Chapter 2567 Kendrick's Growth
Months later, at Armhands Headquarters...
Kendrick had just returned to the inner area after dealing with some external guild members, one of his responsibilities as an Intermediate Officer.
Not only was he currently at level 107, but he also had a lot of influence in the guild, holding the position of Law Enforcement Hall Supervisor for the guild's outer wing. As the heir of Minos, he had the entire family faction at his disposal, and his talents and skills had earned him a place of respect even among the internal guild members who had nothing to do with his faction.
As he walked down the main street of the inner district, several Officers greeted him with nods of recognition.
As much as he was an Intermediate Officer, Kendrick had fought three times in external missions related to the Armhands and Firestone Mines war.
All of his participation in the war, which had heated over the past two decades, had been notable, with substantial victories for the guild's forces, earning him respect besides his influence as the son of Minos.
Through his portals, he had inflicted significant defeats on the forces of Firestone Mines! fre𝚎w𝐞bn𝗼v𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝗼𝚖
Of course, that wouldn't end the war. After all, the forces involved had Supremes on their side. But Kendrick's involvement brought glory to the guild and prestige to himself.
As he entered the Law Enforcement Hall, Kendrick saw the surrounding Law Enforcers stand respectfully before him, all aware he would be the next overseer of the hall.
Abby was still in place, but no one believed she would be in that position for much longer. As for Minos, well, everyone was wondering when he would return and how things would go from there.
"Are you preparing for another external mission, Kendrick?" One of the senior Sovereigns asked on the way to Abby's office, his gaze showing genuine respect.
Kendrick saw the Officer who he had already saved his life once on one of his external missions and nodded positively. "I've just put my younger sister in charge of the outer hall. I'll be gone for a few weeks," he said with an anxious tone for the coming battles.
Kendrick hadn't grown so quickly without high-level battles, deadly challenges that could put his life in danger at any moment!
"Good luck with your battles. I'll continue helping your family here." The man said as he watched the young brown-haired human enter the hall chief's office.
When Kendrick entered his mother's workplace, he found the blue-haired woman working alongside Otis, the large level 109 robot, as well as Gloria.
Gloria and Abby were currently at the same level as Kendrick, a little weaker than him, since his cultivation speed exceeded theirs.
"I heard that Vico and Callie have gone to the Spiritual World..." He sat up when he saw the three of them working on official documents.
Otis glanced at Kendrick and confirmed it. "They moved up a level while you were concentrating on sorting things out in the outer wing. They should be leaving the central part of the continent by now."
Nearly 20 years had passed since Minos left the guild's headquarters.
The Stuart family faction was even stronger than it had been two decades ago, having improved by an average of one level since Minos' departure. All of those who had come with him on his previous trip to the Spiritual World had advanced at least once in the past few years, with Callie and Vico reaching level 107 months ago.
Following Minos' orders, the two set out for the Ganaway Refuge, with the goal of traveling to the Artificial Moon and then making the same journey Minos and five of his companions had made decades before.
"How many people are they bringing?" Kendrick asked with interest.
"We have sent them resources to bring up to 20 people from the Spiritual World here. But whether they'll be able to bring them all, well, we can't say." Otis replied as the two women finished with the documents they had with them.
Kendrick smiled, imagining he would soon have some of his old acquaintances with him. "Well, I look forward to their success. How long will it be before they return?"
"About 30 years, I'd say." Abby looked at her son, but her expression was not good at all. She asked, "You're not here to say goodbye, are you?"
"My duty as a guild member is to work for the future. The war is an opportunity for me to gain merit points to become a Senior Officer. You and father won't be here forever, but the family will need this place as a base. I'll do my best to provide the best conditions for the rest of the family." He said with a smile on his face as he showed one of his fists, determined to grow up in Armhands.
Gloria sighed when she heard this. To see such a mature Kendrick was still strange to her, who had seen him for decades in the Spiritual World, surrounding himself with girls and doing only what was necessary.
Kendrick wasn't a bad person. But he was far from being someone who would say what he had just said—at least until the start of the War of the Worlds in the Spiritual World.
"He's right." The red-haired woman looked at Abby while her back was turned to Kendrick.
"Minos wants to go with us to Uzira in a few decades. He wants to take our children with him, but there's nothing we can do if the children want to stay here.
In another 80 years we'll have more and more natives from our homeworld in Armhands, people who will need his support... And in the end, they may not want to face the same challenges as their father. Staying and growing up in a stable place might not be a bad thing. But for them to do that, they have to do what he suggests."
Listening to Gloria, Abby closed her eyes, aware that her harem sister was right.
Kendrick was at level 107, while Lily was at level 106, and Hollie was at level 105. In another 80 years, they would be one to two levels stronger, maybe three for the weakest of them, if she was lucky. That would be a good strength, but not enough for them to be completely safe in Armhands.
To guarantee their safety and the safety of those who would come from the Spiritual World with Vico and Callie, those who would stay when Minos went to Uzira would have to be highly respected in the guild.
There was only one way to do this: through war, through merit, through strengthening the faction with the opportunity they now had!
