The Villain's Story

Chapter 15 The Wellingtons Proposal.

Entering the suite, I had only two words to describe it.

Magnificent and big.

It looked like the suites a billionaire would own.

Before I could admire the beauty of my new home. The Guild master sat down on a sofa that was massive and looked comfy as hell.

”Take a seat, we have a few things to talk about. ”

He said while gesturing for me to take a seat.

I told Samantha to go explore and took a seat on the sofa in front of the sofa he was sitting on. Separating us was a marble table.

The guild master said to me.

”First of all, Weʼve got you your ice affinity skills and also a three-star ice-related mana training technique. we wanted to get four stars but we couldnʼt find one on the market. Besides that, weʼre completely helpless towards your spatial affinity.”

Hearing what he said, I asked him.

”Can my space affinity issue not be solved?”

”It can, But you would have to wait a while until we can get in contact with the elves. Thatʼs the first option. The second is trying to find a spatial mana training technique on the market that was sold as a dungeon drop... but Iʼll be honest with you. The chances of both are nonexistent. ”

He said while sighing.

Listening to him, even I could only sigh.

The quest reward for completing Super Dragon Sulerasʼs quest was just a guide to space magic. Not a spatial mana training technique. A training technique increases the rate of your mastery of the element. The guide will just help me be familiar with how to use space magic.

Sighing at my fate I asked him.

”So is that it? what about melee and weapon arts?”

”That depends on your preferences, what type of martial art and weapon art you want to learn, weʼll provide you with it.”

”And?”

”And now comes the main reason Iʼm here boy.”

Staring at him with a puzzled look, I asked.

”Which is? ”

Looking at me with a smirk, he said.

”Youʼve attracted the attention of white a lot of big shots. One such big shot had reached out to us to offer a proposal regarding you.”

”.. which big shot was it? ”

I already had an idea of who it may be but I wanted to confirm it.

”The Wellington family. ”

Hearing his response, My idea was confirmed to be true. Trying to hide the smirk on my face I quickly asked him.

”What was their proposal? ”

Suddenly his carefree demeanor changed and he said in a strict voice.

”They want you to Be the bodyguard of Sabrina Wellington while sheʼs in Shield. ”

... what?

Me? An E-ranked dude, to be the bodyguard of the richest familyʼs heir?

I was expecting a partnership but not this.

Her family could provide her with multiple S-ranked bodyguards easily with their assets. So why the fuck me?

With a questioning look on my face, I asked the guild master.

”...Why me? Iʼm just E-ranked and her family could provide her with multiple bodyguards of your level with just their assets. So why an E ranked like me?”

Hearing my question, The guild master answered.

”Well, there are three reasons. One is that no bodyguards of herʼs on my level can be with her while sheʼs in Shield 24/7. Second, they may want to get in your good books. Hell, they might even want to request you to enter a forced marriage with her.”

”Yo what? ”

”You are seriously underestimating your value. You are the first one among humans to awaken with a spatial affinity. If you can gain a better understanding of it. you can create spatial equipment and also create portals to unclaimed planets.”

Well, that was true. besides all my knowledge of the space attributes importance was based on after the Alliance accepted humans. Before Elijah found Humanityʼs ʼrealʼ first space affinity awakened, Spatial equipment had already become common due to trade between the four races.

So, I was undervaluing myself a fuckton.

The conclusion was that I was a heck of a lot important to humanity. I asked the guild master about the third reason.

”And the third reason is? ”

”Infighting within the family. Sabrinaʼs father is currently outside of the city and off to another continent. Itʼs been like this for over a year now. Rumors are already circulating that heʼs gone missing. By having someone as weak as you as a bodyguard. They can kill her quite easily. Her uncle is also the one proposing this. If someone as ʼweakʼ as you is her bodyguard. Her uncle has multiple chances to kill her off and make his son the official heir”

He replied in an annoyed tone, especially that ʼweak ʼ part.

Did he get offended because I said that her family could hire multiply awakened of his level?

Without even listening to me. He got up and prepared to leave.

”Iʼll let you think about this. You can tell me at the guild. Also, the Skills are in the training room which is in the basement, you can learn them there. I have to go now.”

And immediately after he said. He slammed the door shut.

ʼDude, are you that prideful?ʼ

I thought, that man got seriously offended that I said that there were many like him.

Well, I need to think about this proposal.

While it was true that Sabrinaʼs father had disappeared, this became common knowledge later on in the novel. while she was in the third year of Shield.

So why weʼre there rumors of him disappearing now?

Wait, It was confirmed that her father disappeared, currently, there were only rumors of his disappearance.

This damn Offer was suspicious. Her uncle had truly wanted to kill her as many assassination attempts had been made at her life in the novel, only to be stopped By Elijah and the other protagonists. So why is he proposing this offer if he can just do it while sheʼs in the shield? Wouldnʼt have any bodyguard not be better?

Unless Her fatherʼs Faction was keeping a watch on the uncle. Even though her father disappeared, there are bound to be some people that were still loyal to him and would do their best to protect his daughter.

I didnʼt want to accept this suspicious as fuck offer but I had to.

The reward was too good.

I needed to complete the quest to get the reward.

So I decided. Iʼll accept it. And Iʼll also charge them a fuckton for my protection fees,

Now being well aware of my importance, I was gonna charge a hell of a lot of money. A spatial mageʼs time was precious!

I decided to accept it.

And then I immediately diverted my attention to the basement

Walking down the stairs, I opened the large door and found myself to be in a large white room, The room was filled with top-of-the-line gym equipment.

In the left corner of the room were a table and a chair.

On the table were a few books, I immediately knew they were my skills

and techniques.

In the right corner was another door made of metal. Completely ignoring the right corner, I Excitedly ran towards the table and found my new skills and the mana training technique. Although it was three stars called [Whiff of frost]

I was gonna use this technique extensively until I got my true desired technique.

Looking at the skills they were, they were even more amazing.
