Chapter 68 Forced agreement.
Anzel and the others stood in front of a skyscraper in the middle of Melbourne City, and they were looking up, trying to count how many floors were inside. They couldn't believe that it didn't take long, to be exact, it only took a day for them to own that skyscraper.
"Miss Sasha, you're not joking, right?" Gea asked and dumbfoundedly stared at Sasha who stood at the far back.
"No. This is our headquarters now, and later there will be a representative from the government to talk about the guild," Sasha answered with a big smile. "Anyway, we don't have much time, so we should decide on our guild name," Sasha pointed out.
"I-I see..." Anzel still couldn't believe it and wondered how powerful the Redshield family was.
Sasha invited them into the building and showed them how big the inside was. She then brought them to the meeting room which was on the twenty-second floor to discuss the name. Although they were going to discuss it, they already knew the perfect name for their guild, and that was the Virtue Guild.
After the representative from the government came and registered the Virtue Guild and made it legitimate, the government surprisingly didn't ask for anything in return. The prime minister wished and hoped that the Virtue Guild could help them rebuild the country, and he would help with everything he could to support them.
"Is there anything else that we need to know, Miss Sasha?" Henry asked, and he was the representative from the government.
"Yes, we are going to attempt clearing the portal as our debut," Sasha answered as she nodded her head.
Henry and his assistant were surprised because they never thought the time had finally come. They had been begging the Guilds of the World, but none of them were giving a response as if they didn't care about the situation in Australia.
"Just the seven of you?" Henry asked.
"Yes, we are confident with our abilities. She didn't say that we will clear it, it's just an attempt, so we might have to take a look at what we are going to deal with. With that being said, we will be going back and forth for our own safety," Anastasia explained.
"I see, if that's the case we will prepare all the things that you will need. We are very grateful, and the prime minister is going to love to hear the good news," Henry said with a huge smile on his face. "Is there anything else?" Henry asked.

"That's all for now. We will contact you once we have something to say," Gea said as she shook her head.
Henry and his assistant left the meeting room to inform the prime minister about the good news. Sasha and the others stayed there and discussed the attempt since it would be a huge leap for them.
"We will go in a week. Let's prepare ourselves and try to gain some level," Danny said as he looked at everyone in the room.
Everyone nodded their heads, but when they were about to leave the meeting room, the phone rang. Sasha picked up the phone as the others tried to listen to who was calling. Turned out it was the receptionist, and Sasha's expression went pale when she heard the news.
"I see. Send them here, and thank you, Callie," Sasha said and then hung up the phone.
"What's wrong, Miss Sasha?" Gea asked as she approached Sasha with a worried expression.
"There are guests that want to see us, and I honestly don't want them to be here," Sasha answered.
Before Gea could be asked who it was, someone knocked on the door, and they all immediately turned around. When the door opened, they saw a beautiful woman with long black hair entering the room with six people behind her. They knew who those people were, they were from the Redshield Guild, and they felt intimidated by their presence.
"It's been a while, my lady. I hope that we don't bother you," Agares said with a gentle smile.
"Have a seat," Sasha said as she tried to not show any fear or anxiety in front of Anzel and the others.
They all sat down, facing Anzel and the others, and they were judgingly staring at them. Lilith was sitting on the opposite side of Sasha, and she had been smiling and staring at Sasha ever since she came in.
"To think that all of you are here, there must be something important that you want to say. Please make it short because we are going to prepare to enter the portal," Sasha said as she looked at them. Explore stories on empire
"That's exactly why we are here, Miss," Lilith replied as she leaned her body forward. "We would like to offer and clear the portal with your guild," Lilith explained.
Anzel and the others looked at Lilith with suspicion because that sounded so fishy.
"We don't want to get involved with the Guilds of the World, and since the Redshield Guild is a part of it, I have to decline your offer," Sasha answered as she shook her head. She knew that Anzel and the others were agreeing with her answer and decision.
"If that's the case we can easily leave the Guilds of the World since we have been excluded in their expeditions. We have no reason to stay if we're not getting the respect from Mykel and the others," Agares answered and he looked a bit pissed when he mentioned Mykel's name. "That's that, but our main reason is so we can serve you, my lady. If my lady doesn't want to take over the Redshield Guild, at least let us follow you and be your reliable allies," Agares pointed out as he stared at Sasha.
Hearing Agares' reasonings, made Anzel and the others convinced that they genuinely wanted to follow Sasha. With little to none of them knowing about the Redshield family and guild, and what happened between them and the rest of the Guilds of the World, it was easy for Agares to bend the truth.
Sasha knew how cunning Agares was, and how Lilith used her beauty and charming treat to make them erase their suspicions. She didn't know what to say or what to do to make them away from her and the others. It was already too late and realized it was Lilith's plan all along so she could still keep an eye on Sasha.
Everyone's eyes were pointing at Sasha, they were waiting for her answer and response. Since she was appointed as a leader, she had to put aside her personal issues for the guild. She had no other choice but to accept them.
"I have one condition, and that's for you to not get in my way," Sasha said with a serious expression.
"Your wish is our command, my lady," Agares answered and nodded his head with understanding. "With that being said, we will meet again on the day of the attempt. Thank you for your time, my lady," Agares said as he stood up and stared Sasha in the eye.
Sasha nodded her head with understanding, and then Lilith and the others left after they got what they wanted. Although they had already left, Sasha was still feeling uneased because of the fact that she had just dragged Anzel and the others into her mess. She could only blame herself if something happened in the future, and she was the only one who would pay for it.
"Who would have thought that we could get strong allies like them, please tell me that I'm not dreaming right now," Danny said as he looked at the others.
"It's Thanks to Miss Sasha's connection that all the good things are happening to us. We wouldn't be here if it wasn't because of her," Gea said as she looked at Sasha with admiration. "Let's head over to the hunting ground. We still have a lot of things to do," Gea pointed out as she stood up.
Everyone left me a meeting room, but first, they had to get their own floor as their working place. Sasha was at the top of the building, and when she went to check on her office, she saw a woman sitting at her desk. It was Lilith again, and she had been waiting for her.
"Why are you here? What else do you want?" Sasha asked as she stared Lilith in the eye.
"Don't be so grumpy, Sasha. I'm here because of some business, a business that will destroy what Mykel has built around the world," Lilith answered as she rested her chin on her fist.
