Chương 1057: 1057 What the hell is going on here?

"What? You have the guild master's permission to use the dungeon?" Alex opened her mouth in shock. She then shook her head, thinking that it couldn't be possible.

"I am the fucking guild master. Who the hell are you talking about?"

"Miss Alex." The slightly bulky European cleared his throat awkwardly. He did not want to be in this position, but unfortunately, he was.

"Mr. Liam gave us permission." He explained.

"Pfft. Liam?" Alex simply laughed in his face.

"Sure, are you going to tell me next that Luna smiled at you?"

"Ummm? Luna? Ah… Do you mean that white fox?"

Huh? Alex's face changed.

"Yes? Maybe? The fox waved at us." The guy scratched his head and answered, not sure why the woman was talking about this now.

Alex immediately knew that something was indeed wrong, but then again, she should have guessed this right from the beginning, as this no-name guild had daringly walked right into their main base.

"You really got permission from Liam?" Alex swallowed and asked again.

"Yes." The group of people all nodded collectively. Seeing their sincere expressions, she had no other choice but to sidestep them and let them all enter the upgraded dungeon.

The other guild members all then one by one walked into the dungeon portal obediently.

"Rey, do you know anything about this?" Alex turned to ask her brother, who also shook his head in confusion.

The bunch of them, including some of the guild elites, had spent the last few days inside the dungeon going through some hardcore training, and when they had come out, they coincidentally ran into these strangers who had ended up smack dab in the middle of their territory.

Just what had happened in the time they were inside the dungeon?

Alex frowned as she stopped staring at the portal and started walking back toward the guild base.

The rest of the guild group also looked confused, but they typically left these management matters to the top brass, so they weren't too worried about it and simply took in the changes, observing everything silently.

However, even these people couldn't contain their shock as the group neared the main guild territory where all the settlements were. All of a sudden, a new shiny building had popped up in the middle of the old ones.

"What the heck…"

Everyone immediately walked over to take a look at this new construction when they noticed something even more astonishing. There were more other guild players loitering around in the vicinity!

"What is happening here?" Alex hurried to the familiar figure standing in front of the building.

Old man Lan Ganji stood there and was even inviting the other guild people with a smile on his face, conversing with them in a very polite tone. In fact, Alex recognized one particular person right off the bat.

"Hey! Weren't you the motherfucker that called us spineless bitches?"

The person immediately froze up.

"That's right. You are that Joel, aren't you?" Alex stomped her way toward the trembling guy.

"I am a red-haired Barbie, huh? Brainless bimbo?" She crossed her arms and gave the guy a long stare.

"Ah… Ah…" The poor guy started stammering. His face was filled with utter dread as he felt the demon's glare making his skin boil.

Alex scoffed at the fool, no longer wanting to waste her time on him.

"What the hell is happening here?" She turned to ask Lan Ganjie, wanting some answers. Everyone else as well looked at the old man for an explanation.

Seeing the guild's core experts all staring at him, Lan Ganjie smiled awkwardly.

He knew that he had a reputable status within the guild, but all of these members, without a doubt, held a higher position, and their status was only going to improve with time as they became stronger and stronger.

"Dad, really, what's going on here?" Lan Deming stepped forward and asked. He had also been with Alex in the group that was grinding the higher-level dungeon floor.

The old man revealed a proud smile on seeing his son progressing very well, but as for the issue at hand, he could only shake his head.

"I also don't have any idea." He pointed at the building behind him and explained, "This is the new guild warehouse."

"Mr. Liam has placed several potions inside for everyone to use. Guild members have to pay with contribution points. Non-guild members have to pay with mana cores. Our prices are 50% less than the magic shop rates, so the sales have started to pick up."

Lan Ganjie clearly explained everything, but for some reason, everyone only had more questions afterward.

"Wait. Potions? Do we have potions now? You mean health potions and mana potions?" Alex furrowed her brows in disbelief.

But then an even bigger question popped up in her head.

"Wait, other guilds are able to afford health potions? They are blowing their mana cores on health potions?"

Lan Ganjie shook his head. Before he could explain, another group walking past the gates answered.

"There are also other potions for sale."

The guy then suddenly shut up on seeing the red hair and recognizing Alex. He then saw the other Crimson Abyss elites and became silent, quickly running the hell away from there.

"Seriously, what the hell is going on?"

"They all have Mr. Liam's permission." Lan Ganjie bitterly smiled. That was all the answer he had.

Alex stared back in disbelief. She instinctively turned toward the general direction of Liam's villa and saw that the golems were not there guarding the house. She then looked at the magic shop. If Liam was not there, then he was definitely there or perhaps somewhere outside.

The rest of the guild members had gone inside the new warehouse to take a look at the potions. But Alex still gazed at the magic shop in deep thought. She then silently started walking toward the small building.

And when she arrived there, she saw something completely unbelievable. An elderly woman and a man were kowtowing and thanking Liam profusely, with tears streaming down their eyes.

From the looks of it, the woman was too agitated to say something. Only the man was talking.

"Mr. Liam, I have no words." The guy choked.

"When everyone else… when everyone else ignored us… you… son, we are forever indebted to you."

Alex swallowed as she craned her head to see Liam's reaction. Instantly, she was shocked to the core as she saw the most warm and humble smile on the man's face that she had ever seen him wear.

"It's my pleasure," Liam replied warmly. Standing next to him, Luna was also smiling as if she was the most adorable and innocent creature in the whole world.

"Seriously, what the hell is going on here?" Alex's jaw was on the floor.

She was seeing white as black and black as white. Did she hit her head hard somewhere, or had she perhaps somehow traveled to an alternate universe?

Since when was this guy so kind and nice? That too, he even went out of his way to help some random people?

"Oh!" She then remembered the Oracle's words.

"No way! He really went for it?"

Alex couldn't believe it. She quickly opened the guild chat, and immediately a flood of new messages arrived. The guild chat was currently busier than it had ever been.

And coincidentally, all of them were talking good about Crimson Abyss?
