Early the next morning, strange sounds echoed across the northern dock.
"Hiss—ah!"
"Ugh!"
"Bring it on, I won't make a sound—ah!"
Cries of pain filled the air, one after another.
Bare-chested men stood in line, each with someone behind them holding syringes for injections. Matthew and Mack observed from the sidelines, watching the scene unfold.
"It's working, Matteo!" Mack exclaimed, feeling a dampness on his back. He looked at his fingers and saw blackened blood.
Matthew observed the process carefully. A silver needle was embedded in the Gorgon Brand on Mack's back, and the needle's exposed end steadily seeped black blood. This was the contaminated blood and toxins being drawn out from Mack's system. For a swift removal of the brand, there was no other way.
The sharp pricking on his back was barely noticeable to someone like Mack, who'd wrestled wild tigers in the past.
Seeing the excitement on Mack's face, Matthew smiled and nodded. "Once the toxins are fully expelled, I'll apply a special ointment. After a few days of treatment, it should be completely healed."
One by one, the dockworkers began noticing changes.
"I can feel something happening!"
Matthew was momentarily taken aback, then spoke, "Thank you, brothers. If you're willing to follow me, then I, Matteo, will watch over you. But I hope we stick to certain principles. Our guild, the Veiled Assembly, won't go looking for trouble—but we won't back down if it comes our way, either."
After Matthew spoke, he glanced at Mack, who nodded, recalling their discussion the night before. Stepping forward, Mack raised his voice to the crowd. "Starting today, we officially establish our guild: the Veiled Assembly. I, Mack Hancock, will serve as chief, with Matteo Larden as deputy chief. Who's in favor?"
"We're with you, Chief!" the men roared in unison, their combined enthusiasm and energy palpable.
Until now, Mack hadn't formally declared the guild's establishment. Though they'd called him "chief," it was only in spirit. Now, their guild was officially born.
"Long live Chief Hancock! Long live Deputy Chief Larden!"
