Omega Summoner

Chapter 2307: Suddenly Accused

[Please help me, my friend. I am suddenly accused of embezzling.]

"Sorry but I cannot help you with that in real life." Adrian replied.

[I did not mean in real life! I meant inside the game!]

"I do not want to get banned so it was nice knowing you while it lasted." Adrian replied once again.

[Please come to the merchant guild branch here in Avalon. I will explain everything once you get here.]

"Fine. Wait for me and do not get any ideas of escaping but if you do... just so you know and you did not hear it from me. There is a special dimension where communication magic is unreachable and cannot be traced. You did not hear it from me though." Adrian replied.

[...]

"I will go there now. I am just playing with you, but you know the options. (winky face emoji)" Adrian replied.

Adrian arrived at the merchant guild in Avalon, and everything seems to be operating as usual. He was even greeted by one of the attendants and led to the branch guild leader office. Adrian reached the office where Piggy Bank is and immediately noticed the tense atmosphere as if the owner of the room knew that he was being monitored.

"I am here. Now can you explain what you need to say to me?" Adrian stated as he suddenly snapped his fingers to isolate the space within the pocket dimension.

"Am I safe to say everything that I can say?" Piggy Bank asked.

"If they installed a magic spell here that can transfer sound then we are safe. I have created an isolation from the real world. They would hear static though which might make them even more likely to believe what you are accused of." Adrian stated.

"Hearing static is fine as they believe that I do not know that they have already wiretapped all the walls in my office. They would just think that is a defensive measure with the pocket dimension the guild is operating in." Piggy Bank stated.

"Seeing that your sweaty and on the verge of a breakdown, I think you have a problem with the main merchant guild?" Adrian asked as nothing could make his merchant friend this nervous except for a few things. Even dungeons do not faze him even though he has a merchant job class.

Piggy Bank gulped and took a glass of water before answering," You are correct. They suddenly barged in here and told me that I was being accused of embezzling funds that are supposed to be sent to the main merchant guild. I already presented them my ledgers and all records were also copied by them."

"You did not embezzle any funds though, right?" Adrian asked seriously.

"Why would I do that!? I am one of the few players that have become a branch manager of a merchant guild. This is very difficult to do as they do not trust us players that much, but I managed to do it. Of course, this is due to you having that contract that I should be the branch manager here if a merchant guild is to be situated here but still..." Piggy Bank stated.

"Ok, I believe you so please stop crying with your jiggly body." Adrian stated as he noticed that Piggy Bank's avatar has become rounder for some reason.

"Did you find out who accused you? Want me to send them off to the other side?" Adrian asked.

"That would just make it even more suspicious. The one that accused me suddenly getting killed might let them think that I am suddenly hiring assassins after them or something." Piggy Bank stated.

"Is that so? There are some knights already here though." Adrian stated as he could sense the presence of some strong NPCs which made him cancel the spatial isolation.

"Piggy Bank! You are hereby arrested for hiring assassins against your accuser." Three NPC knights suddenly barged in, and their leader stated the announcement which made Piggy Bank run towards Adrian.

"I do not even know my accuser and you dare say such things to me! This is not right! You are slandering me! I even gave all the records here!" Piggy Bank retorted as he was now behind Adrian.

"Silence! You are to be arrested now. Get him." The knight leader stated and the two beside him started to walk towards Piggy Bank.

"Who gave you the authority to do arrests at my own territory without even informing me?" Adrian coldly stated as his voice felt like it became lower than before.

The two knights that were about to take Piggy Bank suddenly felt gravity increase for them. They tried taking a few more steps but both of them had to stop themselves from kissing the floor. The knight leader gulped as Adrian no longer hid his powerful presence which made all of the beings in the merchant guild have their skin crawling.

"You do not have authority here, Lord of Avalon. The merchant guild is an independent entity and each of its branches is treated as an extension of its influence." The knight leader stated but he was quivering.

"Is that so? There was nothing like that stated in the document that I signed. In Avalon, I own everything even this building that you are in. I can easily destroy it and turn it into a black hole should I desire. Tell me again, what do you mean I have no authority here?" Adrian stated in a cold tone.

"Forgive the transgression of the knights, Lord of Avalon. They were merely sent here to get Branch Leader Piggy Bank for his trial. I admit that they are a bit on the brash side and even rushed here without informing you. For that, I apologize on behalf of the main merchant guild." A wizard stated as he bowed to Adrian as he was not that affected by the aura that he released.

"I was waiting for you to announce yourself. I thought you would just keep quite until I squish one of them to a meat paste. And you are?" Adrian stated.

"I am the High Wizard Dore. I am pleased to meet the Lord of Avalon that I have heard so much about. If I may, can you please release them as they have suffered enough." The High Wiard Dore stated which Adrian somewhat sees as a challenge but nothing he could not

handle.

"Do you want them to stop kneeling?" Adrian asked Piggy Bank.

"Are you asking me about it?" Piggy Bank asked back.

"I am asking the ghost in your office as it seems to be enjoying their suffering." Adrian answered sarcastically.

"I think you could release them. High Wizard Dore is someone trustworthy and impartial." Piggy Bank replied and Adrian released his gravity manipulation which made the two knights stand up albeit a bit wobbly.

"Care to explain how my friend here suddenly got accused of embezzling and then accused of hiring assassins when the first accusation could not be justified?" Adrian stated with a smile

but the aura around him was not happy.

"You are not privy to the concerns of the merchant guild, Lord of Avalon." The knight leader stated but that only made Adrian's eyebrow twitch. This miniscule eyebrow twitch suddenly blasted a small pushing force towards the knight leader and injured his ear.

"You were saying? I think I have heard something wrong." Adrian stated as he opened his eyes to reveal an extremely sharp gaze.

"To tell you the truth, Lord of Avalon. I myself do not know why that is which is why I secretly followed them here to ascertain it. I will make sure that no harm will be laid upon Piggy Bank if he truly is innocent as he claims he is." The High Wizard Dore stated.

"We are wasting time, High Wizard Dore. With you and me here, even we can take down the Lord of Avalon." The knight leader stated as he drew his sword which shocked the high

wizard.

As the knight leader was about to fully draw out his sword, numerous hidden weapons from the shadows rose up. About twenty beings made of shadows could be seen rising from the shadows beneath the knights. Each weapon is deadly and is even coated in a special poison native only to the shadow realm where the shadow people live.

"You fool! Do you know that the Shades protect this place and its lord!? Sheathe your blade at once or you will not leave here alive!" High Wizard Dore shouted at the knight leader as he even used his cane to slap the shoulder of the latter.

When the knight leader released the handle on his sword and dropped it to the floor, the Shades that were Adrian's protection unit in Avalon returned back to the shadows. Still, the fear could still be seen written on the faces of the knights as one wrong move could spell their deaths. The knight leader could barely speak to the point that he was almost frozen in fear.
