Imbued Resonance [Golden Ticket Bonus]

"When will missions start again?"

Theron found himself standing in front of the old man minutes later, as though nothing at all had happened. He could feel the old man's gaze on him, but he scanned through the missions before him as though he couldn't tell.

There was a grace period due to the culling, but very soon Theron would be running up against his quota. He needed to complete another mission soon since he couldn't count on Yonowai.

Though Theron was expecting an answer, he didn't get one. Instead, the list he was looking at found a blockage before it.

His mind came out from the jade to find that a palm was over his own.

"You say you want protection?" the old man asked.

Theron's gaze flashed. This… was not part of his plan. He was simply speaking nonsense to push the old man into a corner and force him to follow the Guild's rules.

This turn around wasn't expected.

His mind kicked into overdrive, shifting things around.
