The SSS-rank Guide Doesn't Need Saving novel Chapter 126

Chapter 126: Using the Bracelet as a Medium

Aisha did not know what he meant by her little followers until she saw them.

Vesper, Kane, and Sabel were inside a room with several others on the highest floor of the building they were in. They looked like little puppies lost in the jungle full of hyenas and lions, shivering and lowering their heads into their chest while wishing they could dig and bury themselves into the ground.

One raucous man with red hair and hooped earrings had his arm curled around Kane’s shoulders. He held a glass of alcohol and amiably said, "Young man, you’re a Guide, right?"

Kane nodded, then shook his head, undecisive.

Reassured, the man with red hair patted him and laughed, "Good! Once you graduate in the future, come and join our organization. We won’t treat you horribly."

"Vince, what are you talking about? He’s a D-rank." One man with a barrel-like chest and a long beard tied into a braid and secured with black gems threw a piece of trash at him. "We can’t let a D-rank join us."

Vince, the red-haired and third-in-command of their fleet, effortlessly dodged the thrash thrown at him. Then, he rolled his eyes and replied, "Idiot. Keep saying that and all the Guides in this galaxy will run away from us!"

"That’s right!"

"Don’t discriminate against lower-rank Guides!"

"Fuck, don’t jinx us, Elias! Apologize!"

The long-bearded man named Elias touched his beard. Despite the food and cups thrown at him by his shipmates, he did not fly into rage, accepting their criticism by taking a huge swig from the bottle of alcohol instead.

Then, he looked at Kane, scoffing unapologetically. "So what? Isn’t it true? All the Guides we employ or take into our ships either abandon us on our deathbed or try to kill us themselves. Even the Commander didn’t find a Guide who could’ve guided him. All of us here are the rejects of the universe. So, why should I agree to accept him into our ship?"

His words silenced the complaints of his shipmates. Because they were a notorious criminal organization known for many evil things they or they might not have done, the Sentinels on their fleet have suffered greatly at the hands of Guides.

They couldn’t forget their deceased shipmates who were backstabbed by the Guides they were matched with by the Association or employed. This was also one of the reasons why their Commander never let a Guide do mental guiding on him, relying on other methods the Association Chief Master gave instead.

In their entire fleet, only a few Guides have ever joined and stayed in their organization. Most of them were relatives or family of the other shipmates they could trust.

The room fell silent instantly. They were reminded of their fallen brothers and sisters who were betrayed and slain by Guides.

Vince took a glance at Amar, who did not stop Elias from speaking and picking up a glass to drink, then sighed. He took his arm off Kane, but paused suddenly while his eyes were glued to the back of Elias, who was still grumbling about how Guides were the worst being in existence.

The other people inside the room who were across from Elias also noticed. Even those who sat beside Elias sensed something and turned to look behind them.

Instantly, they flinched and froze.

Several steps away from where they were, their Commander, who had suddenly disappeared earlier, had returned.

But he did not come alone.

Beside him was a young woman who had her face half-covered. She stood very close, or rather, their Commander stood close to her with his frame towering behind her. The pressure emanating from him was suffocating and ferocious.

They were all familiar with this kind of pressure. Their Commander only radiated the same pressure when he was not pleased with something, and before he blew up an enemy’s ship.

"What? Did I say anything wrong?" Elias noticed the others becoming silent. They stared at something behind him, yet he was unsure what they were staring at.
