Chapter 176: An Unreliable New Partner



Irving didn\'t respond to Wendy. In his view, her complaints were baseless.

Eventually, Irving and his team arrived at the Angel Guild headquarters ahead of the scheduled time. To their surprise, Aron was waiting for them at the entrance.

"You really didn\'t need to be so courteous, waiting for us at the entrance of the Angel Guild headquarters. It makes me feel a bit guilty. I think we\'re battle partners now, so there\'s no need for such formalities," Irving said, his expression slightly awkward.

Although Irving was aware that the strength of the Angel Guild had been significantly weakened and that they needed to rely on cooperation with him to maintain their previous status, Aron\'s gesture still made him a bit uncomfortable.

Aron smiled and said, "Since we are partners now, I should show my sincerity."

After saying this, Aron glanced at Benjamin and Wendy standing behind Irving. "You two are the ones going with Irving on this mission, right? Since everyone is here, let\'s head inside. No need to stand around at the entrance."

Aron led Irving and the others into the Angel Guild headquarters. The headquarters looked better than before, but to Irving and his companions, it still seemed dilapidated. After all, the recent Night Blades chaos had reduced the Angel Guild headquarters to ruins. Although the Angel Guild had received support from official organizations, quickly restoring the headquarters was still an unlikely task.

As they proceeded inside the headquarters, Aron spoke with a slightly nostalgic tone. "I remember when you first arrived at the Angel Guild headquarters, I didn\'t take you very seriously. I thought you were just a particularly talented ordinary person. I never imagined that in a situation like this, the Angel Guild would need you to support it.

Without you, the Angel Guild wouldn\'t have the same influence it once had."

Upon hearing Aron\'s words, Irving hastily responded with humility. "I\'m really just an ordinary person with a bit of talent. The strength I have today is merely because I\'ve been fortunate."

"And I believe that the Angel Guild is still one of the top forces. Even without me, you are still one of the most powerful factions in the City of Warding."

Aron merely smiled slightly at Irving\'s words. Deep down, Aron always wanted the Angel Guild to be the strongest faction, not just one of the strongest. In the past, the Angel Guild didn\'t need to collaborate with other factions. But now, without cooperating with Irving, even collaborating with other forces wouldn\'t help them achieve their goals.

After walking for a while, Aron led Irving and the others into a spacious conference room. Inside, there were only Anna and a young man, who was presumably Nick, the new Angel Guild member Aron had mentioned earlier.

Upon seeing Irving and his companions, Anna and Nick quickly stood up. Anna approached Irving with a smile and said, "I didn\'t expect us to be working together again so soon. For this journey to the Abyss of Death, we must coordinate as seamlessly as we did before. Only by doing so can we ensure that we won\'t encounter dangers on the way. I believe you understand what I\'m saying, right?"

Irving nodded in agreement.

He naturally understood that this journey to the Abyss of Death was extremely dangerous, so close cooperation with the Angel Guild members was essential.

Irving shifted his gaze to Nick, who quickly stepped forward. "Mr. Irving, hello. I\'m Nick, a new member of the Angel Guild. Aron and Anna have already told me about your strength. During the mission, I will definitely follow your instructions."

With a refreshing smile, Nick spoke loudly to Irving. Irving nodded and responded with a smile, "Since you are a member of the Angel Guild, it means that your abilities have already been recognized by Aron and Anna. Naturally, I will also acknowledge your strength. In our upcoming mission, we must work together as one.

I believe you can definitely do it, especially since you\'re the strongest among the new recruits of the Angel Guild."

Nick accepted Irving\'s praise with a smile, though inwardly he believed that Irving\'s strength was not as formidable as Aron and Anna had claimed. Nick thought of himself as the strongest one.

After a few pleasantries, everyone took their seats in the conference room. Aron handed out several documents to each person. "What you have in your hands are the detailed information about the Abyss of Death. To reach the Abyss of Death, we must pass through the Desolate Canyon.

