Starting From Douluo, Glory is Invincible

Chapter 718: Angry

 “Two children?” William James frowned slightly. He sat in the spacious study room and listened to the assistant's report. Maps of border city-states hang on the walls of the study, and the table is filled with various documents and reports. The sunlight outside the window shone on his face through the gaps in the curtains, adding a bit of vicissitudes to his deep face.

The assistant nodded, with a hint of uncertainty in his tone: "Yes, City Lord. According to the guild seal and letter they brought, they are indeed people sent by the Dragon Pattern Totem Guild. But... they are indeed very young, it seems Like an underage child.”

William James was silent for a moment. He knew that although the level of spiritual beasts was the lowest, their number could not be ignored. This is why he issued a reward order and even paid additional rewards. He originally thought that some experienced guild teams would be attracted, but unexpectedly, two children came instead.

 “How strong are they?” asked William James.

“Based on their self-introduction and our preliminary testing, their strength is about the level of an intermediate spiritualist.” the assistant replied.

William James sighed and shook his head: "This is too low. Even the lowest level spiritual beasts on the border are not so easy to deal with. Let them go and give them some silver coins as travel expenses. Tell them, Don’t be too ambitious, young people should keep to themselves.”

“Yes, City Lord.” The assistant responded, turned around and exited the study.

 …

Zhang Tao stood at the gate of the city lord's mansion, holding a few silver coins in his hand, his face full of confusion. He turned to look at the shadow beside him, with a hint of confusion in his tone: "What does this mean? Are we being sent away like this?"

Ying's face didn't look good either. He knew what happened from the moment he got the silver coins. He took a deep breath and tried to stay calm: "It seems that they do not intend to see us, but directly deny our abilities."

At this moment, the middle-aged man who had led them into the city lord's mansion came over. He looked at Zhang Tao and Ying, with a hint of apology in his tone: "You two, please go back. This is the travel expenses given to you by the city lord. In addition, the city lord asked me to tell you, don't aim too high, young people should keep to themselves."

Hearing this, Zhang Tao suddenly lost his temper: "You don't intend to see us, so you just deny our ability? This is too much!" However, Ying grabbed Zhang Tao and signaled him not to be impulsive. He looked at the middle-aged man and said in a calm tone: "Thank you for conveying it. However, we are not too ambitious, but we do have the ability to complete the task. I wonder if you can be accommodating and let us meet the city lord and explain to him personally. our capabilities.”

 The middle-aged man hesitated for a moment, and finally shook his head: "I'm sorry, you two. The city lord's decision has been made, and I can't change it. You'd better please come back."

Upon seeing this, Ying knew that there was no point in continuing to entangle. He nodded and said to the middle-aged man: "Okay, we understand. Thank you for informing me." After saying that, he pulled Zhang Tao and turned around to leave.

On the way back to the guild, Zhang Tao was still aggrieved: "This is too bullying! After all, we are also members of the Dragon Pattern Totem Guild, why are we sent away like this?"

Ying, however, seemed relatively calm: "This is the reality. After all, we are young and our strength is limited. If we want others to recognize us, we must show our strength to prove ourselves."

 “Then what should we do next?” Zhang Tao asked.

Ying pondered for a moment, and then said: "Let's go back to the guild first and report the situation to the president. Then, we will find ways to take on some low-level hunting missions and slowly improve our strength and reputation. One day, we It will impress those who look down on us.”

Hearing this, Zhang Tao's eyes flashed with determination: "You are right! We must not give up like this! Let's go back to the guild!"

 The two of them quickened their pace and walked in the direction of the Dragon Pattern Totem Guild. Although their backs looked a little lonely in the sun, their eyes were full of determination and courage. They know that although this road is difficult, they will persevere until they achieve their goals.
