Chapter 35 Maido’s Decision

[Nearest dungeon location detected!]

Radmilo continued to walk toward the rescue team, although he was a little surprised by the notification. He knew that such a notification would not appear without a reason.

[You have entered the Former Tasmanian Devil Guild Building!]

[Detect monthly quests linked to dungeon location...]

It turned out to be a monthly quest notification. The system would automatically notify when an awakener was near a dungeon related to the monthly quest. The notification was quite helpful because the awakeners did not need to memorize all the dungeon locations in the quest.

When that situation happened, the related quests would change the order. For example, Radmilo had completed the first quest, then the quest related to the Axolotl dungeon would be the second quest.

[The quests list has been updated! You receive the second quest:

* Hold the fight with the Axolotl for thirty minutes. You are forbidden to rest for that long [0/1]

* Defeat the dungeon boss [0/1] free𝚠𝚎𝚋𝒏𝚘ѵ𝐞l.𝑐om

Additional reward: Increase your durability

Impact of refusing the quest: You will lose half of the item rewards]

[Would you like to receive quest updates?]

Without a second thought, Radmilo chose the 'no' option on the system screen. He already had a lot of items in his inventory and did not need the extra rewards offered. Moreover, there was Keith and the other hunters on the rescue team.

If the Axolotl monster died suddenly, then the first person Keith would suspect was Radmilo. He had been showing a wary look since seeing Radmilo in the dungeon. Because of that, Radmilo could not get Keith's attention.

Keith would use his power when he was very curious or suspicious of someone. Radmilo did not want to be affected by Keith's mind-control power. He had to avoid using the <Spool Back> skill.

Meanwhile, Keith managed to find the hunters from Team B and Team C. He frowned when he saw Carl was healing them. It seemed they received serious damage from the dungeon monster.

"What's going on here?" Keith asked Jim, who looked better than the other hunters.

"This is the dungeon of the Axolotl monster. The monster made us lose consciousness. It's a good thing Carl is here, too."

As soon as he heard that, Keith immediately glanced around the dungeon. "Where is that monster now? We won't be able to defeat it, but the rescue team has brought a special item that can get us out of the dungeon."

"I don't know where the monster went," Jim answered without looking at Keith.

He already had a bad opinion about the man. "Use your power to control that monster's mind from attacking us. It's a way of using power properly and correctly."

Keith gripped the hilt of the sword at his waist and glared at Jim. It was clear that Jim was insinuating he sometimes used his powers 'illegally'.

"Thanks for the advice. I'll go find the monster." Keith got his temper under control and rushed away from Jim.

At the same time, Radmilo arrived at the rescue team that was helping people to get out of the dungeon. They used items that could spawn teleport holes. The item was commonly called the 'targeted teleportation stone' and was made by Elena before she left the IRO. It could make anything teleport to a specified place.

Radmilo did not remember the girl's past completely. However, he knew Elena joined the IRO because of her brother, who was a member of the dungeon item research team. Her brother died in an accident during the research.

Elena found out that the IRO was negligent and left the organization because of her brother's case. The IRO forbade anyone to hire her. They hoped she would return to the organization. However, she instead joined an evil organization to survive.

The 'targeted teleportation' items were previously only owned by the IRO and were sold on the black market now because of Elena. It was bad news for the IRO.

The item could not be used forever as it required magic energy from Elena, who made the item. The IRO ended up buying it secretly through an intermediary on the black market.

"Now it's your turn."

Radmilo stopped thinking about Elena when he realized it was his turn to exit the dungeon. As soon as he approached an officer from the rescue team, his pupils immediately dilated. plied with people's requests, then Geovanni would also have to bear the shame since he was the one who brought Maido into the organization. The Dungeons and Gates Security Council would be disappointed in him. They could not pay much attention to him if the IRO dumped Maido.

"You still have a chance," Geovanni spoke calmly after being satisfied torturing Maido. Then he sat on a chair and the men in black immediately forced Maido to sit on the floor.

"Even if the IRO penalizes you, they will still give you a chance. They can't just throw you away. You have to make good use of the opportunity. If you fail again, then I can do even worse to you and your brothers."

Maido's body trembled with anger, fear, and anxiety. He was sure he had used his power properly. If the gate exploded, then it could not be his fault. There was someone else behind the incident. 𝐟𝓇ℯ𝒆we𝒃𝘯𝒐νe𝑙.co𝚖

However, Geovanni would not believe it if Maido did not have concrete evidence. He would also say that Maido was just trying to provide a nonsense alibi. It was pointless if Maido said that someone from an evil organization would kill him in the future.

Because of that, the only option Maido could choose was to nod. He looked down at the bloodstained floor and then said, "I understand, sir. I won't waste the opportunity that was given to me."

"You shouldn't use my name with bad connotations at an emergency meeting, either. I'm sure you can understand without me having to explain."

"Yes, sir."

"Then you can get out of here with your brothers."

Maido gritted his teeth as the men in black grabbed him and his brothers out of the room. His eyes were filled with anger. He had decided to find someone who would be a threat to him.

He had enough money to hire a spy. Thus, he could quickly get information about that person and prevent his destruction.
