself who suggested that, and he planned to bring them all to his palace. He said it was to let all the strong Awakeners know each other," Russel explained.
Mykel scoffed as he put his phone in his pocket.
"He's trying to bring some of them to his side. What a cunning man," Mykel said with a smirk on his face. "Well then, if that's the case I should prepare for that," Mykel continued as he stood up.
Mykel left and went back to New York with the helicopter as he waited for Alfredo to contact him. When he was back in his office, Alfredo hadn't contacted him still, so he just focused on training his team and told them about the Awakeners and the Guilds.
After training was over, he was surfing the Internet and trying to get something about the Redshield family again. This time, he went into a conspiracy theory site and found a lot of interesting coincidences about the world order.
"Illuminati and freemason. They have a lot of branches around Europe," Mykel talked to himself as he put his chin on his knuckles.
He found a lot of old pictures of people wearing a waist cloak with a symbol of an eye inside a triangle. Those people were famous people, and to his surprise, one of them was an ex-president of the United States. He was also surprised when he saw a few core members of the freemason were Redshield.
"I care not what puppet is placed upon the throne of England to rule the Empire on which the sun never sets. The man who controls Britain's money supply controls the British Empire, and I control the British money supply," Mykel quoted the words that Alfredo's father said. "Give me control of a Nation's money supply, and I care not who makes its laws," This time, Mykel quoted what Alfredo said. "What an interesting family," Mykel said as he chuckled.
As Mykel dug deeper into the rabbit hole, his phone rang, and it was Alfredo who called him.
"I heard that you were the one who killed the demon, so I immediately call you when I heard it from Russel. Since you must have heard about it, I'll tell you the price for the body that you killed. I'm offering you thirty billion dollars, how's that?" Alfredo asked.
Mykel wanted to decline the offer and was urged to ask for information about the Redshield family in return, but it would be risky and might put him in a bad spot.
"Twenty billion is enough. You don't have to dig your pocket deeper for this. I don't want to make you broke because of doing business with me," Mykel answered.
Alfredo laughed really hard that his voice couldn't be captured, he then cleared his throat and said, "You're underestimating my family wealth, Mykel Alester, but I would gladly accept that."
Mykel hung up the phone after he was done with the matter and continued to surf the Internet. He then found an interesting comment on the article, and it was someone who knew a lot about of Illuminati and Freemason. The person didn't leave any information about themselves, so Mykel clicked on the profile of the person who left that comment.
To his surprise, all the person's comments were always about the Illuminati, Freemason, and Redshield family articles. He read all of the person's comments and found it interesting and all the conspiracy theories that person said were spot on and made Mykel think it all wasn't just a coincidence.
"I need to find this person," Mykel said as he looked out the window.
