The Pariah's Victory

The Guildmaster floated in the air looking down at the wreck he had caused.

What he had done dawned on him and the moment was surreal.

"I have completed this week's task without getting infected at all," He muttered softly.

He was the winner of the week. He had beaten Jeremy.

~WHOOSHHHH!!!!~

Despite the notification, he couldn't believe what was happening and quickly surveyed the area just to see if the Hoarder was lurking anywhere nearby.

He was extremely distrustful as he expected to clash with Jeremy in the round.

His absence spoke volumes in itself as he believed that he had something up his sleeves.

He went back to HQ and was confronted by a smattering of applause at the steps.

Lillith and the team leaders were beaming proudly as they looked at him in awe.

Lillith stepped forward and gave him a warm hug.

He was surprised by her familiarity in public but it felt good.