During our passage through the Desolate Canyon, it\'s highly likely that we will encounter ambushes from the exotic beasts residing there."

After Aron finished speaking, he turned his gaze to Irving. "I hope that when we encounter the exotic beasts, Irving, you can unleash your full power. We all know you are a necromancer, and you should be able to convert those exotic beasts into part of your exotic beast legion."

Hearing this, Irving slowly nodded. "I can do that, but I think if we use all our trump cards in the Desolate Canyon, how can we ensure our safety in the Abyss of Death?"

Before Aron and Anna could respond, Nick, with a smile on his face, spoke up. "If we encounter danger in the Abyss of Death, I can provide assistance. I believe my strength is enough to handle the monsters in the Abyss of Death."

As soon as Nick finished speaking, everyone\'s eyes turned directly to him. Although Irving\'s expression remained calm, inwardly, he had already concluded that Nick was an unreliable person.

The Abyss of Death was known to be extremely challenging. The exotic beasts within the Abyss of Death were immensely powerful. For a new member of the Angel Guild like Nick to boast that he could easily handle these exotic beasts was audacious.

At this moment, Irving had already labeled Nick as someone who talked big.

Although Benjamin, who was sitting next to Irving, maintained a neutral expression, he had already begun to disdain Nick internally. Benjamin despised people who boasted about themselves the most.

Only Wendy, with a mocking smile, retorted, "It seems your strength is indeed formidable. In the upcoming mission, we\'ll all be counting on you. Make sure to give it your all."

Wendy\'s sarcasm caused Aron and Anna to feel slightly embarrassed. However, Nick appeared oblivious to the mocking tone in Wendy\'s words.

Nick responded straightforwardly, "Of course, as the strongest person here, it\'s naturally my duty to ensure everyone\'s safety during the mission."

Wendy\'s expression turned a bit awkward after hearing Nick\'s reply. "If you say so," she responded reluctantly.

Irving didn\'t pay much attention to Wendy\'s sarcasm; instead, he was keen on getting clear information from Aron and Anna. Irving wanted to assess Nick\'s actual strength.

"Aron, Anna, it seems your new recruit here is very confident. Just how powerful is he? Can you give me a heads-up?

Only with this information can I formulate a proper action plan. If Nick is indeed as strong as he claims, then our mission should proceed smoothly without much danger."

Faced with Irving\'s inquiry, Aron and Anna could only respond with slight embarrassment. "Nick\'s strength is indeed quite formidable. He\'s at least on par with an elder of the Night Blades. However, compared to you, he still falls short."

Upon receiving this clear answer, Irving was slightly surprised. He hadn\'t expected Nick to possess a level of power comparable to an elder of the Night Blades.

"If that\'s truly the case, then our mission should be relatively risk-free. Let\'s not waste any more time; let\'s get going."

After making all the necessary preparations, Irving and his team set off for the Desolate Canyon. However, before departing, Irving gave Benjamin and Wendy a special reminder.

"During the mission, you must be extremely cautious. I simply do not trust this new member of the Angel Guild. I believe his strength is not as great as he claims. His earlier statements were just boastful talk. We must not be swayed by his self-praise. Should we encounter danger, we will have to rely on ourselves."

Benjamin and Wendy nodded emphatically. They, too, had no faith in Nick\'s abilities and felt uneasy about their new partner for this mission.

"If we really encounter enemies we can\'t face head-on, we should split up and escape. As for whatever strategy the Angel Guild might adopt, I don\'t think we need to concern ourselves with that," Benjamin said coldly to Irving and Wendy.

Although Irving felt that Benjamin\'s strategy neglected the members of the Angel Guild, he also acknowledged that it was the best way to ensure their own safety.

"You\'re right, but unless we face an absolutely unbeatable enemy, let\'s not resort to such tactics. We still need to cooperate with the Angel Guild," Irving responded.
