Primordial Soul's Rebirth

Alice, the guild leader of Crimson Lotus was going to make an announcement.

This froze the reporters along with the cameramen who were about to close the live feed.

But they were not the only ones who were shocked or surprised by that statement. The press conference was still being streamed live, so many people across the world heard that statement.

The Crimson Lotus guild has become a guild with 24 S-rank raiders (No one knows about Noctura yet), so the words of the guild master of that guild are not something to be taken lightly.

With 24 S-rank raiders under her command, Alice could even wage a war against a country, so even the higher-ups of the government had their focus on what Alice was going to say.

Be it the government employees, associations, guilds, or the common populace all over the world, everyone waited with their eyes focused on the live feeds.

The general public would not focus much on the statements or declarations of some guild masters as guild wars and all, they were not that rare.

But things are different if it's a declaration made by Alice, who has 24 S-rank raiders in her command. With so much power at her disposal, the only ones that could pose a challenge to her were countries, and a war with a country meant the death of who knows how many people who lived there.

The declarations were like a challenge to anyone who didn't agree with that declaration, so the world waited for what Alice had to declare and what kind of effect it was going to have on the world.

Alex was not resting with his eyes closed anymore, he was also looking at the cameras as he wanted to look cool during the declaration.

"There are some things I would like to say before I make the declaration," Alice spoke as she saw the reporters taking their places and looking at her without blinking.

"Have you guys ever seen a guild that never backs down from challenges?

Have you ever seen a guild that would take an impossible challenge just because they believe in their companions?

Crimson Lotus does that. We are just like that."

Alice spoke and paused a bit, but the reporters were a bit confused, 'Is she advertising her guild, right now?'. This was the question they had, but then Alice continued.

"My guild has done something no other guild would dare to do alone.

We took the task of scouting an S-ranked special gate.

Then we came out of the same gate as the one and only guild to ever clear an S-rank gate, that too a special one.

Then we have 24 S-ranked raiders in our guild.

If we look at all these points, then is there any other guild out there that can claim the 'Rank 1' spot in guilds ranking if not us?"

Alice spoke again, and she intentionally said that there were 24 S-rank raiders in their guild as they didn't need to expose every card they had.

The reporters somehow knew what Alice was getting at and they became excited as they thought that they might finally see some action or clash between guilds again.

They could pretty much tell what Alice was going to say, and the same could be said for the people out there watching the stream

"I will be claiming my Crimson Lotus guild as the Rank 1 guild, if someone denies our claim then that would mean a war challenge.

Before I finish, let me tell you all one more thing, you can form herds or whatever you want, but do remember, if you become our enemy, then there will be no mercy for any one of you.

That will be all."

Alice spoke and looked at Alex who nodded his head, then she looked at Frank and Ann.

Frank nodded his head as well, but Ann seemed to be lost in her thoughts, which confused Alice.

"Ann?" Alice's voice broke Ann out of her thoughts.

Ann looked at the surroundings and realized that she had been her thoughts a bit too much. She looked at Alex with a deep look, making the guy in question a bit confused.

'Hm?' Alex didn't know why Ann looked at him like that.

"What's wrong?" Alice asked Ann as she knew her friend would not be daydreaming about some random thing in an important event like this.

"I will talk to you later about it," Ann spoke as she returned back to her professional secretary demeanor.

Alice looked at Ann for a while and seeing her nod, she nodded back, Ann then turned towards the reporters and spoke.

"The press conference is over now, please leave in an orderly manner."

As she said that Alice, Alex, and Frank got down of the stage and walked out of the training hall.

Alex could feel a gaze on his back and he knew it was Ann, but he really didn't get why she was looking at him.

Was it because of how he took care of the girl before?

Was Ann jealous?

Did she have an exhibition kink?

Alex just shook his head, getting rid of those thoughts.

He didn't know what it was, but he knew that it was nothing important.

He could see Ann had some kind of determination burning in her eyes, but for what it was? He didn't know.

He could not yet read people's minds, after all. He could guess what it was, but that's all, and guesses are not always right.

So, instead of guessing something incorrectly, he would rather wait for them to spill whatever it was.

..........................................….

In Green Country, Association Headquarters.

The ongoing live stream of the Crimson Lotus guild was being watched by the higher-ups of the Green Country's raider association.

They had some problems going on in their country, but it didn't mean that they were going to miss something this important.

"Do you guys think we should talk with the Crimson Lotus?"

A guy among the higher-ups asked.

The others understood what the guy was talking about.

"Do you think they will help us out?"

A lady asked.

"Everything has a price,"

The first guy spoke again.

"She probably meant to ask: why would they help us?"

A fat guy with glasses asked.

"As I said, everything has a price,"

The first guy replied again, but the lady that spoke before asked in a sharp voice.

"You think they lack money? Or do you think we can give them something other than money that could entice a guild with 24 S-ranked raiders?"

The first guy turned silent after that, but then an old woman with wrinkles on her face spoke as she sat relaxed on the main seat of the room.

"Let us try our luck, if they accept our request at an acceptable price then it is fine, if not then we will try asking someone else...."

As her aged voice filled with experience fell, everyone else just nodded their heads, accepting her proposal.
