Liam was not eloquent and not really good at giving speeches so he cut his short and jumped to the next stage, the action part. After all, a lot of work was left to be done to bring order to this seemingly vast and humongous world before things got out of hand.
The first thing he did was brief everyone about the new young mistress in town. He informed everyone of his plan of staying low while allowing Luna to take the lead for the time being and her new identity as a scion of a mysterious faction.
Including Tilia, Liam trusted everyone in the room at the moment. He still had some reservations about the fairy manager but considering what she had done for him, he had to give her the benefit of the doubt.
Besides, she already knew that he was alive. So he had no concerns about revealing his plan to this group. At the same time, he stressed enough that this information should not leave this group. Their survival and their family's survival depended on it.
None of the Crimson Abyss guild members were idiots. Apart from the fact that they had signed a soul-binding contract, each and every single one of them had experienced the tutorial and the apocalypse together.
After dealing with Crawford, no one doubted the capabilities of the divine temple high priestess and her capabilities. The new world they were living in was completely beyond their understanding.
All they could do at the moment was keep their head low and become stronger. No one needed to tell them twice about remaining low-profile and secretive.
The cover story was that Evelynthea Alarastre from the Alarastre clan, something completely made up, had decided to make Earth her pet planet and holiday resort. The little tyrant had essentially claimed this world for herself.
The first thing she did was to kill the annoying old man who stood in her path and hijacked the previously top power of the world, the Crimson Abyss guild, using all of the guild members as her personal troops for this world.
With this story as the cover, the entire guild was set to operate.
"But what about the undead?" Alex clicked her tongue, questioning the obvious flaw in the plan. However, Liam nodded with confidence. "I have something planned for that half of the world."
While everyone else was confused, he summoned a familiar face in front of the guild, Kouske. The only thing was that he was no longer alive and was currently a soul minion, belonging to Liam's army.
"He will be the face of the undead legion." Kouske snorted arrogantly as he heard Liam's plan. It was indeed fitting for someone like him.
Considering Kouske's previous actions, many of the guild members did not like this development one bit but Liam reassured them that this was the way to go.
Kouske's high talent in necromancy was one factor in his decision but the main reason was something else. Almost the entire world was aware of how Kouske had fought against the Crimson Abyss and lost. No one would suspect that he was aiding Liam.
If Kouske acted independent enough, then it would be believable to some extent that he found a loophole along the way and somehow resurrected as an undead.
This would come in handy if some enemies popped up on their planet silently and looked for allies against Crimson Abyss or Liam or even against Evelynthea Alarastre.
Though none of this was hundred percent foolproof, Liam decided to still take some precautionary measures, at least to the extent that he could.
Naturally, Kouske was just an intermediate figurehead. Once Liam refined the soul of the elven ancestor who willingly accepted the position of his General, he would immediately replace Kouske.
With all of these main issues squared away, Liam dismissed everyone. The guild had just returned from a hunting trip, so he gave them a few hours to rest and recuperate. Not that they needed the rest.
Everyone was ready to get out of the training pocket world and head to the real world. However, Liam thought it was best there was some distance between their two groups for the time being. contemporary romance
It would be best to first take stock of the situation in the outside world before bringing the guild back together again.
This meant that Mei Mei and Shen Yue once again had to part with Liam and the two were very unwilling. They had just been reunited with Liam, and the thought of parting again so soon was heart-wrenching.
However, they understood the gravity of the situation and the importance of Liam remaining dead. This time the separation would also be for a few weeks at the most. So they relented.
With final nods to everyone, Liam, accompanied by Tilia and the transformed Luna, stepped through the portal back to the main world.
The portal closed behind them, leaving Mei Mei and Shen Yue, and everyone else in the serene garden, watching the space where he had disappeared.
Once back in the main world, Liam's demeanor changed. He went back to the silent hooded figure that stood at the back while Luna took charge. "I need a comprehensive information packet about the current guilds in the world and the human population."
Not everyone from the OG Crimson Abyss was able to get into the magic shop. For some, it was a matter of bad timing and missed opportunity but for others, it was a choice.
To begin with, the shady monk and the oracle had both disappeared. Liam couldn't get a hold of their soul contracts too as they had somehow managed to wiggle out of the system's iron-clad agreement.
Liam refused to believe that these two did this on their own.
Their disappearance and broken contracts implied that there might be other forces at play, ones that he had not anticipated or accounted for. But this was a problem for tomorrow. There was nothing he could do about this at the moment.
Instead, the two people he was more concerned about were the Lan siblings. Both of them were missing and from what he could see they were not in any danger or hiding.
The two were thriving as the guild leaders of the current top guild of their world, the Crown's Shield.
